Temper temper.


Field, why are you black people so angry? Even when you make millions of dollars and have a career other people would die for, you still can't control your anger.

I wasn't going to blog about Serena's outburst last night during her match with Kim Clijsters, because most people, unlike me, really don't care much about tennis.

But what happened last night was pretty unbelievable. Imagine playing a pivotal match in the semi finals of a grand slam, being the victim of a bogus call, and then losing the match due to your misconduct. (Misconduct, in this case, means telling they line judge that you are going to introduce her to your tennis racket. "Dropping the f-word liberally, Williams said, "I swear to God I'm [expletive] going to take this [expletive] ball and shove it down your [expletive] throat, you hear that? I swear to God.")

What you have to understand about tennis is that a foot fault at this level is rare, and when a line judge calls it they better have pretty damn good evidence that the players foot is touching the service line before the ball leaves their hand. That call last night was a bad one. William's foot did not touch the line. So I don't blame her for being pissed.

Still, as with my man, the football player from Oregon, she should have kept her cool. I know she was having flash backs of her youth in Compton and being shaded in the neighborhood grocery store (think about it) but going South Central on that line-judge only gave casual tennis fans reason to buy into stereotypes.

See, it's like this: John McEnroe can do that kind of stuff and it's considered cute. It's just his competitive nature taking over, just John being John. When someone who looks like Serena does that kind of thing, it takes on an entire different meaning. A-merry-ca is not cool with you Negroes getting angry. If Joe Wilson was a black man and George Bush was giving that speech the other night, he would have been taken out of there in handcuffs. (But I am a U.S. Congressman, take your hands off me. Put your hands behind your back, nigger....let me stop.)

But I saw this coming. I knew the Williams sisters were feeling a little disappointed leading up to Serena's match. I saw how Venus got no love against Clijsters in their match. This is A-merry-ca, right? And Venus was the A-merry-can and Clijsters is from Belgium, right? And they were playing in New York, right? Well how come no love for the A-merry-can? Clijsters was the crowd favorite in both matches. Interesting.

But I am not going to dwell on the dissing of the Williams girls. With all due respect to my man Common, I hear they are a bit housish. (My word.)

So go back to work Serena and try to get Clijsters the next time you hook up. The girl has some serious game, and she is going to be around for awhile. If you want to catch Billie Jean's 12 grand slam singles titles you are going to have to get past her, not to mention the A-merry-can crowd.

Here you go being dishonest.

John was fined, kicked out of clubs,booted from tournys,and was attacked in the press.

His behavior back in the day was hardly consider cute.

If Joe Wilson was black, you on the left would have given him Obama status and his approval ratings among you people would have been higher than God's aproval ratings.

P.S.,
We now see Joe wilson was telling the truth.

From MSDNC---

The White House tonight is providing the below clarification on what the president's health-care proposals would mean when it comes to the issue of illegal immigrants.

The question, as we all know, arises from the Wilson "You lie" outburst, and the core claim that notwithstanding specific bill language barring illegal immigrants from participating in the "exchange," as a practical matter, there is no way of verifying the citizenship of applicants -- which is the current state of play. Republicans say that then means illegal immigrants would end up being enrolled in plans -- bill language or no bill language.

Today, for the first time as far as we know, the administration is backing a provision that would require proof of citizenship before someone could enroll in a plan selected on the exchange.

Here, the administration also concedes that hospitals would be compensated with public funds for the care of undocumented immigrants.

She definitely let her anger get the better of her. I'm a Serena fan, so I'm willing to chalk it up to a really bad night. Too bad the match had to end that way. Well, you live and you learn, right?

Unknown said...

I don't think this has anything to do with race. It has to do with class. When you have millions of dollars and can damn near do anything you want and you get it by playing a game, then you need to know when to just shut up and walk it off!

When I am getting clowned by some judge or more closely, get dissed by some judge's clerk, I would not be helping my client or my situation by going all "thug life".

It is getting a little sad seeing these folk who are riding high, particularily athletes and actors, who can't seem to behave like adults and then are "shocked, shocked to find" that there are consequences for their behavior.

In words Sister Serena may be able to understand: "I hope you momma slap your ass to the ground 'til your nose bleed snot!" Maybe next time you will act like a grown woman.

Jody said...

Field, I am a big fan of tennis and on this one, I completely disagree. First, McEnroe did not get away with his antics. He was suspended,fined,and lost a match or two because of his bad temper and yelling at judges and linesmen. Second, Clijsters is the come back kid and americans love a come back story. She was seen as the under-dog. It is why tomorrow, you will see the guy playing against Federer being cheered if he gives him a run for his money.
Both Venus and Serena have, for several years now, been fan favorites all over the world, and deservedly so. It is because Serena is such a veteran, that her outburst was so out of line. She isn't some immature kid who got caught up in the moment. She deserved to be called out. And, she was playing again today with her sister for the doubles finals... so she did not get suspended as some thought she should have. (like McEnroe did in 87).
So, I think you are off base on this one. And I Love Serena! I think the Williams sisters are amazing athletes and have made very positive contributions to Women's US Tennis.

