Serena Williams and her sister Venus became tennis legends for their amazing results and because they had to get them often fighting racism. A horrible episode has recently happened in the US where Buffalo Radio Host, Rob Lederman, was fired after some racist comments about Serena Williams
“I will never go to a Serena Williams”
Lederman talking at The Morning Bull Podcast when he said. “We have (our toaster settings) at the attractiveness of women that I find to be attractive, so I will never go to a Serena Williams level,” Lederman commented.
“But I am very comfortable at a Halle Berry level. I need a little bit of ‘mulatto’ still coming through. Gayle King is not even on my toaster level.”
Halle Berry was not flattered at all about the comments to call out Lederman, branding his comments as ‘disgusting’ and ‘ridiculous.’
Disgusting. It’s ridiculous this type of nonsense is still being broadcasted across airwaves. ALL Black women are beautiful and worthy, Rob Lederman. GTFOH. https://t.co/9qMrLysjy2
