Tiger Woods should be lynched?


That is exactly what the Golf Channel anchor said. I don't care what the context is, that is racist. It may be subconscious and she may have black friends but that was racial. CNN told me all day yesterday that America's race issues were resolved because Iowa voted for Obama. I guess they were wrong(I'm being sarcastic here people). The media should stop trying to tell black people that everything is all fair and equal. It is not, and it probably will never be. You know why? Because African Americans missed out on wealth opportunities. We can get rich, but few of us are wealthy. That is what slavery did. It disenfranchised African Americans and removed the concept of inheritance(number 1 wealth generator). Few people have ever discussed the impact that slavery had on wealth and its long term affects. I don't think they are tolerant and intelligent enough to actually investigate the issue properly. There are too many pent up emotions to study this objectively.