It doesn't matter how much or how little yu make, most Blacks are unable to control their anger and rage.

Blacks with celebrity status are visible proof for the white world to see that Blacks are angry dangerous people with no self-restraint. Blacks don't express anger appropriately like normal people, they are out of control life threatening rageaholics. Blacks will kill you for looking at them wrongly.

It is the reason Whites are afraid of Blacks, as Trapped in SC indicated in the post before this one. Hell, Blacks are afraid of Blacks for the same reason because Blacks actually kill Blacks over petty shit due to their rage gone riot.

Race Traitoress said...

I'm so glad you blogged this, field, and that you know of what you speak. I saw the Venus/Clijsters match and Serena's match before that, but didn't get to see Serena vs. Belgium. I assumed Serena would dominate, and was surprised to hear of the outcome, but didn't know the details or what they would mean.

Don't they use video or anything to verify?

Anyway, I wish I would have seen it live. And now with a $10,500 fine on top of everything? Ouch.

Btw, when I asked a friend his opinion about the football incident, his only comment: "He was stupid." But what if he called him the n-word? "He was stupid."

Monie said...

I find it interesting how the media fell in love with the White girl Melanie Oudin earlier in the week before she'd actually done anything like say make it to the finals and now the media is all over this Serena outburst story.

It was almost like they were looking for the great White tennis hope and now they are covering the Serena story as if they're saying 'see this is why we need Oudin'.

Sometimes losing your temper is not a bad thing particularly when you are right. Serena does not make a habit of losing her temper on the court and some people have viewed the tape and foot was not on the line, but she was penalized for her behavior. I use to watch tennis when McEnroe played and he would put up argument with he judges if he believed if was a bad call, and I did not blame him for that. People did not like his behavior because tennis is an affluent sport. I do not think it is an issue race, but more about class and decorum.

Now Mr. R., Wilson was not correct and the bill does not cover illegal immigrants under the health insurance plan. It remain status quo in that respect. Now ERs are not going to refuse anyone emergency care. No one is going to ask about legal status if the person cannot breathe, bleeding profusely, or unconscious. Doctors have a moral and legal obligation not to refuse emegency care, Many illegal immigrants are not going to seek routine medical care because of fear of being deported. Which means they are not purchasing insurance. You are going to have to come up with another argument better than the one you just gave.

Why must Blacks be placed into some 'other' catagory? As if the behaviors shown when pissed/angry are so unique.

They're not.

No matter how ignorant people try to portray Black people an oddity, underneath it all they are not.

Perhaps Serena could have acted differently, but we've all had the same type of moment that we wish we could take back.

Serena lost her temper and she's human, and anyone of us probably would lost it as well. She probably was about the call being incorrect and she lost the match because of that call which resulted in her lost of the game.

Field,

Thanks for the love this week.

This is my first stop every morning.

Free Serena Williams.

soulbrotha said...

Serena was out of line and unsportsmanlike. But please explain why the lineswoman LIED and said that she threatened to KILL her. I would think that a murderous threat would be looked at more harshly by the judges than "I'm going to shove the ball down your throat." Shouldn't the lineswoman apologize for that? And finally, why doesn't tennis use instant replay as for controversial calls?

@Anonymous, how have you managed to stay alive amongst all the Black boogeymen? Cuz you're just a badass cracker, aint you? Yeah.

Sorry Field, love ya, usually agree with you, but your commentary is HOUSE NEGRO commentary.

Let me tell you why?

You've allowed white folk to dictate how you should act and react. You've allowed black people to shame you into 'acting right.' You've agreed to silence yourself for the white gaze.

This is not the behavior of a FREE individual. You're still a slave.

I'm black, female, and I have a range of emotion, I have no problem expressing. Sometimes people deserve a few expletives from me. There is no shame in a well-deserved cussing out.

I read SI's account before I watched it and said to myself "you know you lost it when you're own momma is shaking her head saying I agree with Clijsters. I have no idea what happened either." Serena should've kept her cool BUT she also should've been given some latitude given that emotions run high in such a high stakes match. Tennis still acts like 1920 in terms of formalities and the women are more restricted in their conduct than the men.

Serena was as gracious as could be when she greeted Clijsters and Clijsters said so. All the call did was rob Clijsters of a real victory if the accounts of how well she was playing are to be believed. In the footage after, you could tell she didn't want the match to end that way (any true athlete wants to win outright). Serena is a giant of the sport and Clijsters wanted a real win not a technical win. I wish they'd let them play on and if they had to issue some sort of conduct reprimand they could've done so after the match.

