An ESPN Golf analyst named Kelly Tilghman, did the unthinkable. While discussing the new up-and-coming golfers, she said, "the new players should take Tiger Woods in a back alley and lynch him!" She claims that she apologized and meant no harm. Tiger says he felt no malice and her statement didn't bother him. Stop the press! That is why people should have called him on that Cablonasian shit! If you won't identify yourself as an African American, of course, what she said won't bother you! I don't know if I am more upset with Tiger or her! How can you NOT take offense to what she said? The word "lynch" is very synonymous with slavery and racism. How can you not be offended? Oh, that's right, I forgot you're Asian! Note to Tiger: F___K You! You can have children by six of the palest women in the world, and They'll still be BLACK! Calling yourself black will not deny your mother's heritage. I'm sure that when she married that black man, she didn't think her child/children would come out 100% Asian! Put down the clubs and pick up a book!
Update: Kelly Tilghman has been suspended for 2 weeks! ESPN had said that they were not going to discipline her, thanks to Tiger, no doubt! The uproar caused them to suspend her for 2 weeks. Wake up people, Jewish people would have had her ass!

I think Ms. Tilghman's use of the word "lynch" when referring to Tiger illustrates that she doesn't think of him as black anymore than he thinks of himself as black. Maybe if she'd called him a "chink" or "Hui San" he would have had her fired! lol
BTW, the word "lynch" should be excised from our vernacular like the "N-Word." A person (black or white) who knows the history of the word and Willie Lynch's philosophy regarding African Americans would never use it to refer to anyone, regardless of their color.
Miss Tilghman's use of the word also underlines her ignorance. Where do the networks get these people?
Girl, did you use the word vernacular? You smart! LOL I wholeheartedly agree!
