Tiger's Real Problem

White people tend to like the keep the number of black people in their lives to a minimum. If you are so lucky to enter into the life of a white person, god help you if you have a fall from grace.

White people don't care when most black people find themselves in trouble. But if a black person has been accepted by whites and finds himself in trouble, he's in for a hellish life. Just ask O.J. Simpson. Simpson was in movies. He was an amicable spokesperson for a number of corporations. He was at ease with white people on television and we were at ease watching him there. Then what happened? He betrayed us.

Many have argued that the Simpson case had to do with race. But most white people don't care when a black person kills someone, even if the victim is white. Even famous murderers don't garner the level of outrage that the Simpson case did. No one can truthfully claim that they feared O.J. might kill again. White people were mad that their boy wasn't who they thought he was.

That takes us to Tiger Woods. Generally, white people don't care when a black man cheats on his wife, even if his wife is white. Even famous philanderers don't garner the attention that Woods has received. If Ice T is caught cheating, will he find himself in the same mud as Tiger? White people accepted Woods. Turns out he's not so squeaky clean. So Woods will pay for his betrayal. When a seemingly-friendly black tiger falls in the woods, you know who hears it? White people. And they don't forget the sound.
