To: I cannot think of a name
My theory is that he hasn’t shown sufficient “blackness” to keep the liberal establishment happy. After all, he hangs around on those awful golf courses with white people.

Same could have been said for OJ, but eventually that race card will be played, and they will start whining that they are just trying to "keep a brother down."

I agree although for Tiger it will be a little tougher. It was OJ’s “dream team” that played the race card, and he had nothing to lose. On the other hand, Tiger's appeal has been the ambiguity of his race. He could be seen as black when it was advantageous, but he was so non threatening that he could virtually “pass” as white. If he tries the race card, it pretty well locks him into one definition.
