I love Serena's reputation and her achievements, but it would be nice to see such vigilance on "our" Black Civil Rights history and the people who are misplaced in it or missing from it altogether.
M. L. King Jr is in the wrong place in "our" history; he was killed in Mobile, Alabama. Not Memphis, Tennessee.
Dr. Arthur Green Gaston is totally missing from "our" history in his true guise; he was the C.R. leader and financier; ML King Jr was his protege and the spokesperson for the C.R. Movement.
He was good at beating these girls
To greatest of all times. We love you Serena. We will miss you and your sister.
You are a Queen. You have made me proud as a black women. Watching you gives me hope in my endeavors.
gawd…she is so buff.
she will lose her next match
Pitiful use of diamonds, when so many of her fellow citizens are in need
We 💕 You Serena Williams 👑😠💞💜
Why is that dude wearing a dress. They're taking these pronouns a bit too far. He shouldn't be allowed to compete against women until he progresses further with his estrogen therapy either, crazy world we live in now days.
She had every right to call them out.
Wow !!! One of the most accomplished Athlete of all TIME!!!!
Go Queen 👸 SerenaðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂ
Same here! I want her to retire gracefully and no matter what happened, she will do us the honour, win or lose.
The Williams were never black people. Just people. And you can be just people also. Lay down your racism and forgive.
Her father saw it all.. two talented daughters. But one could not stand being #2 to anyone. Her sister and father and mother helped Serena own the fire ðŸâ€Â¥ðŸâ€Â¥ðŸâ€ÂÂ¥.
Serena is certainly colorful, strong, so talented in many ways and no bore ….
22 YEARS … + 🖤💛🧡
Serena and Venus are the reason I, a brown girl, started playing tennis. She deserves all of the applause. #GOAT
