“Hit the net like any Negro would.”
I don’t even know what that means and I don’t think Serena Williams did either, but she admitted it affected her. She won the 3rd Round Match in the Sony Ericsson Open, but not until after a heckler was ejected from the Tournament in Key Biscayne, FL.
For you racist people out there (you know who you are), please let me know what this means. I’m racking my brain trying to think why black people need to hit nets, but I can’t seem to find anything. This guy is definitely one of the worst hecklers in history and ranks up there with the guy at Clippers’ games that tells Tim Thomas he “sucks” every time he enters the game- even this late into his inaugural season with the Clips.
But this guy did do what most hecklers don’t do, and that’s messing up the hecklee. “I was shocked, I couldn’t believe it, ” said Serena. “I couldn’t believe it. I had to do a double take. I think I hit a double fault on that point.” So, according to that, this guy should actually go up in the Pantheon of Hecklers, not with the Tim Thomas guy.
Serena later went on to bring up something her and her handlers never bring up. “I shouldn’t have let it bother me because growing up in Compton we had drive-bys…” Really? You grew up in Compton? I never heard that before. I’ve never ever had it thrown in my face before. I wonder if it was hard growing up there… if only I could gain entrance to the post-match news conference and ask Serena, then I’d know. Eh, I guess I’ll have to hope someone else asks that or I’ll scour the archives to see if, maybe, the question was asked before. Eh, I won’t even check, I’m sure no one has brought up Compton when talking about one of the Williams Sisters before.
I wonder if Tony Parker is dating anyone, too. I also really want to know how A-Rod and Jeter’s relationship is doing. I hope someone asks about these things.
perhaps internet usage is prevalent in the black community. just a thought.
or……
are unemployment agencies linked using some kind of intranet like device, perhaps known as the net? just a second thought.
i’m racist? God forbid I make a racially insensitive joke on many occasions, but trashing defenseless autistic kids or black guys with birth defects…. that’s something to be proud of you hypocrite.
if anyone needs me, I’ll be at bigotrycanbefunny.com with people who share my views
here’s a boring story for your readers….
my sort of boss (rhymes with trackmore) sent out a youtube video of the southpark naggers/niggers video in an email to a large group with this message “Make sure the speakers are low if you’re at work, or around the kiddies…”
He then recalled it, which doesn’t actually recall the first message. It just sends a follow up message saying he’d like to recall his previous email. I didn’t see either of his emails til after the recall. If he’d only sent the first one, I would have thought nothing of it. I may have never even clicked the link in his first email. But when I saw both, that seemed 10 times worse to me, because it was obvious after the fact he became afraid someone could take something he found funny and spin it in a way that made me him seem like he believed or supported something patently racist even if it is clearly done in the context of humor. The southpark clip in the video actually was part of an episode mocking how we as a society overreact to language or soemthing that shouldn’t have power over us anymore.
who’s more racist? a guy who sees the humor in the subject of race, but has to hide his sense of humor behind a “journalistic take” with the opening tagline “hit the net like any negros would” or the guy who believes we should be passed all that and isn’t afraid to make light of the subject regardless of company. I’m no more racist then you daniel san. I just care less how others will judge me based on what I find funny.
