"Turning their backs on white mothers who raise them to be successful seems to be a common practice among non-blacks who want recognition as black achievers"

Hmmm.... Like Tiger Woods? (you know: the golfer with the Swedish blonde wife)

Woods has in the past jokingly called himself "Cablinasian" because, if you go to the grandparents generation, he has at least one white grandparent too.

I have NEVER heard him play the race card in any way shape or form. Yes, he complained about the way his father had been treated at 'whites only' golf courses decades ago. That's legit criticism. But asides from that, I can't recall him ever playing the 'card'.He is as purely American and nothing but as anyone can be.

And he says that his wife is even more competitive than he is. (Hard to believe).

I don't think Tiger's mother is white.
