Damn, hope Nate gets better!

Congrats to MLK 3. So sorry to hear that about Nate Dogg. I’m glad that he’s okay though.

Nate….I hope you get better

why is everyone using these stupids nooses (dumb asses)…..they should know by now that, that ish aight fun….is disrespectful…..and blacks won’t have it

I’m glad that the editor got fired. I’m tired about hearing about stuff like nooses in magazines in 2008. Stuff like this is really getting old.

So sad to hear about Nate Dogg. I interviewed him a few years back and he was the sweetest guy. A pleasure to talk to. God speed with his recovery.

Get better Nate. I hope he gets back to singing soon. Congrats to MLK III and I’m glad the editor got fired. That pic is very offensive. Ridiculous.

I pray that he recovers completely. Life is so unexpected in the unplanned curves that it can throw us. Let us all realize that every moment God gives us is a blessing from above.

“Scurv”

ohman !
i hope nate dogg has a speedy recovery.

and MLK III, congrats!

Oh wow. Hope Nate recovers from it.

Wow. Not about Nate Dogg, not about MLK III, but about the Golf Week cover. How can any SANE person, in this day and age, think that a noose is appropriate for ANYTHING??? I mean, I’m sure Golf Week wanted to capitalize on the story last week with regard to Tiger, but DAYUM, you couldn’t think of anything else???

He deserved to be fired, and the graphic artist responsible for it should be blackballed…

WOW!

Dang Nate, get well brotha! Wow I’m shocked

Are they serious with this cover??? I’m glad he got fired. They should know by now that a noose is not cool. The word alone is trouble and they put an actual picture, what did they expect. Idiots, this is beyond tigger now!!

PRAYERS GO OUT 2 NATE GOGG!

hope everything goes well for nate
congrats to mlk III
i don’t understand why the editor got fired. it’s not like they’re glorifying it or saying “go do it”. they just put a pic of it.

I pray Nate Dogg is healed, oh that is so scary/sad.

Blacks are having the best week ever. Somebody higher up is seeing the black man as an equal. Oddly enough, i don’t agree with the firing of homeboy. I think he was trying to sell some magazines and generate some publicity. He did, now he catches a brick. The chick that said the lynch comment is still with a job. Now that is jacked up. She should fork over half of her salary to the fired editor.

In regards to Nate Dogg, this is exactly what I said in regards to Pimp C (although I never heard the final official cause of death). So many people were shocked when it was initially reported that he died of natural causes. What is so shocking?!? Here you have another supposedly healthy black male paralyzed on one side. To be honest these individiuals are not healthy. They have problems that are either not diagnosed or diagnosed and they refrain from seeking medical treatment. You do not have a stroke for no reason. A stroke is either caused from hypertension, which left uncontrolled will cause a hemorrhagic stroke also known as an aneurysm secondary to weakening of the cerebral vessels that have weakened because they are constantly pumping under a high pressure system. The other type of stroke is an ischemic stroke secondary to a clot blocking the bloodflow to the brain, thereby leaving the brain “ischemic”. This is caused by high cholesterol or an irregular heart beat called atrial fibrillation, which allows the heart to essentially quiver, and once the heart decides to pump forcefully, the blood that has been sitting stagnant/still and has had time to clot, is now showered with clots throughout the bloodstrem and “clots up” the vessels that flow to the brain.
Therefore Nate Dogg either had a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke. Either way if hemorrhagic this could have been prevented by taking blood presuure medications as ordered. If ischemic this could have alo been prevented by taking blood presuure medications, but also, an aspirin today, and/or blood thinners like coumadin or plavix. The problem is first of all being black alone is a risk factor for heart attacks, stroke, diabetes etc. Then diabetes alone is a risk factor for heart attacks and stroke. Second of all as the news often show we are often under treated by primary care physicians in contrast to other racial groups. Also we have a huge problem with obesity, secondary to our overeating. Im mean in healthcare the majority of the population on dialysis, amputations, blindness secondary to daibetes, strokes, heart attacks is black people. Young men and women in their middle 20’s are hospitalized with full strokes, sometimes not with a prognosis of a full recovery, instead you are trying to find nursing home placement for them because of the severity of the injury from the stroke. As black individuals, everyone should randomly have their blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol checked at least once a year as a minimum. I mean these are celebrities who you actually here about. There are millions a year as early as in their 20’s - 50’s who are dying or beilng disbaled because of preventable illnesses. I mean think about it and encourage your friends, and families to become empowered and ambassadors of their own health care. Also let me just throw in their that men, especially do not like taking blood pressure medications, because it can cause erectile dysfunction, but their are several classes of blood pressure medications, which will not have this side effect. And once you are paralyzed on one side and drooling, or even worst dead…how are you going to have sex anyway!

