Is Tiger Woods Black Enemy Number One? 
 

December 2, 2009

The Tick Press and the Latest Woman
Is Tiger Woods Black Enemy Number One?
By D.K. WILSON

Woods is preternaturally public shy and is therefore reluctant to have his personage allied with anything outside of his given profession. He may well be psychically fractured because of a heinous kindergarten incident wherein White boys tied him to a tree, taunted him mercilessly with racial slurs, and physically abused him, at one point allegedly throwing rocks at Woods.

That Woods found strength through golf is an understatement. It is possible that each time Woods strikes a golf ball he is at once pushing back the memory of that event and at the same time striking the boys who performed that malicious and racist act.

The one athlete who has never, ever sought the limelight is being shown to be the one athlete these vile creatures that are the sports and entertainment gossip rags, virtual or otherwise, have been impatiently waiting to take down. Because he is so private Tiger Woods has become the biggest notch on the gossip rags' belts.

And the "new woman" who alleges that she has text messages and much more from Woods, is, if all this is true, the perfect 21st century Jezebel. That a person would go to the length to store text messages and keep voice mail correspondences outside of a business setting is a sure sign that she knew her dalliance with Woods was and is a way to be the center of the national eye. She was, after all, once a contestant on a VH1 reality show - "Tool Academy" - and no one participates on those programs if they have not fed into and desperately seek the bullshit fed to them about life as a public figure.

For Woods, her appearance, if her story is true, is a signpost that he must embark on a serious period of introspection and actively seek to heal old, untreated psychic wounds and deal with the sickness they have cause. His acts are the manifestations of the trap of power as it is perceived and acted upon in Western society; power is a sickness of the highest order.

Still, he owes no one outside of his family an explanation. But he does need to take stock of himself and take a look at the world around him. He knows well -as do many, sports writers and columnists - that the number two golfer in the world Phil Mickelson is renowned for his Las Vegas gambling trips and his alleged sexual transgressions there and elsewhere. And this news has been widely whispered for years.

Tiger Woods is a Black man - period. And as such, he and his monumental endorsement-financial and on-course success is the object of scorn in every level of American society; hated from sports desks nationwide, to gossip rag editors, Joe the Plumbers everywhere, to the Rayburn Building, to the halls of the FBI.

Tiger Woods is black enemy Number One.

20. Oh Lordy. I read the article. I take issue with his being called black. 

Call him "Golfer enemy #1" if you wish.

43. I realize you're angry because you didn't expect everyone to jump on the black issue 

But they did. Get over it. As for fast reading and fast tying. I do both. I read spectacularly fast, and I type over 85 wpm. And I am dead serious about that. You don't want to believe it because you can't read or type that fast? Fine. Suit yourself.

104. So this is your millionth response and you read the article in two minutes. Having trouble counting?

After which the primitives discuss the actual "race" of Tiger Woods, which apparently is more Asian than African.

[franksolich]

The bonfire's way too large to pick any particular theme or argument, but anyway, here are some primitive comments that should be of interest:

5. No he is a troubled asset and when the media has a troubled asset they turn it into another asset Since he won't be as effective at selling shit people don't need anymore he can be used as a punching bag to attract people to watch programs and than advertising to buy shit they don't need.

40. Sickening and moronic piece of Counterpunch drivel. gad, how I despise that ****wad rag.

The brouhaha around Woods has nothing to do with his race and everything to do with the fact that he's the most famous athlete in the world.

Yet when those same three words are raised about Obama, it's nothing but his skin color that enters your mind.

The Race Card.....don't leave home without it.

What interests me is that it seems that the only one who isn't playing the race card is Woods himself. Listen Primitives. He is a celebrity who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. -- A squeaky clean celebrity -- To a gossip columnist, this story is pure gold.

106. He's black alright, just doesn't want to be
 Probably learned a lot of that black self hatred bullshit from his dad, particularly the hatred and rejection of black women. Tiger went out of his way to deny his blackness. But he can deny it all he wants. He is as black as the day is long.

Black women really hate white women that hook up with black men.  Tiger looks like a mutt, and I don't mean that to be derogatory, just that you can see different racial heritages in his appearance.

If you believe the AP today...Tiger is racist because A) he fails to identify himself as black and B) he only cheated with white women.

His mother was white, perhaps he has the thing about wanting to marry his mom, WHAT Oedipus's

Regardless, we do have this small little fault as humans that causes us to get out raged when a hero is brought down to our level. 

Our hero's have to be better then us in all ways so we have something to strive for, some thing to be proud of.

This is one heck of an onus to place on anyone, we are taking their right to live a normal life and demanding they live up to a standard we can never do.

We need to think the best of our hero's, when our hero's crumble under the weight of being perfect to everyone, then we feel used and betrayed.

This angers us and we are all to willing to help them destroy themselves. 

Tiger was a HERO to millions who for somehow identified with what they wanted to be.  Now this man shows that he is less then his worshipers.

So the anger has turned to the desire to totally destroy the Hero and go looking for another person to fill the shoes of a false God.

I find it interesting as a Peon of the Realm to watch just how far a Hero can fall due to his own decisions.

Talk about your mind numbing stupidity!

So someone explain to me again how the white "MAN" is responsible for Tiger diddling women as a hobby?

[GOBUCKS]

Most black athletes who come into millions of dollars aren't nearly as intelligent and educated as Tiger. They end up wasting their money on yachts, white women, and cocaine. Tiger knows two out of three ain't bad.

I sure hope it's only a conincidence, but DUmmy greenbriar disappeared from the DUmp just about the same day the Tiger scandal started.

Tiger Woods is his OWN worst Enemy Number One, nobody else made him blow off his marriage vows and start digging this hole but the man himself.

The buzzards are coming out of the woodworks.

It will be interesting to see how he handles himself when he tees it up in his first tournament next year. If he goes off on a spectator or a reporter, the media and the PGA will come down hard on him. His actions will be watched by all including the sponsors that are paying him big bucks.
