In the world of equity we will all be Tiger Woods. With equal outcome mandated we will all have the same golf score.

[gov_bean_ counter]

WTH is there to understand???

[100%FEDUP]

Putt Putt remains the only equitable form of golf!

[a fool in paradise]

Tiger Woods and his wife are on SkineMAX?

How tawdry.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Rod....you don’t get to speak to white America.

What’s to understand about Tiger Woods?

He hits a little white ball with some sticks and makes big money doing it.

Is he out there thinking about The Big Bang Theory on the course?

OK.

Well.....that’s true.

Not a good example.

Maybe he was thinking about Schroedingers pussycat or something.

Again, probably not a good example.

Somebody else can probably come up with one.

[alternatives?]

No ladies tees?

[cgbg]

Tiger needs to send me all his money.

It is unfair that he was better at golf than I was.

Equality.

Forward to the future!

What was the purpose of this article? Am I too white to understand? Honestly, what a pile of garbage.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

I was always at ease around old white ladies. If I was just the right amount of articulate, they would be very generous.

Stereotype meter pegged by this sentence. I can't imagine a white writer getting away with writing about how at ease he was around old black ladies.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Who cares?

White America doesn’t need to “understand” anything.

[econjack]

Why does everything have to be about race now? What happened to the normal American family. Every TV ad now feels they have to have a bi-racial family. What’s wrong with an all black, white, or yellow family? Every TV show has to have a gay couple in it and often a bi-racial couple thrown in for good measure. Why is this being shoved down my throat?

[mikeus_maximus]

Sure we understand- he’s a philandering scumbag.

The writer puts way too much emphasis on Woods being black in a “white” world rather than Woods being very talented in the extremely competitive world of professional golf. People didn’t/don’t like Woods because he’s black in a white world, they like Woods because he’s GOOD at playing golf. If you don’t play golf, you have virtually no idea how good PGA players are.

Professional golf tournaments are usually held over 4 days, and the winner is often decided by only 1-3 strokes. Imagine a basketball game that goes on long enough for the winning score to be in the ballpark of 280. How often would the losing team have 275-279? Not often I’d wager.

And golf is almost pure capitalism. There’s no Affirmative Action. Your pay is based on your score. (There are exceptions. Players like Woods are sometimes paid “Appearance Fees”, but I think those are in tournaments in Dubai or somewhere in order to attract big name players and thus get the tournament on the golf map.)

I don’t think this guy watched the documentary. He said they didn’t discuss the fact that Tiger broke many barriers on race & opened eyes. They talked about it several times. His race was over exposed in the docu-series.

BTW he is a black guy who wrote it. He is overly racially sensitive.

[Dr. Sivana]

It’s also surprisingly light on the weightiest aspect of Tiger's legacy: He’s the greatest golfer to ever live

That would be Jack Nicklaus.

[Altura Ct.]

FU and all this white hatred.

[married21]

Tiger Woods is mixed race, Asian and African American. They never want to think about the Asian influence in his life. I guess that doesn’t matter as much to them.

[Dr. Sivana]

Black people got mad at him for saying he was “Cablinasian” but I think we all also knew why he said that. For him to keep his job and his money, Tiger can’t afford to be just Black.

He ISN'T "just" black. Why should he deny his mother's racial heritage? Or does the author like the "one drop" rule?

[jdsteel]

I saw it. Not bad, except for all of the race baiting A holes (Bryant Gumbel, I’m looking at you). They played a clip of the intro to the Masters where a white guy pretty much kissed Tiger’s rear end and wished him well on and off the golf course and then Bryant, with a sneer, called that a public whipping.

Millionaire black dudes commenting on hundred millionaire black dudes telling everyone how bad the white dudes are holding them down.....again.
