Still, I am going to take a guess and say it depends on how many females are in the family. More females; more accepting of the gay family member, and less accepting of the interacial marriage. More males, and we flip the script. <BR/><BR/>Chris, I am not sure who the USTA used as their PR firm. But black or white, they should be fired today!field negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411743587725023134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-61415151021218450812007-09-02T12:08:00.000-04:002007-09-02T12:08:00.000-04:00Field I don't know what part of the country the st...Field I don't know what part of the country the state of Venusandserena will be in, but that's the state I want to live in, if I ever come back to the United States at all. California would be a natural, since Venus and Serena were born there. But, Florida would make sense too, since that's where we they live now.<BR/><BR/>Even better would be too rename one of the states that has a horrible name now and that desperately NEEDS a new name. You know what states those are. :)<BR/><BR/>On a different tip, what do you suppose engenders more controversy in a Black family? Being gay or marrying a white woman?

Yep, silence. Most of these fools probably don't even know who Althea Gibson was. As for the USTA--they are racist scum. But in keeping with my defense of Jason Whitlock, if someone told me they subcontracted event planning to some black PR firm run by somebody who hobnobs with whitey or is a friend of a friend of some black muckty-muck who is also in the elite, USTA awarded the contract, and that firm messed it up, it wouldn't shock or surprise me...<BR/><BR/>HollaChristopher Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981041389119024155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-51032035129089390832007-09-02T11:31:00.000-04:002007-09-02T11:31:00.000-04:00A good friend is attending the Open this weekend. ...A good friend is attending the Open this weekend.

The reporter who covered the story is Annette John-Hall. (Sorry, I should have linked her in my post)Anyway,I also know a couple of people who volunteer over there (The Center) who told me about what the USTA did to these kids as well. <BR/><BR/>The USTA said it was because they didn't expect the response they got from other people invovled. They also said they would mention the center and give away free tickets to some of the kids as an act of contrition. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I know a thing or two about the USTA. I play tennis myself (4.5 rated for those of you who know about such things) and the USTA does not have a very good history. So frankly, I wasn't as surprised as the rest of you at their actions.field negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411743587725023134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-87581790810914004032007-09-02T01:11:00.000-04:002007-09-02T01:11:00.000-04:00Field,What a pathetic story.

Venus and Serena Williams are talented and superior on the court, they're smart and they are sexy! I remember exactly where I was when Venus (I think it was Venus) won at Flushing Meadows in 1998. I was standing in a New Jersey diner, jumping up and down and clapping at the television with tears in my eyes. That was a first for me.<BR/><BR/>I once paid an absurd amount of money (about $150.00) for two tickets to see Venus play in Nice, France, which was unfortunately anti-climactic. I think they should rename a state in their honor: "VenusandSerena."Francis Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862777385923656061noreply@blogger.com
