Also Tiger Woods does not & never has self identified as Black so personally find it weird that folks want to claim him for a team he doesn't even want to be on.
I vaguely remember an old video of someone commenting on that, probably posted on here somewhere. It seems like it was made during all the drama that ensued when he cheated on his ex-wife. The guy said something along the lines of 'Tiger said he wasn't black so don't push him off on us'. I'm not sure if that was what the video itself was about because I didn't watch it all, but that comment stood out to me.
Woods self identified himself as being "Cablasian" long before any of the cheating drama with his ex-wife. It's been thrown back in his face since then anytime he says or does anything questionable, especially by Black folks and primarily during the cheating drama.
Yeah, I remember that, and it created a bit of drama itself. The video/comment during the cheating drama was a prime example of someone doing just that.
That was essentially his " I'm not Black, I'm OJ" moment. And we all see how well that worked for OJ in the long run. Any love OJ got from Black folks was due to his leaning into his blackness once White folks were coming for him. Tiger Woods will never do that.
Tiger has never been one to adopt a radical posture, so I am not surprised by him being drawn to a woman so proximate to officialdom and/or conservative social movements. And who knows? Perhaps the ex-Mrs Trump had a bad experience with Drumpf Jr and is drawn to someone different. The length of their relationship will be the true test.
He's dated a wide economic, social and professional range of white women, but he's also a relatively conservative guy, and it's not hard to imagine him being broadly comfortable with the general thrust of the Drumpf Administration. And if not comfortable, then ambivalent like Michael Jordan was.
Thank goodness Jordan didn't hang with Taco Don. Hope his son doesn't follow his dad's as far as WW are concerned.
