oh yeah and again about the whole “he didn’t get offended b/c he doesn’t consider himself black”- i don’t consider myself african-american b/c i’m caribbean-american but whenever a white person attacks african-americans SPECIFICALLY i still get offended b/c i share a common trait with african-americans. i think it’s unfair to say that tiger would never get offended if black ppl were attacked b/c he doesn’t consider himself black. if someone walked up to him and screamed the n-word, he WOULD get offended because regardless of what he considers himself, he will always have a little black in him and he will always be aware of that. i highly doubt he’s walking around thinking “say whatever racial insults against black ppl that you want b/c guess what i’m not black” if he felt that she meant it, he would get offended. he clearly realizes that it was an inappropriate word choice, not a wish.

But I still have to ask why the word lynch??? You couldn’t come up with any other word to describe him getting hurt physically? I mean, who even uses the word lynch anymore unless you are talking about slavery, the mistreatment of black people, or being racist? That word doesn’t just pop up in your mind as a choice word. You don’t just dismiss that as an improper choice of words! Something that she has been thinking, whether consciously or subconsciously, slipped out. But it was on her mind. Had to be. lynch just is not a common word in today’s vocabulary.

Next thing you know we’ll find out she is Don Imus’s niece…

It doesn’t matter if Tiger identifies with the black community or agenda, a threat, insult or degradation to anyone Black is an attack on our entire community. I have to admit we as Black people are part of this trend and problem of YT folks coming out of their face talkin reckless. We need to start holding ourselves accountable and responsible for the images and standards proposed as acceptable.

I Bet You Want Say Something!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
@ 66

He doesn’t care about the black community? I wish you guys would go for the whole story and not the half…BLACK FOLKS are wanting him to say “hey I’m African American” when clearly he isn’t…Stop asking for him to claim something he isn’t. But that doesn’t mean he is not a man of color…And he has said that he is part African American, but he has also said that its not the only thing he claims…And I understand that…

Yes that’s what i said!! I DON’T WANT TIGER TO MAKE CLAIMS….I COULD CARE LESS! I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BLACK PEOPLE GETTING ALL UPSET WHEN TIGER CLEARLY DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN. WHATEVA COLOR HE DOES CLAIM…ITS VERY CLEAR HE DOESN’T WANT TO CLAIM BLACK. AND AL SHARPTON NEEDS TO SHUT THE HELL UP….

Hell I don’t consider myself “African-American”……..I’m an American of African descent. The term African-American does not connotate a “black” person. There are several terms for “Africans”. There are several “fair-skinned” Africans who are from the northern part of Africa and are mixed with everything that descended from that region of the continent. But I bet they would cut the fool if you called them “black”. THEY are African-Americans as well (if given citizenship).

Our African self was stripped from us on arrival in this land. Fortunately who we are can never be taken away. Being who we are does not make us less Black! Please remember that the ancestor of all man still points to an African!

Although Caucasians have tried achieved “the look”. One thing that can’t be taken away from us is the COLOR of our skin. (that is unless your name is Michael Jackson).

As stated before…..I WILL CHANGE MY BLK SKIN, WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR BLK HEART.

so sad. as bad as tiger didn’t want to be black, he still will only be black to whites. i guess now he wont be so pressed to be white. (didn’t mean to sound so harsh)

n.e. ways racism still exist, which is a sad truth

All the people that say this woman should not be checked, I beg to differ with you, to simply ignore this type of behavior, it does’nt get better it gets worse. This woman and anyone else needs to be made aware that it is not acceptable to be on television making crazy racial comments without consequences and repercussions.

@ Natural Mystique:

Yeah, I agree with your statement about the REAL enemies of black people, like the “dumbing it down” factor, ignorance, etc.

As for the sportscaster, the word “lynch” should not have ever left her ignorant ass mouth. Once she uttered the word, all bets were off! That word, like the n-word will ALWAYS be associated with the most harrowing and painful time in our people’s American history. Period.

Back to the dumbing down: However, we’re not the only ones doing it to us - Why does MTV Films have to reach out to the lowest common denominator by titling a movie clearly aimed at a black audience, How She Move as opposed to How She MOVES?

I’m just saying.

Why is this even being reported here? Tiger doesn’t affiliate with Blacks and isn’t this a Black-oriented site? Funny though, he won’t admit to being black but that reporter sure reminded him that “you are what you look like”. Heh, Once a N* always a N*

I know some of yall will be mad when I say this but…I am sick of Al Sharpton!!! He think that he is the voice for Black Americans. Please sit down somewhere…as I digress… but as someone mentioned above white people always make racial remarks and laugh it off as jokes and then expect you not to get mad. I attend a predominantly white college and they will say stuff about minorities as a joke in the school paper one day and after its called to their attention they want to do a retraction. So in my opinion, I think every one has a twinge of racism within.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I guess everybody got their “N*gga wake up call”…….

Wesley had his……

Now Tiger has his…..The fact that he’s letting that slide says a lot though…no self-respect whatsoever…

Katrina didn’t bring back unity in the community….

Don Imus didn’t bring back unity in the community….

