Tiger Woods accused of being a racist hound

From the AP:
Tiger's troubles widen his distance from blacks

By JESSE WASHINGTON

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 question everyone in America wants to ask you is, how many white women does one brother waaant?"

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 [black] blogosphere."

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.

It's more accurate to say that Tiger has declined to identify himself as solely black, in the way that Barack Obama has.

Keep in mind that both of Tiger's parents were highly mixed too. Both were 1/4th Chinese, for example. His father was also 1/4th American Indian while his mother was 1/4th European.

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.

On the one hand, Ebonie Johnson Cooper doesn't care that Tiger Woods' wife and alleged mistresses are white because Woods is "quote-unquote not really black."

"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."

Black women have long felt slighted by the tendency of famous black men to pair with white women, and many have a list of current transgressors at the ready.

"We've discussed this for years among black women," said Denene Millner, author of several books on black relationships. "Why is it when they get to this level ... they tend to go directly for the nearest blonde?"

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.

Carmen Van Kerckhove, founder of the race-meets-pop-culture blog Racialicious, said there have been frequent discussions on her site about the fine line between preference and fetish.

"Is there any difference between a white guy with a thing for blondes, and a non-white guy with a thing for blondes?" asked Van Kerckhove, who has a Chinese mother, a Belgian father and a husband born in America to parents from Benin.

She claims that Asians don't fully embrace Woods, either.

"There are two layers of suspicion toward him," Van Kerkhove said. "One toward the apparent pattern in the race of his partners, and the second in the way he sees himself. ... People have been giving him the side-eye for a while."

There's nothing wrong with wanting a mate who shares your culture, as long as it's for the right reasons, the comedienne Sheryl Underwood said after unleashing a withering Woods monologue on Tom Joyner's radio show.

"Would we question when a Jewish person wants to marry other Jewish people?" she said in an interview. "It's not racist. It's not bigotry. It's cultural pride."

"The issue comes in when you choose something white because you think it's better," Underwood said. "And then you never date a black woman or a woman of color or you never sample the greatness of the international buffet of human beings. If you never do that, we got a problem."

So, the complaint here is that there are no allegations as of yet that Tiger has cheated on his wife with a black or Asian or, presumably, an American Indian, Samoan, or pygmy negrito woman. I don't know, but considering how fast allegations are pouring in, that may just be a problem that takes care of itself.

Obama's selection of a black wife and his black preacherish singsong at the 2004 Dem convention were the two clearest signals to me that not only did he harbor serious political ambitions but he had a darned good chance at whatever office he chose.

Yes, Jews get excused from racist behavior all the time. White parents want white daughter to marry white man = RACIST. Jewish parents want Jewish daughter to marry Jewish man = CULTURAL PRIDE or (ETHNO)RELIGION.

Can white (that would be European-American) parents say they want their white daughter to marry a white man for reasons of cultural pride, too? If any choice deserves to be off-limits to Diversicrats, the choice of whom an individual choooses to marry (and who parents wish for their child to marry) would I think be one of them.

That's because the assumption is that white people want their daughters to marry within their ethnicity because no other ethnicity is good enough. No one makes that assumption about minorities wanting their daughters to marry within ethnic lines because minorities have historically had lower social status as thus have less reason to think they are better than other ethnicities. Racism is a form of elitism; thus it's oxymoronic to call members of less elite ethnicities racist.

The fact that he didn't strike back, going to the hospital for stitches while his wife remained physically untouched, shows just how out of touch Tiger is with the black community.

No that's not more accurate. Tiger Woods can not be both black & Asian anymore than he can be both tall & short. If you have significantly more sub-Saharan genes than the aveage person you are black just as if you have significantly more height than the average person you are tall. Both vary as a function of the country you are in, so Tiger might be tall & non-black in America, but black & non-tall in the Netherlands. Tiger has made the subjective judgement that he does not have enough sub-Saharan genes to qualify as black in America, just as a man who is 5'11" might make the subjective judgement that he doesn't have enough height to be considered tall in America. Tiger might also be thinking that his East Asian genes cancel out his sub-Saharan genes, in contrast to Obama whose non-black genes are white & thus genetically neutral.

