Michelle Obama Sees Serena Williams to 1st Round Olympic Victory

   

*Serena Williams, all decked out in red, white and blue, had her own royal box on Wimbledon’s Centre Court today, during her 1st round match of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

First Lady Michelle Obama and three-time Olympian and gold medalist, Dominique Dawes joined Venus Williams and mother Oracene in watching the 14-time Grand Slam champion decisively take out Serbia’s Jelena Jankovic and to earn entry into tournament’s 2nd round.  It took just an hour for Williams to achieve the 6-3, 6-1 victory on the lush All England Club Centre Court lawn and to move one match closer to fulfilling her quest for winning her first gold medal in tennis singles (she and Venus own two Olympic gold medals for doubles).

The head-to-head for the two competitors, 4-4, indicated the possibility of a tough match for Williams – who’s been dubbed the tournament favorite, but it turns out that was just on paper.  The two had never before met on grass, which is the recent Wimbledon champion’s strongest surface and she was in dominant form from the start.

Williams closed out the match – to rousing applause from the first lady, who open professes her love for tennis – with 8 aces and 20 winners.

If Serena Williams, currently ranked world no. 4, secures the Olympic gold medal in singles, she will have completed the coveted Career Golden Slam, which is when a tennis player wins all four Grand Slam tournaments and the Olympic gold medal during his or her career.

      • Taurusingr says:

        Yeah…that shyt was stupid,racist AND….”self-serving”!!

  2. Taurusingr says:

    Whyyyyyyyy?, should Weeeeeee?, help this country “win”, when they don’t/won’t “share the victory” WITH…… “Us”!? Lights Outs!!

  3. Now…now…Calm down. As long as we have our beautiful black FLOTUS there, everything is alright.What if the slaves had your viewpoint? They endured and survived. We have to do the same and our very best. There will be a better day.

    • Taurusingr says:

      Yo….the slaves DID have “my” viewpoint, “that’s” why MANY…”ran the fk away”! And after all this “holding hands & singin “We Are The World” n shyt?, but STILL not being “included IN the world” we’re sangin iiiiiiiiiin!?? A “change of viewpoint” is DEFINITELY in order! It’s waaaay past “calm down”, “that’s” whyyyyyyyy We are still where we are…unrespected! NO one gets respect by “aaaaaaasking” for it! Everyone who haaaaaas it? DEMANDED it! And what “incentive” does the person have for “giving” that respect, when THEY are the ones DISrespecting you!!?? “They”?, are just “fiiiiiiine”, with HTF things are! No one in dey right miiiiiiiind would tell a battered woman, to “ask” huh huuuuuuuzband to respect huh, after he dun whooped huh azz for yeeeeeeeras!!!, That husband nor the USA has ANY intention of changing their minds/ways!!!, & It’s the SAME damn thang, goin ‘on, mayn!, so why should it be ANY different for…”Us”!!?? The prollum eeahh?, mofo’s are just “comfortable” with how things are, b/c they know no difference! TRUST!, if peeps knew HTF if feels to “truly” be respected?, they would neeeeeeeevva go/come back to” THIS shyt heeah”, .. KNOW this!!! And the lil progress We as Black people haaaaaaave achieved?, has ONLY come from a FEW of Us….DEMANDING A CHANGE! So……”that” is the ONLY “viewpoint” We shouuuuuuuld have! Lastly I’ll say this….to do the same thang, the same way, & expect a differentt result?, is the definition of…”insanity”! And?….to expect an UNchanged,UNremorseful, NOTORIOUS “burgular”, to “giiiiiiiiive” back to you, what they have STOLEN FROM you!??, is some major STUpid shyt, right thurr! Now…I’m not sayin you are crazy OR stupid, I’m just saaaaaaayin! Lights Out!!! (but hollah, though!) Ps…being/remanding “calm”?, is JUST WTF YT wants Us to do, & “I” say…FK YT AND their…”viewpoint”!

      • Taurusingr says:

        And…the fact that you didn’t/couldn’t address my issues or question regarding Us surviving & “enduring enough”!?? Yeah you just exposed WTF YOU are. No Black person “couuuuld or wouuuuuld “let that go”! It’s interesting that/how YALL always tryyyyyyy to label “Us” WTF “yall” are! I’m not full of hate, sissy (STILL winking!), I’m just tired of YALL’S/YOUR people’s hate, toward MY people!!! But I know I know…you caint relate,c/z…”It’s a BLACK thang!! Yeah…just like the Repubs & all dey “moles” & followers, you can’t respond or admit the truth about shyt, nor do you have an …alternative solution. So YOUR “limited vocab”. & immaturity?, makes sense, I guess. Go grow up, grow some fkn balls & “learn” to except & deal with….reality. And the reality eeaah?…the USA USES Us (Black/my people!) & ONLY excepts & or SEES Us AS “Americans”,in the fkn…Olympics!!! So…We should use “that” time, while ERRYone is watching to address issues the USA NOR azz kissin Toms like yourself will EVVA find it worthy enough to…. “get around to”! So take that “don’t worry be happy shyt, back to the next “Chicken George” meeting! The End..(maybe!) In the meeeeantiiiiime?, “DN”!