In sports, sometimes the "good ones" get punished for a lot less than the "bad ones" because when a good one loses their cool it's unexpected. People just roll their eyes when the bad ones do their thing and say well that's so and so and s/he is a real asshole.

As for fans, I think people love the underdog when they're playing against someone who is usually seen as invincible. Clijsters had a good "drama" narrative behind her and the Williams sisters always dominate.

The linesman whatever motivated her is unknown. I too would like to hear an explanation of the kill part. Seems real fishy.

what I saw was expect behavior when passion meets i’m getting screwed or as dave chappelle said when keeping it real goes wrong.

happy grandparent’s day...

Bob said...

Serena wasn't on her A+ game, she was going to lose the match, she was angry at herself. The foot fault was suspect. But tennis crowds everywhere are notoriously fickle toward favorites when an underdog's getting an edge. Clijsters wasn't quite the underdog the media made her.

Field, maybe you can explain why a small nation like Jamaica turns out world class sprinters all out of proportion to the population of island? Seems like there's a few dozen men & women. Usain is just the most famous. He shows up at a meet, the stadium sells out.

Anonymous said...

@La♥Incognita -- Tiger got a reprimand and fine not long ago for saying a judge had made the wrong call. What was messed up about it is that Tiger was pretty much saying that the ref's ruling had hurt his opponent and they were playing a great match-up that should've continued on the way it was. He violated the rules on talking about calls and they fined him. It makes my head spin that you could get fined for sticking up for your opponent. Too many weird rules in Tennis and Golf to keep non-country club types out. They're designed for Buffy and Biff not Jamal and Larry.

John McEnroe v Mikael Pernfors (1990 Australian Open fourth round): Angered by a line-call, McEnroe stopped in front of a lineswoman he thought had made the call and glared at her while bouncing a ball on his racket. Umpire Gerry Armstrong gave McEnroe a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct. Later in the match, McEnroe was sanctioned again for smashing a racket.

Fired up by the second violation, McEnroe swore at the umpire and supervisor. Armstrong went on to announce: "Default Mr. McEnroe. Game, set, match." He was fined $6,500.

ydenise said...

Love tennis, high school MVP, went to state 3 times, only won in mixed doubles, played in college before a motorcycle injury messed up my leg; still play...

I am tired of being nice - Venus and Serena have always been hated on by the tennis establishment - hell, a few years ago, all the White girls got together (except Clijsters) and rooted each other on - against the William sisters...

You never know how racist someone is until you know... when we played, I was always Martina Navratilova and modeled my game after hers, and my serve after John McEnroe's... I cried the year when Navratilova loss at the U.S. Open to Chris Everett Lloyd - for god sakes - and she has made several racist remarks about the sisters; as well as saying that they should play tennis and tennis only... but I knew that that was because most tennis players; still today don't even finish high school; in fact most of them if anything get their GEDs!

I think that some of the older players are a little protective of them and try to not feed into the hype - Pam Shriver, for instance, even John McEnroe in his own off handed way - but for the most part, it is envy and some hatred... they are used to it, and I really don't think that it sticks with them.

They are always looking for the next Great White Hype - and if you cannot get an American any foreigner will do... I think that Sharapova was the only one whose hype was deserving - but she flamed out.

Clijsters was always a very good player, and she and the William sisters have had some good matches, and at one time they practiced together, if I am not mistaken. When all the other players got together and kkk'd on the Williams' she was the only one who stated publicly that she was not going to get involved in that crap; and that she felt that they were great players, and she like them...so - it is what it is.

The William's made American tennis - after Navratilova, Everett, Graf, Sabatini, Lendl, McEnroe...ect, had moved on - there was no one to watch - I used to love Pete Sampras; and even he caught hell because he wasn't flashy enough for some... like Andre Agassi....

If the Williams' sisters are not playing - no one is watching!

All in all Serena got a bad call; and I think that that should be redressed. She is human, she can have a bad night, and she can get angry as hell if she wants. It was a moment and she moved on... why let that stay with you???

Say what you want, but their parents schooled them very good in how to live in America, and persevere...

The Williams sisters get paid off the top just for showing up, first, and I am sure both made tens of thousands on top of that each round they got through, plus they should have the doubles title in the bag and that ain't no chump change, and oh yeah - Serena is not going to pay that fine out of her pocket - they are insured for all of that stuff...

I look at it like this - so what!
They have alot going for them, tennis has given them alot, and hurt them too; but most of all they have given tennis alot...
most times when they face all kinds of racist bullshit thrown at them they hold it in and keep moving... give them a break and let them be human too.

