urn to tennis and we see this week a pathetic Serena Williams in a profanity-ridden rant, because she is being beaten badly on the court and apparently cannot handle the self-induced humiliation, and so goes ballistic over an apparently bad call. I am sure she would have preferred, as in the past, the racist- to the profanity-card, had not the targeted umpire herself been a person of color. Of course, John McEnroe, Ilie Natase and Jimmy Connors set the present low standards in tennis. Ms. Williams is only following in their ends-justify-the-means footsteps. In about a week, her father will weigh in with his customary slurs on spec. Who knows, maybe even McEnroe will claim, “Even I would never do that!”
Steal the Show
Then a buffoonish rapper Kanye hijacks a music awards show, to scream out that he prefers the loser to the poor embarrassed winner, standing mute before him with the trophy. But how can the audience that honors the violence and degradation of hip-hop / rap, then be outraged that they get a live version of such crude behavior before them of what they buy on CDs? Had Kanye only put in a plug for green jobs, he might have escaped without the boos. So we need a Juvenal (‘Who will police the police”) to note the irony of a crass music industry being out-crassed on its formal night out....

It’s okay, they were born with a pass to be uncouth, according to the State Run Media.
Some people have class, most do not.

But But HEY they provide so much too the country these people should be allowed to walk on everyone.\s
Sorry but an athlete in a high pressure situation losing it for a short while is not the same thing as taking over an awards show. I am not a big fan of the Williams, but outbursts by athletes have a long long history. Interupting someone receiving an award is planned and far worse than an outburst in a tense moment in sports.
Brainwashed parents and PC schooling and society....
And how is that any different from saying, "He can't help acting like that, he's black?"
How does that quote go, "the soft bigotry of low expectations?"
And no amount of money can buy class.
There you go, giving her a pass for contemptible behavior...

It doesn't differ, but that is what the State Run Media pushes. It's also sad. By crying racism all the time, for any reason, they are being the most racist of all,
I think what bothers me most is the contemptible way black people still consider them victims of their race.
“Don’t you know who I am??” I am better than you, richer than you, and more famous than you, so I can do whatever I d@mn well please!”

Do you know any Africans? I do - lots. Lived there for over a year.
The inference that this trash has anything to do with the African tribes they came from is a nasty slur. Nope, this krap be home grown. Thank you, LBJ.
“President Obama called for more civility on 60 Minutes the other night.”
Another lie.
The Kenyan has fostered a culture of hate by demonizing his enemies. He has given blacks the secret go code to Mau Mau whites. Boy blunder and his minions are instigating a race war.
The Kenyan Impostor has dropped his mask. America buys more ammo.
Amazing how this behaviour has escalated since our President of Color took office. But no racism there... NOOOOOO. Could you imagine if a white person had told a black award winner that another white should have won. He would have been lynched. (oops, not supposed to use that word either).

I concur there’s a difference. What aggravated Serena’s offense in my eyes was it having to take 3 different apologies, scattered over days, to finally offer something even remotely authentic-sounding. Most people who “blow their stack” have the wherewithal (and decency) to offer an immediate apology once they’ve calmed down: this generally doesn’t take days etc.
Serena had cause to be pissed off, I don’t blame her near as much as Kanye, who has a history of dicklike behavior.
Williams is an ego driven perfectionist with an aversion to getting older and slower.