Agreed. I'd be shocked if Tiger hadn't sampled the greatness of the international buffet of human beings at least once or twice.

In the unlikely event that Tiger is also found to have had affairs with black women, they will doubtless turn out to be of the light-skinned Halle Berry variety.

What do (or did) Elin and Tiger talk about over the dinner table? If I met a girl at a sports bar, and we had dinner, we could poke fun at the BCS, or Tim Donaghy on 60 minutes, or Brett Favre's age. What do Tiger and Elin have in common?

Nothing.

His problem is he probably didn't get along with his wife well enough to spend a lot of time with her. He had to look elsewhere for his excitement, like a Pilgrim moving to the US since there is no land for sale in England.

If he married someone he got along with, he'd spend more time at home, or his wife would spend more time on the road, and maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Tiger Woods personality as a result of his upbringing and profession are very white so its doubtful he has much in common with many black women, and its probable his ideal woman is not black.

Unfortunately, we'll never know.

With his fame he's unable to meet on the same level with most ladies, hence Tiger's need to screen women using very superficial criteria.

I think he would have a great time married to a female golfer and there's a fair number of good looking ones if that's his thing.

I didn't feel like I knew Tiger anyway since he was so "private" before, I'm looking forward to new version.

The problem, it would seem, is that Tiger Woods--in contrast to Barack Obama--actually IS post-racial.

""There's just this preservation thing we have among one another. We like to see each other with each other.""

It's not about preservation, it's about the fact that blacks don't like the fact that they aren't desired by other races. As noted in the article they are the least likely to date outside of their; race; a big part of the reason is that other races don't want to date them (unless they're rich and preferrably mixed). That's where the anger comes from. And if Woods' mistresses had been black, you can bet black women would be crowing about it, saying how it was proof they were the queens, how their booties were all that, etc., even though everyone knows it's not true.

And it's not just black women, I'll note. As a white woman, I've had plenty of black men get pissy when I wouldn't go out with them and say "it's cause I'm black, right?" and other white and Asian women have that said to them too. I've dated Asians and Hispanics and I can say yes, if you're a black guy, you have a mark against you with a lot of women of the non-black races.

Keep contributing, Saywhat, you're cracking me up.

It's nice to know that my entirely white genes (well, there was supposedly that Sioux great-great-great grandmother) are all "genetically neutral." What the hell does that mean? That they don't do anything? That I'm a figment of my own imagination?

kurt9 said...

Tiger Woods is right in defining himself as "Cablinaisn". Despite his skin color, he actually does not look black to me at all. He looks more Malay (S.E. Asian) to me. He is of sufficiently mixed race that he cannot be described as any of the races that make up his background. Why should he be considered "black" over any of the rest of his racial heritage? The fact that he recognizes all of his racial heritage indicates to me that he is well-balanced, emotionally speaking, and truly understand who he is. This is more that can be said for current president.

Symbiotic relationships, perhaps?

Fascinating. So the genes of different races have .. polarity? Charge? Ph? The genes of white people are neutral while those of Asians are acidic and those of blacks are alkaline?

There's a whole new branch of genetics here waiting to be explored.

What is interesting is to note the sexual choices of Black guys who are rich and famous. Ice T (wife Coco), Jay-Z (Beyonce), Puff Daddy (JLo), Chris Brown (Rihanna), Seal (Heidi Klum). Also, some of the women had a modicum of fame too. Coco was a Playboy Playmate, Beyonce, Rihanna, and JLo are famous singers who dabble in acting and make lots of money. Klum is a supermodel.

It seems when left to choice, women prefer dark men. While men prefer lighter women.