We all know that there is Hypocrisy in America - and those lines are clearly drawn in Black and White.... there are a couple of White Athletes who are charged with rape right now - and we hear nothing????

If Serena was White, her anger, would have been deemed passion.

Sometimes we have to stand back and let it go.

Yvette, sounds like you know your tennis. I am not quite in your class. (4.0 player)but I think I know the game a bit. And that call was terrible. I am not sure what came over the lines judge. And you are right about Clijsters,the irony is that they really do like each other.

Anon 12:54AM, you are right, that did happen at the Australian Open, but again, how did A-merry-cans view McEnroe's behavior?

"Field, maybe you can explain why a small nation like Jamaica turns out world class sprinters all out of proportion to the population of island? Seems like there's a few dozen men & women. Usain is just the most famous. He shows up at a meet, the stadium sells out."

That's easy, we eat lots of roast breadfruit. Just kidding.

Seriously, track and field is huge in Jamaica. We get 40,000 in the national stadium to our high school track championships every year. Most kids want to be on the track team because it can be a meal ticket out, and it carries the most prestige.So our best athletes go out for track.

Some of our great sports heroes, like Donald Quarie and Herb McKinley and Marlene Ottey were track stars, so it's also passed down from generation to generation. If your parents grew up admiring these people you are more than likely going to get into a sport where you can be like them.

Let's call it like it is. Serena was wrong and Kanye needs help.

I have a t-shirt that says on the front - "I am so damn tired!" The back says "I've been black all day!". I can't imagine what Serena faces while dominating a sport that whites have not yet truly welcomed blacks into. Serena and Venus are the modern day Jackie Robinson (modern MLB) or Chuck Cooper ( NBA). Only difference is these old cats had to take shit from white people in fear of their lives - they had no choice. Serena and Venus can lash out with consequences but at least they won't be found lynched somewhere by the KKK. Well, let's hope not. Never can underestimate the hate and bigotry of some people regardless of race.

Serena needs to keep her anger in check. Open up the cans of 'whupass' on the court and shut those haters the fuck up.

Kanye is crazy and need psychological help. White people lashing out using the "N" word on twitter is not called for. Funny how white people just can't wait to use the "N" word. They just sit around waiting for the opportunity use it. Bigot bastards!

Beyonce was obviously a house Negress when she stood up for the white girl later in the show to let her finish her thank you speech. Besides we all know Taylor Swift only won because she was white...she has no talent and Kayne West just pointed out the obvious.

I can understand her losing her temper, but perhaps telling the line person that you are going to take this fucking ball and ram it down fucking your throat is not a wise move. John McEnroe did lose his temper, but he did not physically threaten anyone, and always went to ref whenever he thought there was a bad call. John McEnroe has also apologized for his behavior over the years, and it probably is a good idea for Serena to do the same thing.

Aaannddd here they come with their "black people behaving badly" nonsense....

OK all you anons... for the Men, I guess I can now say "All White Men Are"
Serial Killers: Dahmer, Bundy
Mass Murderers:Colombine, Virginia Tech, almost all school shootings
Terrorists: Oklahoma bombers, Abortion Clinic bombers

And "All White Women Are"
Baby Killers: Susan Smith
Man hating knife wielders: Lorena Bobbitt
Crude Drug Using Entertainers: Courtney Love, Britney Spears, Lyndsey Lohan, Anna Nicole Smith


Do you see how STUPID it is to suggest the behaviors of individuals somehow reflect the attitudes and values of an entire race of people? And finally, one more example:

All white people are assbackward, hood wearin, xenophobic, racist spewing, uneducated, illiterate boobs: Example: You anons and Mr.R. and Frank who is not Frank.

Thankfully, the people that post on this blog are not as stupid as you and know better.

For all you Aldrich Ames's out there looking to gather intell for your perspective race war nation, do take notes. Id like you people* to know that there is no such thing as a "race card". Especially in terms of Stolen Africans in America. You cant screw over millions of people, repeatedly generation after generation and tell them to get over it and that pointing out YOUR faults is wrong, given there has been a strong precedent set. Hell the body of work in that regard is extensive. Lets put it this way if extra terrestrials asked you people* for a resume before joining their world there would be some things on your resume you SHOULD omit.

Black or white, poor or rich, we have become a nation of uncivilized people. As the character on Fat Albert used to say "no class."

Folks chat on their cell phones about the most personal of topics in line at Starbucks and Walmart.

Folks make excuses for their childrens rue and disrespectful behavior in gated communities and "around the way."

The young of every color assault your ears with profanity-laden conversations and/or music whenever you come across them in public spaces.

I for one am sick of it all. Joe Wilson, teabaggers, birthers, Glenn Beck, Michael Jordan, Serena Williams an Kayne West all acted like folks who have absolutely no home training this week. I know someone's mama taught them better. We can disagree w/o violating rules of decorum, respect and proper manners.

