Feminism's biggest problem is usually women. Margaret Court hates on Serena Williams. Feminism was supposed to be for white women.
The Australian tennis great is upset and recently did an interview with Britain's Daily Telegraph in which she said that she was jealous of Williams.
Court admiredSerena as a player. It seems that the admiration of Court is mandatory for every woman that plays tennis.
She claimed that a lot of the media don't want to mention her name. I didn't get the honor for what I did. They wouldn't mention me even though I have been given titles in my own nation.
This is when it gets really hot.
Court returned after two babies. I won three out of the four Slams after having my first child. Serena hasn't won a Slam since she became a mother.
There is a new Jan Brady.
The heart of why Court is so perturbed is what Venus Williams started and what Serena did next. The Williams sisters changed the game for women of color, forever changing it as two little Black girls, and later as Black women, something that she felt was supposed to only happen to whites.
Serena Williams has upset people from the beginning. I'm talking about white people. The way she yelled while playing was for some. It was how they fit a body that tennis had never seen. Her being unbothered is the main reason.
You could hear the frustration in Chris Evert's voice. She couldn't rain on Serena's parade.
Court gave an interview after Serena's career was over. She couldn't stand by and allow this black woman to be adorned and given her flowers. She was able to make it about the things she went through. The plight of the Black woman is not important.
Court is not the first white woman to fault against Serena. It was always a weak narrative that too many in the media tried to sell the fake Rivalry with Maria Sharapova. When you were 2-20 against Serena, and the last time you beat her was a few months ago, you can't be her rival.
Jane Campion, who is from New Zealand, off the coast of Australia, decided to use her speech at the Critics Choice Awards to punch down at Serena and Venus, because she felt her plight against misogyny in filmmaking was greater than anything that two Black.
You are such marvels. You don't play against the guys like I have to.
It is similar to acrab in the barrel mentality. It is similar to the playground in this situation. Campion was the kid that the bully was cracking jokes on, but instead of addressing him, she directed her attention to the two kids that were laughing at him. This is how you make people white.
Campion will be footnotes in the story of Serena Williams and never the chapters they wanted to be. Margaret Court will be remembered as the woman who has "one more" than Serena, which is an amazing achievement.
Court craves so much love. It will never happen. Draymond Green had to remind Paul Pierce that like Margaret Court, he wouldn't be revered as much as Kobe Bryant.
They don't love you like that. There is no farewell tour. They don't like you like that. This applies as well.