GET WELL SOON NATE DOG

CONGRATS TO MLK

AND AS FOR THE NOOSE, I STILL DONT BELIEVE THAT “GOLFWEEK” HAD NO IDEA THAT PUTTING A PICTURE OF A NOOSE ON THEIR MAGAZINE COVER WASNT OK

ITS LIKE ONCE THEY REALIZED HOW SENSITIVE BLACK PEOPLE WERE TO NOOSES, THEY SAID, LETS PUT A NOOSE ON THE COVER

BULLSHIT THAT THEY DIDNT KNOW IT WAS WRONG

WHY OH WHY WOULD YOU CARRY IT OUT BY ACTUALLY GIVING A COVER TO SOMETHING AS NEGATIVE AS A NOOSE?

THIS WASNT AN ACCIDENT AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING

THEY WERE STANDING BY THEIR GIRL- THE WHITE GIRL WHO MADE THE INITIAL COMMENT ABOUT TIGER

THE GOLF WORLD STAY SHITTIN ON BLACK PEOPLE BUT YET ONE OF THE BEST TO GOLF IS A BLACK MAN WHO WOULD NEVER ADMIT TO BEING A BLACKMAN DESPITE HAVING A BLACK FATHER

CRAZY

I hope Nate Dogg gets better

Congratulations to MLK III

Damn right that editor should have been fired and so should have Kelly Tilghman, she’s lucky Tiger is ignorant………….

Get well soon Nate Dogg……Woof.

MLK III, what da hell is a secret wife

Lighten up people…..Tiger Woods don’t know nothing about lynching. His ass think he’s White anyway’s.

EXACTLY!!! to 2 for $5.00’s final comment of: THE GOLF WORLD STAY SHITTIN ON BLACK PEOPLE BUT YET ONE OF THE BEST TO GOLF IS A BLACK MAN WHO WOULD NEVER ADMIT TO BEING A BLACKMAN DESPITE HAVING A BLACK FATHER. Early in his career Tiger said he is polynasian-little-ittie-bit-so-little-it-doesn’t-even-count-black-merican. So he’s probably not even the smallest bit offended about this whole dilmma. Like he said, he and the sportscaster were friends, so he accepted he apology. But this noose is offensive to the rest of us. But you have to realize that golfing has a stigma of being a white only country club sport. If not shown by Concrete Loop, none of us would have probably seen this magazine cover, because it is probably only viewed by those who to subscribe to Golfweek and on the tables of country clubs throughout the US. Goodie the editor was fired and now subdued. Maybe he can find a new job as a caddie now. Dumb ass!

…should be he accepted “her apology”.

Nate is young to be having a stroke..but the Lord is with him and he expected to make a full recovery so God is good.
Congrats to MLKIII
I’ve been over Tiger.Yeah he got money but that money can’t fixed the insecurities he has, ask Lil Kim.Poor and lost soul.

OMG Nate Dogg?! Im hope hes gonna be okay seriously…wow that is so unexpected

Wow good for MLK III and congrats!

Our Prayers go out to you Nate God Bless

I hope Nate Dogg is able to make a full recovery.

That editor should have been fired, obviously one of the requirements for the position is to use common, rationale sense and he must have understood that a noose relating to that particular story was racist and unacceptable.

Why does MLK, III have a “secret wife” ?

Get well soon Nate.. (I hope he’s insured). He’ll now see who his real friends are. Everything happens for a reason.

Shame on Golf Week for being socially, culturally and historically insensitive, choosing a noose for thier cover. Their management of this debacle is disgraceful. Everyone involved should be fired.

What does MLK III have to hide???