Wait…if KATRINA didn’t bring shyt back is there still hope? I’m not saying we should be against other communities, but if we’re not fighting for our respect who will? Damn, Tiger ain’t even fighting…..damn shame. I’m glad AL is putting that chick in CHECK!!! “Lynch” definitely implied something racist towards BLACKS.

Behind every successful black person is a pack of white haters.

AMEN!!!!!!!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!! HE NEEDS TO SIT HIS DARK AND LOVELY A** DOWN STAT!!!!!!!!

Any man with a perm is a pimp to me.

Well, don’t forget Tracey Edmonds Murphy(or whateva she calls herself now) and Robert Johnson wack production company releasing that “dumb down” movie with Big Boi…Caddy something…i don’t remember the name to that coon fest! And MTV Films is “clearly” trying to jump on the “Stomp the Yard” bandwagon…WACK!!! Thank God for movies like “The Great Debaters”!

WE NEED A POST ABOUT THESE BLACK PRODUCTION COMPANIES MAKING COON FEST FOR THE BIG SCREEN….i’m just saying

88- I agree. Gotta add Ice Cube’s new flick? I like Katt Williams and all, but I’m too thru w/ these mindless ghetto flicks.

I understand that we all have different opinions about what should be done or not done about this reporter/journalist and racism in general. If we don’t ask for her firing or for others in general to be held accountable in some what, what should we do? Instead of saying what we shouldn’t let’s figure out what we should. I’m ready.

This is getting very tired, in every sense of the word. Many black people are tired. Their method of gaining respect from whites through marching and begging for love and respect is tired. The white man is tired of having to live and work around black people. Whites are tired of having to acknowledge the natural ability that black people have despite the hurdles that have been purposefully put up against blacks. This is why slick comments are made, and they’re made in such a way that if caught on to, they can deny any racial intent. Either racial incidents are multiplying or the report of racial incidents is multiplying. Whites have to wonder to themselves,”How the f*ck do these negroes keep excelling at anything much less everything? Why are they still here?”. Generally, sports in America is a diversion and it bothers white people that they have to see negroes dominate these various “American pastimes.”. That Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton fight; if anyone saw it, was full of racial tension and it seemed like the only people rooting for Floyd were Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, and Judge Mathis (who were all in the front row). Remember that golf was supposed to be the sport of the elite white man. No way in hell did they expect a negro to dominate that sport to the degree that Tiger Woods has. There is a tremendous degree of unspoken animosity for that man that he ignores because he’s getting paid to ignore it and he’s a coon negro. Tiger Woods has been the victim of racial epithets from a small child when his father took him to the golf course so if he was going to get angry, he would’ve done it a long time ago. This issue will blow over because he will absolve the white woman of all guilt and culpability as many negroes are wont to do because they lust after the acceptance of caucasians and because “Dr. King” tricked them into thinking that coming together with whites is more important than coming together with each other.

In regards to that other issue in Texas, that’s happening all over and will continue to happen. However one chooses to fight against that type of nonsense is their perogative. Those black people have a right to live wherever they want (allegedly) and they also have the right to purchase registered firearms and blow that old woman’s head off like a watermelon if she attacks one of them or steps on their property in a threateng manner again. White people do it to blacks all the time and it doesn’t get reported. In my opinion, when some black people say that “we can’t worry about white people, what about what we do.”, it’s true, but they only say it to take attention off of the white man with the false assumption that black people have to be perfect to get racism to cease. This treatment that our people receive is of the Most High, the white man/woman couldn’t stop hating our people even if they wanted to. This is why negroes always complain about how racist these white sites are. These white people that show out on these websites are the same white people that give you the fake smile by the water cooler or expect you to say “hello” to them first in the morning to establish your subservience. It’s a spiritual and psychological battle. Most black people don’t grasp this. This is also why when you are not subservient to these caucasians, they attempt to subvert you by recruiting the house negroes at the job.

I have no respect for Tiger Woods as a man. With all his father did in terms of teaching him a winning golf swing, he did nothing to teach him how to stand up as a man. Tiger Woods is trying so hard to run away from being a black man that he is letting these cracker motherf**kers walk all over, I’m sorry, do the f**king two step all over his ass. I can remember when he won the masters the first time and the chicken and greens comment was made about him and his weak ass came out saying he thought is was funny!!!!!!???!! Even if you did secretly think that it was funny (which says alot about his own self-esteem), why come out and say that in public? You were making history and you let that white man shit on it and you. Lynching is not a fucking joke. Most blacks in this country have a distant family members who met their end because of a lynching. People talk shit about Shapton but I for 1 am sick of this new generation of weak black men and women who are trying so hard to fit in and make sure no one notices their black skin that they won’t open their mouths for any reason, not even to stand up for themselves or their people. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!! Everytime you create your own little bubble of self-hate with your Korean mother, White wife and Octoroon child, the white folks hit you with a nigger and bust the bitch wide open. So Sad.

@88 & 89

Word the fuck up! And what makes it worse is that notable black producers are doing it in collusion with the white film company owners!

We seriously need to wake the hell up! Even lowbrow white comedies use proper English in the title. It’s just another subtle form of racism - teaching our kids that it’s alright to speak substandard English. Not to mention the idiotic plots of these so-called comedies. Not wanting to sound all high brow, because I DO like low humor, but only in that I balance it with more intelligent reading and movie fare every once in a while.