    • Taurusingr says:

      So ….you don’t THINK we’ve “survived & endured” ….enoUGH!!?? The only way progress/change is made, is when a mofo “declares”…”ENOUGH”!, enough enduring & are tired OF what they have had to….”survive”. All Day!!!

  4. While boycotting the Olympics to highlight discrimination may seem a noble gesture, in the long run, it would more likely do more harm to the athlete while hardly having any effect on racism. We don’t expect our elected officials, including the POTUS to do anything, so why should the athlete jeopardizes his career? Professional tennis is one thing, but track and field athletes are totally dependent on the Olympics to determine their commercial value. You go into the Olympics as an unknown and win a marquee event as the 100 meters, and the next day you are a huge star commanding huge appearance fees. In a racist system as America, athletics and sports are few of the disciplines in which the black man can make his mark and his earnings. Whitey find so many other ways to screw us and there is no guarantee that this show of protest would make much difference. Look what happened to the guys back in the sixties Olympics. Racism continued unabated and their career were ruined. On the other hand, athletes who has a large worldwide profile based on their athletic prowess can use their voice to speak out against the system. But you staying home, whitey media will just ignore you and move on to the willing participant, probably white, who won’t say shit anyway.

  5. Taurusingr says:

    Yall take note & yall already KNOW!!, that only a mole,racist, YT or “Tom”, would have any oppostition TO boycotting! Like ask these mofo’s…WHEN do “they” feel it’s the “right tiiiiiime”?, & watch dey bytchazzes “cricket tha fk up”!!! CHuuuuuuuch!

    • First, go back to school and get a GED. You can do it! You present yourself in a very ignorant way with very limited vocabulary. You are full of hate. Be grateful for what we have accomplished. If you are still not happy, you go hide in a cave and don’t participate in this world. We are moving forward. Snap!

      • Some people don’t have a fucking clue. If you think white people would give a fuck if Serena boycott the Olympics. Them crackas cheer for a foreigner even when she’s playing in the US Open. Look back at her singles match at Wimbledon and compare the response when she gets a point compared to that chick she beat. And then to expect an athlete to give up his Olympics dream at a futile attempt to spite white people, who won’t give a fuck anyway, and won’t change their ways. For you to make a statement against racism, you have to have the media’s ear. The only way you are going to accomplish that is by being an accomplished athlete. Even the guys who gave the black fist protest, were only able to make a point after gaining a place on the podium. Go to the Olympics, win a medal, then you have a literal and figurative platform from which to make a statement against racism.

  8. @Taurus You can go back to a place, sit in mud and have flies flying around your head while waiting for a bowl of rice. We will do the best we can where we are.Always remember that it could be worse. Go eat some delicious kfc original recipe and be happy.

  9. It’s obvious that some people got their head so tightly stuck up there ass that they don’t have time to think before spewing senseless drivel on this website on a daily basis. For someone to suggest that a black athlete should forgo the Olympics, thinking that he is sending a message to white people, then that mofo obviously don’t have a clue about African American culture. I’m wondering if these dumb asses would suggest for a minute that Lebron, Kobe, Vick or RGIII should forgo football or basketball to send a message to white people. To a black athlete like Tyson Gaye who runs the 100 meters, competing in the Olympics is tantamount to Lebron playng in the NBA. That’s how they get paid. No, you are not paid to compete in the Olympics, but your performance in the Olympics in track and field events will determine your paycheck for the next four years while running at paid events.

    Assuming that these people are even black, it’s obvious that they allow themselves to be controlled by whites in the most self destructive manner. White people never got over blacks breaking the color barrier and start getting paid as professional athletes. The most racist whites would still prefer to see the Olympics, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, golf, tennis … with no blacks. But some blacks are such simpletons that they would unknowingly allow the white man to control their thinking to that extent.

    • Taurusingr says:

      You can post all the cuss words & observe WTF “We” do aaaaaall you want. But that STILL won’t change the fact that….you’z not “one of Us”, okaaaaaaay!? Yo name my be “Reds”?, but you aint a….”colored gurl”. NOW!!!! ( said like “B. Cosby”, yall!) …Goooooooooe?, caaaaaaaash?, daaaaaaaaat, CHEHHHHHHHHCK!!!!!!, “Wilona”!!! “DN” yah racist fkn mole!!!