Well, Beyonce and Rhianna are both black (or part-black), so it's not strange they've gone for black men. Jennifer Lopez dumped Mr. Puffy and has now settled down with fellow puertorriqueño Marc Anthony.

I think they did it because otherwise they would be quickly ignored by people who check a box and eliminate black women from their search results.

Hey, this is the first interesting thing to happen in golf in my lifetime. Shouldn’t The Men Who Run Golf try to exploit, rather than suppress, it? Why not let each pro-tour golfer bring his string of transcontinental Charlenas along with him on the tour?

They could be fitted out in colorful, two-piece suits, like the Redskinettes or Dallas Cowgirls, grab some pom-poms and lead cheers for their man at each hole, then lead boos to rattle their opponents. Why should golfers, who after all only have to knock a little ball a few yards into a hole, enjoy absolute silence, while pro quarterbacks, who have to throw a ball 50 yards accurately with 1,500 pounds of rushers trying to break their necks, must put up with a little crowd participation?

Add beer commercials and you would have the makings of a real sport.

Everyone seems to leave out the fact tiger wood is living in America and the West, where White women are the ideal form of beauty. According to the media, Everything and everyone white is desirable, and everything and everyone non white is undesirable. This is what most folks, of all races, believes in. Tiger, as a 100% non white person, has married to marry and is going to date white. That's his right, as an American citizen, but it's a necessary of action to join the mainstream culture and to be accepted by the mainstream. Obama is different, he married black. He's half white though. He doesn't have to be marry white because he's already half there. imo

That's because the assumption is that white people want their daughters to marry within their ethnicity because no other ethnicity is good enough.

No, it's because only other whites make it possible for their daughters to reproduce. Child from two whites (or blacks or Jews) = reproduction; child from white and non-white = mutation.

No one makes that assumption about minorities [sic] wanting their daughters to marry within ethnic lines because minorities [sic] have historically had lower social status as [sic] thus have less reason to think they are better than other ethnicities.

It's not true that non-whites (which you stupidly call "minorities") have "historically had lower social status", and it's not true that non-whites do not think they are better than other ethnicities. But even if we accept those premises, they still don't support your distinction between endogamy based on feelings of superiority and endogamy based on something else. How in the hell does one qualify as wrong, while the other is okay? You've relied on some really crazy implicit premises in reaching that conclusion.

ben tillman said...

That's because the assumption is that white people want their daughters to marry within their ethnicity because no other ethnicity is good enough.

Really? That's quite a passive construction. The assumption by whom? To the extent some people have made such an assumption, does it have any basis in fact?

Of course not.

When you refuse to give me the contents of your bank account, can we assume that you consider yourself superior to me? Or should we simply assume that you understand that you and I are different people and that you want your money (and other resources) to be devoted to the service of your own interests regardless of how you stack up against me qualitatively?

The same goes for reproduction.

Parents want their children to marry within the ethnic group not because outsiders are worse but because outsiders are diferent. Reproductive capacity of members of an ethnic group is a resource of the group, and the group quite rightly expects that resource to be devoted to continuing the life of the group by producing new members of the group.

Your double standard that would prohibit whites from reproducing while allowing others to do so is straightforwardly genocidal.

What a simple-minded statement. This goes under the same heading that blacks can't be racist, right? As a black, I've known dozens of black mothers who did not want their sons intimate with white girls/women, because they did not want it to lead to marriage. One would say to me, "I don't want any little white brats sitting at my Thanksgiving table."

Of course, I agreed with them entirely, just as I agree with whites who feel the same way.

Yes, I've been told about many encounters like this by white friends. These black guys have the nerve to play the race card in order to intimidate white women. Given the indoctrination that is so thorough in this country concerning race, I've often wondered how many reluctant women have relented, due only to the fear of appearing "racist."

Some groups marry out in considerable numbers, usually the more successful ones (Jews, East Asians). Groups whose members are less individually successful have to rely more on ethnic solidarity. Hence the pressure for endogamy.

Unintentional humor - the best kind there is.

