To all my followers who don’t follow tennis and are wondering why this is important, Serena and Venus were unfairly treated at Indian Wells. The last time Serena played at this venue was in the 2001 final. She won, but she was booed throughout and racist slurs were thrown at both her and her family because Venus pulled out of their semifinal match. Venus and Serena boycotted the tournament since then. 14 years later, Serena decided to return. She was rightfully apprehensive and unsure what the crowd would be like, but she was welcomed on the court for her first match with a standing ovation. That’s why both she and her family are in tears.

The torch is not faked, but it was used in a protest. YES, A PROTEST. THIS IS NOT A PHOTO OF CHILDREN ABOUT TO BE BURNT.
As you can see the children in this photo, as well as the one above this one, are holding posters. What do these say?
“Stop the killing of children.”
The stunt was created by activists calling for atrocities committed by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to be likened to those of ISIS.
The protest is trying to draw attention to the fact that many Syrians, including large numbers of children, are still dying because of government military action. So continue your debates about color-blindness and the dress, but still this doesn’t mean we should keep on with our lives thinking “Oh, they weren’t actually burnt, so I can feel better!”
Here are some places you can donate to HELP children in Syria, and also to spread awareness about the brutalities these children face;