      • You are a pathetic little man Taurus and I’m beginning to feel really sorry for you. You been trying to convince yourself that I’m not black ever since Obama became president and blacks with self esteem like me started calling him out for the fraud he is. Ironically, you never had any issues with my posts before. :lol: You are so confused. Sometimes you say I’m a Tom other times you don’t seem able to make up your mind. So in the severely paranoid mind that is Taurusingr, I’m anything from black, to mixed to white. And it all depends on who I choose to criticize. I guess I’m a chameleon whose color depends on my mood. :lol:

        You are a joke man. I feel nothing but pity for you, because no matter how much you wish it, and foam at the mouth proclaiming it, the FACT remains that I’m black and will always be. And unlike you, I will NEVER support the actions of a half breed mulatto like Obama, or a skin bleacher like Michael Jackson who specializes in kissing whitey ass. Look at what Michael Jackson did and the embarrassment it now presents for his family and blacks in general. To go and unnaturally spawn not one, but three white kids, presenting them to be his own. All in his futile attempt to escape his blackness. As if when he passes on, and folks see his “children”, they will see him also as white. This the type of sick shyt a low self esteem so called black like you supports. In another thread, when I and someone suggested that the embarrassing dilemma the Jacksons find themselves in is all the fault of Michael and his sick obsession with white people, you were the first one to go to his defense.

        People like you, Michael Jackson and that half breed in the WH are what’s responsible for keeping back the race. It’s obvious you have a thing for these “exotic” negroes. If Obama was a real black man and not a half breed, most of you low self esteem coons wouldn’t be so defensive of him. Imagine a black man suggesting that black athletes should not compete at the Olympics, knowing how hard they tried in the past to keep us from any high profile sporting events, and all the opportunities, financial and otherwise, it presents in a world which still tries to limit us in any way they can.

        You are joke, and it’s a pity that because of this amazing tool called the internet, buffoons like you can spew your garbage for the whole non black world to see, embarrassing us just like that sick phuck Michael Jackson.

          Booooooooooo booooooooooooooo boooooooooooooooooo and so on and so on and so on…….MOLE!!//FAKE/RACIST/Wilona whatEVVA, take yo pick. DN trick!

        • Taurusingr says:

          And to all your responses?, lalalalalalalalalalalalala (with “fingers in my ears”, y’all!) FOH!

        • Taurusingr says:

          And WTF are you “spittin ‘on MJ”!!?? Again…WTF did HE have to do with the subject at hand….”boycotting”, why NOT at the Olypics”!?? You’s a dizzy azz cow, huh!?? GD!! Siiiiiiigh/yarrrrrrrn!

  10. like Arthur replied I am shocked that a student able to earn $9035 in four weeks on the internet. have you seen this web link N u T T y R i c h D o t C o m

  11. Taurusingr says:

    Yeah bytch azzes can resite all the irrelevant BS they want, but NEVVA have a fkn alternative to WTF they “go so hard against”! “MJ”!??? WTF doesn’t He have to do with ANY “athletes” OR WTF I posted regarding ….boycotting or the legitimacy OF….boycotting! Fkn Toms and Moles, repeating the YT “talking points” they have been paaaaaaid to infiltrate any & EVERYwhere they sneak dey dumb, weak, “Stefford” azzes into. And they THINK “We” don’t seeeeee dat shyt, too!! Just another reflection of the disrespect & insulting of Our intelligence they THINK they’re “getting away with. But I guess, in this economy?…”a check is a “check”. Naaaaw FK dat! These bytches would “kiss massa’s azz fuh…FREE!!! That’s how fkd up dey are. Saaaaaad yo, fkn saaaaaaad. Fkn Stockholm” muthafkahs. Ok…..”I’m done”! (said like C. Breezy!) Chuuuuuuch/Lights Owwwwwwwwwwt/!!!

  12. Going hard against MJ?!

    That’s got to be the biggest understatement with regards to black people.

    We have tolerated Michael Jackson and his disdain for our color throughout the years. I for one have defended him more than anyone on this board. Form the child molestation extortion attempt to when Obama dissed him when he died. But there got to be a limit. No self-respecting black person could be expected to show any tolerance for what he did by unnaturally spawning those white kids, along with the predicament and embarrassment that it’s now causing his family and black people in general.

    But I guess it wouldn’t be an issue for a low self-esteem house negroe, assuming that you are even black. But keep on doing whitey’s bidding, like your mentors – that half white mofo in the WH and that whitey wannabe MJ. Keep on talking that bullshyt about blacks needing to boycott the Olympics. That’s exactly what whitey wants. Simple minded buffoons like you fit the Willy Lynch theory to a t and are their best ally.