I don’t think our kids have that choice most of the time considering what’s offered as entertainment nowadays, I Love NY, Flavor Of Love, ad nauseum.

I hope we all grab at least a couple of young un’s we know and treat them to The Great Debaters one weekend.

@ 68 Rhapsody Tiger Woods said it did’nt bother him because he is making good money through tournament earnings, endorsements etc., he does not want some type of racial controversy involving him, it might sabotage future endorsements and business ventures. It is said he is on track to be a billionaire by the time he is 30. Besides the fact he does not consider himself black and is married to a white woman ( that played a part too!), it’s all about making that paper! As far as him not claiming his blackness, his loss. He can claim to be a horse, could’nt care less.

You people are sad how dare you speak bad of MR AL SHARPTON, black people just dont get it this guy still cares about the black race who else is standing up when black women get disrespected whos there AL ,when cops harass black youth whos there again AL again, white people hate him because he stands up point blank he sees right threw them but you people cant, will smith said something about hitler and these people were ready go after him for words he did not say, As for this women she should be fired point blank.. As for MR WOODS if thats his friend what can I say but maybe he should be hung in the back alley..

http://www.worldstarhipho...hp?v=wshh1UQUHL518kXAgjMz

fuck that bitch, she aint shit!!!! they needa stop talkin shit bout us and worry bout their biggest issue…middle east!!! is it me, or are white ppl more scared of black ppl then al-queda???

#91

Are you saying that you disagree with Dr. King’s ideologies? Just curious. Also,
have you ever read anything by Dr. Na’im Akbar and if so what are your thoughts?

what happened in texas? some ppl are talking about some old white woman in texas.

TIGER WOODS IS SUCH A UNCLE TOM, Do you think she would have said those same exact words if he was white. He is stupid, I do not know why Black people celebrate his complicasian (real meaning confused) ass anyway.

The one has spoke..NOW SHUT THE BACK DOOR, and let’s get to TEXAS lets Rally and see if Miss Ann is still feeling foggy!

@74….At the risk of starting a fight, which is not my intent, before your ancestors were enslaved in the Caribbean–they were African. I understand what you are trying to say though…you are a person of African descent with Caribbean roots who happens to live in America….that would take a long time to say so I feel your pain.

I make a habit of not trying to “claim” people who don’t want to be “claimed”…like Tiger. He can be whatever he decides in his head that he wants to be. That’s his issue. And if people like Fuzzy and this latest racist “friend” don’t prove to him that they consider him Black…nothing we say is going to make any difference anyway.

As for the racism and when it will change…I stopped waiting for that a long time ago. I just appreciate knowing where a person stands so that I can adequately protect myself and my family.

Oh…I forgot to say I wish Al Sharpton would shut the $%#@@@@@! up. He is an embarrasment and I don’t remember electing him to speak for me. He is a caricature of a civil rights leader. Everytime I see his name I cringe.

This is a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m off Tiger anyway, but ole girl meant exactly what she said otherwise she wouldn’t have said it. I mean she must really have disdain in her heart for him to say he should be taken in a back alley and lynched. White folks can’t stand the fact that black folks can excell in more than just basketball and football. I guess they feel like we are invading their “white only” sports and outshining them. Too damn bad.

*sing along please* “OH HAPPY DAY OH HAPPY DAY NEFERTARI SPOKE THE TRUTH AND PERM BOY NEEDS TO GO AWAY!!!”

Sharpton- SIT DOWN! how many times do I have to say it again? You are not the spokesperson of the black race!

Ricky Smiley! It’s nice that he’s doing something about it!! Stop the Hate in 08!

Nefertari

why is he embarrasment ?? Because you dont like him ur the same person if cops put they hands on you, I bet u would run to AL who else is going to come to ur side and bring attention to the matter lol..

Its always people who dont have nothin to do with situation who hates Al I never hear the people that he stands up for say anything bad they only praise him, so dont hate its a sickness GROW UP..

Again, I would Like to know what all the people who want Al to sit down has done in the fight?

I say, all Blacks need to bond together and take all our wealth, influence and invention back to Africa and build up our land like we have AMERICA, cause we will never be equal and Whites will always feel as though they own this country. Blacks make this country, that’s why there still afraid of us even in 2008. I can’t stand the act, that we as Blacks seem so comfortable, and relaxed. We rallied for the Jena 6, but Michael Bell still ended up with time (18 months), and we just said and did nothing. We showed them…..

@Jamal #105

I’m going to ignore your “grow up” and offer you the following explanation.

I wouldn’t go get my third grader to handle a problem that I’m having at work. He isn’t qualified to do it. Al Sharpton exists for people who don’t know what else to do except march. I have practiced as a civil rights attorney. If the police put their hands on me or anyone in my famiily, when I finished suing the crap out of the city, I would retire.

Al Sharpton is the same man who demanded that Imus be fired then turned around and said he believed that Imus deserved a second chance…so why campaign to put a bandaid on a huge gaping wound that is bleeding as profusely as racism–then when its barely formed a scab, say “ok….its fixed now”. He is NOT my spokesman. (and I swear most blacks were just mad because he used the word “nappy headed” and god knows that is worse than being called a ho, right? THAT’s sick”.)

