Every bad take about Serena Williams is rooted in colorism and misogynoir. This has remained true since she defied people's expectations on the tennis court.

Well, when she was forced to apologize for being Black, at the Olympics, I thought that was gross. Because, let's face it. It wasn't the crip walk. It's because she was being happy, while Black.
I saw her dance, at the halftime, and I laughed my (yt) ass off! Didn't watch game. Loved the show!
I have been protective of Serena and Venus since they were little girls being made fun of for beads in their hair and the fact that people still shit on them to this day makes me want to become the Joker
I grew up with someone who was in the faith. Her older sister left the church
Unfortunately, she died from COVID 4 years ago because she refused to get the monoclonal antibodies and tried to deal with the virus herself. I don't pretend to understand the strength of their commitment to the church.
Serena and Venus are THE GOATS. I remember when they first came up in tennis and everyone was so racist and classist about them.
Kevin Durand at NPR once said they ruined tennis bc all championships were Venus vs Serena. If that were a white guy it’d be “what a fantastic record! What a family!”
I never realized how bad it was until I saw the backlash from the halftime show. Granted I didn’t know the extent of racism until I lived in SC for 7 yrs & I was 50 before I heard the name Emmett Till. It’s truly mind blowing this is our country. I really had no idea. I know now & I won’t be quiet.

A lot of people would rather be broke than admit they're riding on a Black woman's coat tails.

It's always the same stuff and it's so freaking lazy.
breaking sportswoman,
beautiful family and what appears to be a happy marriage. Could it be ENVY?
