Serena Williams Disses U.S. flag

"Williams said his daughters were the victims of racist prejudice from within the tennis world."

I'm not prejudiced against Serena Williams because she is black. But, I strongly dislike Serena Williams because she posed for photos sitting on a U.S. flag that was dragging on the ground.

"Williams also said he will never salute the flag because of racism in America."

Obviously his contempt and hatred rubbed off on Serena.

""It has no meaning for me," he said."

Then you might want to complain about Ken Adelman. He wears a flag necktie.

I noticed your took the photo out of context. She had one on either side, if I believe correctly, and she was celebrating something.

Therefore, your diatribe should actually be directed toward the Art Director and Photographer for deliberately setting her up for attacks such as this.

She is very young, focused, and may not have been aware at that particular time that she was causing distress.

Not unlike Princess Diana when she was asked to stand in front of the sun so her skirt would be see-through. It was a deliberate attempt to embarrass her.
