The article that followed labeled the golfer racist not only for “declin 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):
Story Continues Below Ad ↓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?Rachel Uchitel was the first mistress to be linked to the married Tiger Woods, and the one whose romance with him led to his car crash November 27.
After Woods wrecked his car, his reputation followed suit. Thanks, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin, Jamie Jungers, Mindy Lawton and maybe Cori Rist!
But it was Uchitel whose relationship with Woods was deemed the most dangerous by the golfer's camp – and that's why he decided to pay her off.
Rachel was about to hold a press conference last week when she pulled the plug at the last minute after a secret phone call with Tiger Woods' reps.
Tiger's camp believed she had leaked the story of their affair, but on the phone, Uchitel convinced Tiger she had nothing to do with the publication.
He believed her, but also believed that in hiring attorney Gloria Allred, Uchitel was going to cash in now or later. Tiger decided to buy her discretion.
Reports suggest Rachel Uchitel got at least $1 million from Tiger Woods.
Tiger felt it was important to silence Rachel Uchitel more than any other woman because his relationship with her was current and the most intense.
Woods knew there would be little doubt about the intensity of their relationship if the “hundreds” of explicit texts and emails he sent became public.
Fortunately for us, before the affair was exposed, she showed a friend an email Tiger wrote about having crazy Ambien sex and threesome dreams.
If that's any indication of what their relationship consisted of, there's no telling what we don't know. And that's why Woods wanted her to shut her yap.
Despite advice from some people in his camp who didn't want to give in to Glorida Allred or pay Uchitel, Tiger took control and made the call to pay her.
Now, we will never know what happened and he can begin rebuilding his images. Well, except for the fact that he's got five other mistress and counting.
After skipping out on the Chevron World Challenge, Tiger Woods took to his blog to defend himself apologize for letting down his fans and charities and golf lovers and event organizers …
- “As the final round of the Chevron World Challenge begins, I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to everyone affiliated with the event, especially our amazing title sponsor, Chevron,” writes Woods, 33, who withdrew from the Chevron World Challenge because of unspecified injuries from a Nov. 27 car accident outside his home in Florida.
They've been title sponsor for the last two years and have a vision and passion for creating real opportunities for my Foundation. I thank them for their ongoing commitment.
I'd also like to thank all of our supporting sponsors and my tireless, dedicated staff, board and volunteers who collectively produce this first-class golf tournament. I am so grateful to them for their efforts, and I am sincerely sorry I was unable to fulfill my duties as host and player in this important event. “There are also 18 outstanding pros in the field, and I thank them for providing us all with some excellent competition this week.
Lastly, I'd like to thank our fans for continuing to support us. Like them, I am extremely dedicated to this tournament, to my Foundation and the millions of young lives we serve. Thank you all for your support.”

Tiger Woods’ multiple affairs is the theme for a hilarious spoof with Kenan Thompson (as Tiger Woods) and Blake Lively (as wife Elin Nordegren), which plays with the possibility of Elin attacking Tiger with a golf club in the night of the suspicious car crash, in the last episode of Saturday Night Live on Saturday (December 5) – watch video below.
The skit has been considered obnoxious and offensive because domestic violence is a serious issue that affects many men and women all over the world. Do you think it was offensive or a deserved joke for a serial cheater like Tiger??