For a bunch of suppossed Christians, I see a whole lot of un-Christ type behavior all the time. Too many of us act and live like we are on a reality show called "America's Rudest People" all the time.

And thanks to the internet and satelite television, the entire world gets to see our folks beahving badly all the time.

RES said...

What you need to understand is this:John McEnroe was feeling guilty about himself also. While McEnroe was on Camera, he didn't have must to say.Senera said she was sorry, and life goes on. What most of you don't understand is the Williams sister have a life after tennis.
Problems with us Human is our ego and the willing to face the truth.
Once we understand unconditional love for everyone, things will get alittle better.
Until then:
When you don't have boundaries in your life,people will inject themselves into places in your life where you do not want them, and where they have no business being.
Have boundaries in your personal life so you or I can draw a line in the sand and say, Beyond here I will ot go and you cannot come.
Amen

she takes her game serious...i think this foot fault took a toll bcuz only venus and serena have been accused for this. that made her upset......at a critical point of the match...

Anonymous said...

Sorry, but this is one of your weaker posts. You say that white Americans were cheering on Clijsters instead of the Williams sisters because the Williams are black and angry. Now - it's that the Williamses have dominated women's tennis for almost a decade, and Clisters is just coming back to tennis. Sports fans like a comeback story. By your logic, I should not cheer on Usain Bolt, since he is not an American athlete.

Williams had a bad day. A REALLY bad day - it happens to everyone. Yes, the call was wrong - and the line judge should probably not work a Grand Slam event again. BTW - can we expect Serena to play in other tournaments besides the 4 majors?

When is the O-man gonna have his nigger moment? Matter of fact why are the progressives so quiet? Our nation needs millions of Serena-types to inundate msm and the net with demands for universal health care.
Why no comments here about the ba-zillions of reptilian-brained, loud-mouthed idiots who hide behind the facade of piety? And, where is the nationwide boycott of the sponsors who pay to air the sleaze that issues forth from the mouths of these lizard-lipped, rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth racists?

Remember Arthur Ashe? No one was more classy than he. He was the old school tennis player who was trained to be polite. Since that time Illia (sp) Natase and John McEnroe brought a whole new face to the game. If this was Serena's normal behavior we would have heard about it before now. She lost a match. She'll win more in the future!

Interesting trend I'm seeing field, maine...some tacky ass S.C. rep. blurts out his butt like some spastic retarded child in class and gets hailed a hero and is admonished and supported... then another two black athletes who get treated badly besides
Michael Jordan are Venus and Serena Williams.

Why is that they have won almost twenty grandslams (MAJOR tennis tournaments) combined, yet the white, blonde Maria Sharapova is the highest paid female athlete- $25 million+ a year from advertisers- for winning two and flopping for the past two years?

THEN Kanye exercises his first amendment rights albeit in a most unceremonious way, and every (lord help me ) ritz goes wild and drops the 'N' bomb. We know that's white peoples magic word when they get angry @ someone black…you know they are going to pull it out their hat…because it’s always under the surface… see first poster for reference

Our women are not worthless our men are not either...the worth of this entire damned country is measured by negro sweat, as noted and acknowledged by the Germans, the French.. all of the western diaspora..Well, this was predictable. . .The backlash continues. I also note that this is the *U.S.* Open..I don't recall them getting penlised so hard any place else..sure she's had her moments, shes yelled and talked shit to the crowd to the refs..but we see this on the football fields and other sports and we don't want to go into hockey where its okay for two drunk white guys slugging the shit out of each other and its egged on...smdh...doubles..yes..double standard.

I think the Williams sisters are what any good athlete is, competitive, passionate for their game, do i think they should be penalized. No..and there was even talk of them being banned...*lol* somebody I would say is scared... its the same shit Jessie Owens endured and why Joe Louis was so betrayed by amerikkka as renowed around the world as he was...it seems that no matter how good we are we can always count on the sweet land of liberty to discount us for what we're really worth..which in the end only makes a good person even better...

interesting trend indeed.

my guess would be that they have no clue of what home training even is!

But you all seem to have at least one black friend that you never really get involved with and think that Will Smith is hoot and would totally grab lakeesha's ass if no one else were to ever ever know about it! So that would mean you qualify to tell me what 'black behavior' is all about though..i forgot.LOL!

This whole thing is pissing me off. I have yet to hear an announcer say a foot fault is rarely called in such a situation. 15-30, match point, and a foot fault is called thats crazy. Its almost like ending a basketball game on a reach in foul call.

The press is acting like Williams is crazy for her reaction. She went over the top with it but there is a reason behind it. The way they're covering the story it looks like Black girl went crazy for no reason. They are not giving the entire story.

toolooselatrec said...

