Comments on: Venus and Serena’s dad is a tad racist http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/2008/03/20/venus-and-serenas-dad-is-a-tad-racist/ World's Best Football Gossip | Transfer Rumours | Premier League News | WAGs | Celebrity Footballers Wed, 23 May 2012 14:57:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: akan http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/2008/03/20/venus-and-serenas-dad-is-a-tad-racist/#comment-7150 akan Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:35:33 +0000 http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/index.php/2008/03/20/venus-and-serenas-dad-is-a-tad-racist#comment-7150 It does not take much for any human being to feel superior to another (how ironic that we are equal in that measure). White people have been told for many centuries that they are superior, do you think that humans change over night. We still live in a world were people of African descent are regarded as inferior by many including themselves. . Racism is like radiation residue remains. Take a good look around the world, we humans love to cling to the notion that we are superior to each other. What is it with people with partners from other cultures (we all belong to the same race) are you foolish enough to think that some how you or your children are less incline to be racist. Please give me a break. It does not take much for any human being to feel superior to another (how ironic that we are equal in that measure).

In 1990, when Martina Navratilova beat Zina Garrison (a black woman) at Wimbledon, Richard Williams said that one day Serena or Venus would win more Wimbledon titles than Martina's 9. Hasn't happened. Richard Williams was racist from the beginning.

A select few people are racist why should racial segregation exist when its just the minority supporting it? really? his daughters were on the front and back page of every paper when they won wimbledon... whats racist about that? come on now and realise this is a new era, the majority of us dont care what colour the skin is. i am being honest with myself, it’s the one dimensional views of people like him and yourself that keep this world racist.

When Venus and Serena came into the tennis world. White People hated them, not all but most. They have had to take abuse from white fans and players. Yes, it some ways it has lighten up, but the prejudice will always be there. I could not watch Venus or Serena play when Chris or Tracy was the commentators not without mute on. People the abuse that his daughters have had to take, shouldn't he feel the way he does, why, because them is his daughters. Stop pretending as though what he said is not true, how much of it is still true........ Be honest with yourself... Richard Williams did not tell a lie.

How wonderful they must find it to have such an arsehole not only as their manager but also as someone who would claim to have brought them up. I like Serena and Venus and have serious worries as to how they turned out so seemingly well adjusted with that as a father not only is he a prick but he seems to have no realisation that some people take what he says as the views of his daughters.