Al Sharpton is an embarrasment, because he, like many blacks today, is DELUSIONAL. Let me let you in on a little secret, the reason these things keep happening is because this country, and most of the people in it, are RACISTS and racists don’t care about Al Sharpton’s bama, perm-wearing, inarticulate behind or what he has to say. He is a cartoon. He is going to jump up and down everytime something that even hints of a race issue comes up and by overdoing it, he loses credibility.

However, even racists respond to getting hit in the pockets. They will respond to protect their MONEY. The Montgomery bus boycott was successful for the money the boycott cost the city. Hit them in the pockets.

Pick and choose your fights. Choose them based on strategy and use the best tools at your disposal.
Crying to your oppressor asking him to stop oppressing you is an idiots move.

Finally, I only hate one thing—voluntary ignorance. I hate THAT with a passion.

And I hate the fact that we as a people are so horribly insecure, that we are still wanting racists to validate our existence by asking them to only say “nice” things while underneath they continue to pull the strings that destroy lives.

In my opinion, Al Sharpton is part of the problem, not the solution.

I hope that explanation is enough for you. If not, so be it. It does not change the fact that I do not appoint or allow a person who I think is incapable of the act, to speak for me.

TIGER WOODS IS NOT BLACK HE’S BEIGE!!!

WOODS IS REAL FORGIVING, WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING. WHEN YOU HOLD WRATH IN YOUR HEART IT WILL CONSUME YOU. BUT I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN WHEN HE BRUSHED OFF THE COLLARD GREENS & CORN BREAD COMMENT MADE BY FUZZY ZELLER YEARS AGO. WHICH HE DISMISSED SAYING HE KNOWS FUZZY AND HOW HE KNEW IT WAS JUST A JOKE. NOW THIS?*SCRATCHES HEAD*

@ IAMDARKAQUA #88, I AGREE THAT THE MOVIE MARKET SEEMS TO BE FLOODED W/ THESE YOUNG BLACK DANCE MOVIES WHICH DOES SEEM TO BE INSULTING THAT NONE OF THESE PRODUCTION COMPANIES CAN BACK UP A BLACK FILM PROJECT W/ MORE TO OFFER THAN THIS. AS A YOUNG (IN THE GAME) ACTOR I UNDERSTAND THE SCARCITY OF ROLES W/ INTEGRITY IN THE FILM WORLD, BUT…

THIS MAKES ME WANT TO GO WATCH SPIKE LEE’S BAMBOOZLED…

THAT WAS JUST JOKE.. ..EVERYONE SEEM P**S OFF… I REALLY DONT LIKE THE FACT THAT SHE USED THE WORD “LYNCH”… and to JUDAH …I love what u said Man.. u are 100% right…

God Bless

THIS IS THE VIDEO WHERE SHE THINKS IS FUNNY TO LYNCH Tiger….

“I have practiced as a civil rights attorney. If the police put their hands on me or anyone in my famiily, when I finished suing the crap out of the city, I would retire.”

ok, so you stated what YOU would do if it happened to YOU or someone in YOUR family. What have you done or are doing for the countless others who experience injustices all around this country? NOTHING!

But complain.

sounds like you need to sit your fake ass down.

Nefertari #107

Yes AL he did have a problem with what imus said and he has the right, freedom of speech, you can not go on TV and speak bad about somebodys race or gender, because that race can request that Sponsors withdraw contracts Imus was fired because his company did so, not AL.

Whether you like AL or not thats your opinion ..

SHAWN BELL was my dude When he got murdered nobody cared AL was at my boy’s house the next day holding his son no reporters no lawyers see what you dont understand whether you march whatever you choose to do you have to start somewhere if it was’ nt for AL the real story would have not got out, the cops was trying to say my man had a gun which was a lie.

Yes I marched down jamaica ave with AL, where were all these black organizations?Nobody wanted to touch it, into AL did, I did n’t like AL at first too trust me Because I did not understand why he does what he does you have no idea how proud I was that AL came to my mans defense and nas { paid for the funeral much love always nas} but to cut the long story short AL has a place in my heart for what he did he did not get money for this he did it from his HEART..

SO at the end of the day the cops we all know whats going to happene to them and my mans family is good.. So at the end of the day its ur opinion and my opinion.. much love..

Why are we so upset at this woman using the term “lynch”?! Is it because she’s white?!

EVERYDAY, and I mean EVERYDAY, on a bus, on a train, on the streets, in the classroom, at home, you name it, you’ll hear it. Blacks, young and old, calling each other NIGGER, NIGGA, NICCA, NUGGA . . .and I bet NONE of you pull the coat tails of the people using it, hell you might be saying it. When you know your history, ain’t nothing cute and cool about using the word . . .our ancestors took whippings and die fighting not to be called a nigger!!!!!

You can’t better a class of people, if you can’t even take the time to educate, get an education and lift up your own people or yourself! SOMEONE here made reference to “hisself” there is no such word as “HISSELF”!!!

