His overhead may be high, but it's mostly "comped" - financially, it's a non-issue. Going to Africa or anywhere else won't help Tiger find his BL, it's in him already and no particular geography will make him smarter about it - none better than right here! The reading is a good idea though, and for some reason you just know TW has never cracked open one of your recommended reads. I would also recommend one other book for TW to read - Faces at the bottom of the well, by Derrick Bell, some compelling short stories that might open TW up to his BL. Good commentary - ThanksCharlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404189030709017222.post-25595516251488195162009-12-17T08:52:54.225-08:002009-12-17T08:52:54.225-08:00Great piece!

I am no...Mr. O'Brien, thanks for your comment. I am not afraid to tackle important issues in this blog and have never walked away from the inescapable fact of race in our society. I do not intend to begin now.<br /><br />The fact that you "have not heard one person mention" race in the coverage and public response to Tiger situation is a clear indication that you are probably a very well meaning optimist without any Black friends. I can assure you that for communities of color throughout this country, Tiger's race, interracial martial status and cheating preferences are central to his recent portrayal in the media. Sorry to burst your bubble, but everything in this country since is inception, is related to race.<br /><br />I don't have the space to fully get into this question with you -- its my favorite subject; but I would like to suggest a few books to help clarify things for you. They won't be as informative as 46 years of experience and 400 years of ancestral enslavement and persecution in this country, but they are a start. They are, A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn; Native Son by Richard Wright; The Miseducation of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson; and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. <br /><br />When you finish them, perhaps we can talk again -- about the facts.Keith Andrew Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060182609762957526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404189030709017222.post-72383255349241732352009-12-15T17:48:56.847-08:002009-12-15T17:48:56.847-08:00I have not heard one person mention the fact that ...I have not heard one person mention the fact that Tiger's wife is white, and all the women who he has bedded are white. Not a one. Stop the racial crap. This has nothing to do with skin color. It has to do with cheating on his wife.Barry O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894269338114916643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404189030709017222.post-51683198224191160342009-03-09T18:00:00.000-07:002009-03-09T18:00:00.000-07:00i never got into the show. saw it once. it seemed ...i never got into the show. saw it once. it seemed kinda weird & not as savvy as one would have thought.i think Chris Rock could pull it off (he sorta did it something similar w/ his old HBO show). <BR/><BR/>i DO heart Olbermann. he is the perfect mix of top notch intelligence that doesn't take himself too seriously.the prisoner's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160398635149797677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404189030709017222.post-42905775840049813052009-03-06T11:28:00.000-08:002009-03-06T11:28:00.000-08:00I watched DL's show once.
