Oh Snap! Charlie Sheen Held a Knife to His Wife's Throat...Anybody? Bueller?

Go easy on me I feel a little like Rip Van Blogger. I have to say my fellow bloggers are doing a wonderful job in conveying what's in my head. However, I have, what I think, is a different perspective on some things I've seen and some questions for my readers who are MUCH smarter than me.

What exactly is unusual about an athlete having sex with several women none of whom are his wife?

What does said athlete have in common with an athlete who murdered his wife or another who raped a young girl? Or the POTUS? I don't know but racism found a way to link them all...wonders how racism managed that SMH?

Aah the media....I haven't missed you or your legendary racism.



Here's what I'd like to know how do we completely ignore this and clutch our collective pearls because a high paid athlete wanted to get his swerve on marriage not withstanding.

I'm not a Tiger fan and I refuse to be one of those Black folks that supports her own just for the sake of it--especially when that person won't acknowledge that they are one of mine. But this is an outrageous bit of revisionist history.


Gonna repost something I saw on Racialicious that speaks to the phenomena of race and sports much better than I can.

When this whole Tiger mess started there was some rumbling in the media about stripping him of his Athlete of the Decade honor. THIS I have no problem with if he were replaced with the the awesome that is Serena Williams. He's earned more money. He's more popular with the general population, but Serena is simply awesome .