As Lawrence Fishburn screamed in Spike Lee’s movie . .”SCHOOL DAZE” . . .WAKKKKKEEEEEEEEE UPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

I’m with Sharpton and Smiley, white ppl doin too much!

Who the hell put AL SHARPTON in charge? I don’t remember voting for him. He should just shut the hell up!

I could careless what she said about Tiger Woods, every uncle tom should be lynched or tarred and feathered that goes for Charles Barkley as well he should be hung first.

DON’T SCRATCH YA HEAD BABY BOY….TIGER DOESN’T CLAIM US. TIGER ISN’T DOING ANYTHING TO ROCK HIS MONEY BOAT.

DAVE CHAPELLE SKIT WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY….TIGER WOODS AND ALLAN KEYES NEED TO JOIN FORCES!!! LOL

Why are people upset because this woman use the term “lynch”. Is it because she’s white?! Well that’s an obvious answer, don’t know why I asked.

EVERYDAY, and I mean EVERYY DAYY (with emphasis), on a bus, on the streets, in the classroom, in the club, hell probably even in some of your households, the “N” word is used like a second language. Raise your hand if you pull the coat tails of people using the word . . .hmmm, I don’t see any hands raised.

Do you know that our ancestors endured whippings and died fighting because of the “N” word. Until we can get our own backyards in check, don’t be whining and holler about use of words that ‘offend’ us because we use the same words we are complaining about.

We need to get educated and educate our people first. Shoot, somebody on here used the word “HISSELF” . .there is no such word as “HISSELF” and you are trying to make a statement. Oh pleaseeeee!!!

As Lawrence Fishburn screamed in Spike Lee’s movie “School Daze” WAKKKKKKKEEEEEEE UPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

Uhmmm …Why do people always jump on this race stuff..She chose the wrong words…I am almost thinking that it is someone job to sit and monitor white folks for there use of any word that could be linked to black folks…

And Al need to sit his simple ass down…Whats an insult to all black people…is having black people murder, rob, defame, cut down, crab in barrell other black people…When Al and Jesse and whom ever the hell else address those issues…Then we can talk…Until then sit your ass down

I could care less about Tiger Woods bougie, white-kissing, uncle-tom ass. But I don’t tolerate what that cracker bitch said even more than I tolerate what that old gray-ass wolf Don Imus said. She knows exactly what lynching is that’s why she said it. If she didn’t mean to be offensive and racist then why did she say it? How come she couldn’t say “Take him in a back alley and beat him up?” that would of been a whole lot better plus racist offense wouldn’t even been thought of. Instead she used the word LYNCH, so common sense would tell somebody especially a BLACK PERSON, that it wasn’t right.

Somebody knew it wasn’t right that’s why the situation was brought to the public, while she’s being suspended in the process. But being suspended for two weeks aint shit…I say she should either get fired or suspended for a very long time so she can know that what she said wasn’t cool. But you know what that’s all she’ll get is two weeks and two weeks goes by very fucking fast. She’ll be back on the station like nothing ever happen. Most of this American country is racist anyway, only because the majority of people in it are white. If it wasn’t so then we wouldn’t be having this discussion as we speak. I’m not saying that every white people is racist, that would be ignorant but alot of them don’t care, and especially if the so-called black man aka Tiger Woods don’t care, why should they? Nobody owns America if tiger wanted her punished, she would of been punished i.e. fired.

After all Tiger married one of her, made his money and still making it, wasn’t lynched, don’t think he’s black so why should he really give a damn. My advice is don’t support anything an uncle-tom does.

@112 Jamal, Sorry about your boy.

@91

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying, sis/brother. From a purely pragmatic perspective, why wouldn’t I disagree. Towards the end of his life, even he disagreed with what he was tricked into doing. What has changed since that movement? It’s like if I gave you two glasses and filled them each with 1/2 glass worth of water. You can pour one glass into another glass and trick yourself into thinking that you have more water but your still stuck at the same place that you started. That’s what the civil rights movement was about, getting black people to view perception as reality and effort as gain. I’m not going to go deep into the whole King thing because it’s a touchy topic and honestly, he has surpassed Christ in the minds of our people. King’s memorial day is coming up and I’ll state my opinion on the man then, if it be the Lord’s Will.

As far as Na’im Akbar is concerned, I’ve heard of him faintly but I’ve never read any of his books. I’m not really into Afrocentricity. I read those books when I was a teenager and they’re really a hustle. I still have them and peruse them for edification on the history of the Africans but that’s about all they’re worth. Diop’s books are good and Van Sertima’s books are excellent. The best black history books, in my opinion, are the ones by J.A. Rogers and also “Ancient and Modern Briton” Vols. I & II by David MacRitchie. There’s a market for fabricating black history and, in my opinion, many of these “Afrocentrists” fill that void by trying to claim history that doesn’t apply to our people or trying to make us feel like we’re a part of something. Things like “kwanzaa” and these other doctrines are usually an amalgamation of different religions and pagan holidays that have nothing to do with anything of substance except satanism. These same men will tell you that the Bible is the white man’s book but they cannot really ascertain where our people came from without trying to abduct some remote African civilization’s accomplishments. They’ll also tell you that there are Babylonian, Nubian, and Egyptian records that precede the Bible but they’re actually giving credence to the scriptures by doing that. These Afrocentrist brothers and sisters don’t understand that the caucasian would rather we think that we came from Africa than acknowledge who we actually are.

