Black Racism or Inferiority Complexes?
It seems some people have been energized, validated, if you will, by the election of the first Black president of the United States to the extent that they feel free to make asses of themselves.
The markedly un-serene Serena Williams, bred by her father-coach to win at all costs, had already announced she was the greatest tennis player on the face of the Earth and on all other known inhabited planets.
She threw a hissy fit at the semi-finals of the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., demonstrating not just a distinct lack of sportsmanship but a total lack of class.
One especially unsympathetic observer commented that Serena “is a quitter. Yes, we saw the temper tantrum, saw her drop the f-bombs and tell the lines judge that she could take ‘this (bleeping) ball’ and stuff ‘it down your (bleeping) throat.’ “
The same commentator accused Williams of being a coward since she knew she had already lost and chose to be bounced from the match rather than be shown up as the consummate loser that she is: http://bit.ly/yhGn5.
Later Saturday night, “entertainer” Kanye West showed a similar lack of innate class at the Video Music Awards, also in N.Y.C.
West, best known for his insane vitriol about George W. Bush, accusing GWB of hating Black people and wanting them dead because he didn’t work a miracle after Katrina, vaulted onto the stage at the VMA when a White girl won the “Best Female Video” award and wrested the mic from the winner.
Songstress Taylor Swift was about to sing “You Belong to Me” when the always articulate West grabbed the microphone and yelled to a chorus of boos, “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m a [sic] let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time:” http://bit.ly/SkN8C.
Ms. Swift, a true, unflustered trooper, went on with the show as Kenye West slunk off into his cave. To their credit, even Black entertainers were embarrassed by his behavior.
For those interested in viewing West’s gross exhibition of classlessness, the video is available at that link.
I just wonder what’s going on with Blacks in this country,. . .