As a long time tennis player (high school singles champion, collegiate all-american, and California USTA 35+ champ), I can truly say that tennis is not the "gentleman" sport that all profess. I won't go into the behavior of past players as some folks here have already pointed them out...but I can attest to the ugly and hateful words, treatment...and subtle racism that Serena and Venus have have had to endure on the tour. I've work many times as an official at PTA and USTA tournaments and recall when that little primadonna bitch Martina Hingis got her ass kick by Venus early in her career. Well, one match, in the locker room Martina made some very derisive and racist comments about the Williams, who were beginning their rise on the circuit.

She said that regardless of their talent..."they were still ugly and looked like black monkeys". This was never reported in the media nor was it ever addressed on the tour...nor was Hingis fined for her racist comments.

It is well known that many of the white female (i.e., American...Russian...Czech, etc.) players frequently "hated" on the Williams sisters and the tour has done it's part by ignoring Serena's recent reign in tennis by refusing to recognize her as the number one player...even though it's obvious to EVERYONE who plays the game admits this.

Dinara Safina was the #1 ranked woman when the US Open began...but she has NEVER WON ONE GRAND SLAM event ever...but she #1?...GTFOH

Serena on the other hand has won 3 Grand Slam events THIS YEAR...WTF!

Insofar as her recent behavior on the court...I personally wished she could have held it in, comeback and made history...but sometimes in pressure-packed situations, we don't always make the best decisions...that's called being human.

Serena, you're a beautiful black queen..there are folks who REALLY love the game and appreciate your enormous talent and what you and Venus have brought to the game.

SHO NUFF...YA DIG!

I don't know what a foot fault is, but it does seem like the whole game was just a set up to bring back Kim Clijsters, who really didn't win the game, although the linked article said it was an accomplishment for her.

Not long ago, I told a white man in a business suit and briefcase with a very important job, that he had to pay an additional amount of money, he didn't think it was fair, but when I explained to him why he had to pay three dollars more, he took out some money, and said, "You can suck me too, take out another twenty."

For good reason, it was an unsubstantiated rumor started by black Williams supporters who wanted to get her disqualified by drumming up false accusations of racism. It was never addressed in the media BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.


"It is well known that many of the white female (i.e., American...Russian...Czech, etc.) players frequently "hated" on the Williams sisters"

Who is it "well known" by? Race card playing blacks who look for disses were there were none? Just a bunch of black people trying desperately to cry racism and are searching for any kernel of evidence it may exist.

I love tennis, but I am a lousy 3.0 player at 53 yrs. old because I was a Jehovah's Witness most of my life. The forty years I was in this cult they didn't encourage participation in sports little less being a professional athelite.

I am no longer a JW, but I admit it makes me angry when I see that the Williams sisters are able to claim they are Jehovah's Witnesses AND show up with boyfriends that are rap stars no less. I am curious to see how the JW cult will respond to Serena's outburst. I know any regular JW would be "publicly reproved" for such an outburst...let's see if the richest Jehovah's Witness can get away with it.

blackandanonymous said...

Anon...

I can't say whether Hingis did or didn't say that ugly racist shit but here's something from the NY Times March 30, 2001 that would indicate that something was occurring on the tour between the Williams sisters and other players...if you want to find the article, I'm sure you can google it.

"Martina Hingis, the number one seeded woman tennis player in the world, labeled Richard Williams' allegations of racism "total nonsense." She stated in an outrageous comment, "I definitely don't feel like there is any racism on the Tour. I mean, it's a very international sport ... they may be black but they have a lot of other--how do you say?--advantages to be where they are. They can always say it's racism or something like that..."

Hingis went on to say that because she is Swiss, she could also say she is a "victim" of racism, since she was surrounded by U.S. citizens during the tour. This statement was so incredibly ridiculous that even some of the press dismissed her statements as being "naive and silly."

From my perspective, these statements made by Hingis are profoundly racist and pretty fucking ignorant, whether said consciously or unconsciously.

Whenever one of the Williams sisters defeated Hingis, she always made comments about their physical attributes..."physical prowess" as opposed to intelligence, knowledge of the game and court strategy. These kinds of statements are commonplace among white sports reporters, coaches and athletes whenever any black athlete excels in a sport...particularly in where whites largely dominate it.

This was the tournament that Hingis alledgedly made those remarks...and the where the NY Times interviewed Richard Williams regarding the harassment and racism that his daughters had to endure. I would also suggest looking up the Indian Wells incident and Justin Heine-Hardenn regarding racist incidents that the Williams sisters have endured.