#88- You said it! It gets so tired when I see these previews for movies and it’s
something that brings a negative demeanor to African American/ Black People. Sometimes, I still believe that the movie industry is still living in this saga where Mammy, Pappy, Jezebel and Sapphire are the only characters that the black man/ black woman is allowed to play.

#5- I can partially understand what you are saying about Texas. However, I believe that there are a lot more states ((and countries)) that are in the same boat. For example, I live in ARKANSAS. I cant tell you how much crap goes on daily where racism involved. There is not a town in this state where you can go and think that you are not being looked at cause of your race. For example, when ever we go to visit family ((in a town that is majority black)), there is this tension in the air… and they still talk to you like, “Can I help you gal?” And it’s not just here in the US. My uncle went to Egypt with his Frats. Some of the people wouldnt help some of his LB’s b/c if their skin was too light, then they automatically had hate towards them. The list could go on and on… but I’m just saying, racism is a global situation.

{{# 44- The world is coming to an end and people are not paying attention, especially when we get breaking news from regular scheduled programs that we are watching stating that Britnay Spears was put in Cedar hospital and blah blah, who cares about Britney? I feel for her children and her mental state of mind but its not a conrcen that should have not been interrupted to let the world know!}}— I know that’s right. Look at this weather. To start the year last tues, the high here was 24 degerees. Then, monday, the high was close to 75 w/ tornadoes were falling out of the sky like crazy, and now it’s falling back down to 45. People are disappearing and dying very often. So many dif. wars are going on (not just overseas but within this country). The signs are def. there!!!

I had to stop and look check for today’s date. ITS ONLY JAN 10TH 2008 AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SHOWING THEIR TAIL! I hope they didnt make any New Year’s goals to not be ignorant. STOP THE HATE & MAKE IT A GREAT 2008!!!

Tiger Woods need to get his head outta his rear and look in the mirror! He is BLACK ! LOVE IT! EMBRACE IT! YOUR BLACK MAN! You can marry the blondest white woman and have the lightest kids you son is STILL black!! What? You think you can go to a KKK rally and say “Its ok guys I’m not Black…I am Cablasian???” WTF…
She should be FIRED and I have a feeling she will be give it time people! And for her to come out the box like that and use the word “lynch” is just beyond me for her being an “educated” white woman!! Damn and for him to just let is slide like that makes me feel that hell he is probably at home joking N-word this and N-word that with his white wifes family and all his “white” friends cause evidentaly he doesn’t know any black people or else he would see why we are ALL upset about what she said and I agree once she said it on air it became a “public comment to the world”…. Can’t wait to see how this plays out …..

I FEEL WHAT Y’ALL ARE SAYING ABOUT SHARPTON NOT BEING SELECTED BY ANYONE TO SPEAK FOR US AND THE N WORD BUT NONE OF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH A WHITE WOMAN CALLING FOR A BLACKS MAN’S OR ANY MAN’S DEATH (WHICH IS WHAT A LYNCHING IS, DEATH BY TORTURE) ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, WHEN ALL HE WAS DOING WAS PLAYING GOLF. IF I GOT ON TV AND SAID THAT ALL THE YOUNG ACTORS OUT THERE SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND PUT A BULLET IN BRAD PITTS HEAD IF THEY WANT TO GET THE GOOD ACTING ROLES DON’T YOU THINK THAT THESE WHITE FOLKS AND SOME BLACKS WOULD WANT MY BLACK ASS LYNCHED FOR REAL. THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY FIND A WAY FOR ME TO DO SOME TIME. ITS NOT EVEN ABOUT RACE WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD CALL FOR A MAN’S DEATH ON TV??????????? SHE SHOULD BE FIRED BECAUSE THAT WAS SO IRRESPONSIBLE.

@115

I agree 100%. Barkley is the worst because this dude sits up and talks about white people and then marries a white woman. At least Tiger Woods is a consistent coon. I know that it’s difficult for a strong-minded black man to deal with some of these black women but it’s important.

****** I just have three words to say*******

FUCK TIGER WOODS!!!!!

Nucca sittin over there lookin like a BIG LIP idiot talkin bout he aint black…thats alright cuz them white folks remind his nigra azz errrytime…!!!

@96 not 91, lol

@112 Jamal,

Thank you for sharing a little more of your understanding as well. I’m prepping for litigation today and sometimes I can’t “turn off” that switch when I’m in fighting mode, but I’m not mad at you for respecting Al Sharpton. I respect your opinion and I appreciate that you have respect for my right to have mine. And yes, its all love.

I give him an credit for being there with you during the Shawn Bell incident. He does show up when none of our other politicians show up. I disagree with his methods and his strategy, but I don’t question his sincerity.

@ 121

I’m interested in why you think that he ended up having a change of heart towards to the end. I’ll keep an eye in case you care to eleborate in a few weeks.
Someone was telling me about Dr. Akbar, I haven’t actually read anything yet. I was just curious as to your opinion about it if you had one. I’m going to check out those others book you’ve mentioned though.

