Yawn ... shouldn't this be moved to the Blue and Gray board?

Stop playing the innocent fool. You know perfectly well what "depending upon the victim/perpetrator" means. If Serena Williams was white, "Eric Holder" would not be the title of this thread. Then what would the title be? "Serena Williams?"

Then what would the title be? "Serena Williams?" That would be racist.

You're asking what the thread title would be if Serena Williams was white. Is the Myles Brand thread title racist because he's white?

I don't care what color anyone is. I do care about what someone does and says. Serena was out of line. If Clijsters or Sharapova or Evert or Navritalova had said the same thing, they would have been just as wrong, regardless of what the title to this thread was.

Sharapova is never wrong. ;D

Serena was wrong in this instance, and has admitted as much. But the behavior she showed was not the norm for her, which is why I refuted Elvado's statement that Serena is a classless bully. One incident doesn't define a person's character.

Or Michael Vick.
Ok, well ... maybe not.
