I'm really hoping she ties the modern open grand slam record this year (22; Graf). But 4 in one year? That would be cray. But it's just Wimbledon and the us open. Her best tournaments.
Oh, my mom would love to be there for the us tournament.

Thanks guys. I unblocked her and unfriended her, so I don't expect anything to happen but a clean blocked list.
Overall the interview itself was fine IMO since Farrakhan toned down a lot of his usual talking points for the Breakfast club (ex: US Black people needing their own land separate from US white people, Obama being a puppet, downplaying the importance of MLK's dream speech in favor of other speeches and writings that support his separation narrative, and diseases like AIDs and Ebola being a product of the white man to kill black people off the top of my head). In the context of the interview, the way Farrakhan presented the subjects sound like anything you'd hear in a barbershop. But when he says these same subjects to his followers, they are a lot more extreme. Regardless Spin is right when he says he's corrupt in regards to using a black power religion to prey upon angry black men and women in the US to get more followers believing he's a prophet.
They and religions like the Five Percenters are all religions based on rein-visioning history to support a narrative of black people being the superior ethnic group. Like double jump said, in the context of the religion, as long as you're just worshipping there's nothing "wrong" with people choosing to believe that. It's not like it's any more false or factual than the Bible writers making Israel the "chosen land" IMO.
No price is too high for being a squid and/or kid
Seriously though there are... quite a few features from that game that should have been in at release... but are being added later

The novelization was dope.
That's gotta be tons better than what seems to be a cash in of a comic arc.
The most disturbing WHAT IN THEEE FUCK thing in it was Doomsday hitting supergirl and her fucking turning into a dead clay body
smh, the cop couldn't even grab one or two white kids just to keep up appearances.
The book does a lot of leadup before the fight, you see superman/clark doing his day to day personal stuff. This was back when he was a TV reporter so it was interesting. So when he does die, the impact is better.
There is even a line about how lacking the Justice League has been without him and the other heavy hitters.

keep your strippers out of my American football
Proud of her, especially given where she came from. The fucked up part is the only mentions I saw abou it from dudes on my social media channels was talking about her ass. Screw her accomplishments, screw all the hard work she put in, it is all about her ass.
Not going feminist here, but kind of weak that a black woman's accomplishments get boiled down to how attractive she is or isn't.
I guess.

The sad part is, praising her beauty has to be part of the narrative. It should just be "here is a talented and skilled athlete who is owning the game", but assholes keep calling her a gorilla and saying that she isn't good-looking. Emphasizing that they don't think she isn't good looking, even when they praise her. Emphasizing her muscularity to the point that they call her manly.
This is where the intersectionality is. Black women don't get to be beautiful in mainstream America, unless they pass the paperbag test (Halle Berry) or align with certain philosophies (Stacey "Clueless" Dash). So yeah, Serena Williams /is/ beautiful. And talented. And skilled. And the Queen of Tennis (insert pop-Gafesque YAAAAAAAAS QUEEN SLAAAY here).
I grew up in the NOI as well as going to orthodox mosque with my Bengali neighbors in Brooklyn. Never felt that was the case about Farakhan or the NOI in totality but I do concede they have problematic viewpoints.
That aint a black women thing. Its a woman thing. Nobody checking for female athletes that dont look good. Serena got polarizing features. If she was half as good but better looking she'd be an absolutely massive deal.
hmm I think she's gorgeous though. Also since Serena is black and a woman she's gets the sexist bullshit along with the racism tossed her way at the same time.
Of course? And in my hood I don't know a lot men or women that think she's unattractive thats all beside the point however

What do you mean by 'polarizing features'?
Boss Riovane

nah son, she bad. People have preferences and all that, but she bad. And those opinions on her looks have nothing to do with her career, yet people bring it up constantly any way, which is the issue at hand.
She still bad though.
This is pretty much the distillation of my FB feed the last few days. So sad.
that brolic ass upper body. don't be dense now.

How come no one is talking about the only two people not in business attire in the Ant-man trailer are minorities?

Okay, I just wanted to make sure. I just wonder if anyone has ever called Ronda Rousey or Gina Carano a gorilla.
we all forgot that trailer a few minutes after watching it.

Serena, Gina and Ronda they can all get it.
"I mean this with no disrespect ... I would beat your ass."
No but they aint as built as serena. Maybe ronda is. But gina aint whenever ive seen her.

Nope. Only the black women. It's not the body. Serena's body is basically code word. A physical 'thug'. Something for people to hide behind. She excels at her sport and built a physique for it and make some people afraid.
But I'm still salty over that British paper that put beauty and the beast on their cover when sharapova won over Serena. Maybe if she had Halle's face, people would spluge but not typical European means gorilla.
Serena is hot to me and could get it in any hood. Except hollyhood.
Serena winning a grand slam is always an emotional moment for me, because of how much fucking adversity she goes through being a top player in that racist-ass sport. She has received so much hate over the years, I'm fucking proud of her just for still playing, but being the best on top of that? Gurl, WORK.
She gets attacked all the time for being black, a woman, and undeniably the best damn player on the court today. And everyone is just PRESSED that nobody is even close and when Serena finally retires the woman's side is going to fucking die. But at least the basics will be able to relax and no longer live in fear of having dat ass tapped when they step in the court with The Queen.

Serena has four times as many singles wins as Maria, but Maria has double the endorsements.
Reality is a bitch.
This is some nice sitting at the throne music.
so fucking true
No surprises there lol.
except its not. there will always be a new star for folks to latch on to. plus theres the new generation of athletes like sloane coming in the williams sisters path.
like i know yall are bitter about how they treat serena but i guarantee you they would even disagree w/ yall for thinking this.
if womens tennis dies because they retire then thats about the worst possible thing for their legacy.
nobody is bigger than the game.
