Woods Scandal Exposes Blacks As True Racists

CLEVELAND - I've always been very proud of being an African-American, but that doesn't mean that I will ignore it when my fellow Blacks show their racial ignorance. The Tiger Woods sex scandal has brought out the very worse in my people and it is quite frankly, an embarrassment.

Seriously.

Woods, the legendary golfer and multi-millionaire product endorser has been in hiding during the past three weeks after a mysterious car crash morphed into a full expose of his habitual adultery. With the national media ripping his once squeaky clean public image to shreds, Woods has become persona non-grata for many Americans but remains a deity to many others. In no way will this setback taint his colossal legacy in the long run, but for now Woods is taking some very hard hits.

Many Blacks, especially women have vilified Woods because of his marriage to a white woman. Indeed, Elin Nordegren is a blonde beauty and has children with Woods, who himself is part Asian, Native American, Dutch and Black. To those in the black community, Woods is a black man plain and simple. As a result of this thinking, they have often expressed disdain at Woods for referring to himself as "Cablinasian," a term he coined to describe his entire ethnicity. Add in the facts of the ongoing sex scandal, which has revealed that each of the many mistresses that Woods has cheated on his wife with have all been pale faced white women, many with blonde hair and you get a nation of black women wanting to all but assassinate Woods.

Ignorant.

What I've read in the past few weeks from esteemed blacks is that Woods should be with a black woman. I've also read that many black women are infuriated that wealthy and famous black men seem to purposely seek out white women to have as wives, girlfriends etc. instead of "their own kind." They cite pro athletes such as O.J. Simpson, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Woods as being major offenders. Journalist Bryant Gumbel, mogul Russell Simmons and musician Seal are on the list as well for being "sell outs." No one ever mentions that Jordan was married to a black woman for 17 years and had three children with her. They also never mention that his new girlfriend isn't white, she's Cuban. Not that it matters. Or that Simpson had three children with his first wife, who happened to be black. All that gets talked about is how these super successful black men choose a white woman at some point in their life and how that is akin to committing a crime.

Yeah okay.

I even read a quote from a scholarly black woman who said she's happy that President Obama is married to a black woman and that if he'd married a white woman, then she would have thought twice about voting for him. That is one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard anyone say. Obama is bi-racial. His black father abandoned him as a child and he was raised by his white mother and white grandparents. That is where his intelligence and confidence developed; in a loving white upbringing. Yet, it would have made him less appealing to many black voters if he had married a white women, even though that was probably the most likely thing to happen given his upbringing and who showed him the most love as a child and adolescent.

People are stupid.

Obama is thought of and packaged as our first black president, so therefore many blacks choose to only see him as black. In truth, he has as much right being with a white woman as anyone else has. Same with Woods. His mother is Chinese, Thai and Dutch...but according to the idiots, the small part of black in him is what he should focus on more. Whatever. It sickens me to say this, but black folks that have these opinions only want to be able to lay claim to the black people that have done extraordinarily well for themselves. That's why they claim bi-racial stars like Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and Halle Berry as being singularly black when they aren't. If a bi-racial person did something horrible and criminal, would these black people claim them as readily?

Doubtful.

During the slave days and the segregated era of the first sixty plus years of the 20th century, black people were angered at the double standard that existed in this country. The White man treated us unfairly solely because of our race and nothing else. Equality didn't exist, which is exactly what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. fought so hard for. We still don't have it all the way, but things are much better. So when Blacks are being just as bad as Whites have been (stick with your own kind, Boy), it makes us all look bad.

Get a clue my Black people.
