      I did read the article. Now did you see what the headline read? Why don’t you go removed at them. Or don’t and be a spitful downvoting piece of trash.

        The headline was to show a groundbreaking event. If she were the first black woman to compete in the Paralympics, that is what the headline would say. And no one, save maybe you, would think that meant being black was a disability.
