Imagine being booed by a home crowd just because of your skin colour, no one deserves that
Was she booed because of her skin colour or was she booed because of apparent match fixing?
@@Badmansband max fixing lol
@@Badmansband you are black ? If not, you can't talk
@@Badmansband racism strongly exists in tennis

Who else choked up at 6:04, when Serena started to cry after being cheered instead of booed 14 years later at Indian Wells.
✊💯💚
I did
Dam who cut the onions
Thats 8 or more titles she could have had. Anyway i understand her reaction. She was traumatized by the last experience. Thats why she needs a therapist.

I’m sad you ever had to feel that way Serena you have brought some much joy and inspiration to people everywhere. 🙏❤️

STAY CLINT She has had enough of the BS. Only in the place of birth she is being treated like this. It has to be heartbreaking. They were trying to break them they were dominating the sport. It did not work. When will they ever learn. Who God bless no man curse.
Sinister Sisters playing like boys is nothing to watch. Just fake dopes.
@@isakkarvonen9387 jealous and pathetic from those who can't hold a candle to greatness.
Why is it always racism when Serena got involved? I personally just do not like some tennis players because of their personalities and their behaviour on the court. Such players involve Zverev or Fognini or Kyrgios and it involves also female players like Putintseva or Cornet and also Serena. So my dislike of them has nothing to do with their skin color.
"An American crowd booing an American family." Nothing much has changed😐
2009 foot fault was reviewed...BS...just like so many other times Venus was screwed on call that cost her championships! Haters can hate all they want didn't stop these ladies.
I remember watching a match with Venus at the US open and the crowd was cheering for the foreigner instead of Venus. It was shameful.
@@33ladyRAM She only seems to have footfault violations when she is playing in the US.
Nate Jewels you sound so pathetic. It’s embarrassing seriously. Fact is America is a racist country. Shame on America shame on you. Once a power house, now a disaster. The rest of they world are laughing at yous. 😂
@@33ladyRAM There are many other players that were unfairly treated and cost them the match. But nobody called them the victim of Racism. So shut the fuck up.
The Williams have really got through a lot!!! Now both of them are icons
A truly inspiring woman. An icon, I will always support this woman no matter what other people say.
Ruben WOE UNTO THE ONES THAT MAKE GOOD EVIL AND EVIL GOOD....BECAUSE FROM A CHILD WE KNOW WHEN WE GOT CAUGHT WITH OUR HANDS IN THE COOKIE JAR WE WOULD SAY WE DID NOT DO THAT..... EVEN WITH THE CRUMBS AS EVIDENCE ON OUR MOUTH.....SO PRETTY MUCH WE KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG AND GOOD FROM EVIL ...FROM AS LITTLE CHILDREN.👌✌️💟
You are inspired by a horrible human being like her? Venus has way more class than her.
fix 😴😴😴
Outstanding inspiring woman
@@rubenvannijnatten Its the truth. Find somebody worthy of an inspiration. Not somebody who abuses her power on a regular basis.
This is so emotional. Serena cried as she arranged her bag . Her sister cried from the stands. I cried watching this clip knowing the background story. True strength lies in forgiveness. It’s one of the most difficult things to do. This is why Nelson Mandela will always be for me the greatest statesman that ever lived and Serena the greatest sportswoman in history. In the course of their duties they did something way more difficult than all their other achievements put together. Let’s all learn from these godly examples.
Amen
I support Serena 100%...
You and me both
Me too.
Me too. She's the best.
when people are jealous...this is the way they act....it's absolutely ridiculous...what horrible people
@Joe Ann well I'm not one of them...we're not all the same....luckily enough...I live in Italy...married to an Italian...but I'm Scottish....there is a lot of racism here because of the immigrants....there is good and bad everywhere....we don't all have good hearts....but who deserves it...to be treated well and respected....the world is one and we all should have respect for each other....but ignorance is worse than evilness....bye
Enough of BS from Serena..I'm just getting disgusted with her..I'm black..she is not going to tell me about how to handle black issues..get lost
@@Futhi.Johnson everybody handles it in their own way...I understand though thY on court she should be an example ...to everybody...black and white
Joe Ann I’m Caucasian, but I’m not American. But what got me was when the lady said “we just wanna live out loud”.