A lot of the orthodox racists' contribution to the conversation with unorthodox racists is useful to the latter's purposes. I see it all the time. The classic example is when an article about a given black crime allows comments and comes to the attention of a lot of unorthodox (e.g., via Amren or Drudge). Their comments draw out what the orthodox are really thinking. Fighting fire with fire is an big-time loser for the orthodox, but they do it anyway. They don't seem to know open animus against whites is an accelerant.

in contrast to Obama whose non-black genes are white & thus genetically neutral.

So being white is ethnically "neutral", basically a non-ethnicity? Whitness is the absence of ethnicity. Yet white is the elite ethnicity. Got it?

"I for one am happy to accept Tiger as a proud member of the White race."

From a genetic perspective he's every bit as white as his Nordic wife. As I tried to explain, his Black genes & his East Asian genes cancel each other ot, leaving him with caucasoid DNA, explaining his preference for white women & white sports. Whites are just the missing link as humans evolved from Blacks (the earliest & most warm climate adapted race) into mongoloids (the newest & most cold adapted race)(See Rushton). Whites will eventually go extinct like all evolutionary intermediates.

Hence the reason he married his Michelle. He was viewed with suspicion as a half-white Hawaiian outsider upon entry to the Chicago political landscape. Obama was chasing his elusive blackness the moment he left the islands. He needed a wife that would give him credibility with the working class and poor Chicago Southside constituency and affirm his racial identity as black despite being a mulatto.

He also needed a mate that was well-educated and ambitious, yet still more brash than bougie. He obviously didn't marry her for her beauty or because she was so demure.

albertosaurus said...

The reason black women are upset about rich black men consorting with white women, especially blondes is that white women are more desirable than black women. Facts hurt. Presumably a rich attractive young sports star like Woods can have any kind of woman he wants. No one should be surprised that he chooses blondes.

Rich men typically drive a Mercedes, Lexus or Rolls Royce. That's why Gordon Getty was considered a kook years ago when he chose to drive an AMC Pacer.
Michelle Obama is more like a Chysler Mini-Van - utilitarian. Tiger wanted a Porsche turbo kind of wife. Seems reasonable to me.

Mrs. Woods is a trophy wife. Woods' career is one in which he collects trophies. What could be more natural?

I must do some research. I'm going to go to the local sex shop and see if they have any blow up dolls that have been created to look like Michelle Obama.

"It's usually not a lack of physical attractiveness that stops sensible white & Asian women from dating black men."

Some white and Asian women might find them physically attractive, but black men still get the message that they aren't found attractive overall (which includes things besides physical appearance), and that makes them angry.

An Asian friend of mine briefly dated a black guy, and apparently all he did the whole time was complain about white guys. She took it as pure jealousy. I've never dated one, but I've gotten the same vibe in conversations or when they've hit on me.

"Black women have long felt slighted by the tendency of famous black men to pair with white women, and many have a list of current transgressors at the ready."

And the reason for this jealousy is that there is a shortage of marriageable black men since so many are incarcerated, or addicted or diseased or...this reminds me of a story from 3 jobs ago. I was eating lunch in the company cafeteria on a Monday when I overheard the 2 black women at the table behind me talking about their social life over the weekend.

I wonder,financially speaking,how well "club managers" and "cocktail waitressess" and "reality show contestants" and "ex-porn stars" are doing these days? Tiger seems to me to be less of a poon hound and more of a little lord Fauntleroy,or the well-dressed wealthy mommas boy in the Dead End Kids movies that Slip Mahoney,Tommy and Satch beat the living hell out of. he is filthy rich and the best at what he does in the world,but he seems like a loser trying to find happines with these skeazy broads.And he is getting clobbered by the snickering media. No Mick Jagger or Tom Jones is he,no libertine having the time of his life. He looks mopey and miserable in the pre-SUV pics printed all over the place. And why does Elin have to wear sunglassess all the time? And misspell her own name? Like"Shirlee" and "Cindee" and what not.(yes I know she's from Sweden...or is it Switzerland?) Dont you hate that!? Anyway as sson as this started I said to m'self:Tiger will not have gone NEAR a Black woman!!I was right!

