Richard Williams is a living legend. He literally created champions. Black folks respect that!
That being said, no one can control or downplay the experiences of his other children. If they choose to speak up about their experiences with him, there’s nothing we can do about that because that is their real lived experience.
BUT, Richard Williams, Matthew Knowles, Joe Jackson, even LaVar Ball— we acknowledge the black fathers who poured into their children and lead them to success.
Mainstream society might not, but WE do.
