Tiger Has A Big Ego. Can’t Stand His Big Ego. But I Love How He Plays Golf.

He walks like this because he can back it up.

Tiger Woods will survive.

Seriously. This will be a blip in the trophy case at the end of the day as long as he stays focused, never says too much, or when he does speak, says all the right things. As long as the wife keeps quiet and everyone stays all Ninja like on everything. As long as there’s no “there there” he will be fine. Please ignore the Jazmine Sullivan style window busting. Just another day in golfer’s paradise. No worries.

I make no secret that I love Tiger Woods – the golfer. Tiger Woods the human being, I do not know. But when it comes to golf, he’s my man. I’ve followed him since 1996. I’ve loved him since 1996 and as the daughter of a sports fanatic he’s been fun to watch. But I’m a pragmatist at heart and I’m shocked, SHOCKED, by all these people who are shocked because the Tiger might have been sinking his balls into someone else’s hole. Mostly because I’m like, didn’t we see this coming?

If Loving You Is Wrong I Might Try To Kill You With A Golf Club

The sweetest woman in the world, can be the meanest woman in the world ... if you make her that way.

One of the most annoying myths that men (of all races) often make about women (of different races) is that somehow, all brown women -- especially the black ones -- are mean or crazy or might throw hot grits on you or scream "GIT YO SH**" at the top of our lungs while we set all your belongings on fire in the driveway. That somehow white women (and often Asian women are lumped in here too) are just these nice, passive, docile creatures who would never, ever say a harsh word or curse you out or lift a finger in anger.

I believe the saying goes, "Hell hath no fury like a WOMAN scorned." It doesn't specify just us black harridans.

Afronerd: Why Would Anyone Want to Be Black? And Other Stupid Questions.

By Afronerd

Why would anyone want to be black? This is the question Breitbart's Burt Prelutsky is asking! We can't be in the 21st Century....

 

From an Oct. 22 post by Burt Prelutsky at Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood blog:

My final question is, why, in 2009 America, are mulattoes invariably identified as blacks? Surely there is nothing wrong with being a mulatto. There is no stigma attached, as once there was. It merely refers to those who have one white parent and one black. There are many notable individuals who are mulattoes, including Halle Berry, Derek Jeter, Lisa Bonet and Barack Obama. Tiger Woods, on the other hand, is a true amalgamation, being one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-quarter black, one-eighth Native American and one-eighth Dutch. And, yet, with the possible exception of the New York Yankee shortstop, we insist on identifying all of them as black.

It's as if there is something shameful about their being half or even one-eighth white. If there is, I'd sure like to know what it is. If, on the other hand, there isn't, why do we insist on acting as if there were?

Awesomely Luvvie: Twitter Killed the Celeb's Star

By Luvvie

They say that video killed the radio star. Well, Twitter has killed the celebrity's. Ever since I joined Twitter in September 2008 (although I wasn't active on it until January 2009), it's become the place to be. *reads line* Ok that just made it sound like Twitter became IT because of me. How narcissistic of me. Too bad I don't feel like changing the sentence. But y'all know what I meant.

The World Is A Vampire (And So Is Sammy Sosa)

From Getty via HuffPoYou take a couple weeks off to move to D.C. and all sorts of news happens. The House passes historic health care legislation, Katt Williams gets arrested for burglary, highly disturbed people go on killing sprees and Sammy Sosa starts acting, obviously auditioning for the role of a lifetime as Nousferatu, the vampire!

What? He’s not trying out to be Latino Lestat? Skin rejuvenation, you say? Bad skin peel gone horribly awry, is it? And he started wearing green-eyed contacts, when?

MTV's VMAs Gave Me Brain Damage, Thanks Kanye

First the good.

Janet Jackson put it down for her brother at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night. She was incredible and I, already a JJ fan, had ever more respect for her ability to put on such a performance so soon after her brother's passing, performing the only song the two ever recorded together, "Scream." (It's really a shame they didn't do more music together.) Janet is a phenomenal dancer and performer in her own right and it's amazing that both those people came out of one very multitalented family.

Now for the incredibly mind-numbingly stupid, Jay-Z swagger humping via Beyonce, circus-like bitchfest that is Kanye West. Seriously, Ye. Why do you make it so hard for me to love you?

Google Stalking TJ Holmes and Hill Harper: Together At Last

If your TV exploded Saturday morning it was because that dasterdly handsome Prince of West Memphis, Sir TJ Holmes of CNN Weekend, was interviewing the sexy scholar/actor Hill Harper about his new book on relationships and marriage in the black community. Yes. Both. Together. AT THE SAME TIME! Be still my little heart. TJ and Hill also briefly mention TJ's engagement where the Teege says "I'm not trying to be part of the problem. I'm trying to be the solution here," in regards to his own engagement. Awww. On Twitter yesterday, TJ asked why 70 percent of professional black women were unmarried and I wrote back, "Because you can't marry us all, Teege!" So true. Enjoy the video. Hopefully it won't cause your browser to melt. (Thanks, Mia for the link!)

Trend With Truth: The Real Maia Campbell Story (Guest Post)

On Thursday all of Twitter was a buzz about a video purportedly featuring former child actress Maia Campbell in disarray. I didn't post anything about it here because the gossip was just too mean spirited and low and I didn't want to be a part of it, but Robin Caldwell wrote a beautiful piece for BlackWeb 2.0 on Campbell and why people should not be using this video clip to poke fun or relish in someone's downfall, but to come to a better understanding about mental illness. Here is what Caldwell had to say.
