Tiger likes white women... so what?

Black community spokespersons tell us the black community is offended that all of Tiger Woods' mistresses are white. I find the whole black spokesperson thing absurd. The media runs to Sharpton, Jackson and others to get the official black America take on hot issues. Are we a tribe? Are these guys our chiefs? By the way, who are the spokespersons for white America?

I am saddened that the sports icon is an adulterer and has destroyed his family and wholesome image. To the fact Tiger prefers white women, I say, so what? It is racist for these black liberal plantation overseers to make an issue of it. And how arrogant of them to think they can dictate who someone should date?

[Dallas59]

The man has his preferences. STD’s and HIV have no color.

[MagnoliaB]

What CAN Sharpton & Jesse say? Wasn’t this part of King’s dream that little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls?

[djf]

Lotta lonely sistas out there.

We need a government bailout.
Liberal Democratic CongressMen should apply to ease the suffering.

[gov_bean_ counter]

“Date”. He said “date”. Hahahaha!

Hey, I’m a 50+ yr old white guy. Why can’t I have a young, nubile blonde?

Ellen Degeneres has one...

[WellyP]

I don’t see the problem. I think I might even understand a little. You see, I just hate kinky, curly hair of any color. I don’t like it. for that reason I find white, Asian and S. Asian women the most attractive.

To the fact Tiger prefers white women, I say, so what?

Exactly. We really could enter a post-racial society, if the race hustlers would just shut up.

The flip side of all this is that 100 years ago, about the worst thing a black man could do (something which could easily get him lynched) would be to look at a white woman in a familar way. Well, today, white folks really don't care about stuff like that. I haven't heard or read of a single white person who thought skin color was an interesting factor in these incidents.

But the blacks folks sure seem hung up on the color issue.

[Joe Boucher]

Yeah,
And it is the off spring that suffers through the prejudices.

Something to think about:

Who's at fault here?

One black guy?

Or 5 8 12 16 (however many) white gals?

[Cronos]

Tiger isn’t black — he’s mixed-race. VERY mixed-race.

[FreeAtlanta]

I wish he had never had an affair, but I am grateful that they are not black. Especially, the first one that came out. Had he been cheating on his wife with a black women, then 95% of the black community would have fallen on their own swords for him. That is a truly sad, but true statement.

The blatant in everyone's face racism of the black community knows no shame. Defense of Michael Vick, OJ, other wealthy and or famous blacks from indefensible behavior by the black community in whole is belittle and damaging to everyone in all communities.

[doodad]

But the blacks folks sure seem hung up on the color issue.

Black women actually.

[Arthur McGowan]

Have any white leaders come forward, crowing about the fact that Tiger like only white women?

[djf]

What I’m pointing out is that IF Elin was black, NOBODY, absolutely NOBODY would blame her for ripping the lungs out of the beyotches.

There are sociological perspectives to this. It has long been lamented (sort of) by call them what you will, nerds, sensitive white guys, etc. that women for whatever reason are attracted by the more dangerous element.

It’s kinda like they are saying “I don’t care if he beats the hell out of me or leaves as long as his wallet is big enough and I have no way of controlling him.”

So, there are a lot of different things going on.
Do I blame Tiger?
Not my place to blame anyone.

Do I blame the starry-eyed gals?
Not my place to blame anyone.

Do I blame his wife and the mother of his children?
Not my place to blame anyone.

I don’t blame anyone. I blame all of them. The only commitment I see in the whole damn bunch is the almighty dollar.

After becoming rich OJ wouldn’t touch a black woman with a 10 foot pole. It didn’t hurt him with the black community. Maybe if Tiger had cut one of their throats...

[Fresh Wind]

It used to be that if a person had any amount of black blood in him, he was considered fully black. We are told that was a racist attitude.

Woods and Obama are partially black, but we are required to think of them as fully black. So, why isn’t that racist?

If Tiger Woods likes white women and has the money to pay for them, that’s his business.

There was a fascinating exchange on Hannity’s radio show the other day between a black man and a white woman on just this topic. I was amazed at the responses given by both parties. The man stated that this is an insult to black women because a significant number of successful black men don't want any thing to do with black women. The white woman responded by saying that this is a complete double standard and that it was a problem that black women would have to work out on their own. She also went on to state that if she saw a white man with a black woman her first thought would not be “well that should be me instead of her.”

I bring this up to show that there is a huge gulf on how race is viewed by various groups in society.

[sodpoodle]

The only speck of intelligent choice shown by Tiger Woods in his serial slumming......he shagged white skanky women for a reason!

A black wife would have killed his skeered little creme brulee *ss....and she would have sistas helping her hide them other broads’ bodies.

[djf]

Interesting idea. I can only add a question.

When black people dream about Angels (come on, sometimes they do) is the angel white or black?
I think the answer might help us unweave the mystery.

And it would not surprise me one single bit if the answer was what we are (mostly) inclined to think it is.
