I vividly remember when she was trying to date black men were the first to bash her, disregard, and treated her like was second best but now she with someone who puts her on a pedestal and just so happens to be white and black men coming out the woodwork’s with their think pieces

Her legacy is solely due to her talent, and not who she married or didn't marry. pic.twitter.com/dJzY4xQ2n6

With all due disrespect, shut up! Her legacy is not dependent upon who she chose as a partner. She’s Serena Williams. Her legacy stand on her own. You’re coming off as bitter and it’s not a good look.

Serena Williams is one of the greatest and most accomplished athlete in the world ever…male or female…and you’re critiquing her legacy based on who she married?? Slow day? Come on man…

This is literally the most trivial tweet that I've read all day. Serena has more than earned the recognition to be one the world's greatest athletes long before she ever met her husband. Keep that same energy for all the black male athletes that marry outside their race 🤡
