Usain Bolt Girlfriend: Was 'The Fastest Man In The World' Being Judged the Harshest For Dating Interracially? [DETAILS]
Usain Bolt made history today when he claimed another gold medal in the 200 Meter Sprint in 19.32 seconds, becoming the first person to defend the 200M title. As he rejoices with his renewed title of "the fastest man in the world", many may be wondering if the Jamaican sensation has a girlfriend.

Prior to his breakup with Lubica Slovak, it was reported that the star Olympic athlete had faced some serious racial scrutiny for dating outside of his race.
According to the Jamaican Observer, many readers had made the following comments regarding a picture that was posted of the former interracial couple kissing:
David Williams wrote: "I don't grudge you Mr. Bolt but why couldn't it be a black woman?"
George Parker wrote: "I have always known that there is something not right about Bolt, now i can see what it is, he is a dam jackass. one minute he made us proud and the other, he makes all black people ashamed, I wonder where the balance lies with the proud or the ashamed, I opt for the latter."
However, not all were against him. An individual who identified himself by the name of "Better JA," defended Bolt, saying: "People, people, what's with all these racial comments?? can't you look at the picture and only see a man kissing a woman? that's all it is and should be. i can understand the "sour grape" comments from the females but certainly not the racist ones. we can't demand equality from other races when we have these impediments in our head. BREATHE, STRETCH, LET IT GO!!"
Bolt broke the 100 meter sprint Olympic record on Sunday night in London by running 9.63 seconds, becoming only the second person ever to defend that title.