That’s what societies all over the globe have been suffering from and fighting against, whether it be women in general fighting to get their own voices heard, and the inevitable fear the men in power at that time would have had.
Or whether it be children speaking out against systematic and institutionalised child abuse and the fear held in the hearts fo the abusers.
I think that everyone has a right to “live out loud” as we are all creatures of the lord. In all honesty, I’m not American so will not speak on your experience or even try to understand your position. Just keep on making your life be out loud and know that you have my support, and most likely, the support of many Caucasian women also.
❤️xx
Joe Ann how can you talk about most Caucasians when you don’t know them most of them? You can’t fight racism with racism, it won’t work.
I was courtside at the US open when Serena played Venus in 2001 and the crowd booed relentlessly. I ended up courtside because so many people didn't show up who bought tickets that they asked us to move down to fill the seats so the it would look good for the cameras. I had paid $125 for a ticket and because of racism I got to see icons perform up close. I can tell you that they hit those balls like rockets. It was amazing. I thank God everyday for that experience, amid the boos from the crowd I was cheering them both, screaming at the top of my lungs. I hope they heard me and I hope my lone little voice made them know that someone was on their side and I still am!
ur awesome
Yeah!!!
Wow ❤
God bless you !!! God was on their side too !!!
Serena's legacy is the game that's played today. When she arrived on the scene she revolutionized the women's game. She took women's tennis to new heights, she set records that will never be matched.
Imagine waking up in the morning & realizing you're the greatest there ever was or will be. She earned it all the hard way--to achieve all this as a Black woman means she had to fight harder than anyone will ever know. Serena is a role model for how to succeed on your own terms.
@Max E this is cuz the Williams dominated everything
@Max E Venus was a beast in 2007. the only player that was their rival was maybe Henin
Serena you beat them with your trophy 👑 and you're the queen
This is why she’s the greatest of all time. She too admits her faults learn from them and move on. Everybody in this world will not like her but who are they--they are the naysayers. She has earned everything that she has achieved--💯💯💯
@Joe Ann So I'm assumig no asians or latinos were booing.
Well...Any kids who know a min tennis know that she is not the GOAT. Top 5 for sure
when did she admit to her faults at all? She still hides behind her gender and being a mother. What a sad person.
That's funny, not owning up to her faults is one of the things I most dislike about her.
@@TheRafaelBond ignorant haters strikes again.
left as a champion, came back as a legend! You are the best ever to me!!!
she is only human and can lose her temper like everyone else. Greatest female player of all time.
Yet not everybody does it like her so..... "i have a daughter"
Find me one other player, male or female, who has threatened to ram a ball down a linesperson's effing throat. Serena loses her temper like nobody else.
@@JohnSmith-oe5kx clearly you are a newbie in tennis.....just search for John Mcnrou angry moments or Andy Roddic or Djokovic....the list is endless
@@sarasonsalas3472 I have likely been a tennis fan longer than you have, but that is immaterial. John McEnroe screeching "you cannot be serious" or calling someone a jerk is not even in the same ballpark. I repeat:
Find me ONE other player, male or female, who has threatened to ram a ball down a linesperson's effing throat.
@@JohnSmith-oe5kx whilst you looking for a player who said the above, also check if there is any other player male or female who said "I didnt know they had black Germans" to a linesman.
This is what make you a Legend
Glad the male commentator at the start mentioned how it smacked of racism....More power to you Serena for making the choice not to go there and pay the fine instead and making the decision to go back...your decision not theres...what they didnt know they were doing was" drinking the poison hoping the other person will die" They drank the poison but you remained great!!! Welcome home Serena Jameka Williams...oh really now!!!!
