Funny isn't it? Usually it's the other way around, i.e. Obama. A person is mixed, multiracial, or part white until they mess up, then they are simply black.

A man of Tiger's wealth and fame can get plenty of "decent women". The price may be higher for some women but believe me, Tiger can afford it. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he pulled a female lawyer or something. Please don't kid yourself that only poor, gold digging women engage in indecent proposals.

Why? If I want to talk about race or discrimination, who are you to tell me that I shouldn't? Seriously.

As far as the jokes on Tom Joyner's show...black comedians make fun of everyone...every week Huggie Lowdown comes on and gives a rundown of the current events and name a bama of the week. Everything else in that story "if obama had married a white woman" and the measure of blackness are just too stupid for words.

I wasn't there at the scene. But the above comment is plain stupid. I believe Mrs. Woods hit Tiger with a 9 Iron on his wig. That made him run to the vehicle crash an pass out. White women can kick ssa too.
White women will kill your ass...the most a sister would have done was messed up the car and told your mama how sorry you are

Common sense dictates that a man of his means would be able to select from a better class of women. However, obviously, that wasn’t his preference.

I’m not sure what gave you the impression that I believe only “gold digging women engage in indecent proposals.†I have already stated that decent women of any socio-economic status do not engage in such activities. The operative word being. . . decent. Socio-economic status is certainly not a determinant of morality; as evidenced by the behavior of the likes of Paris Hilton, et al.

This is true. After all, isn’t that what ALL comedians do? Why should Tiger be off-limits?

BTW, Huggy Lowdown is funny as hell.

No matter what race or color he is, he'll always be seen as a cheater.

I know that it will not be popular to say but there are some Black people (and other races too but we are talking about Blacks) that marry interracially and have interracial children in an attempt to wash away the Blackness.

For the most part, the Black community doesn't really see Tiger Woods as "Black" because he doesn't really see himself as "Black" - who he chose as mistresses reflects that fact - not that chosing Black women to cheat with would have been any source of pride either.

Tiger Woods also didn't cheat with any Asian women either, are they supposed to be "upset" now, too?
The same counts for Michael Jackson...he wasn't seen as black to most people, but more like an artists, just like Tiger is first and for most seen as a golfer...people don't always talk about race, more about what they are doing...

The same counts for Barack Obama, he is a bad president notthing to do with his race just with his actions and no experience so we can't really blame him but his voters...!

You're right. He wasn't looking for another wife though. Like most men in these situations, all he wanted was a freak in the sheets who can keep her mouth shut. He already has (had) his "public wife".

WTH?

Tiger Woods has never labeled himself as black. Matter of fact, he made it clear that he is not, on more than one occasion. We aren't distancing ourselves from anyone. He created the distance with his words many years ago.

Tiger's drama has nothing to do with black people, his race, or the race of his wife. He messed up and got caught. Obviously something else is going on since he "messed up" with a boatload of women, time and time again.

Some people slay me. Since Obama showed himself a formidable opponent during the primaries, all of a sudden black people have all this power and influence. LMAO.