This blog post was depressing.

I just learned that my chances of ever getting with a white or asian chick are significantly lower than those of white and asian men :(

As a black man, this makes me sad. I can handle rejection based on physical appearance but I think it's unfair and a bit racist to reject someone on the basis that their genes are Alkaline. The former can be altered with bleaching cream and extensive plastic surgery, but the former? Beyond my control.

For that reason, I was deeply hurt by a2's comments. I'm not mad at it though. The girl Victoria (assuming she's really black, and I have my doubts)would be more than happy to date a guy like me.

Long as blacks don't "date out" y'all won't have to worry about the white race going extinct. Remember, Asians are considered white in a sense. In terms of genetics and appearance, they're more similar to whites than blacks, and so whites don't have as many hang ups over dating/marrying them.

Hispanics (whatever the hell that means)also make decent romantic partners, for similar reasons. Black genes are the only genes that completely cancel out white genes, thereafter reducing them to lowest terms.

So, what should whites do to avoid extinction? Open your hearts and minds (and your legs too, ladies)to Hispanics, Asians and all non-blacks in an effort to assimilate them into mainstream (white) society. Don't worry about blacks tainting your gene pool. The white race will not go extinct!

Gosh damnit I meant to say "the latter can be altered with plastic surgery"

The girl Victoria (assuming she's really black, and I have my doubts) ...

You can doubt that I'm black all you wish. Like Harlem's Pastor Manning, I'm one of those blacks who wants to see the white race survive, strictly for selfish reasons -- because there are no coloreds on this earth who will ever present to the world all the benefits that I enjoy in life. Like the black journalist, Keith Richburg, I too am glad that those Africans were dragged kicking and screaming to these shores. From the little aspirin, to antibiotics, to chemotherapy, I count myself lucky to have been born here, and not over THERE!

And she was right. Jealousy is at the heart of so much black male grievance disguised as anger towards "social injustice."

Was that Shakespeare guy a genius or what?

Oooh, the psycology in that post was way to slick form me, bro. I would have never been able to figure out that you were really a geeky white guy from your post.

Never.

"You can doubt that I'm black all you wish."

I'm black and I enjoy all the benefits of living in America too. Nor am I upset that Africans were brought to America. I wouldn't even exist if it weren't for all of the events preceeding my birth.

However, I can't say that I really care if the white gene pool becomes "tainted". Technically, it's not even possible for a race to die out through miscegation. Keep in mind that 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation bi-racials will not necessarily inherit African and European genes from both of their parents. So even if everyone was mixed, there would still be a significant number of "white people". It's all a matter of probability.

If that doesn't ease your fears about losing asprin and chemotherapy, just remember that it's not like most people date or marry outside their ethnic group anyway.

I think you really fear the destruction of western culture, it's focus on science and technology, and the handfull of extremely bright scientists and inventors who produce all of those wonderful things you mentioned. The average white person can't be credited with American blacks having a greater standard of living and access to medical care.

I just hate the fact that racist whites are fixated on the small percentage of blacks who actually do procreate interacially; And yes, I think the reason they're indifferent towards Asian/white and "Hispanic"/white relationships is because they know that it's not really possible to remain "pure".

Since these races are more evolved than blacks in their eyes, they would rather assimilate them into the white gene pool. The sole purpose is to expand the definition of white, in the event of total genetic annihilation.

How come my comment didn't get posted Steve?

You know that deep down, many white people feel this way. They only whine about black men dating and/or marrying white women because they're scared of going extinct and their lax attitude towards mestizo/white and asian/white pairings is based on the belief that these groups are genetically and physically on par with whites, or at least a ''notch'' above black people on the evolutionary scale.

