Way back in my early teens, I was into golf. I remember one of the mags had article on "slow play" by Lee Trevino.

I'm pretty sure he was echoing complaints about mostly [white] guys that spend ten minutes lining up each putt as if it was going to the final stroke that would win them a green jacket if they sink the ball.

Because an ancestor up to almost 500 years ago may have been abused on what came to be and then was U. S. soil.

Never mind that we have no idea who has slave related ancestors or not, the important thing is that the U. S. is demanded to hang it’s head in shame even though other nations brought slaves here for up to 150 years before we became a nation.

Never mind that none of those other nations answer for slavery in the slightest, these days. Yes, try to forget that roughly 5% of the world’s African origination slaves wound up in the United States. At 5% we get 100% of the blame and the 95% get a free pass.

Never mind that people of African heritage have come here of their own free will also.

This isn’t about equality, reparations, or anything else. it’s about slandering the United States far beyond the time any other nations have been trashed for participating in it.

Never mind also that we have had a welfare system since the mid 1960s that we designed to end poverty.

Yes, we’re the great Satan. Seeking to help the poor enter society and find the same success so many other immigrants and citizens have, we today still have people tied to welfare for generations.

The Irish, the Hispaics, the immgrants from all over the world whether brought here for slavery or not, have made a pretty good showing, lifting themselves out of poverty in many instances.

None of them get the play the slavery card. Frankly, not many of them really needed to. They got industrious and fended for themselves.

It sure would be nice to think that at the 150th anniversary after slavery was abolished, some folks would acknowledge it and move on.

Alas, 1150 years after slavery, there will still be race hustlers out there, beating the bushes for more recognition and government goodies.

What a shame...

I've played a lot of golf, probably at more than a hundred different courses. Once, in FL, we were playing behind a REALLY slow foursome and it became clear they were not going to let us play through...it happens. While waiting on the tee at one hole, I pointed out to the other guys in my group a circle of a half dozen buzzards overhead and posed the question: "I wonder what died?" Without pause, one of the guys said: "The foursome in front of us."

Why do black people not have to abide by the same rules everyone else does?


Black Privilege ...

“Golf etiquette would dictate you allow faster players to “play through”.”

LOL. I suppose “golf etiquette” also says I shouldn’t park my cart on the green. :)

Is it possible the females in question were just plain assholes and they decided they didn’t need the headache and threw them out?

Golf is all about etiquette and rules.

Those days are long gone, the mere name of the game tells us that

Some times slow ply can be legit:_
_*”Bad day at the course,” a guy tells his wife. “Charlie had a heart attack on the third hole.”

“That’s terrible!” she says.

“You’re telling me. All day long, it was hit the ball, drag Charlie.”

You don’t ask permission to play around someone. You tell them you are doing it

A reporter a couple of years ago asked PK Suban what it was like for an African- American to play in the NHL; he said, but I’m Canadian.

People call the police because they don’t have the strength, willingness or patience to deal with confrontation and assert their property or privacy rights. So they let the cops do it for them.

Of course, they don’t realize that such rights are now secondary in America.

I wouldn’t take it at all as racial thing.

The first thing I was taught when learning to play golf, before I even touched a club, was etiquette. I guess expecting black people to take part in civilized behavior is too much.