I agree.

The winner of Master’s Golf Tournament gets to select the banquet dinner for the following year! Here’s what happened when Tiger won his first Master’s:

Fuzzy Zoeller’s (old white dude) comments at the Masters were: “That little boy is driving well and he’s putting well. He’s doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not serve fried chicken next year. Got it?”

Then Zoeller smiled, snapped his fingers, and walked away. Then he turned and added, “or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve.”

=================================================

Tiger played it down as no big deal!

When his father use to sneak him onto the all-white gold courses where he worked, Tiger said that what hurt him most was the racial slurs he was called as a young child! So, he learned to fight on the golf course rather than defend himself for having dark skin! His dad married an Asian woman and kept him from black people! So, its easy for him to disassociate his fathers culture, but two of his closest friends are Michael Jordan and Charles Barkeley!

Tiger, Obama, Venus and Serena all had to overcome the stereotypes in historically white professions! Trust me, Obama would have to down play such comments also! And, the Williams sisters have some very painful stories they could tell, but their dad, Richard is straight from the hood and he has told a few folks off along the way.

Hell, even Chicken George in “Roots” played it off until he got what he wanted! People have a right to downplay personal attact, but the watchdogs like Al, Tyra and Jesse have their jobs or “callings” as Ms. Banks puts it! This way, everyone can come out refreshed. Imus got his job back, the Rutgers women got national praise, Al got to tell Imus off, and the standards for injustice were tested for the better!

This is why Hip-Hop is so powerful! Rappers, chickenheads and monguls can get what they want without dancing to anyones music! They call the shots! Even CL has to pull back a photo of Rihanna every now and then. Blogs have to be closed when things get too carried away! And, as we know…the rappers and chickenheads take it way to far sometimes! “Criminals Gone Wild”! WTF?

Kelly Tilghman was wrong to talk about “lynching” and she got put in check! When she talks about Tiger in the future, she will always be careful selecting her words! That’s the learning curve to gaining mutual respect!

Developing…

Tiger is half asian (25% thai and 25% chinese) and a quarter african-american. He looks black though. I definitely understand the confusion he may have and the questions he grew up with. What are you going to identify yourself with? Will you look at OUTER APPEARANCE, GENETICS or the CULTURE you grew up with?

I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but some of the comments about Al Sharpton I think are uncalled for. I’m glad he stood up and said something regarding Kelly’s remarks. Some of the comments I’m reading act like they could care less with what she said. I don’t think Al Sharpton should let her get away with what she said because if he never said anything I’m sure herself and other white people would think it’s okay to say whatever they want to about black people. I don’t understand why she thought it was okay to say lynch anyways. With everything that’s happening in this country regarding the remarks made by Don Imus and Michael Richards plus the Jena 6 situation I don’t understand why she would say the word lynch. I could see if she said to beat up or something like that but what she said was racist and I think she should be fired for it.

mr. sharpton,

give it a rest.

I disagree with #1. I believe that it takes a person of awesome character to recognize these things for what they are…….unabashed intimidation of the black race. I mean, who is this lady, anyway? Has she accomplished anything anywhere near what Tiger Woods has accomplished? She is an ignorant white woman. I come in contact with a lot of those kinds of people daily. But you learn how to recognize it for what it is, and keep going. Tiger isn’t worried about a stupid comment; it doesn’t phase him. Look at the source of where the comment came from! Her saying all kinds of stupid things about him isn’t going to change the fact that Tiger Woods IS who he is, and her ignorance can never diminish what he has accomplished. An ignorant person only has the very basest of weapons to fight a soldier with, and he or she knows that they can never win. She made herself, and her race, look stupid. We all must begin doing the same thing. Let these people look like the asses that they are all on their own, while putting our energies into making sure that they don’t take away our chances to enjoy the same freedoms, rights, and privileges that they do, by passing laws and denying us rights that our forefathers gave their lives for us to take advantage of.

Come on!!!! Why are we still being victims of racism in 2008!!!!!! Just today in my AP class my teacher was talking about how racism is almost completely nonexistent, what BULLSHIT when we still hear of incidents like this. It seems to me we hear of stories like this month after month!!!!!

*Also my English teacher frequently and unabashedly reads the n-word in Huckleberry Finn when reading the novel aloud (it uses it on almost every page twice), not at least having the respect to pause and skip the word. This from a teacher who won’t but the word GOD on a test.

I’m So Done

Racism is still alive they just be concealing it- Kanye West

White people do not care at all they will say anything.

Like someone said this is not 1958 it is 2008 and racism still extist which is sad.

Tiger Woods -you are still a black man, stop saying that you are cablasaisan or whatever you call it. In America if a mixed race person that has black blood in them, they are still consider black whether they’re biracial, octoroon,qaudroon, or look like a white person like Jael from America’s Next Top Model. Tiger stop kissing white people’s asses because they do not care about you.

That white woman know she was wrong for saying what she said, but does she care no.

I hope one day that Tiger’s daugther or future children bring home a black person and have some black children. That also goes for the octoroons, quadroons or people that look like Jael from ANTM.

