Racism and Serena Williams

Racism and Serena Williams

Racism is an ugly word and a word very often unjustly applied.

Professional hate mongers and race baiters, like the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, toss the term around as if they’re playing volleyball, unmindful of the lesson behind the Aesop fable of the shepherd boy who cried wolf.

The townspeople eventually get fed up with the boy’s lying and refused to come to his aid when a true threat came on the scene, a nasty, hungry, real wolf.

Aesop’s readers learn the moral that, “Even when liars tell the truth, they are never believed. The liar will lie once, twice, and then perish when he tells the truth.”

So, too, will reasonable people come to realize those reverends are money-grubbing, racist charlatans whose repetitive cries of racism have as much substance as the shepherd boy’s “Wolf!” lies.

Which brings us to the less than serene sports star, Serena Williams.

Serena recovered, even if the line judge who was the target of her F-bomb-filled, murderous invective hasn’t.

Serena moved on down the road to exhibiting her prodigious bod on ESPN Magazine’s “body issue” cover:

If she is disinvited, . . .
