    If Serena and Venus' father was of European descent he'd have his own television show, radio show, designer clothes line, restaurant chain etc. Everyone would want a piece of him. We'd see him constantly being interviewed on every major news station and every morning and night talk shows. We'll it is ok because they can never change the fact that not only are those his daughters, but they are two of the best players of the sport, and he was also the coach of those daughters from the very beginning until relatively recently. Wow what an A+ father! Those daughters still love admire and revere him. Love the little interview. Non-pretentious all the way. What a guy, what a gentleman!

I mean... seriously.... sit down, relax and take a deep breath, now imagine this.... You beat everyone and now there's no one else left but, your sister.... to play with. And not just once!

Years from now when they've lightened his skin in photos, or turned him into a caucasion in history at least we hope they will keep the dialogue. I hope that we can at least keep Venus and Serena in our history. Two Black Women Bad Ass Tennis Champs
