When dealing with race, the subject matter sensitivity sometimes overwhelms objectivity. Sometimes things get said that are inappropriate and they must be addressed. Tiger Woods said he is ok with the comment made by the Golf Channel's Tilghman. If Tiger is fine with it than I am, no more no less. He knows her heart and good people make mistakes. If the potentially offended party is ok than I am. She is no Don Imus and is not known for being racial. She was sincere and professional in her apology and the other black people like Mr. Sharpton need to leave her alone. There have been a few times where my non-black affiliates have slipped up and used the the N-word around me or to me. Before getting upset, I usually inspect the heart of the individual and usually tell them to be careful around other black people that don't know them if they are to speak as such. I also tell them not to say it around some of my friends because they may get slapped, seriously.
