Venus Williams' Father Checks Interviewer During Childhood Interview

[GetInTheTruck]

that was stupid, sorry.

Didn't watch....But at 14 you know to attribute confidence to hard work & practice. But she probably would not pick up on the racial undertones from an adult.

But stepping in is to tell ya child I got your back and will buck. It shows support to your children more than just calling out interviewer.

In that sense I guess you're right. I watched it again and the interviewer did seem like he had an obnoxious angle to his questioning, I guess her pops just had enough based on past interviews.

nikkas here don't seem to remember the racist shyt the Williams sisters had to deal with from 1996 to mid-2000s.
It wasn't just the journalists, but also the players and crowds that hated them (even american ones). After the racist treatment they received at Indian Wells in 2001 (Serena won), they've boycotted that tournament ever since. Even though the WTA made it mandatory
They crushed all the "rivals" that were hyped up by the media over the years (hingis, capriati, davenport, clijters, henin, sharapova, etc).
Seeing true black excellence in a lily white sport has rarely been so satisfying

The Serena Sharapova 'rivalry' has been especially delicious ...

I still remember the overall orgasm they had when Sharapova won at wimbledon. They thought it was a brand new day ...but serena hit them and especially maria with the "i thought i told you that it wont stop, i thought i told you that it wont stop NEH EH NEH EH"

White people have no problem with manipulating children and trying to mold them. Especially black ones. Props to the dad for checking the bullshyt.

 

[Listen]

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

I mean, take race out of it and I still wouldn't think he was being overprotective. The job of a parent is to look out for your children and do your best when they are still children to shield and educate them on the ways of the world. He was doing his job right there.

Then add the obvious racial element to it and he was down right mild mannered in his response if you ask me.

That smile on her face at the end.

She knew her pops had her back.

Told the CaC to LEAVE THAT ALONE

...I have no problem with a father defending their child from patronization

In 2004, Sharapova won their first 2 meetings and cacs were
Since then, Serena has beaten her 16 straight times

black fathers

Funny thing....if Rich posted on this site yall would call him a c00n.

"Cant have two little black girls ignoring the good people of the hood to play tennis...what, they too good to talk to us huh?"

Dude held his daughters down when they were coming up...and knew when to fall back.
Im sure that was hard for him.

You must be on a lot of ignore lists if people let this retarded nonsense slide. Who has ever got called a c00n for teaching their kids tennis on the coli?

Im talking about how Richard was in general back then.
But I doubt most people here know his/their story like that.
He didnt take shyt from anyone (regardless of race).

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

At first I was going to say the father overreacted, but when you re-watch the clip and pay close attention to the subtleties and nuances...you could see the journalist was on some fukkboy shyt
