His live-in nephew accused Uncle Richard of adultery, and giving orders to Serena and Venus as to when to lose and when to win. These actions and accusations have brought undue pressure on the two sisters as they go about the game of tennis. Mr. Williams says simply that these are racially based slurs aimed at him and his family. When the match ended, Venus was declared the champion over Capriati. The fans only option was to cheer a magnificent performance.
Racism is America s only undefeated champion.
Even in victory, the family has to face the negative energy of racism. When Venus withdrew at Indian Wells, Serena went on to play and beat Kim Clijsters of Belgium, to jeers and booing throughout. But, even then, she responded with dignity. Serena mentioned during the presentation ceremonies that the fans were a little hard on her, but she loved them anyway. That is called killing them with kindness.
