Tiger Woods Kelly Tilgman

Damn, it’s only been 2008 for a little over a week and they are still getting out of pocket with the comments. Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman has now apologized for her recent comment on how young golfers should “lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley.” Here is what the ho had to say:

“I have known Tiger for 12 years and I have apologized directly to him. I also apologize to our viewers who may have been offended by my comments. I can assure you that there was never any intention to offend anyone. I’m sorry for any misunderstanding.”

Sure. There’s never no intention to offend.  The Golf Channel states that she will not be punished for the comment. Don Imus is probably somewhere pissed.

    SO IT WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING??? BEYAAAATCH PLEASE….

    THE WORD LYNCH & BACK ALLEY MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH AS A BLACK MAN’S NAME…THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO START MAKING WHITE FOLKS TAKE MANDATORY BLACK HISTORY CLASSES, MAKE THEM SEE ROOTS, MALCOME X & AMISTAD…

  • Dalia

    This heifer should definitely be fired…no ifs, ands, or buts about it!

  • Ibn

    SMH these comments dont shock me anymore…this is just ignorance speaking out loud…just like the jersey guy.

  • http://craig.senate.gov Senator Craig

    That is just amazing. She can say that kinda stuff and get away with it. Sheez – but my real question is – how many black folks even WATCH the Golf Channel.

    She’s got some back, though … I’d hit it – and have her screamin’ ‘Lynch me, Kunta Kente!’

    OK this is golf we are talking about here and there has always been an entrenched racism in that sport. What I find most disturbing though is that she has personally known him 12 years and she still made a terroristic threat against him! I think the violent nature of her comments alone is enough for her to be fired,much less the outright bigotry.

    SMH.

  • shoog

    WTF no intention to offend! They fired Don Imus but this broad still has a job. Absurd!

  • Morpheus

    I think the term “dumb hoe” applies to this one…

  • BG

    THESE CRACKERS REALLY GETTING OFF THE CHAIN THIS YEAR!! AND THE BAD PART IS…THEY THINK IT’S OK

  • Anonymous3

    does Tiger really care…after all he’s not Black…he is Carblanasian….he probably looked around in confusion and asked “was she referring to me?”

    People are going to say things…they know how to push buttons and as long as they feel like it will bother us (Black people) they will continue ..I think most would consider her comment callous(sp) and her apology, empty….let’s move on

  • Dalia (Forgot To Say Free MJB!!!)

    @ Senator Craig:

    OK, I know I shouldn’t have, but that made me bust out laughing!!

  • Sistah Rebel78(1st amendment..free MJB)

    When the year changed on January 1, did it go back to 1948? There have been a LOT of these type comments like this and we are only 2 weeks into the year. Black people be careful out there!

  • http://www.myspace.com/allyson131 Allyson

    Where’s Rev Al when you need him? I agree that I wasn’t upset for Tiger since he won’t call himself Black BUT just the fact that she said that, gave a half-assed apology and the Golf Channel won’t comment or punish her is what pissed me off. I wrote a note to them through their website. I suggest you do the same, maybe they’ll at least acknowledge the stupid chick. SMH

  • Lala

    Isn’t Tiger the same player that plays on golf courses in the south that are “segregated” (even though it’s hush-hush and on the D/L)…

    The irony here will NEVER escape me…

  • Lady Architect

    smh@ this nonscense…football players get fined for wearing a jersey number on their faces, and this woman can say something so stupid and not even get fined…she should’ve been suspended without pay…and if it wasn’t meant to offend any1 then what was the translation of what she intended to say?..and why couldn’t she have used some of the other 10million webster dictionary words to say it.

  • rosemarybaby

    umm what the hell tiger care he YT anyway..see niccas YT will ALWAYS make sure u know ur place

  • weezy

    Who cares if Tiger Cablanasian Woods gets offended, eff him. He’s not black so lynching is not a big to deal to him

  • jo

    Who cares about defending Tiger Woods. His dumb shuckin & jivin ass.

  • Icey

    Anonymous3 – you had a funny point, but I think people should not accept a comment like this and act as if it´s nothing. She deserves to get her ass sacked!

  • maaly

    damn

  • Soul Cry

    Tigers probably more upset about being pegged a black man rather than the lynching part.

  • kai

    lol @ “lynched”…Why it gotta be “lynched”…I mean did this not occur to her (history) and lynchings. That beetch needs a slap. Although, Tiger DOES INDEED need to be reminded that he is still a Black man no matter which way you look at it…

  • kara kor el

    When Imus made those comments about the Rutgers basketball team, Tiger’s camp didn’t issue any statement denouncing it or do anything, just like the whole Augusta National golf club thing, but whenever someone gets out of pocket and calls him something, we’re all supposed to drop everything and come running. Um . . .no.

    The only time he’s black is when he’s getting paid extra money for being the Eminem of golf.