And btw...if you hate black folks so much..why hang out here?

also, you do make claims that the media loves Obama, i don't feel that way at all, the Wall Street Journal was taken over recently, it's more like a fake news rag now, and even seemingly benign stories or articles in the MSM actually are reinforcing the right wing point of view. Even a cartoon I saw today about Obama, it was about him being a communist, and seemed to be making fun of the right, but if you look at the cartoon, it's almost as if President Obama has Communist China written on his face. It really struck me that way. Images have a very powerful effect on the mind.
Communism, marxism, nazism, these all create strong images of fear in many people. That is intentional, no?
Also, the article about Glen Beck that I read today just seemed to make his outrageous assertions seem like trivia. It's not trivia.

It's not something to be cavalier about, imo

all of those slurs that rush l and his ilk spew daily are WORKING as they distract you and your mindless blinded peers from the fact that obama is an ELITIST...

many other racists and fools are also distracted...including many tea partiers

"bailouts
auto co buys
aig scams
"health reform"
bio hoaxes"

"bailouts" began pre-election, remember, McCain ran home to get some rest? um I mean to work on the world economy crash?

auto co. buys,
that supposed to help with polution, get rid of the older gas guzzlers.

aig scams, you kiddn me right? aig was scamming pre-election, and you keep forgetting that the stock market crashed due to derivatives, that all big corporations invested in, and i actually believe Warren Buffet was --- well, I don't want to say what I really think, except I watched him blatently LIE about the employee free choice act.

health reform? that makes no sense to not want health reform unless you are one of the corporations thats stealing from the public and letting people and their children get sick and die. the death panel crap was made up by people like Palin, health insurance companies already are death panels.

bio hoaxes, no, that is a Glen Beck style hoax, no need to even address that silly ass claim.

blackandanonymous:
""Martina Hingis, the number one seeded woman tennis player in the world, labeled Richard Williams' allegations of racism "total nonsense." She stated in an outrageous comment, "I definitely don't feel like there is any racism on the Tour. I mean, it's a very international sport ... they may be black but they have a lot of other--how do you say?--advantages to be where they are. They can always say it's racism or something like that..."

Hingis went on to say that because she is Swiss, she could also say she is a "victim" of racism, since she was surrounded by U.S. citizens during the tour. This statement was so incredibly ridiculous that even some of the press dismissed her statements as being "naive and silly."

katty:

wake up!

President Barack Obama/GWB 2.0’s blatant lies were FAR more offensive than Wilson’s hateful outburst. Governments should NEVER own or control banks, auto companies, new car dealerships, or medical insurance. Obama’s “health reform plan” is only a permanent stimulus plan for medical corporations. It will degrade health care quality and increase costs for all privately insured citizens by enticing employers to dump them into cheaper medical options. The exorbitant costs of prescription drugs will soar to become even more oppressive. Millions of poor people will be excluded and forgotten, as no public option was ever an actual component of this elaborate medical hoax...

Alicia Banks...I agree, Common is fine! That's why I was wondering how Serena can "date" someone like that when ANY OTHER Jehovah's witness would have their name read off from the platform as a "fornicator" in front of the whole congregation for something as stupid as "heavy petting".

I understand this is minor to most people, I just cringe every time Serena thanks Jehovah. Religion is all bullshit to me, but if you claim to be of a certain religion then at least live up to the code. I did for over forty years and it made me a bitter old woman that plays terrible tennis...lol.

Now, now, now. ROGER FEDERER also threw some temper tantrums. Let see how people react to this versus that of serena williams.

It should be interesting....

It seem strange that, these two young Black People just exploded! these young people watch the new's they know INJUSTICE when they see it.

Kenya West saw this as a Racial thing, Yes, he should kept his cool, but, young Black kid's have never been exposed to what is going on today, they know about the Civil Right's Movement, but, it is 2009 and they have been Forced to watch a Black President, being Dehumanized on a daily basis!

Serena and Kenya may be Wealthy but, they are still African American's, what Kenya West did was Weird! I guess that was his way of saying (I AM SICK OF YOU WHITE PEOPLE and your MESS)think about it.

Serena looked out of character for saying what she did, these young people have a breaking point! they are the next Generation and they see and hear what is going on around them, as far as Racism is concerned!

Kenya West will pay a price for what he did, and I hate that too, it look's bad for him to be standing beside that White girl, he look's like a ANGRY BLACK man, and she look's like a POOR innocent White girl, I hate this had to happen! someone should have a long long talk with KENYA!

Yep, I heard the stories about the women's tour and the "hateration" for the Willliams girls as well.

Update! The Aregentinian,Del Potro, just took out Federer in the Open. And let's see now...yep the crowd was behind Federer, not the under-dog.

"But you all seem to have at least one black friend that you never really get involved with and think that Will Smith is hoot and would totally grab lakeesha's ass if no one else were to ever ever know about it!

