Simone Biles celebrated her 'black track' after winning her second gold medal in all-around gymnastics at the Paris Olympics.
“I love my black track,” the nine-time Olympic medalist wrote on X, formerly Twitter, sharing a tweet from singer Ricky Davila that read, “Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning gold medals, and dominating gymnastics is her black track.”
Former President Donald Trump has used the term in public debate in recent weeks, causing surprise.
The Republican candidate claimed during the June 27 presidential debate that undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border “are now taking black people's jobs.”
It led many to question what on earth a “black job” entails, accusing Trump of playing on stereotypes about the types of work black people do.
Several black Democrats called for this, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett (R-Texas), who wrote at the time, “I'm going to assume Trump doesn't think my job is a 'black job.'”
Trump made the claim again during his disastrous performance at the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention on Wednesday.
Many social media users have since adopted the term to describe roles like Olympic legend or, say, the presidency, joking that Vice President Kamala Harris is gearing up for the ultimate black job.
Biles has won two gold medals at the Olympics so far, bringing her total to six.
On Thursday night, she became the first American gymnast in history to win two all-around gold medals, having also taken home the top prize in 2016. With five all-around gold medals and a more decorated record than any other gymnast in history, she is widely considered the greatest of all time in her sport.