  • vgeezy

    Tiger isn’t black he’s Cablinasian right?…..LOL

  • http://www.impawards.com/1991/posters/five_heartbeats.jpg Don Imus

    And I lost my job? Why won’t that stingy haired ho lose hers?

  • V

    A little…little shocked, but not surprised. (Sighing..yet another one)

    Trust me…she’s said something like that to him or someone Black personally or behind closed doors before – that’s why she felt comfortable saying it again.

    We shouldn’t be surprised by anything racist people say these days…the race envelope is being pushed more & more. I predict that somebody Black is going to get all out called a ‘reggin’ on national tv and the fit is finally going to hit the shan. Hell…look at Dog the Bounty Hunter. If you watch tv or Family Guy from time to time…racist jokes and comments are being made every hour.

    The problem is arse kissing, buck & shuffling Blacks with yt friends that let them joke, play & say anything to them.

    Thanks for the support – it’s hard on Capitol Hill for a pimp …

    FTR …

    That fool Tiger is Cablasian … in his mind, but a niggro in most circles.

    @ Tiger

    Ha ha … you married that hot Norwegian chick, and it took a YT chick to remind you that you are black, son …

  • http://www.reservationsmagazine.com Kirstin Fuller

    I think we should send some young hot-blonde prettier reporters to the golf channel headquarters to replace her dry ass…Unbelievable!!! She is probably just angry that she wasn’t chosen to be Mrs. Tiger Woods. LOL

  • JillyBean819

    His retarded ass probably accepted her apology. I would have told her to piss off.

  • MistaO

    To be honest, I’d bet tiger somewhere apologizing for this chick. That’s what these denial type “black” people do, smile and make nice even when they are the target of racist words or even actions. Co-sign with all who state that since he says he aint Black, this is a non-issue.

  • blackberry

    Fire this offensive and pathetic person. We should demand it.

  • Clarence Thomas

    I resent all of these comments, implying that Tiger Woods is an Uncle Tom. He’s a world reknown athlete first and foremost. He’s more than Black, he’s an ICON! You blacks have your Basketball players to project your “PSEUDO BLACK PRIDE”, so spare me your mock outrage regarding Kelly Tilghman’s obvious attempt at a humorous sound bite.

    I never joke when it involves defending white people’s moral propriety to engage in their god-given right to voice gallows humor at the expense of the lesser races.

    I’d need to hear her whole statement and not just a little piece of it to know if it was actually racist.

    Yeah – they should stick a curling iron up her azz and burn her to a crisp from the inside out.

  • arasiam

    Tiger don’t care nothing about her minimum wage earnin’ ass anyway. He got enough money to buy her whole family as slaves, crack that whip on them cracka-ass-crackas.

    @ Uncle Thomas

    Look, son, it’s a known fact on the Hill you didn’t do any of those stuff with that heifer Anita … everyone knows she’s way too dark for your tastes. You prefer those Scandiavan features – you know, flat butts, blonde hair, blue eyes.

  • And Rihanna is ok to you ppl?

    Why hate on Tiger when you have a black ISLAND girl acting liek she is a WHITE AMERICAN and it’s cool with you all.

    You embrace Rihanna’s Uncle Tom ness and not Tiger’s?

    What more does she have to do? She like white boys they killin it………..she was called “white growing up in school”…..she is getting paler an paler according to her….She is glad she can sing rock at karyoke….

    Rihanna is JUST liek Tiger Woods and you all ahv NO prob with it

  • truself

    He doesn’t consider himslef black anyway. But she needs to be put in her place. White people use those terms to stick it to black people without calling them a nigger.

    it trips me out how these celebs/atheletes get money and fake think they are white. Talk white, act white, marry white and think they are accepted. In the back of all those white people he is still a nigger even his wife. Just wait til he hurts himself I bet she leave him within 3 years.

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    Lynch that hoe!! U know he’s not going to say nuthin he tries to fit in anyway and let them run over his retarded azz! At the end of the day Black folks will be the only one riding for you! And he needs to realize that quick!! I like him but he need to wake up!

  • Clarence Thomas

    @ Senator Craig

    LOL! Was this your feeble display at a backhanded compliment. I would accept your invite, but considering your current troubles regarding that alleged faux pas in that Minnesota Publc Mensroom is resolved, I feel that it would be appropriate for us to keep our little needle match on the internet.

  • http://craig.senate.gov Senator Craig

    @ Uncle Thomas

    Broham, I’ve put that Minnesota ish behind me and putting my best *foot* forward!

    If Tiger accepted her apology, he’s as White as Mark Furman.

  • Curly Fries (Part of the Free MJB Squad)

    I remember in 1997 during the Masters when fellow golfer Fuzzy Zoeller said, “That little boy is driving well and he’s putting well. He’s doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it.” Zoeller then smiled, snapped his fingers, and walked away before turning and added, “or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve. Thankfully, KMart dropped their sponsorship, but Tiger actually COVERED for that crakka trash!

