It also said when she won at wimbledon she looked at the crowd and all she could see was " a wave of white faces "so she cried."

Thanks everybody for their answers. It was from an article that Chris Evett wrote. Probablly the pot calling the kettle black.

don't you think that by the year 2007...we would have heard something about this? remember...trash floats faster than niceness...therefore, if this racist statement was true...it would have been plastered all over the world...the tennis community would be under the microscope...her father would have been dubbed something and he would have been in the papers as the creator of this mess...her sister would be compared to her in that regard...
no...way to much crap that could have come about something like this...plus...where is she gonna find all these black children to sign their autographs at? at wimbledon you think? i don't think she will find such a huge black fan base when there are mostly whites at the game...at least from what i've seen...
not buying this craze...
but it would make good tv don't you think?

Its a form of discrimination. It's not right, and its even worse if we're are talking about kids. The truth is that if a white person did this, theyd be jumping all over him for being a skinhead, a Klansmen, and a Nazi. Things arent fair in this world sometimes, and it seems that white people can get away with very little nowadays. Still, I'm pretty sure Serena Williams signs autographs for everybody. Besides, how many black kids really go to watch tennis matches??

If it's true, then yes, it's racist.
Where you heard that story is a different matter, though. False stories circulate about celebrities all the time. And even if Serena Williams is secretly racist against whites, I find it hard to believe that as a celebrity she'd be careless enough to show it publicly.

I find that hard to believe. But if a white athlete were to only turn away black kids it would be a thousand times worse than the tar and feathering Imus got for mimicking Chris Rock.

That would be racist no matter who did it...
But to the person who said BET is a racist channel...it is owned by Viacom...a white owned business...give it up. This argument is getting old.

That is such BS. I really hope you don't believe she only signs black kids get autographs from Serena. Who told you that?

Ask Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. I bet they will have some BS answer, and that you are really the racist for asking about it.

Yeah that's definately racist. Racism is applicable to all races- hence the term.