3:35 "how about... She gives a shit"
I love her!!
This is why I will always love this woman!! Because after everything she’s been through, she always pulls through. Whether she wins or not, that another match she’s finished as a woman of color in this forever racist world. ❤️❤️
Amen ! And well said.
Serena is a true TrailBlazer, I am Very PROUD of this Beautiful Lady! Love always
I think most of her muscles are just fat.
Tennis will be so good without her. Very soon.
@Goran Matulovic yes, because she earned that by working hard at the gym. Brush respect the hard work..
I admire her sooo much. And through all the hatred, adversity, and opposition she still rose to the top to become one of the greatest who ever played the game. Kudos Serena and God bless!
@Thoska Brah Name a tennis player that has had to overcome as much as she has. I'll wait.... she is human and allowed to have slip ups.
Isha crying when Serena returned to Indian Wells set me off 😭
I cried on her comeback , Serena is coming from very far I now understand her better.. love her so much 💜💛💚
Dear Serena, Thank you for this Video. I am 62 years old, and on May 13, 2019, I graduated with a masters degree, from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My entire two years there I was subjected to racism and bullying. Like you at Indian Wells, I did not understand why. I never expected to have that experience at such a prestigious institution. I could have easily given up and quit. There I was this older woman among so many younger students who made me feel unwelcome. A teacher at the school who had embarrassed me in her class, said in her apology to me, that the school is a White Supremacist Institution. While I did not believe what she said, in my case, it certainly felt that way. All that you and Venus has gone through in the sport of Tennis, a mostly white institution, inspired me throughout my two years as SAIC. I also gain inspiration each time I glance at headings in the media that refer to you, Venus and Mrs.Obama as having animal features. I don't read the articles anymore. I just use those racist headlines to inspire me to continue reaching for my goals at age 62. It is obvious those comments are a reflection of that persons jealousy. You, Venus and Mrs. Obama could not be more beautiful examples of African-American Women, who are beautiful inside and out. external beauty and internal beauty. Thank you and Venus for being so much more than Tennis Super Stars.
She won despite all that it only proves to good she is
I am so proud of her I am an Indian but there can be no greatest sports personal in this universe like serena williams ladies and gentlemen.
So much genius and talent in the hoods and slums of the world. Like the movie trading places, if the opportunity is there alot of those kids would take the game in whatever sport/career/industry to another level.
Can you do a report on Arthur Ashe and how he died from Aids through a blood transfusion? He was a famous tennis player, a trail blazer, philanthropist, pioneer and all of a sudden...AIDS through a blood transfusion? Im sure if one of the other tennis players were at the same hospital that they would've screened the blood or make sure top notch services were rendered. He wasn't promiscuous at all...it just doesn't sound right...
God Be with you my sister....God chose You to prove His Love for people He created in spite of what they know not what they do or see.
What has God to do with this? Specifically not if the twisters are brothers and not sisters. There is no holiness in the sinister.
Serina my child tbis was a long time ago and still is today .when you are black and God bless you the racist and haters will be there to pull you down .and what is sad your own black inculcated
We need to come together as one people for united we stand
It doesn't matter how many more times u loose a match..u r already greatness...so is venus
Serena Williams is a great tennis player! She changed the standard of tennis! Power hitting it’s Serena and Venus! That’s the reality!
I agree. Although as they've got older both Serena and Venus have added a lot more touch and nuance to their games, probs from playing so much doubles. I still see the accusation made against them that the only reason they still win is because they're physically much stronger so they can hit the ball harder than any other player, which is just a fallacy seemingly used to invalidate their level of skill and the years spent honing it.
We saw last night who can really hit very hard.
And who's slow...
Greatest women tennis player ever😇
That Serena crip walk is legendary 😂 I absolutely love it!
I do top and she was Villified for that too! For dancing the racist felt threatened by her just dancing!!! Can you imagine that.