That's why U.S. Government agencies classify virtually anyone of non-African descent as "white", whether they like it or not. Keeps the white race from going extinct.

I think that explains you and your readers' obsession with "blacks". By the way, the vast majority of black women are not upset over Tiger Woods and who he chooses to sleep with, or what he chooses to call himself, just as most white women aren't.

Truth,
So because Anonymous sounds less than confident with women, he can't be black, right? Obviously, everybody knows that all black men are playas. There's a stereotype we like, especially if "we" are black males.

In fact, Anonymous sounds like the guy Truth once insulted as "Chocolate Testing." He was from Texas, and Anonymous does say "y'all" here.

Ironically, Anonymous himself also doubts that Victoria is black. I think he's wrong there as well.

Diversity really does lead to low trust, eh?

Full disclosure: I'm Asian.

Perhaps Tiger should not have married if he was a born Cheetah?

"So because Anonymous sounds less than confident with women, he can't be black, right? Obviously, everybody knows that all black men are playas. There's a stereotype we like, especially if "we" are black males."

Paradoxically, this is one of the PRINCIPLE REASONS for the decay and destruction of the Black racial community, both here in America and wherever there are appreciable numbers of Blacks abroad.

Sometimes our buddy Truth bombs at his attempts at sarcasm and snark.

Don't worry, we know your heart is in the right place, and still love ya anyway man.

Though i don't necessarily agree with what Anonymous and Victoria have to say (my views are somewhat similar but not identical to Victoria's), it's funny that one has to come to Sailer's blog to meet fellow black people who can discuss racial matters with half a clue.

"Don't worry, we know your heart is in the right place, and still love ya anyway man."

Well that's appreciated. Sorry by the way gents that I did not assign any homework this week. I had to suspend school as I was on a business trip and you were the last thing on my mind.

But now that I'm back, I expect some very good dissertations.

Truth said...

Point of reference:

I haven't taken an aspirin in 10 years, or used an anti-biotic since I was in grade school.

BTW, I did not assume that anonymous was black because of his lack of confidence with women. First of all, it's possible that EVERY poster is black here, just as it's possible that we are all white, that's the beauty of the internet. I would doubt that either of those is the case, but...

As for that particular blogger, I think the rather sniveling nature of his post on a forum such as this. It reeks of a white guy doing an improvised "stay with your own" psy-op. But hey, a few of you seem equally confused so I guess his being black is possible.

"Hence the reason he married his Michelle. He was viewed with suspicion as a half-white Hawaiian outsider upon entry to the Chicago political landscape. Obama was chasing his elusive blackness the moment he left the islands. He needed a wife that would give him credibility with the working class and poor Chicago Southside constituency and affirm his racial identity as black despite being a mulatto.

He also needed a mate that was well-educated and ambitious, yet still more brash than bougie. He obviously didn't marry her for her beauty or because she was so demure."
...wow...i guess marrying because you love someone must have gone out of style.in terms of michelle's beauty, she may not be beautiful to you, but she obviously was attractive enough for Obama to marry and to make two kids with. how many of these know-it-alls are even around black people? Are any of you actually black? I just find it odd the assumptions that are made on this blog, as if you know everything there is to know about african-americans.

One thing that HBD people always forget about is that there must also be human variation in the way we relate to the other sex. HDBers and the roissy fans particularly just can't seem to wrap their head around the possibility of some men having non stereotypical taste when it comes to women. Some idiot on another thread says that Clinton "wasted" his alphaness on monica Lewinski. So Clinton just can't possibily have been attracted to her ? Michelle Obama isn't hot to me but she isn't ugly either. About monogamy :
It's true that it's difficult for a lot of men but are to believe that 1000s of years of living in settled agricultural societies where marriage is sacred hasn't produced men who are born faithful or monogamous ? Are we to think that the majority of, say, amish men would like nothing more than to screw hot blonde 20yo chicks if they could get away with it ? Some would like that but would most go for it ?
