Venus Williams' Father Checks Interviewer During Childhood Interview

[Higher Tech]

Powerful. Much respect for that.

How was that a trick question?

Can you not tell from the way the interviewer kept repeating confidence? He was trying to lead the questions into arrogance and I don't think a girl at that age would of picked that up by the way she innocently answered that. The father even mentioned as such in the interview.

You have to understand the subtleties of what's going on. If you are unaware you can miss the interviewers' tactics, but daddy didn't. Fine line between confidence and arrogance and the interviewer was attempting to push her toward a side that would shine her in a bad light - the arrogant light which would have drawn ire. Pops saw it, and put a stop to it. Good one.

Yep

Richard did that so they wouldn't have to go through that

Tired of these bigots trying to find fault in young black athletes having aspirations. They pervert confidence into arrogance as if we are to be meek people at all times. Look at the hoopla over Geno expecting to be a top 5 qb.

"Don't have expectations for yourself, negro."

We need more black parents refusing to allow the world to strip our children of their expectations. I feel Richard being protective over it

 

[Marciano]

Look at the C.acs & C.oons coming to cape & say Venus' father was doing the most or he's the angry black man.

No, what her father was doing was protecting his daughter from them C.acs that try to break our confidence because they'll start to feel inferior

"When she say something, we done told you what's happening"



All Black men need to be like that for their kids

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Wack. She could handle herself.

Yes she could, and she was, cuz daddy taught her well. But that's not the point.

She wasn't going to be there to "handle" anything when that video was edited up and served as 'Venus, the arrogant 14 year old phenom.'

Dude needed to be checked and daddy was the proper one to do the checking, not a 14 year old girl.

 

[Numpsay]

I this shyt.

 

[SanchoPanda]

Wack. She could handle herself.

She's a kid bro. I would do the same for my nephews it's what your suppose to do as a parent.

The fatherless dont understand this. That is his job as a parent to keep then safe from that bullshyt.

 

[MikelArteta]

Ain't Richard a new daddy?

 

[AkaDemiK]

to pops

 

[NYC Rebel]

at this example.

I had a discussion about it with a beat writer. Dude can't have expectations for himself? It's a trend in how blacks are treated.

Good for her dad. That reporter was trying to be slick with it.

Her dad recognized what that reporter was trying to do, and put a stop to that shyt. Wonderful father.