She paved the way for Coco, who I saw moving to tunes on court with fans. This time she was embraced this is Serena's legacy.
God is a God of all colors...
GHANA president said in July 2019: "All the black people in the world will be respected when Africa country was developed. A modern Africa improve African-American image too". He asked foreign African to help and built Africa.
💃🏾Serena🏸Earned Her Spot Wit No Handouts(All Blacks
🙍🏾♂️🙍🏾♀️🙍🏾♀️🙍🏾♂️Don't Fit Dat Same Stereotype Anymore😒Some Of US Actually Wanna Do Right✊🏾)
Haters are always hates..thats their jobs !!!
God was all in that and was with her
she gave this sport her love and life.
I love her so much 😭❤️
This has been a tennis stadium has ever been towards a player, utter madness.
The public was terrible booing at her but Serena has always rejoiced playing the victim card. I would have been angry against any player white or black or whatever race or origin if I payed a ticket to see a match and there are rumors that her/his brother didn´t let me see it. Some players are liked more than others and that isn´t necesarry raccism related, tell that to Djokovic who had to deal with a 99% crowd cheering Federer in last Wimbledon final, or Hingis in the FO 99 final against Steffi, or Kyrgios who has problems with crowd, specially when he´s playing Nadal, yet nobody complains about racism because they know all athletes have to play against the crowd sometimes. Serena is just another player that is not everybody´s like, she´s a great athlete but I think people don´t like her aggressive personality on court and the fact that she had it much easier than other players because of her sister.
Bullshit
A load of nonsense. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Shut up
You are absolutely right!!!
Tell me you missed the point without telling me you missed the point
It really amazes me that most of the Tennis World has never being troubled by the lack of Minorities in their respective Clubs out there.
I do agree not everyone will like you for you are and what one can accomplish in the 2020s.
I agree that the Indian wells situation was racism pure and simple. But at the us open 2009 that was just bad behavior at the wrong time. You can’t threaten the line judge on match point when you have already gotten a code violation
I guess that the Indian Wells event must be boycotted by black People henceforth.
I hate this......SERENA AND VENUS WILLIAMS LOVE THEM.....I am white...love them both....amazing people xxx
2:46 serena telling line judge shes gonna ram this tennis ball down her fucking throat.
ps try being #onest
the worst happened to her was the match against Jenifer Capriati,,,,,that chair umpire made too many erros and Serena had to accept it
Yeah and they have nothing to say about it they only comment when they feel she's wrong, sad
And she went on to win 22 grand slams.
No 23
Yes 23 now and that is the answer of god.
who cares about female sports really? the competition is way down compared to men. fed is the best ever
She even beat them today serena power respect
Being a black Indian I could better understan. How I was ignored every time in my class due to my black colour &my lower cast....I could never forget how much I cried on my bed that how they abused my colour and cast which has been given by GOD. They used to call me blackboard or anything which was similar to my colour. Thank you Dr B R Ambedkar to save us from those cruel upper cast monster.
shivraj singh sorry you had to experience that, you are beautiful.
I will never forget her return to Indian Wells. I cry every time I watch the standing ovation. :')
This touched me!!! 😢❤️❤️❤️❤️
being ypung she had been traumatized
Ms Serena Williams is a great tennis player, & now a tennis icon. Go win your 24th grand slam & to hell with the haters !! You are the idol of the young tennis players & lastly admire by millions !!
That crip walk was so amazing. You have to be able to he yourself and others should accept it. The people that are secure in themselves appreciate others being themselves.
Serena you are beautiful person God will be on your side dont lose your faith because of those nonsense human being 。
Arigato
That was a great clip.
So basically every time Serena gets criticized it's racism? Got it.
Right...she can basically boss anyone around and if someone objects just pull out the race card.
Its not that. You don't obviously get it
@@Zeno7741 I just came to a different conclusion than what the video was trying to promote. That doesn't mean I don't get it. Serena is an amazing athlete, best of all time. As a person, I'm less than impressed. But that's the problem when athletes get political. We stop focusing on what makes them great, and see all their flaws.
