You meant what you said when you said this didn't you...... :o :o :o
The views and opinions of Under13 are his own and you do not have to agree with them.

So how should this woman be punished for her remarks?

I agree with you it is an outrage but I also know that the best way to shut these folks up is by proving them wrong. I choose not to let stuff like this worry me any more because its not going to stop me from doing what I know is right.  Like I said, Tiger is proving them wrong everytime he steps out on a golf course. There is a time to stand up and make our presence known, but there is also a time to realize that this stuff comes with the territory of success.


Black folks downgrade each other all the time and no one says anything about that. You should hear how bad some of these black folks around here downgrade Barak Obama, just because he is stepping out and doing what they didn't have the guts to do.

Agreed we say some horrible things about each other and will quickly dismiss it as a "black" thing.  As far as Barak Obama is concerned, perhaps a new thread is in order.  He just doesn't do anything for me.  He's a lot of hot air.

I would love to engage you in this conversation outside of LGM.  PM or IM or e-mail works for me, if you're interested.  ;D

You know who "we" are
 How so? By ignoring all the things that are happening to us (and what we do to ourselves) and by not demonstrating our power. We have Billions of dollars in spending power. If we wanted to get some stuff done and gain respect, all we have to do is start boycotting.

Yall remember when Imus called some girls "nappy headed H---" ? Soon after that Advertisers started to pull thier ads.
Why? because they know the power of the black dollar and did not want to be affillated with Imus and risk losing millions in revenue from customers who are against Imus. Therefore ABC or whoever had to suspend Imus or risk losing sponsors

So if they wanna have this chick who wants to lynch Tiger, removed or suspended all it should take is some black leaders threatening to boycott ESPN and the Sponsor's and advertiser's products

But thats only part of what we need to do.

Even Gay people get more respect than us.Last year When an Actor made comments about Hom***xuals he got fired immediatley. I forget the brothers name though

but yall get my point

Take a ride on the Al Sharpton bus!!!  Tiger has moved on, but the right rev. wants to take this to the next level.

I know there are some comments that can be misconstrued but this ain't one of em... I didn't that Imus was so bad considering it was the corporate sponsors who got caught with their pants around the ankles.. Trust me, this is a reminder of what may be said behind our backs. That's inspite of how well we do our jobs, how well we speak, how many 'white' friends we got or how much success black folk achieve. Now if some wanna act like WE (America) ain't got problems well then ignorance is bliss.... I hope that Steak that Cypher ate in does taste good... SELLOUTS....

I agree. It's shocking to hear Light skin blacks talk down to Dark skinned blacks. But actions speak louder than words. and the actions that our young people are commiting are truly horrific. We are destructing our own comunities, we got people selling drugs, and murdering each other for no reason other than money. It makes no sense to have so many black men in jail and so little in college. So Something more needs to be done.

We also need to be more aggressive in the way we educate and train our young people on how to conduct themselves.
Why are we dropping out of school so young?
Why do we want to be Sports stars and rappers and not Doctors and business men (and women)
Why are we so direspectful to our women?
Why  are so many Black women getting aids and having babies that they cant support?
