If the flurry of media reports is true, then the injuries for which Tiger Woods was taken to a local hospital for treatment were caused by his wife, not his car accident. Well, well, well, guess it’s true what old folks always say, “You never know somebody ‘til you know somebody.” Who would’ve thought that Tiger Woods’ nice European model wife would’ve taken a golf club to his car and her fingernails to his face?
One would never have gotten that impression by tracing Tiger’s steps from age five ‘til the night of his car crash. Tiger orchestrated every step of his career in a deliberate attempt to eliminate any hint of blackness. You see, to Tiger, black was synonymous with mess and black women were synonymous with loud ghetto mess. So, he ran away in much the same way that so many others have before him; Clarence Thomas, Michael Jackson, Sammy Sosa (skin lightening cream has given many a Negro false hope).
In Woods’ haste to retreat from his own blackness, he did not account for the fact that his wife would never abandon her whiteness. In her mind, Tiger is her black husband and she’s his white wife. What good is it to run away from who you are if you’re the only one running?
Woods’ Achilles heel is the fact that he has never fully owned his blackness. He’s addressed it only at the most aesthetic of levels during interviews with reporters who were fixated with the idea of a black golfer. Tiger himself though, has always insisted upon being referred to as “Caublinasian”, not black. This resistance to everything black has created a knowledge gap. It has caused Woods’ to stereotype African-Americans in general and African American women in particular.
In essence, Tiger ran into this swirl mess by trying to avoid a black mess. His misapprehensions about black women led him to a white woman who attempted to scratch out his eyes and destroy his car.
You see, Tiger, we black women are a complex group. We are not homogeneous. We have diverse ideas, points of view, and yes, even temperaments. It would behoove you to get to know us (no offense to your blond bombshell).
You already knew! Coonin’ and Buffoonin‘, talking to a reporter from the Daily News like he’s one of your boys at the barber shop makes you my MONKEY OF THE WEEK.
Ofcourse he is monkey of the week because of the smack-down he received at the hands of Jon Stewart earlier this week. But I really dispise the uprising from the business community in defense of Cramer. They’re argument on behalf of Cramer goes a little something like this: 1.) Cramer is somewhat of a goofball and 2) everyone’s wrong sometimes so what’s the big deal. First, Cramer is a Harvard Law grad, former Goldman Sachs investor, and an immensely successful hedge fund investor. This guy knows what he’s doing. He just doesn’t want to tell us. The kind of information that yields 20% – 50% profit is reserved for those who have big money. So, the argument that the O’Reillys and CNBC supporters are making, that Cramer is a just a goofball, is an outright lie.
You guys I am soooo sorry that I missed the whole “crazy Cynthia McKinney in the ocean” thing.
I was on vacation
It’s Cynthia Mckinney for heaven’s sake
I mean, don’t we expect her to be NUTS most of the time. What in Baby Jesus name was she doing on the aid ship headed to Gaza?! She’s not exactly a fan of Israel and the feeling is mutual. I’m surprised they didn’t sink the ship just ’cause she was on it. CYNTHIA , YOU ARE OUR MONKEY OF THE WEEEEEEEEEK!!!
Mothers of the world, prestar atencion (pay attention)!!!!! This is what happens to your young girls when you don’t teach them to respect themselves, their bodies, and the commitments they make. This chick Christine Beatty, former chief of staff to the monkey of all monkeys, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, is going to spend 4 months in the big house!!! Why you ask??? Because she had an affair with the “playa maya” while they were both still married (WRONG #1), lied under oath about the affair (WRONG #2) and sent lil ‘ol nasty text messages that provided the evidence that they were having an affair (STUPID #1). My black sisters, pleeeaaaase stop supporting no good men! It does not matter what his title is, be it Mayor, Governor, or C.E.O., a no good brother is a no good brother! PERIOD!!!!
Rev. Jeremiah Wright was recently quoted as saying the media used him as “a weapon of mass destruction” to derail Barack Obama’s candidacy. No sh*t Shirlock!!!!
The question of the day is , why did you fall for the banana in the tailpipe!?!?! You’re a black pastor who has lived through the Civil Rights movement and you couldn’t see this one coming?! When you showed up at the National Press Club and acted a straight monkey, you didn’t think your buffoonery would be used to hurt Obama? How dreadfully naive. wow! Oh, I heard you’re going to be doing a lot of talking real soon so I’m sure we’ll see you on the Monkey of the Week list a few more times…….
For those of you who thought D.L. could successfully transition from gutter comedy to intelligent, political conversation…you’re sooo sadly mistaken. American culture is beginning to transition away from pigmentation politics, Barack Obama is probably the biggest indicator. But your boy D.L. Hughley is all about black folx, Compton, and running from the PO-lice. That’s sooooooo 1991 D.L. If I really want to hear that trash, I’ll listen to some old N.W.A. And when’s the last time you ran from the Po-Po D.L.? Please. When there’s so much talent out there, why do networks and production companies insist on recycling the same used and used up black “talent”?
Here’s a surprise, the real issue here is not the uneducated folksy white folk who believe any ‘ol right wing propaganda they read. No sir! The bigger issue is this latent belief in the backwoods white community that black people are always something “other”. Why can’t we ever just be average, patriotic, Christian Americans? I think these suspicions held by some in the white community may be tied to the mistreatment of African-Americans in this country. Some white people seem to doubt the sincerity of African Americans when we claim our love for country. Their sense is, that somewhere inside of us, we are wolves in waiting, waiting for our chance for vengeance at a country that wronged us. And for this reason, they will never trust us. Because of what their ancestors did to our ancestors, they will never trust us. The irony….
Ok O.J. , you may have gotten away with murder a few years ago, who really knows? We weren’t there. What we do know is that the white community has had you in their sites from the moment that “not guilty” verdict was read. The white community was, and still is, pissed to the height of pissivity that your black azz could get away with marrying, yet alone murdering, Nicole Simpson (The nerve of a black NFL superstar to marry a nobody from nowhere white girl, but I digress.. ). Black people were also pissed! Black people were pissed at the police. We know the police are not always our friends and could very well have set you up, O.J. Now, whew, you got off because of some negroes on the jury and an excellent defense team. Now, what do you do? Do you lay low? Ofcourse not, you find another white woman and skant your monkey azz around town like the monkey you are! Then!, knowing white people are out to get you, you ROB some people for some ol’ crap that belongs to you. Now, you’re facing life behind bars! You, O.J. , are the MONKEY OF THE DECADE, NOT JUST THE WEEK!!! Don’t drop the soap playboy…..
You already knew!
