Wut?



Is this post to me?



If it is or if it isn't, a few things:


- I never ONCE called anything "reverse discrimination" in here. Is that your mind telling you that?
- I thought it was an interesting topic so I started it.
- It's HARMLESS, dude. Take a breather. Life isn't always people keepin' you down or some such and life isn't always about "reverse discrimination" (or whatever it is that you think you're seeing in things).


Lighten up.

ESPN has become a product of Disney who owns them. A Far Left, Progressive propaganda TOOL.

Maybe that's why he was not on ESPN's top 50 black athletes list.

And I don't know where you're getting that Earl Woods (Tiger's dad) was 1/2 Thai. That is absolutely not true.

I didn't see anyone link the top black athletes list but I'm pretty sure Jesse Owens was way up there. Anyone that likes sports and a good story should watch a documentary and/or the movie about him. There was no one else like him in his era

I wonder how many Maude Carters are running around Thailand.

Pilot1 is correct Tiger is part Thai from his mother's side but he's not quite 1/2, and definitely not 3/4..but it's also true that the leftist media and pop culture totally ignores that and just wants Tiger to be considered a black guy.
