WATCH Richard Williams defend 14-year old Venus Williams when a Reporter Asked Why She’s so Confident

Tennis champion Venus Williams‘ dad Richard Williams, in this video from when she was 14 came to her defence when a reporter asked why she was so confident.

“I know I can beat her…I’m very confident,” Venus said, smiling

The reporter then responded: “You say it so easily. Why?”

Venus then said: “Cause I believe it”

But Richard was already having none of it. He jumped in and said:

“You’ve got to understand that you’re dealing with [the] image of a 14-year-old child. And this child is gonna be out there playing when your old a** and me are gonna be in the grave.”

“You’re dealing with a little Black kid, and let her be a kid,” he added.

Kanye West, reacting to the clip, wrote on Twitter:

This is the confidence we need

Gabrielle Union, who also reacted to the video, wrote:

The goal was to get to doubt herself. To not be so confident. To break her. DO NOT LET THEM BREAK YOU. And do not let them break our children! Confidence rooted in excellence & by birth right. We were born worthy. Never forget that.