You got that right. You people never criticized nor condemn anything that was done to those girls throughout their careers but is very quick to condemn anything they did even if it was done by other players. So it is quite obvious it is racism.
Boois Hoois So standing up for your rights as a human being is political? She should just play and take all the abuse coming her way from every corner. She is not a robot.
It is everywhere, personally I think it is a test for human passion
Never ever boo your own!!!
Class, at its best!! God Bless America!
whats the end music .??
love it❤❤
If you can forgive and persevere you can do pretty much anything positive. She is an inspiration. In days past people explored the physical world. She is one of our modern day explorers in another vain but just as important because she represents so many others all over the world that are marginalized FOR NO GOOD REASON. Actually the main reason marginalization occurs is fear of the unknown. Its 2022. We should have grown up by now.
Love you Serena!!!!
You are the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES!!
Steffi Graf is the greatest player of all time.
She's nice, too. And she's not fat.
You both are wrong....ever heard of nadal Federer Djokovic sampras...
@@panorama4526 no se23na is the goat,she surpassed steffi 23-22.
what really strikes me that in the US everything is being called racism, as soon as they think that injustice is done.....
@Emcstea well said.
@Emcstea Many people thought that Venus threw the semifinal so that Serena could save herself for the final. It is certainly plausible because, after exploding onto the scene in 1999, Serena had a comparatively lacklustre 2000, winning only a pair of Tier II tournaments. Coming into 2001 Indian Wells, Serena had not won a Tier I title since the 1999 US Open and had slipped from 4th to 6th in the rankings. Is it really so hard to believe that the Williams decided that it was not worth having Serena and Venus tire each other out to face the winner of Hingis-Clijsters, and Serena's career needed a boost? In the end, Hingis-Clijsters payed three sets, and a more rested Serena beat Clijsters in a three-set final, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Not to mention that Venus seemed to recover pretty quickly from her injury, she won the tournament the week after Indian Wells. None of this is in any way racist.
@@JohnSmith-oe5kx when it come to make theories you look like and idiot coming straight from Harvard
I honestly believe that Serena is the best player I have ever seen in tennis. Unfortunately, she has been subjected to racism and a lot of negativity through her career from the crowd and the media and the umpires. I am not black, but I believe this is quite disgraceful that someone like her would be subjected to all this undermining. It is just terrible that we judge people according to their skin color or status or race or religion. She is truly an icon.
Doksh those who do not like Serena are envious haters.hate of Serena's greatness in tennis
psanklecha oh shut to hell up. She is the greatest of all times in woman’s tennis.
Mandella excused the sworn racists. He gave all racists the chance to review their prejudices. But i don't think you did the right thing. Because they had enough of excuses.They did not deserve to see the empress of tennis.
The last walk into Indian Wells 😢
It'll always be racism in tennis and EVERYWHERE!!! So Ms BLACK PANTHER come on back and break that last record u going for and call it quits...u have NOTHING TO PROVE ANYWAY!!!😁😘😘
Then go back to africa!!!
Why don’t you tell Federer to call it quits? Why should she call it quits when she is still playing at a level where is making the finals after all she went through? Why not tell Sharapova to call it quits?
Richard Venus andvenus Williams has the last laugh by being a winner and top tennis 🎾 player. Venus and Serena has done the darn thing. Life have challenges but Richard William prepared them for the challenges ahead of time. DPitts
I love Serena.
What a courageous and beautiful lady, unapologetically you are simply great!!!
I love these women ❤️ They are everything I aspire to be ❤️❤️
A narcissistic winner?
@@mryan4452narcissistic?
Too short ... but well put
WTF is this? This is not about racism, is about her character!
So umpires cheating her, is about her character ? Loserrr
@@maximilianasmr7202 I don't see any cheat...
UY Scuti what character? In what sense?