  • andie

    Misunderstanding?

    Oh sweetie, there’s no misunderstanding.

    We heard you loud and clear ya racist pig.

  • Nicky

    Why would Tiger be offened, He aint black He caucasion…… fcuk him

  • DR. FUNK

    Not the brightest thing she’s ever said.

  • hiswife

    @Clarence Thomas.. I guess the reason I thought you were being sarcastic is the fact that your mentality is beneath me.. I apologize for giving you the benefit of the doubt in thinking that you were trying to be sarcastic, however it is now obvious that you suffer from “Ignoritis” and not my orginal thought of “dry white people humor”.. Please accept my deepest apologizes and I know no race that is beneath that of the devil himself…

  • Proud Republican

    Tiger prefers to see himself as a cablinasian. Cablinasians don’t have a history of being lynched. Grow up you babies and stop trying to force blackness on this fellow!

  • JSAY

    On Wednesday, ESPN.com reported this comment from Steinberg: “This story is a non-issue. Tiger and Kelly are friends and Tiger has a great deal of respect for Kelly. Regardless of the choice of words used we know unequivocally that there was no ill-intent in her comments. This story is a non-issue in our eyes. Case closed.”

    Discuss.

  • persona

    Tiger Woods is ok with it.

  • Fiddy

    That cause tiger is blaucasian his self, he don’t know no better!

  • Reality

    Golf has not changed but why am I surprised; the country has not changed. Woods has made money for the whole tour and of all the words and metaphors that the announcer could have chosen, she selected lynching. Perhaps Woods believes since he married a blonde that he is no longer a person of color. Or perhaps he forgot how they use to call him the “n” word when he was growing up playing golf, by Mickelson etc.

  • LEESA

    I think she got it right!! Tiger Woods and all other like-minded, self-hating niggers should be lynched! I wonder what she has to say about his caucasian and Asian side?

  • Shootingstar

    Why should she apologize? I never heard of a Kablasian gettin lynched.

  • http://wowee.wordpress.com haroldmaude

    “lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley.”

    So she’s known Tiger for well over a decade…and, that means that they’re best friends and she loves him as a person and has no malice against black people?

    By the way, who in the world still uses that term ‘lynch’ so casually (outside of the racist towns in our country)?

    “If that dude cuts me off again, I’m gonna lynch him.”

    “If my credit card gets declined again, I’m gonna straight lynch somebody.”

    Uh, what? That young woman has a problem and it starts with the letter R.

  • My $.02

    In reality, two Black people can make a Black baby. An Asian and Black person can’t make a Black baby. Tiger is mixed and it’s perfectly fine for him to believe (he is correct in his belief) that he is neither Black or Asain. I don’t know why people are up in arms about this. If someone like Sharpton tries to defend Tiger, I’m sure he’ll tell him to back down. Nevertheless, this ignorant woman should not have made the comment. She should be fired, whether or not Tiger took offense to her statement.

  • anonymous

    Now how would it be received if someone, anyone, said in reference to a Jewish person, that their competitors should burn them in an incinerator, or, send him or her to the gas chamber?. Doesn’t sound good does it?.

    This kind of hate doesn’t come from everyones’ mouth. It comes from the mouth of someone who has either said it with sympathetic company or, thought it privately. The reason it came out; her hate filter was not on.

    I don’t care how many fundraisers she’s done with Tiger. I’ve been working with white people all my life. They will smile in your face and call you “N” behind your back with their like-minded cohorts. She should be fired.

  • VI_QUEEN1

    WHO CARES ABOUT TIGGER HE DOESN’T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE IS HALF BLACK ANYWAY. THAT WOULDN’T BOTHER HIM! NEXT!!!

  • Reason

    First of all, you are reporting her comment out of context. You forgot to mention that her co-anchor was saying something along the lines of “Tiger Woods is a really great player, they should gang up on him” and she jokingly replied to his comment with what she said. If you saw the interview you would see she meant no malice.

    2nd ppl seems to be so quick to make snap judgements based on a moment in someone’s life. Calm down.

  • da truth

    short and simple look up the word black. who would want to be identified by so much negativity. all you people who call your selves black look up Nagga Asiatic. Black is not a nationality By the way I’m Nagga Asiatic and proud of it. That is what Tiger is and dont know it. No need to clown these facts Research the facts

  • A2

    I doubt she meant any offense. White people don’t always associate “lynching” with the “lynching” in the South. She was probably just joking around and forgot about the sensitive historical connotation. I mean, is the film “Hang Em High” offensive? No, it’s a Western. Lynching-hanging have other historical precedents beyond the lynching in the South. An obviously bad gaffe, but I doubt it was intentional.

    You have to stop subscribing the worst motives to everyone who makes a mistake.
