I was referring to the sexist double standard that women who sleep around are sluts and men are studs.

Like . . . a lot of black women were upset with Kobe until it was clear his wife is Latin and still a person of color. But Vanessa ain’t black, and neither is Tiger. In fact, you can google a twitter/text that says, “Dear Tiger Woods,” and draw your own conclusions.

Everybody drinks Gatorade and Nike. At the very least, if Tiger were “black,” they would’ve put him in a commercial with Kobe or Lebron or Wade or somebody. How many black men did you see attending the US Open with signs that say, “Sorry Dad. I had to see Tiger!” And for that matter, last I checked, according to popular stereotype, black men don’t get married then have kids. That alone should disqualify Tiger’s blackness in popular imagination.

And he doesn’t do commercials for cadillacs, the love of black men as stereotype would tell us. Only old white people drive Buick. So, I’m mostly disgusted that as soon as he does something morally repugnant, Tiger’s “black.” Naw, he’s the same little mix-raced darling of the PGA tour he’s always been. The majority of white Americans loved him two weeks ago; don’t try to toss him on us now!

And don’t get me started with my “disillusionment” with white progressives when it comes to their reaction to Obama. If Obama does what they have the audacity to demand, he’d fall out of favor with white independents, moderate white Dems, and those white progressives, too! A president constitutionally is limited. Obama can only do so much. They should be disillusioned with the Senate cause that’s where sugar turns to . . . not sugar.

So I don’t know how the two are related, and the article just puts the racism of white progressives on full display.

And since we’re on the subject, since when did infidelity become so dispicable? Joe mentioned cheating politicians. (And here would be a good place to remind you that some op-ed writer criticized Obama during the election year cause he didn’t seem to have the balls to cheat. So how can he have such a surfeit of pride now? Why reach to a criticism used by conservatives?) But athletes cheat, too; actors cheat; bankers and investors cheat. I haven’t heard of a James Bond movie that didn’t involve him sleeping with at least 3 different women. I mean, I grew up under the double standard that a man who sleeps around is a stud. So why all of a sudden is cheating on your wife so repulsive? Why isn’t Tiger a stud? Why isn’t he a . . . tiger?

If you ask me, this whole uproar is about Tiger’s white wife and slew of white hos as well as his not being phenotypically white. If this were Mickelson with a whole bunch of white women, there wouldn’t be any “fall from grace.” And I try, I try not to believe this, but I’m almost convinced white progressives are more upset that the negro ain’t following orders than anything else. I don’t think I remember this much anger at Bush 11 mos into his first tenure or his second. I don’t know what they expect Obama to do. Pull out the “angry black man” card? Well, we see what happened when he called Crowley stupid, so we know the “angry black man” won’t get him very far. As a black man, Obama’s success is tied to his “go along to get along” attitude. It’s how I was successful. If white progressives really want Obama to be FDR, they can do 2 things 1) through some soy latte party rallies of their own; and 2) Help undo the white racial frame.

And as an aside, does it strike anyone else as odd that tea is principly produced in developing countries; that it’s boom came with sugar and slavery; that these rallies point to a time prior to emancipation, when even white women couldn’t vote, and the drink was derived from slave labor; all this in opposition to the first black president?
