'A Preservation Thing': Tiger Woods' marital woes widen his distance from African-Americans
StarTribune.com ^ | 12/5/09 | Jesse Washington/AP

Amid all the headlines generated by Tiger Woods' troubles — the puzzling car accident, the suggestions of marital turmoil and multiple mistresses — little attention has been given to the race of the women linked with the world's greatest golfer.

Except in the black community.

When three white women were said to be romantically involved with Woods in addition to his blonde, Swedish wife, blogs, airwaves and barbershops started humming, and Woods' already tenuous standing among many blacks took a beating.

On the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner radio show, Woods was the butt of jokes all week.

I didn't know that Slash was AA, either. I thought he was Italian.

I guess I'm clueless.

Let’s see. Tiger wrecked his pimped up Cadillac, cheated on his white babymomma and then ran away from the police.
I would think this would increase his racial authenticity.

It’s my understanding that GM owns the Cadillac.

“Tiger Woods’ marital woes widen his distance from African-Americans”

The headline fooled me. I thought it was going to be about infidelity in general, which would make no sense. Approximately 70% of black children are born out of wedlock.

Glad it’s about something more serious, the color of his mistresses. Infidelity wouldn’t be a problem if they were women of color.

****It’s my understanding that GM owns the Cadillac.**

URGENT! URGENT!

The vast majority of their so-called "jokes" are racist in nature, and they are always about "white people." It's clearly animosity under the guise of "humor."

It's really terrible that so many blacks tune in for such racist crap.

It’s called venting - Brother Dave Gardner got clobbered for his insensitivity in the ‘60’s.

Tiger is “blacker” than Barack Obama by blood I think, except by marrying a black woman, Obama’s black street cred was higher.

Beg to differ. Bagging white chicks brings huge street cred. Cheetah is living large on own income, but Obama is living large on the government. Dont' know which has bigger cred. And Obama is married to a beast.

Sounds like whitey isn’t the big racist anymore. I think the A-A community should clean up their act first before they start spouting off. Rampant unwed mothers on welfare and absentee fathers is no way to go through life.

The whole “racist” and “racial” thang is making my head spin. Someone needs to put together a guidebook. As I understand it:

1. If you’re a white cop you’re a racist
2. If you’re a black cop you’re never a racist
3. If you’re a rich black man married to a beautiful white woman then you are open-minded
4. If you’re a poor black man married to an average looking white woman then you’re a traitor to your race
5. If you’re a black woman married to a black man then you’re both OK

Oh, bother, I give up.

All women, including the trophy wife, physically “depreciate” rapidly after kids.

Uh, excuse you, do you know "all women"? Some of us snap back quickly afer childbirth and are bikini-ready in pretty short order, so we do not "depreciate" at all. In fact, some of us are more valuable, in your crude sense, after childbirth. So I don't know who you're talking about, but Elin Woods does not seem to be one of the women who "depreciates" physically.

Touche, maybe my statement that all women “depreciate” after children is too ‘broad’. However, MOST women do, and as well, they give their husband less sex, their attention is generally changed to the kids, school, soccer etc, and the husband becomes little more than a handyman and paycheck.

Women, generally, use sex to get the wedding ring, kids, house, money etc and the the hubby is a little used ornament. Then when they divorce, get the kids, house and lots of money, particularly those who marry money.

Biter much? I’m sorry you’re not familiar with many people who have happy marriages. Believe me, there are a lot of them. I hope someday you find out that there are many, many great women who don’t treat their husbands this way.

And as I look around my neighborhood, full of professionals in their late forties and fifties, I don’t see any mothers who have “depreciated” physically (a rather ugly expression, suggesting that a woman’s worth is in her appearance) any more than their husbands have. And I see these folks in their bathing suits all summer.

That’s only the case with guys who are lousy in bed. If da man is awesome, his wife can’t keep her hands off of him. Eight years and three kids later, man does my husband ring my bell! Hard to keep my hands off him.

It seems to me, the guys who complain about their lack of sex should really would why their wives don’t want to sleep with them.

“The issue comes in when you choose something white because you think it’s better,” Underwood said. “And then you never date a black woman or a woman of color or you never sample the greatness of the international buffet of human beings. If you never do that, we got a problem.”

Brilliance on display.

I believe it is high time that the great one...the all hole-y, the wonderful chill giver, the all-powerful, the fantastic islamosocialist muslim-in-chief should now appoint the "Golf and Wimmin" czar!

Any candidates??

If so, please send their name to "you know who", the mosque house, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., WDC!!
