Al Sharpton On Tiger

[ZenLunatic]

----------------------

 

The Rev. Al Sharpton held a press conference today to blast Tiger Woods for the lack of diversity among his mistresses. Sharpton claims that the lack of African-American women among Woods’ harem will have a negative affect on the black community, specifically young black girls.

 

“Why is it that a man who calls himself black can’t bring himself to cheat on his wife with a black woman?” said Sharpton, speaking to a group of supporters in Harlem . “What does it say to young black girls everywhere when you pass them over? Shame on you, Tiger Woods. What would your daddy say?”

 

Sharpton, who has long championed taking black women as mistresses, said that today’s black athletes need to stop neglecting black women when it comes to extramarital affairs, and should follow the examples of positive black role models such as Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King, Jr., both of whom cheated on their wives with black women. Sharpton also stressed that cheating with African-American women would help the black community financially by giving black girls the chance to sell their stories to tabloids and gossip magazines.

 

Added Sharpton, “I’m not asking you to not cheat on your wives, I’m just asking you to give back to your own community.”

[watch me fall]

That would be my guess.

[lamradio]

Yeah but it wouldn't be the first time that Al Sharpton has said/done things that should have been Onion stories, but turned out to be true.

Pretty trashy site, so might be NSFW for some.

[sonnyfeeling]

Wow, that was offensive on so many levels. Even worse, it's not funny, just racist.

[IRememberDBoon]

thats the dumbest most unfunny piece of garbage ive read in a long time. racist and lamer than hell

[bjorn_skurj]

Tiger's dad went Asian, IIRC.

"It's the internet it has to be true!"

It's satire folks. The Onion doesn't hold a patent on the stuff.

[Shakespeare In The Alley]

I'll admit, I lol'd. Because, as someone pointed out, it isn't that far off from what Sharpton's racist ass would actually do or say in this situation.

[Duck-Billed Catechist]

It's satire folks.

Yeah, but it's D-U-M, dum. And there's like a jillion jokes along those lines out there.

[M. (hristine]

Just speaking to the veracity, not the quality.

In a related story. Paris Hilton told Internet blogger Perez Hilton that she has never dated Tiger Woods. She smiled, stroked her blonde mane, and said that she does not like golfers because she prefers athlete's who play with bigger balls.

Tiger shows world how not to be a player

Off golf course, he obviously doesn't know the game

BY MARY MITCHELL Sun-Times Columnist

I didn't want to say a word about Tiger Woods. But that's all people keep asking me: "What's up with Tiger?"

 

Years ago, when Woods -- who was poised to rake in billions in endorsements for being the very best dark-skinned man ever to pick up a golf club -- married a nanny, I asked that same question.

 

It struck me as incredibly odd that Woods would tie his billion-dollar future to that of a part-time model and nanny.

 

The woman who caught Tiger, Elin Nordegren, was born in Stockholm, Sweden. She came to the U.S. with the wife of a Swedish golfer as an au pair, a fancy word for a nanny or baby-sitter.

 

I'm not saying Nordegren was a gold-digger. But she wasn't being introduced to broke men.

 

She was positioned to meet men with money -- and she did.

 

During the President's Cup in South Africa six years ago, Woods proposed to Nordegren at a luxury game reserve. At that time, she had been on one magazine cover and had held jobs as a clerk in a boutique and as a nanny.

 

You know how that must have made young, gifted and black women feel?

 

At the time, Woods was calling himself a "Cablinasian," a designation that stopped some people from referring to him as an African American.

 

But even those black women who cut Woods some slack for marrying Nordegren were shocked that every woman that has jiggled out of the closet in this sex scandal has been white.

 

Not even scraps for a sister

The point, which is a bit bizarre, is that if Woods was going to cheat with that many women, couldn't he have cheated with at least one black woman?

 

Woods' appetite for white women who are cocktail waitresses, nightclub hostesses and porn and reality stars has some sisters buzzing.

 

It doesn't seem to matter that the women Woods messed around with were what black women would call "skanks."

 

For instance, Jamie Jungers, a 26-year-old who claims an 18-month affair with Woods, told a London publication that she was with Woods wearing "nothing but a pair of panties" when he learned that his 76-year-old father had died.

 

That's even worse than when South Carolina's disgraced governor, Mark Sanford, referred to his Argentinian mistress as his "soul-mate."

 

But Sanford had enough pull that he could keep his mistress out of sight while he publicly dealt with the collapse of his marriage.

 

The women Woods slept with were totally out-of-pocket, and he is getting what he deserves.

 

For one thing, Woods tried to be a player without knowing the rules.

 

Even old-school players know not to hook up with someone who doesn't have as much to lose as they do.

 

Wood's penchant for dipping down and picking up women beneath his social standing is really what is going to do him in.

 

All those steamy sex-texts he sent from his cell phone are now fogging up Nordegren's lawyer's office.

 

Those erotic notes, saved by women who obviously expected to get more than a good time out of the tryst, will cost Woods in endorsements.

 

Can the brand swing back?

Indeed, the faster the truth comes out, the faster his sponsors will flee.

 

Over the weekend, Accenture announced that Woods is no longer the right "representative for its advertising."

 

That deal was pegged around $7 million a year.

 

But there's another, and potentially bigger, problem for the Tiger Woods brand.

 

This sex scandal has him looking too much like a troubled black athlete.

 

Any day now, commentators are going to be dissing the great Tiger Woods as just another oversexed, irresponsible, spoiled black athlete.

 

Then, what Woods chooses to call himself will hardly matter.

 

Because when a "Cablinasian" marries a stunning white woman and publicly dogs her with a long list of other white women, he is going to pay for his shortcomings for a long time.

 

The more the public hears about Woods' tawdry private life, the less people are going to like him -- on and off the course.

 

He has put himself in a no-win situation.

 

So even if his wife forgives him for being such a hound, Tiger Woods' love affair with his public will never be the same.

Mary Mitchell's head has been firmly lodged in her rectum for as long as I can remember.

Agreed, she's a dingaling.

[Guest Speed Racer]

My dad was reading one of her articles when I was probably 10 or 11, and he looked at me and said, "Don't ever let anyone be this stupid at you. Ever."

Besides, who says Tiger didn't have any sisters on the side? He just didn't bang any black women who have talked yet.