That incident has everything to do with the characters of the umpire and the lines lady. Just plain incompetence, unprofessional and incompetency, period! ☺️🤷♀️
@@lll4599The referees were right and Serena was wrong in all incidents.
@@lll4599 Serena was right just because she is... mother. 😂😂😂😂😂
I think Serena is an inspiration for other black women, even though some of them are ashamed to admit it
Let this sink in this was barely 20 years ago. And here in 2022 were are still dealing and discussing the disease that we call Racism. I doubt it will ever go away. I feel ashamed to be human sometimes.
But they’ll b proud of her winning 23 slams.. they’ll take the glory for that! NY crowds are foul I’ve witnessed 1st hand and I’m British never heard a crowd boo there own, they are on another level.
At least she gets to dine out on that race card. Venus v Serena was always a non event there were the two powerhouses in the game they intimidated and were ruthless against every other player but never showed any of that play against each other. A Venus v Serena match was always the main event something tennis fans wanted wold queue all nigh for, the majority of boo's that day were for the die hard tennis fans who wanted and deserved a high quality match from these two unique players but never got it.
That was vicious racism! #endofstory
Honor of Serena never lost you're being Legend .
What had a lot to with Indian Wells were the organizers. Venus Williams was injured during her match in the quarters. She was seen by three doctors who advised her not to play. The tournament was notified immediately but the organizers held off notifying the public until the day just before the schedule semi final to not affect ticket sales of a Williams Williams match. The commentors alleging fixing was slander. The audience perception was a fix all because of greedy organizers. Had Richard Williams and the family gone public after the Doctors reports it never would have happened. The blame for the entire thing rests sorely on the greedy organizers and the slanderous gossip from the sports announcers. Serena was not right to go back in my opinion, it just gave the greedy organizers another chance to use her.
Love her and her story
Love you Serena
Regards from east Africa,uganda
Love her to pieces , I fight with you and for you!!! Happily
This has nothing to do with racism but what the hell, America is obsessed with racism.
Majority of Americans created wealth of it, make their living of it, feed off it and use it to control the oppressed. They are the ones obsessed not the oppressed
The liberal elite pander to the ignorant by telling them they are oppressed and the ignorant believe it and are puppets for the liberal elite.
The said she crip walked in the Olympics. I died laughing. lol
I was in Usa and what I like about black people is how they are really helpfull when u ask them something,they are friendly,and funny as well.Th3y make you smile,they are so talented for so many things,especially dance.I don t know how people even today can even say they don t like them without even knowing them.I had friend that was black,great guy.In my country everybody judged me for hanging out with him and he was amazing to me.Fuck them all,if u love somebody u can t be with him because of the colour skin or what??Thats reason for turning ur back to someone.Fucken stupid world full of hate.
She is so strong.
What a loss of mind it is, to abuse a father infront of his little girls
Serena Williams a powerful and inspired individual
Tennis is a game of strategy, conserve energy for the next match.
Absolutely Legendary!
Serena love u still!
Notice the he said an American crowd booing Americans.
I love serena and venus
she is a trailblazer love her hate her it is what it is SERENA THE GREATEST she will go down in history for a longtime
If she can bring her fullest of joys in the court ?? Then her angers should be expressed the same way.Anger is nit always bad,its what u do that makes it bad
I don't know, but they only booed her, because they thought they fixed the match and not because they are black. How is this racism?
"The only booed her because they THOUGHT they fixed the match"
They thought so they booed. So they questionned the integrity of 2 world class athletes and their family and they decided to boo them a whole match long and you think it has nothing to do with the fact that it was a black family. Just close your eyes and try to imagine the same crowd booing Agassi because he withdraw from mixed double match because Graf was on the other team and call it "match fixing"
Pls post the videos of Serena attacking referees, line judges and players next. Thank you!
Why you trying to play dirty that's not what this video is about I know Serena does not attack people they always come for her however did you watch the video
Sandra Walker I don’t remember the line judge coming for her? Didn’t she want to kill that poor women? Ups!
