Discussion: Why hasn't Rev.s Jackson or Sharpton come to Serena Williams aide?

Because she doesn’t need any “aide” [sic]?

What are you getting at?

It’s not a racial issue, that’s why…I assume.

No, it isn’t a racial issue. But since when has that stopped Jackson or Sharpton?

Well, now for instance.

Yes, but why the change?

Did she not throw a hissy fit and was she not fined according to the USTA code?

@Noel_S_Leitmotiv: What change? Whose change?

Why did’t the Reverends sieze the oportunity for self promotion by insisting the fine was racially motivated?

Maybe you’ll have to adjust your opinions of them a bit in light of this new evidence.

Since Serena herself owed up, the Reverends need other business to butt into.

@Harp: Yes, perhaps i do.

Just to piss you off, mostly.

LOL @Sarcasm

Uh, cuz this was an issue on a tennis court with a line judge and has zilch to do with the fact that Serena is black. Serena has apologized and has said publicly she’d like this whole thing to be done now.

Let’s drop it.

I would suspect that if they attempted to stick their noses into her business come to her aid she would probably send them packing. I sure wouldn’t want to cross someone with a backhand like hers.

You might as well ask why they haven’t come to Kanye West’s aid. After all, Beyonce’s video was terrrific didn’t suck and Taylor Swift is not a sister.

Because neither Reverend is a complete idiot and they realize that it’s not racially motivated every time a black person gets into trouble of some sort.

Somehow I doubt you really couldn’t figure this out for yourself.

It’s not that i couldn’t figure it out for myself. I just don’t believe it.

@Noel_S_Leitmotiv how does banging one’s head against the wall feel?

Less painful than gouging out ones eyes i’d suspect.

If you believe Sharpton’s and Jackson’s agendas are legitimate that’s fine.

No need to get ugly about it.

Troll.

As soon as someone who agrees with my thinking calls me a troll i’ll take the charge seriously.

Obviously, you don’t know the meaning. True questions do not ask for support of an opinion.

? Where did I ask for ‘support of an opinion’?

(crickets chirping)

I personally am thrilled to pieces that no one, so far as I know, has blamed it on PMS!!!

She lost her temper and spoke rashly, happens to everyone, just usually not on TV.