"I can't say whether Hingis did or didn't say that ugly racist shit but here's something from the NY Times March 30, 2001 that would indicate that something was occurring on the tour between the Williams sisters and other players"

But you assume that it is the fault of the white players without any evidence or scrutiny of the William sister's behavior.



...if you want to find the article, I'm sure you can google it.



"Hingis went on to say that because she is Swiss, she could also say she is a "victim" of racism, since she was surrounded by U.S. citizens during the tour. This statement was so incredibly ridiculous that even some of the press dismissed her statements as being "naive and silly.""

Some of the press said her statments were silly and naive... others backed her up. Again, she had a very valid point. And even if her comments were silly and/or naive that is not the same as racist.


"From my perspective, these statements made by Hingis are profoundly racist and pretty fucking ignorant, whether said consciously or unconsciously."

From my perspective your statements are profoundly racist and pretty fucking ignorant, whether said consciously or unconsciously.

"Whenever one of the Williams sisters defeated Hingis, she always made comments about their physical attributes..."physical prowess" as opposed to intelligence, knowledge of the game and court strategy."

Jesus f-ing Christ. Now you are REALLY trying to hard. In order to prove racism you would have to show that there was a pattern of her making comments about black players that were belittling. You didn't. Maybe she didn't think they were particularly intelligent players or had great strategy. So what. You have shown no pattern of behaving towards a lot of black people one way, and a lot of while people another. Calling her racist cause she didn't go overboard praising these two people's intellects is insane. The hoops you demand people jump through. Damn, she's not your house negro, just sayin!

Hey didn't Tiger Woods too get into trouble of some sort recently?
I chalk it up to anger.

I have alwasy seen Serena as the less emotionally mature one. Those girls endure alot so this kind of reaction to me has been long over due.
If she intends to continue her career, she needs to find a way of getting a handle on her justified anger.

My experience in America so far is that when they want to get rid of you they will exploit your anger in so many different ways. They know its there and its a matter of time before you explode. And once you do, it gives them the perfect opportunity.
So know your anger and take control of it.

Like you field I'm not much of a tennis fan, but I seem to remember that McEnroe was also penalized for his behavior.

I don't care whether they're black or white: I've pretty much had it with "outbursts" of this kind from our overpaid, over-pampered, over-privileged, over-indulged celebrities.

If they can't handle the injustice of a bad call by a referee, then give them a few years in a real job somewhere. Who the hell do these people think they are, anyway?

The problem is that very few Blacks can control their anger. It's not Whites who are exploiting the anger of Blacks. It's anger itself that is exploiting Blacks.

"I know she was having flash backs of her youth in Compton and being shaded in the neighborhood grocery store (think about it) but going South Central on that line-judge only gave casual tennis fans reason to buy into stereotypes. "

LMAO. This is hilarious, but probably true.
It's also sad that as blacks, we are seen as the Threateners, so we always have to "watch" -- meaning desist -- what we say (even when we are only reacting to some horse sh!t in a way that any other person would react to horse sh!t). @ Anon who commented before me, black folks don't get any more angry than white folks when it's warranted. The stuff is just perceived/treated differently just because of stereotypes.
Why should I have to calm down when you've clearly done something that's wrong at MY expense? And you won't even apologize. But I have to apologize for being pissed. Bullsh!t. White ppl just need to admit that they aren't fair when it comes to that stuff.

Vérité Parlant said...

I don't recall people thinking McEnroe was cute, but I do think the people blasting Serena have forgotten McEnroe's history in favor of the black people are so angry nonsense.

IF THERE WAS NO FOOT FAULT, THERE WAS NO FOOT FAULT! WHY HAS THE JUDGEMENT OF THIS LINESMAN NOT BEEN BROUGHT INTO QUESTION! DONALD TRUMP WAS THERE. HE WITNESSED IT ALL. HE QUESTIONS WHY SERENA IS APOLIGIZING. SO DO I. THERE WAS NO FOOT FAULT....I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS MOMENT IN SPORTS HISTORY! Serena should look into suing for mental duress and lost income.

C line man said...

lemme say i think it high time the Williams got some spine into their game and came BLACK at them.. the line judge is/was racist... hence, the bad calls to evoke Serena's ire and that was justify...had it been me [in the body of Blake] a racket and a 95.0 mph bright green ball would have been at the judges head.. and for the record, Serena is still US Open champ for women since Clijsters did win on game playing, she won on judge match fixing. That aint win... so how much did this line judge make in the outside betting pools i wonder? Messing up a player serve is a big no no in tennis, you muck up their entire game and concentrate and strategy. I hope to see Serena meet the C-blink in Roland Garros and shove aces down her throat to the point that she goes right back to where Henni is retired from fear of black strength.

Whose cares about a damn fine...write if off i say