Al Sharpton makes me so sick, he is a media whore. I don’t agree with her getting fired. They probably shouldn’t have suspended her either but they just did that to shut Al and all the spotlight grabbing “so called Black leaders” up.

Oh please, Tiger doesn’t care because he doesn’t consider himself black so why should we care about what she said about him. I could care less.

Sure she should have thought about what she said but it’s a slip. I don’t care especially when the person she is speaking of doesn’t even consider himself apart of my community kick rocks!!!

@ #25,

YOU ARE RIGHT! However, even thought UNCLE TOMMY TIGER let her off the hook, the man saying “take him in a back alley” and her completing the visual with “and lynch” him is serious.

That is why I will NEVER support Tiger Woods. He is a COON in the highest order.
If it weren’t for the blood, sweat and tears of HARRIET TUBMAN, EMMIT TILL, MEDGAR, MALCOLM, SAARTJIE BAARTMAN, ELIJAH McCOY, DUBOIS, WALTER WHITE, HOLIDAY, ELLA, ETC. this CamblaCOON Woods wouldn’t be able to walk on a golf course.

No one is asking The CamblaCoon to say he is black, but for f*cks sake, if someone talks about lynching you ass, address the issue.

The sad part is that he is a multimillionaire and may never be caught on a dirt road in Mississippi or Birmingham by an angry white mob. So I guess he doesn’t have to care.

I pray for the day this CamblaCoon gets his N*gg*er Moment!! In time my friends… in time…

The only thing killing black people– is black people.
Ignorance, illiteracy, teen pregnancy, Aids, the breakup of the Black family, more ignorance, “Black on Black” violence, incarceration, the welfare system….and the list goes on.
Why can’t Al, Jesse and all their cohorts go work on fixing those issues before yappin’ about another foolish whitey’s words? This is getting very lame.

Thank you #138 I wish these so called leaders will face the real life issues that go on EVERYDAY in our community. That’s all!

Barack Obama President 2008!! Go Obama !!!

Ok. Let me silence some of this drama over what that woman said. I usually just read everyone’s opinion but I didn’t finish the first page before getting a little heated. First, you must know the whole story before giving an opinion. Basically, the woman’s co-anchor stated that some of the young newbies to golf should gang up on Tiger so they would have a chance at winning. His female co-anchor interrupted and ended his statement while laughing and said, “yeah… they should take him to a back alley and lynch him.”

Now I do feel she used the wrong word. If she would have said take him to a back alley and beat him would people be as mad? The word lynch is what gets people in an uproar. It’s a word that is very sensitve in the black community just like the n-word.

Her personal relationship with Tiger is between them two. Whether he forgives her or not has nothing to do with you or me. I really do think this is a non-issue. And I’m growing even more disgusted with Mr. Al Sharpton. I could think of 100 of things he could be protesting right now other than this b.s.

As far as Tiger considering himself everything under the sun but black. That’s his opinion. I’m not going hold against him something he said years ago. Yeah it sucked, yeah I think its messed up he can’t identify with the black community. But again, that’s on him. Why should I or you be up in arms about that? Tiger accepting his blackness isn’t going to help be prosper, it isn’t going to make my day, or make be feel somehow validated. Who cares?

Please find something else to debate and get pissed about other than race issues. Especially thoses fueled wrongly by the mass media which continues to exacerbate situations by giving Al Sharpton a forum to spew b.s. And trust, I wouldn’t have taken the time to write this if I wasn’t a member of the media and see how things work. I love what I do but I hate those who are irresponsible when it comes to journalism. Wake up people… get the facts from multiple sources before opening your mouths. And still question what you’re reading b/c there always more than two sides to a story. People will respect your opinion more when backed by facts. That will be all.

I sorry but this is ridiculous…she said she was joking the comment was very wrong but he forgave her and overlooked it. I so tired of everything something happens all of a sudden we have to stand up and defend it, I know who and what I am and that’s something that no one can take away from me, no matter what I am. If she said it, yes it’s wrong and she got suspended, so can we get over it. Racism is still around and just because you take away their jobs doesn’t mean thats going to change thier views.

And

I’m so tired of Al Sharpton. He is so quick to jump on the TV and make all these statements whenever he hears something about what someone said. I’m not saying that he’s wrong but why is it that I only see him on the news, in videos, and in pictures at some hip hop party. I don’t think he’s standing up for this because he truly believes in it, it’s because loves being in front of the camera (I sorry but that’s what I think) Why is it that I don’t see him at the schools or at community centers? If you want to better people and help them change do it from where it starts; on the streets, and more importantly with the youth, the future. don’t show you face everything you hear the word “Black.”

I know for a fact that while he’s issuing statements, talking to news reports, and “hanging” with the stars, kids are out there fighting anf joining gangs. I understand his intentions but not what a feel is his need for attention. He want to make the world a better place for everyone, but while he’s on TV trying to better the country, we still have some kids are out their; black, white, hispanic, asain, all races are still our there making it worse.

There’s nothing you can do no to change the older population in America, some may change but the people set in their ways won’t. I feel that the best way to change this country and the world is not to change the older population but teach the youth that racism and all other forms of hate are wrong, and not just against black people but against all races.