Is the expecting mother….

UNDER AGE
WHITE
MARRIED
AN ILLEGAL ALIEN
ONE OF THE BUSH TWINS

What’s the big secret?

@ # 16 Excellent. I was just aboout to go there… In regards to the nooses: this was done purposely. The editor took the risk of publishing it.Good he is gone fired. SMH.. This is 2008 and they still are trying to take us 200 yrs back…

Shame about Nate Dogg. Hope he gets better.

Congrats to MLKIII

Justice was served. This 2008 people, and it’s horrifying how racist some white Americans are. Absolutely appalling what they did.

But that golf anchor chick was WRONG AS HELL for that.

But I think lynching as a whole is offense to us. It doesnt surprise me that an Uncle Tom like Tiger Woods let her off the hook.

So I say this is good for blacks as a whole, NOT Tiger’s wannabe white ass.

Pray for Nate Dogg
Mlk III Congrats
and for that cover on “GolfWeek”….Sad

lol @ #27 I once heard he was gay. Don’t understand why she’s described as a ’secret wife’ either.

Someone just wanted that editor fired. The chick wasn’t fired. No black person was going to find out about the cover or necessarily react to it…..till they pointed it out under the guise of ‘hundreds of complaints’….please.

Plus i think Tiger is MOST affected by ths than anyone else (as was intended) because he probably desparately wants this whole ‘misunderstanding’ to go away.

I hope Nate Dogg recovers from this. To get a stroke at any age is bad but being still young, thats just terrible. Hope he gets better and works to become healthy. I agree with #16 post.

my prayers to Nate Dogg that is sad situation\

congrats to MLK 3\

I am glad the golf lady got fired

I’m in the minority because this golf cover is a true dialogue piece, something shocking to get people’s attention. There are plenty of covers of magazines that are approved, because you need the cover to stand out whether it’s the hottest celebrity or something as disturbing as a noose. Remember when Charles Barkley wore chains around his neck? There was a little controversy, but many excused it because they felt Charles was a sell out anyway.

I am not excusing this editor, but since when have we become so sensitive? When Whoopi Goldberg said something about George Bush she lost her Slim Fast endorsement, when that Imus dude make his comment he was fired, so now we can’t have free speech in this country? As blacks we say far worse things to each other on a daily basis, on radio, in songs and the only consequences are great sales.

My point is there is inconsistency.

As far as Nate Dogg I hope he gets better, this should be a wakeup call for our folks to look out for our health. Mac n Cheese, deep fried pork chops smoothered in gravy (mumph that sounds good, lol), fried chicken with greens topped with hot sauce, downed with some strawberry Kool-Aid ain’t gon get it, no matter how good it is.

my prayers for nate dogg, i miss is voice on hooks, bump mlk 3 and this racism in golf is getting outta hand, wtf is going on in the world of golf?

First, my prayers to Mr. Nate Dogg ( for a speedy recovery) & Mr. King III ( for the new life he help create).

2008 minus 1960 equals 48.

48 years sine the Civil Rights Movement. I know it may seem like a million years ago from when OUR grandparents and great grand parents were protesting for Equal rights…but its only been roughly 48yrs. We as a people never got the chance to heal as ONE. Lets take this editiors “Reminder” and start the healing process.

Knowledge = Power = FREEDOM

Damn @Lisa, you’re making me hungry

MLK III, making babies at 50…..He must be on that Steve Harvey workout

A picture of a noose is bad……but, calling each other N!gger is O.K. I don’t get it

I pray he has a speedy recovery.

It’s about time one of the King children finally had a child.

@His Story, The NAACP was formed in 1909, so the Civil Rights Movement was going on LONG before 1960.

DAMNNN nate dogg! hope u get better, boo.

OMG! I never knew that Nate suffered a stroke I’m very sad that he is paralyzed on his left side that is so sad. Wow I’m praying for him

I understood why the editor got fired because of cultural insensitivity. A noose is a nosse but in America the noose has a negative connotation due to it being related to Blacks here in this country. We don’t know the man’s logic behind using the word “noose” and displaying a graphic of a noose that would be widely published however due to it being a negative connotation I would’ve been careful not to use something that could be offensive so on that man’s part he was being irresponsible.

