He acts like an animal and I guess they feel free to show him like one. Tiger can forget about getting any help from the so called Black community as he didn;t follow their rules about how he should identify himself. He hasn't suggested that he wants their help anyway. He decided to embrace his whole racial identity instead of just his black heritage. I'll give him this....he isn't asking for the black community's help and they aren't offering. This is a lesson they are trying to teach....play by our rules or when you 'need' us we won't be there. As a BW i have a hard enough time fighting to bad and improper images shown og BW. When BM start fighting for a better image for us then I guess I can get up in arms about their bad image. I don't care that he is being shown as a thug.

I agree. I left a comment on WOAD, and in summary: "<i>It’s piecemeal gerrymandering, to ensure we don’t align ourselves with power structures related to our Blackness, our gender, or our successes."</i> "I am reminded in 2010 that the war against the educated class of blacks is in full effect and aimed squarely at black women."
