Aaron - maybe I can be more plain --- it seems like unless the "N" word is used, so many White people refuse to realize that the situation was racist, racially motivated, racially anchored to something that resides in the head of almost all European American - something that has been drilled into their subsconcious from birth. Some are able to be as fair as possible and have been helpful to the movement towards equality for Blacks (all non- Whites).
Eg. As great friends and fair people that Mr. Peloquin and Eric are, I sometimes explain things to them. The wonderful appreaciation that they have for fairness shows in their immediate understanding when I identify things that they instantly get it - and that is one of the reasons that I appreciate their friendship!!
And no Tony, I am not at all surprised. I was just still hoping to chip away at the denial crust of Whites regarding Racism.

I am not understanding your point but racism is every where but you do not have to use the N word.
These is only due to Paula Deen use of the N word but note this I respect her over individuals who smile in your face and then call you all types of name behind your back

Good Afternoon,I just wanted to share -- imagine the comments about Serena. No use of the "N" word but of course some folks will still deny that some of the comments don't anchor on racism.Just look at the tweets/comments below about Serena Williams and tell me if Some White Folks just don't understand their Anchors to Racism, their Racist attitude towards lots of things and that some Whites are just silent Racist people who were raised by Racist parents who were raised by their Racist Grandparents, etc. Tell me what Ethnic Group is making which Comments!!!ozrocco 5pts9 hours agoLikeReplyJust watched a replay of the match (only because I enjoyed it so much the first time). Lisicki made the thug look like a cow on roller skates in that their set. And like another poster pointed out, Williams really does look like Mike Tyson's long lost sister.
AllSports 5pts12 hours agoLikeReplyDo they test for steroids in tennis... The Williams sisters are poster Children for Steriods!!!!!!!
BrushWithDeathToothpaste 5pts13 hours agoLikeReplyMust've forgotten to buy the steroid flavoured Cheerios.
Great fortnight in sports: Chicago wins the Cup, Kenseth wins while Johnson pouts and whines like a cry-baby (what else is new?) and this stack of grunts loses to a "mediocre" player, albeit one ranked higher than millions of other tennis players.
hevymetlfan 5pts15 hours ago1''I mean, every time I step out on the court, I'm the favorite." Just a teeny bit arrogant, don't you think?
I'd say there's not an ounce of humility in her, but from what I can see, there's lots of ounces to go around, som maybe it IS in there... somewhere....hidden behind the 'roids.

Italian_Stallion70 5pts17 hours ago1Monica Seles will always be the greatest women's player anyway. Okay, her talent wasn't quite as good as Serena, but she was still dominant during her time. Had she not been stabbed by that idiot, she would have been truly great.

MtnOzark123 5pts4 hours agoLikeReply@Italian_Stallion70 What? "her talent wasn't quite as good as Serena", you got that right. Seles had WAY more talent than Serena. A much better return of serve, a much better back hand, and certainly more of a killer instinct. She was stabbed at age 19, if that would not have happened she would have been the greatest ever, she had already won 8 slams and was ranked number 1 for nearly 2 years when the tragedy happened. How many slams did Serena win by age 19???
Italian_Stallion70 5pts17 hours agoSo much for all the experts picking a Serena-Sharapova final. They're both out. Thank goodness!
LikeReplyunfilteredthinker 5pts19 hours agoLikeReplyEvery once in awhile a big strong girl beats serena. Lisicki certainly qualifies as strong. Lisicki has the fastest women's recorded serve on record at 130 mph. Lisicki and serena both have birthdays in september. Serena will be 32 and Lisicki 24.

Actually, like any NORMAL guy, Tiger couldn't get drunk enough to get anywhere NEAR Serena. Arrogance and obesity just aren't attractive.

tafnut 5pts19 hours agoLikeReplyFor all the upsets, in the men's draw, the #1, 2, 4 and 7 seeds are still in it. The women's draw is a little different, with only #4, 6 and 8 left out of the Top 10. Although it barely got mentioned, #6 Li crushed #11 Vinci, 2 and love.
tafnut 5pts20 hours ago1Serena Williams loses, and there is a photo and two videos of Sharapova. I thought Sabine Lisicki beat Williams.
LilbitgotU 5pts19 hours agoLikeReplyWell you know how the mainstream media would love to have Sharapova as the face of Woman's Tennis but unfortunately for them she's just another above average player. I just hope Sabine Lisicki isn't a "one and done" type player with her win over Serena being the highlight of her career.
donniek 5pts20 hours ago1Keeping her BIG mouth shut is improbable and just like her "ginormous opra-like" rear end her ego keeps growing along with arrogance
billybusker 5pts20 hours ago1Andy Murray should play Sabine Lisicki instead of Serena Williams I think. He might get more of a game!. Lisicki was great today and deservedly won. If only Williams had shown the class to acknowledge that too.
LilbitgotU 5pts19 hours ago1Did you even listen to the post game interview? Serena gave Sabine major props for beating her and not once during the interview did she make an excuse for getting beat. To not like Serena is one thing but to post idiotic comments on something that's not true, make you "classless" and your whole post irrelevant.