My dad went to Morehouse when Marty was there and he said that Martin lll was always quite and to himself but kind of slow in class. None of the King children have children’s, so it’s nice there will be an offspring to carry on the family name. I don’t know what a secret wife is exactly. Maybe he didn’t want anyone to know what his wife looks like.

obama wins most delegates in nevada. from dailykos-

by kos
Sat Jan 19, 2008 at 04:07:32 PM PST
So check it out, Obama literally won more delegates in Nevada than Clinton:

A source with knowledge of the Nevada Democratic Party’s projections told The Nation that under the arcane weighting system, Obama would win 13 national convention delegates and Clinton would win 12 delegates. The state party has not released an official count yet.

Barack Obama released an official statement celebrating a delegate victory. “We came from over twenty-five points behind to win more national convention delegates than Hillary Clinton because we performed well all across the state, including rural areas where Democrats have traditionally struggled,” he said.

And the Obama campaign is milking it, throwing the Hillary campaign’s own words against it:

Senator Obama was awarded 13 delegates to Senator Clinton’s 12. As Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson said, “This is a race for delegates…It is not a battle for individual states. As David knows, we are well past the time when any state will have a disproportionate influence on the nominating process.”

Ha ha ha. As if this thing couldn’t get any more absurd.

Update: Since I was obviously not clear enough and many didn’t get it, the headline was ironic, the last sentence was supposed to give it away.

Yeah, Hillary won the state. But under her earlier rules, all that mattered was the delegate count. So everyone wins. Or no one wins. Or whatever. Like I said, absurd.

In practical and political terms, Hillary wins. She gets the little checkmark next to her name in the results. Losing the delegate count is inside-baseball. But the delegate thing — assuming it holds up and confirmed — is worth a psychological boost to Obama and his supporters.

Update II: The AP has updated its story and is confirming the delegate thing:

“I guess this is how the West was won,” Clinton told cheering supporters in Las Vegas. She captured the popular vote, but Obama edged her out for national convention delegates at stake, taking 13 to her 12.

Update III: The percentages reported for this race, by the way, aren’t popular vote figures. Truly bizarre. They’re based on the number of state delegates awarded. So while no one thinks Obama will win the popular vote, the percentages should be a lot tighter when the actual popular vote numbers are released.

The noose is obviously a very controversial symbol— understandably so and the Editor did not use common sense and was extremely insensitive by approving this cover.
But I do think there needs to be open dialogue about what this represents to us as black people. If this was the editor’s intent he should have found a better way to start this dialogue without being so offensive.
Tiger Woods- SMDH. He’s a mess.

My prayer goes out to Nate Dogg, never even heard about it til today.
Congrats to the King family.
The noose things was dumb and haven’t read the Mag and won’t start.

The editor should not have been fired, unless the meaning behind the picture was racist. I wonder if the editor was trying to be thought-provoking. But, in all fairness, we jump and down over something as obvious as this, but we will sit back and defend rappers and other black entertainers for making the African American race look like bottom trash with no morals or drive to pursue anything except for a mic or a ball.

It’s time for blacks to look at the deeper issues instead of the most obvious. If we are not careful, our race will be exterminated in 40-50 years, and it will be because we didn’t wake up and take notice.

Just wow @ nate dogg and hes so young as well i hope he gets betta real soon…………….. oh man, what a shocker.

R.I.P. NATE DOGG

WE SHO IS GON MISS U

U MADE SUM GOOD MUSIC

Thanks for your very informative commentary - hopefully will have some impact, even if marginal.

I wish well for Nate Dogg and hope he has a full recovery.

With MLK holliday approaching, just this week I was thinking how sad it was that there was no heir/heiress to carry on the his name. If it is true about he pregnancy, I am joyful and wish them the best.

The Golfweek cover, how dumb can you be not to have foreseen the power of that image - seems insensitve to me.

#49

Thats not even funny.

May nate dogg get well… The lord is indeed watching over him…

My prayers are with Nate

Congrats to MLK III !

I heard about the Golfweek cover on CNN a couple of days ago, I fall asleep with the tv on so this woke me up out of my sleep. I was thinking what dose nooses have to do with golf.

