They both look beautiful. I’m amazed how far folks will reach to find something to insult them on. Corns??? For real? What athlete do you know with perfect feet? None I’m sure. That’s what’s wrong with people today. Want celebrities to be these perfect beings but I’m sure some of yall walking around looking like “whodunit” SMH

I BELIEVE THE WILLIAMS SISTERS ARE AGENTS OF THE ILLUMINATI THAT HAVE BEEN SENT INTO MAINSTREAM MEDIA THROUGH THE GUISE OF ATHLETICS, TO PERPETUATE HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THEIR MUSCULAR PHYSIQUES ARE AN ATTEMPT TO LURE BLACK MEN INTO HOMSEXUAL FANTASYS AND ALLOWING THEIR TOUGHT PROCESS TO BE INFULTRATED BY GAY THOUGHTS . HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT THEM AND NOT THINK OF SEXUAL ENCPOUTNERS WITH SPORTS FAMOUS MALE ATHLETES. I KNOW I CAN’T.
I WILL HAVE YOU TO KNOW I AM DOING INTENSE RESEARCH IN ATLANTA ON THE SUBJECT .

First of all the answer to the bunions is………………………….Can anybody say, buy
borrow, closed in evening shoes, sling backs, any type of shoe except the open toe. In the world of fashion you do not have to show your flaws. It is now way in hell I would be on anybodys carpet red, blue or green with my bunions showing. It’s just wrong. I always thought Serena and Venus is getting the girl from across the street to come over and curl their hair and borrow a dress. Tennis queens
is where it starts and end at with these sisters for me, not any place else.

ALL I KNOW IS, VENUS WILLIAMS IS AN AGENT OF THE ILLUMINATI. HER BOYFRIEND COMMON, IS ONE FO THE WORST OFFENDERS, HE IS PART OF THE PLOY TO PERPETUATE HOMOSEXUALITY INT HE BLACK COMMUNITY, AND CONFUSE ABLE BODIED BLACK MEN LIEK MY SELF INTO CONFLICTING FEELINGS, WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK COMMON FEELS THE NEED TO BE SO ATTRACTIVE, IT’S A CONSPIRACY.

ANY FOOL CAN SEE THAT THE SPORTS WORLD IS AN UNDERCOVER PERPETUATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, THEY SUE YOUNG ABLE BODIED AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN TO ENVOKE HOMOSEXUAL THOUGHTS IN THE MIND OF HETEROSEXUAL MEN SUCH AS MY SELF. I AM DOING UNDERCOVER RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECT AS WE SPEAK.
ANY FOOL CAN SEE THIS UNLESS THEY GOT TO YOUR BLACK ASS TOO……IT’S A CONSPIRACY.

They’re not too attractive to me; to be quite honest.
And that first picture is NOT flattering for venus.
Serena still looks like a Tranny to me. She looks like one of those manly girls whose Mother dresses them for prom.
It’s obvious she’s trying EXTRA hard to be lady-like.

Judah, please sit down somewhere. We are talking about dresses ESPYS and corns….. Bring that sh*t up another day, no disrespect. And Serena has corns, don’t get me wrong, I posted earlier. But if I had half of her money I wouldn’t care where I had corns at, feel me?! I’m pretty sure she took a look at her dogs before she got there….

Tennis is one of the most physically challenging sport that you can play.No time out,no half time,on top of the surfaces (grass,clay,and hard court)in which the game is played.They have been playing for twenty years,so cut them some slack on having bad feet.

Judah, why are you blaming your homosexual tendencies and desires on the Williams sisters and Common?
Anyways, with all the things these women have accomplished through sheer hard work and dedication I won’t be talking sh*t about them. They dealt with and still deal with a lot of BS from white and black folk but they’re still doing the damn thing. They are inspirational imo. Physical shallow shit be damned, they made their success.

Judah, man please. Just admit you’re gay. No need to make up conspiracy theories to excuse the fact that you are attracted to men. Nobody can force a man’s booty hole to like dyck. Trying to use the black community’s homophobia, a very low class move. Go suck a dyck and STFU, I give you permission. BTW, Venus and Serena look smokin. Those ladies are just on another level like Oprah. I expect them to be on par with her when in about 10 or 20 years.

What The @##$%@
Thursday, July 16, 2009 /
judah are you sure you arent gay because everytime someone is on here especially the black entertainers you are shouting about how they are trying to make evryone gay. now i know when most men look at those women they see beautiful WOMEN not men, so i am thinking you have some underlying issues there. plus any male i know that likes to look at them are straight. but i have to admit you are funny tho lol….
73.
What The @##$%@
Thursday, July 16, 2009 /
people can hate but those girl are doing the damn thang. and for the people that got a problem with serena’s feet can i ask you something? can you do what she does, on a court for hours on end running back and forth and swing as hard as you can. obviously not since i dont see in these pics. oh and also apparently someone is feeling her (ie common) so stop trying to find imperfection in other people and focus on yourselves, you mindless chickens lol. yall kill me.

I AM NOT GAY, IT’S JUST RESEARCH MY BROTHA, JUST RESEARCH, AND IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING OTHER THEN THAT, THEN THEY WOULD BE LIES. I DIDN’T EVEN LIKE IT THAT MUCH SO FORGET WHAT YORU HEARD. STAY BLACK.
