You're listening to Comedy Central.

BAM!

Mmm.

Welcome to CP Time.

The only show that's for the culture.

Today, we'll be discussing black gymnasts.

So bone bars is only the latest in our long history of black gymnasts,

making you feel bad for not being able to touch your toes.

Gymnasts like Seed Oglesby, who in 1964, became the first African American to win an NCAA title.

His event was the long horse, which I'm sure is impressive, but to me,

the long horse just looked like somebody put legs on a twinkie.

Oglesby got his start when his brother bit him, he couldn't climb a rope.

And Seed was so determined to prove his brother wrong, he started training in gymnastics,

which I can relate to.

My brother once told me that I didn't have the courage to eat a bug,

so damn it, I ate a whole jar of bugs.

Now I'm addicted to the things.

I'm having a time of my life during cicatoseason.

But Oglesby wasn't just a star athlete, he was also an activist for justice.

As a student, Oglesby demanded that his university stop competing against schools

that would racially segregate, which is bold.

Because college gymnasts don't usually have a lot of leverage at their school.