@ Clarkthink Thank for the info ( I know when the NAACP, Rainbow Coalition, and other African American organizations started; I actually attended an Historical Black College to get such info). What I was trying to state is it has only been 48yrs from the 1960s when alot of protest took place and yet we think we have moved beyond the Civil Rights time b\c we get to get paid for our work now.

The editior & Kramer let us know that it wasn’t that long ago when
OUR ancestors (great grand parents) were hanging from a tree with a noose around their necks.

Knowledge = Power = Freedom

Also, I apologize it I sound sassy

WTF?? For a cover like that, hell yea he deserves to be fired and nuthin less. Why would he even do a cover like that when the lady sayin it already caused an uproar? How dumb of him to do that.

secret wife???…dang he looks NOTHIN like his daddy!

Poor Nate. I hope he recovers

Definitely a hard thing to deal with. My mom had 3 strokses back to back which left her partially paralyzed, its no joke. I hope he gets the best care possible.

First off my prayers go out to Nate Dogg, black people especially black men gotta start taking better care of themselves because the stuff that #16 was saying is true I know plenty of people who had health problems didn’t know it and just dropped dead its real sad…Congrads to MLK III and as for the editor, the noose was offensive but come on how many black people read that magazine??

Bowhe,

That’s exactly why this white editor did not see a problem with a noose on the front cover. If black people wont respect themselves, how can we expect them to ? Think about it. We are the only race to demean and disrepect women to the highest capacity. Don’t even get me started on the black family. Black men need to take their place in the home and quit making all lthese babies out of wedlock. It’s more popular to be a “pimp” and disrepsect women than it is to take care of your kids and family. We have to do better otherwise, it will only get worse.

lacks are having the best week ever. Somebody higher up is seeing the black man as an equal.
poor nate, i wish him the best
while, i saw some of his pictures on interracial.com, seems that his fans created a blog there for him, there i found info. about him.

OMG! I HOPE NATE MAKES A SPEEDY RECOVERY

I HOPE NATE DOG RECOVERS…..I’LL KEEP HIM IN MY PRAYERS

get well nate hugs and kisses ………… congrads to king ……. all dem mofos in the whole office should have been fired they saw it before it was published they gave the ok lololol

50 years old? Wow. Well, I guess if you really want children, no age is too old…..

Take care of yourself, Nate! Wishing you a full recovery!

No comment about Golfweek………..

Man….Nate Dogg paralyzed? We really have to start taking better care of our health and stay away from this processed and fast food! Everyone is getting sick now with cancer and strokes! Our bodies just can’t handle the stress we put it through. Even dogs are getting cancer…what kind of crap is that? I hope Nate can bounce back from this!

Thanks for the information, #16! You sound like a doctor or a nurse!

LOL @ #27

Get well soon Nate.

BLACK men PLEASE go get yourselves checked!! Stop trying to be so damn hard, and ignoring when your body is suffering. I’m tired of my black men dropping like flies Also, # 34 (LISA) made an excellent point. We can’t keep eating that greasy stuff EVERYDAY. I know it’s good, but our arteries can’t take that ALL the time.

MLK III is having a baby as the product of a SECRET marriage? WTF???

i hope nate dogg makes a speedy recovery. my mom is a stroke victim & it’s nothin nice. SEE BLACK PEOPLE: WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!!!

#16, thanks for the vital info!

Better late than never Mr. MLK, congrats!

I will be praying for Nate. I truly hope he gets well…and I have a feeling that he will get well. This is incredibly difficult but he’ll get through this stronger than ever.

–

Oh my goodness, what the hell? I guess 2008 is going to be another “growing pains” year when it comes to racism. I think we’re getting closer to resolving so many race issues, despite all the publicized racism that’s been going on this past year. People who naively believed that racism didn’t exist are realizing that it is alive and well AND they’re also realizing that people of color aren’t afraid to speak out about it - whether it’s blatant racism (like nooses, Genarlow Wilson) or subtle racism (in tv, movies, etc) and we’re going to see some real change really soon. It’s not gonna be easy of course, but it a necessary step towards progress as far as racism goes.

My heart goes out to the Nate family. Hope he fully recovers soon and takes it easy. Hope errythin works out.