Freemale221g 5pts20 hours ago1It couldn't possibly be because she was beaten by a superior player, no there has to be some excuse as usual. Like she had a bad day, give me a break why can't the media say something good about her opponent instead of making excuses for Serena.
It is obvious that Serena is using performance enhancing drugs which is why it is so good to see her lose.
jack2323 5pts20 hours ago
4I don't care what color she is. She's always been a poor sport. Venus a good sport. Serena and her disgusting racist mom are the worst. She has never once said good game, you beat me. And quite frankly, there's not one feminie part of her that's remotely attractive.

deAugustino 5pts20 hours ago2Common folks just because a successful athlete is rather muscular or big doesn't steroids. I can see it 'now' in a few yrs..when the young Lady record breaker of Women Golf, is worn out her 'youthful presence' ...all you 'Sarenna critiques' will start calling Inbee Park, women's young Golfing sensation, a 'steroid user'. Even previously hefty Rick Fowler..looks more athletic nowadays..so I'm sure young Ms. Park will too 'in time'. Sarenna will 'return in TOP FORM in due time'...!!

ff1212 5pts20 hours agoLikeReply@rqb2001 @whatever.com It's called circumstantial evidence based not only on her physique, but more importantly at fleeing a tester when asked to take one at her home. She said she thought the person was a burglar. Fact. She did not deny the story. Look it up, if you're interested.
ff1212 5pts20 hours agoLikeReply@whatever.com They tried. When they came to her door, she fled, saying that she thought that it was a burglar. True story, it's on the net. No fiction.
deAugustino 5pts21 hours agoLikeReplyWell in the long history of Tennis..due the Court condition differences with Wimbledon and the French Open or US Open..., one being in Clay and the other on Grass.. "Most of Time' ...different winners dominate on certain Courts. It has always been a 'given fact'. It's rare that Winners to breeze to victories on both events....Sarenna "has indeed achieved it in the past".. So obviously the Expectation was for Victory to happen this time...However, to say sarenna was bothered by any distractions culminating from a Media bickering between her and one of her rivals, Maria Sharapova....could be a 'Strategy' that the Sharapova camp wanted to 'test'. Luckily for them....it worked....so the Tennis Queen is gone, or as some in Sharapova camp would say...'the __itch is' gone (fill in the blank...depending how Vulgar "Sharapovites" are). SARENNA is still queen in My Book!!! Many Baseball & NFL & PGA experts know that Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Tony Gwynn, Johnny Unitas, and Jack nicklaus didn't win every Batting Title, or Passing Title, or Golfing Title during the 'prime yrs.' either.

HowAboutDat 5pts19 hours ago1@bigmlbfan You, Sir, are a liar and a mean one at that. If you think that you need to lie about something like that, it means that you know that the truth would not help your cause. It has now become ABUNDANTLY clear to me that you just hate Serena; and I'll guess that the reason is because of her race. I'll admit that it makes me sad that in the 21st Century black people still have to deal with such nastiness. When will the rest of the world become civilized enough to treat us with even a modicum of respect?
tafnut 5pts19 hours agoLikeReply@HowAboutDat @bigmlbfan That quote was in the above article, or didn't you bother to read the article? But I agree with you - anyone who dislikes Serena must be a bigot. I mean, what other possible reason could there be for not being a fan of such a wonderful, classy athlete?
HowAboutDat 5pts19 hours ago1@tafnut I did bother to read the article, Sir/Madam but what's more I listened to the live interview. The bigbmlbfan showed his/her utter disregard for reality/fairness when he/she chos to ignore the fact that what was expressed in the article could never be all that was said by Ms Williams. I admit that the writer of the article had his own agenda - mainly to incite comments like bigmlbfan's - but I sincerely believe that even if he/she had put everything that Serena had said into the article, the fanatic would have found something negative to say anyway. For the record: Serena heaped - as she should have - praises on Sabine. Ms. Williams said that she knew coming in that Sabine is a "good grass court player" and a "great player" in general and "always a threat, especially on grass" and that she would be "difficult to beat on her best surface (grass)."
tafnut 5pts18 hours agoLikeReply@HowAboutDat @tafnut If Serena's post-match interview was what you say it was, and I do not dispute that, then good for her. However, I do resent when posters on these threads play the race card. I am not a fan of Serena. Obviously, I do not know her personally, but it is her on-court behavior, and various and numerous comments I have witnessed over the years that make me dislike her. For the record, I am not a much of a Sharapova fan. And, as I posted elsewhere in this thread, I like the underdogs.
steagles67 5pts19 hours agoLikeReply@HowAboutDat @bigmlbfan Serena never says anything good about her opponent. She was outplayed today. If you make Serena move around and get her to three sets, she can be beat.
HowAboutDat 5pts19 hours ago1@steagles67 @HowAboutDat @bigmlbfan Please see my response to the nut.
HowAboutDat 5pts19 hours agoIt's ironic that (after Serena had dropped the first set and had come back to win in three) one of your co-haters had said that Serena needs to have three sets in order for the PEDS to kick in. Interesting how the story varies in order to suit what ever purpose you haters want the "truth" to be.
