		<description>I almost barfed when I first saw the cover.  How sick and ugly is this?  I do NOT find this appealing.  I rather look at poop in a toilet.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, it&#039;s culminated in a point where the exchange no longer concerns Serena.</description>

So you are saying it is ok with harsh language against someone &quot;white&quot; but not against an African-American? Because we have to be ethnically tolerant? That view is very patronizing against African-Americans in my opinion. I agree some comments where not very tasteful and a bit harsh, but not because of Serenas skin colour. It would have been equally harsh if it was Sharapova or Zheng Jie.

Firstly I did not implicate anything of such sort, I find that it&#039;s very unoriginal to extend the generalisations of others on this blog, don&#039;t you? I don&#039;t you who you are or what you do, but I do know that you must live on another planet, if you don&#039;t understand the concept of &#039;Silent racism&#039;, it&#039;s all around us and even if it wasn&#039;t as evident in the responses here, I don&#039;t think you need to google Serena or Venus Williams to know that even though they&#039;re probably the best female tennis players of all time, their fan popularity and overall response is pale in contrast to underachievers like Ana Ivanovic or even Wozniacki. 

Don&#039;t be so naiive, &#039;it is patronising&#039;, if my comment is patronising, then the whole of America must be racist, and we all know that it is not. 

It&#039;s not like you&#039;ve never heard of racism against Venus or Serena, so don&#039;t act like that was an out-of-this-world completely ridiculous statement, because it isn&#039;t and people on here need to be sensitive to that. 

People on this site, need to realise that in the 21st century, you can&#039;t just say you&#039;re with such backward notions such as &#039;I live in a multi-cultral society and interact with all races. I am the least racist person out there and promote other ethnicites and beliefs. In fact I LOVE Venus and Black&#039; just after spitting out &#039;Serena disgusts me just like that, but nude just makes me want to throw up!! 

I DID NOT IMPLY YOU WERE A RACIST, FOR THE LAST TIME. But funny you should automatically assume that it&#039;s what I implied, a guilty mind, perhaps? 

I don&#039;t believe you are a racist, because racism would entail so much more than just &#039;disgusting&#039; comments, I&#039;m sure. But as I said earlier, you must tone down on the harsh language, it is disgusting in nature and is not a very nice comment to make overall, and to some very conservative people, it may scream racism. 

Thus I certainly hope I misunderstood you.</description>
