lipsredasroses:lilaceverglades:afatblackfairy:micdotcom:Serena Williams is going to make tennis history — and yet is still the victim of horrible racism and sexism Serena Williams is now a little closer to making tennis history. With her 20th major Open Era win at the French Open on Saturday, she’ll likely surpass the 22-win record currently held by Steffi Graff. Despite this feat, she’s still the butt of disgusting jokes and commentary — and still forced to respond with bravery and poise.She has a beautiful body and its from years of training. Like I guess when you work out for years you’re supposed to be curvy with zero muscle? Come on now and those gorilla comments are fucking gross.Men are so intimidated but a muscular and powerful woman. Serena you keep doing you boo!this is what misogynoir looks like! de-value black women’s athletic ability by saying how it’s natural, innate,and animalistic. dehumanize us and de-feminize us. make sure we are never seen as human.For my followers who don’t think sexism and racism go hand in hand. This is the perfect example of racialized sexism. -- source link
