Serena Williams says she 'won't be silent' about racial tensions with police
ESPN ^ | September 27, 2016

American tennis player Serena Williams took to Facebook on Tuesday to say she "won't be silent" about race relations and tension with police.

Williams, 35, said she had the moment of reflection while riding with her 18-year-old nephew. She wrote that she saw a cop on the side of the road and checked to make sure her nephew was driving at the speed limit, prompting her to think about the case of Philando Castile, who was shot after being pulled over in Minnesota.

so’she feels her nephew speeding should not be something they get pulled ‘over for, if they are dumb enough to be speeding enough a cop pulls them over?

you cant act like a dumb #@!% and not expect to draw more attention to you than people who do not. if you are going ten over but others are doing 5, and you pass police, guess who stands out?

maybe its good people check their speed going by a cop. maybe they respect the law when a lawman is visible.

Serena, where were you going to put that M’Fing ball, down some line judges throat if I remember correctly? She has dodged many USTA dope tests because of her “religion”. The truth about her doping WILL NEVER COME OUT because she is a BLACK female athletic superstar, posing as a model for the young Chilren of American. How many 35 year old women have delts bigger than many NFL players?

Here we go again. Another very spoiled and privileged athlete who makes millions a year, eats at the finest restaurants, drives cars that most people could never dream of owning, lives in mansions that most people cant afford, etc....

Who is she really standing for? We know the answer is attention.

Another multi-millionaire Black complaining about prejudice as they drive their Lamborghini to their mansion. If her excessive wealth for playing a sport is bothering her, she could volunteer to help children learn to read or commit to some other worthy charity for poor Blacks.

The solution is so simple. Don't act like and walk like a hood. Don't use or sell drugs. Don't break into people's homes and business and steal what is not yours. Don't wave a gun at the police.

Follow those rules and most of your problems will vanish.

“”There comes a time when silence is betrayal”. “

Yet, the black racist won’t say a word about black on black crime that kills 100 times more than any cop kills.

Yeah..., uh, huh...like I give a rat's ass what this doping behemoth half-man has to say about anything...particularly one whose claim to fame is the ability to hit a freaking tennis ball really hard.

Tennis sucks.

So does it.

And we won’t be silent about black savages attacking people of other races.

I guess Serena has all but forgotten her older sisters murder in LA in 2003. It was a black on black, gang related shooting in a crime ravaged neighborhood that the Williams sisters escaped because of their wealth but not so much her sister.
