Serenity, that was a beautiful letter.

Sorry everyone, I can't even find a valid email on their site. I'm going to call tomorrow and try to get another.

I'm not surprised that these young, beautifull sistahs would be receiving hate mail after being the ones viciously insulted. Venus and Serena get hatemail for being champion tennis court players, from Americans!

These young ladies have to be strong, I don't feel sorry them at all. The threats to them should not be taken to lightly but they ought to be laughing at the hatemail they receive... they ought to get together and share laughter with comrads, family and friends alike.

Women playing a game and now they are being hated on. Oops they didn't know they were always hated on because of the color of their skin. I hear some of them are stunned at the reaction they are receiving. I guess they did not get taught as the majority of our children about racism white supremacy. This is what happens when we teach our children that things are different and the only racist are skin heads and klan members.
Unfortunately, this is true. It amazes me how mindless and racist some people can be. I guess they are blaming the ball players for Imus being fired. How pathetic. Just when you thought they had all faded in the 50's and 60's with the White Citizens Council and George Rockwell.

Come on now, folks. Let's keep all this in perspective. According to what I've been able to find out, the "hate mail" the basketball team received amounted to....

"' 'two or three e-mails'' but had also received ''over 600 wonderful e-mails.''

Imus' wife: Stop hate mail to Rutgers team | KATU - Portland, Oregon | Entertainment

Seems to me the REAL story is the enormous support these women have received across the nation by no doubt people of all colors.

Gotta love this country we live in? Absolutely! If only we could stop trying to portray ourselves as victims of the white man at every opportunity....

I can't beleive any black man would sit here and make light of this. I don't care if it was one email. It's egregious and indefensible. likewise is your defense of this act.

No one's making light of "this act" or defending it, but two or three hate e-mails just aren't significant compared to the 600 supportive e-mails the basketball players received. Those who sent the two or three e-mails are to be condemned but in the larger scheme of things, in my opinion the hate e-mails aren't even worthy of news coverage.

The focus on the two or three rather than the 600 is an example of how we sometimes ignore positive news in order to play the race/victim card. Eventually we'll come to understant it's a low card with little value.
