Not giving Tiger an excuse but being a wealthy good looking successful celebrity that he is, it would be extremely hard for any man to ignore or say no to the probably thousands of women that aggressively pursue him.

It's like a drug addition, after the 1st one the rest are easy to say yes to.

Tiger should have just gotten himself some very expensive, high end call girls and kept it purely a business relationship.

I love that show...it amuses me to no end the lengths people go to when they're unhappy in a relationship...JUST LEAVE. No it makes much more sense to go to prison for life than be embarassed by getting divorced a second time.

Ask an Asian man about Asian women and I think you'll find your assertion not to be true. But I do agree with you that most people marry others of the same race...and that includes black men, contrary to popular misconceptions.

I remember that article where Jada Pinkett said that basically it is unrealistic to be married to someone who is rich and or famous and not expect some level of infidelity. Her and Will Smith have an open marriage, and I would be willing to bet that allot more actors, athletes and the like are involved in those as well. I’ve been to quite a few music and sports industry parties in my day and the number of women who literally throw themselves at celebrities is mind blowing. And those women run the gamut from couch potatoe bums to lawyers and doctors, white, black, asian, whatever, they come in all types and shades.

Exactly! And like I said before, I wouldn't be surprised if Tiger snagged a couple of lawyers or doctors in the mix of women he's had access to. "Decency" has nothing to do with it; especially for single women, if you have the looks and don't mind sleeping around, you might as well do it up big.

Wow. Some of the side pieces are saying he didn't use protection, nor did he want to.

The Associated Press: Tiger's troubles widen his distance from blacks

"The Grinch's Theme Song" didn't stop there: "The question everyone in America wants to ask you is, how many white women does one brother waaant?"

"There are two layers of suspicion toward him," Van Kerkhove said. "One toward the apparent pattern in the race of his partners, and the second in the way he sees himself. ... People have been giving him the side-eye for a while."

"Had Barack had a white wife, I would have thought twice about voting for him," Johnson Cooper said.

"There is a call for loyalty that is stronger in some ways than in other racial communities," said the author of the study, George Yancey, a sociology professor at the University of North Texas and author of the book "Just Don't Marry One."


Why does it matter who you date or marry? Come on people!

Edit:

I should also add that I am a big golf fan, and have been a big tiger woods fan even since high school. Even though I am disappointed in what he did, I will still support him if he continues to play well on the greens.
The guy cheated on his wife. WTF...thank god that isn't my problem. People always have to make this a "race" issue. I figure anyone b--tching about it is probably jealous because it didn't happen to them.

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?

I beg to differ....black folks have always tried to claim Tiger. More and more black children are told to explore golf as a sport and to use Tiger as their example. It's all because he looks like them on the outside.

But Tiger has neeeeeeeeeever claimed black people in return. He oviously hates his black roots. You can tell by the women we are now seeing.

I'm actually glad that no sista' was involved with this clown.

Oh that is a lame excuse sorry

Look at Patrick Swazye, Al Pacino to name a couple they were and are very succussful and you dont or didnt hear about them cheating

Grant there is many in hollyweird that does cheat doesnt mean we should make excuses for their bad behavior.If he was so unhappy with his wife while she was carrying his child. He should have left her.

This is all utterly made up. There are NO CASES 'blacks distancing themselves from tiger woods'.

1. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT BEES, they dont have a hive mind, despite what the "Don Black SF'ers" here would have people think. They dont all think as one.

2. Its HILARIOUS how 1 second the 'evil liberal anti-white AP' is being attacked by far righties, then the next second they run to it cheering. Make up your mind, is it unreliable or the perfect news source? lol
