Should Serena Williams give free tennis lessons to teenagers in the worst gang-run neighborhoods of Chicago's South Side?

I was thinking: what if Serena--who is about to be named the best women's tennis player of all time, became a role model for thousands of young kids who belong to gangs and end up sadly, living a life of crime? What if she could teach them tennis--and while instructing them on the various on-court skills, she could teach them how to develop the attitude and skills needed for success in the real world beyond the borders of the ghetto?

    Privilege, South Carolina? Hmmmm.....I thought she was from Florida. Well, Bill Clinton is from Hope, Arkansas, so I guess you could be right, Your Fanciness.

    Although--I suspect you are wrong....for according to this--her father was a former sharecropper from Louisiana. I don't think that qualifies as "privilege". Although now, she is certainly way beyond privileged!!

    Serena Williams comes from privilege...why would you assume she would be suited to instruct ghetto kids?
