Associated Press headline:
Tiger’s Troubles Widen His Distance From Blacks
‘Two layers of suspicion ... one is the pattern in the race of his partners’
The article that followed labeled the golfer racist not only for "declin[ing] to identify himself as black," but also because of "the race of the women" he's involved with.
On top of this, the AP made the case that America's fascination with Woods's philandering is only because he's cheating with white women (h/t NB reader Matthew Noll):
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.
The article continued with this theme:
As one blogger, Robert Paul Reyes, wrote: "If Tiger Woods had cheated on his gorgeous white wife with black women, the golfing great's accident would have been barely a blip in the blogosphere."
Wow! So America is also racist because we're only interested in this story due to the color of Woods's mistresses.
But it gets worse:
The darts reflect blacks' resistance to interracial romance. They also are a reflection of discomfort with a man who has smashed barriers in one of America's whitest sports and assumed the mantle of the world's most famous athlete, once worn by Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan.But Woods has declined to identify himself as black, and famously chose the term "Cablinasian" (Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian) to describe the racial mixture he inherited from his African-American father and Thai mother.
So Woods is wrong for not considering himself black even though he is one quarter Chinese, one quarter Thai, one quarter African-American, one eighth American Indian, and one eighth Dutch?
But there was yet more racial absurdity in this piece:
This vexed some blacks, but it hasn't stopped them from claiming Woods as one of their own. Or from disapproving of his marriage to Elin Nordegren, despite blacks' historical fight against white racist opponents of mixed marriage.
So, blacks have historically fought against "white racist opponents of mixed marriage":
"But at the same time we still see him as a black man with a white woman, and it makes a difference," said Johnson Cooper, a 26-year-old African-American from New York City. "There's just this preservation thing we have among one another. We like to see each other with each other."
Wow! So, on the one hand, blacks have fought against "white racist opponents of mixed marriage." BUT, they're against black men marrying white women.
Not only did the AP miss this hypocrisy, it actually defended it:
This tendency may be more prominent due to a relative lack of interracial marriages among average blacks. Although a recent Pew poll showed that 94 percent of blacks say it's all right for blacks and whites to date, a study published this year in Sociological Quarterly showed that blacks are less likely to actually date outside their race than are other groups."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."
The color of one's companion has long been a major measure of "blackness" — which is a big reason why the biracial Barack Obama was able to fend off early questions about his black authenticity.
"Had Barack had a white wife, I would have thought twice about voting for him," Johnson Cooper said.
So do Woods' women say something about the intensely private golfer's views on race?
"I would like to say no, but I think it garners a bit of a yes," Johnson Cooper said.
Wow!
So if Michelle Obama was white, blacks wouldn't have voted for her husband?
Somehow the AP missed this racist hypocrisy as well.
Add it all up, and Woods is racist for cheating with white women, Americans are racist because they wouldn't be interested in this story if his mistresses were black, and it's okay for blacks to resent black men that are involved with white women.
Any questions?
Tiger has long been a target of the libs for not being more “outspoken” on “social” issues. Just google Tiger Woods Jim Brown.
So, the bigots quoted in the article are saying that all will be forgiven if Tiger hooks up with 14 Chinese, 14 Thai, 14 African and 7 Indian descendants and all will be forgiven.

Yes, they are in favor of the quota system.

Mmmmmmm....butter.
And are the very same people who jumped on that dude down south that didn't want to marry an interracial couple.
I think it's sad, pathetic and the most disgusting behavior directly out of the hellish democrat's abyss that they would bring race up with the frequency of every breath they take.
May the evil that the spread be revisited upon them with no further harm to the innocent.
The racists are the ones calling Tiger Woods a “racist.” He should be able to marry/mess around with whomever he pleases-—race-wise that is, without some sort of fallout. From what I’ve read Tiger does not think of himself as “black,” but rather a mix, which of course he is.
Blatant hypocrisy but it proves how well established the left’s notion that racism is about power as much as race has become. I.e. it’s “okay” for blacks to oppose interracial marriage because such marriage steals away the solidarity and therefore the power of the disempowered black community.
What about a Native American? Is he a triple racist??
Now don't get all riled up I am just reporting what I saw. . . . . . . . .
Butter? What is this, “Last Tango in Windermere”?
Nice tat on the “indian,” too.
Yes, and isn't it funny how the racial grievance crowd uses the old slave-era "one drop" rule to determine blackness.
Re your post 19:
Thank me for giving you the chance to vent, chuckle.
My points, precisely.

What are those three things next to her right knee? Corn vibrators?
No, not always by a long shot.
I understand he doesn’t cheat with spaghetti-slopping fat liberal chicks, either.
That’s not how I meant it.
I think the Airplane Jive Dudes, once again, have this one nailed:
“See a broad to get her booty action - lay’er down an’ smack’em yack’em.”

How does Spike Lee do it? His ability to make and survive offensive statements makes President Clinton, who has survived a scandal or two, look like Velcro.
During the promotion of his film “Jungle Fever,” about a black/white interracial romance, the black filmmaker stated that he disliked interracial couples! Incredibly, he said, “I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.”
