@Alma_074@christianscourt What the fuck are you talking about? Nobody mentioned race. If you wanna have that convo tho, Serena and Venus are a huge reason why we see more black girls in tennis now. And also Serena is literally her idol, so yeah we wanna see them play doubles.
@tempel_kristian@SeeRacists Seriously go play in traffic. He never pointed a gun at the son, he tripped and a gun fell out, and then he was shot in his back. And he didn’t even steal the bottle which still wouldn’t have justified this. Stop bootlicking. Nothing worse than a racist who won’t admit it
@WhisperTechno@StreetFashion01 And she’s climbing her way back and finding her form. Coming back from pregnancy is not easy and very few women have done it and were able to flourish afterwards. Serena, for example, is the exception not the standard.
@WhisperTechno@StreetFashion01 The way you framed was trying to downplay her saying she fell from 1 to 15. That’s not what happened. She had a child and took time off the sport, you down just retain your ranking when you come back from a long break in tennis. She had to start again being outside the top 500
Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”
