I know some of you love Golf, some love Tiger Woods, and some love freedom/liberty/the first amendment.
I would appreciate it if some of you would digg or stumble this article here about why it is not funny to talk about Lynching Tiger Woods - or any Black man - even if you are a friend of his, and are trying to be complimentary about his dominance.

Feel free to disagree with the author, but at least read all the resources about lynching before you comment.
Like the article says:
"To those whites who object that white people have also been lynched, please try to understand the difference between “frontier justice” and the deliberate terrorism which was used to keep Black people in their place *after they were Freed* so that they would not intrude upon the rights Whites chose to keep restricted to themselves.
I cannot think of many whites who were lynched mainly because they were white, but there are thousands of Black families who lost family members pretty much solely because they were Black, and unable to defend themselves against powerful social prejudices.
This is but one reason why whites should use the word “lynch” very carefully in discussing Black folks."
