    Is Richard Williams a Racist

    Friday, March 21, 2008, 09:58 PM PST [General]

    Richard Williams made some pretty inflamatory remaks to the news media recently when he was in India watching his daughters, Venus and Serena compete. Williams said that the WTA women's tour was racist and that his daughters aren't accepted and will never be accepted by tennis. He claims unfair treatment by the media saying its "the worst media job that they have done on any human in being in the world." so far this seems to be the rantings of a father watching guard over his daughters, but here comes the racism. Williams said " But you get some little white no good trasher in America like Tracy Austin or Chris Everett, who cant even hit the ball, they (the media) will claim this is great" Now we all know that if a white person said anything remotely close to a "black no good trasher in America" the likes Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton would mobilize the black community, claiming racism and demanding that this person...oh wait...Don Imus comes to mind, enough said. So why is it that someone of the black community can say something so defamatory, blatantly racist against someone who is white (or against any other race for that matter) and not be held accountable? I think that Richard Williams should definately be held accountable for his remarks and he definately owes Tracy Austin and Chris Everett a public apology. Maybe one of the reasons Venus and Serena arent not accepted so openly in the tennis community (if that is even true) is because of Richard. Is Richard Williams a racist, i dont know him well enough to say, but i do know he is prejudiced...how do i know this...he said so himself " Well, I'm black and I'm prejudiced, very prejudiced."
