This is from a British paper. I don't know if the incident that happened to Woods when he was five years old is true or not, but what strikes me is his bogus explanation for him still being the only black golfer on tour -- "I thought there would be more of us out here. It is a matter of getting enough players to play the game."
I would say roughly as many black males as white males play golf, as a proportion of their respective populations. Many blacks are infatuated with golf, especially since the rise of Woods. Just look at all the black athletes who play golf -- "try to play golf" is a better way to describe it for most. Yet not one other blackis among at leastthe top 500 or so golfers.
According to the logic behind the reigning propaganda,blacks, who supposedly dominate the "tougher, more athletic" sports like football and basketball, should be able to monopolize the "much easier" sport of golf with ease.
TIGER: MY RACE-HATE NIGHTMARE
Tiger Woodshas revealed the racist abuse he suffered as a child -
and how the applause from the black staff at the Masters 1997 still
brings him close to tears.
The world No.1, who has a black father and Thai mother, has always
been reluctant to speak openly about race issues during his career.
But in a new book with basketball star Charles Barkley published
before tomorrow's US Open, Woods speaks frankly about how the colour
of his skin has affected his life from the age of five.
And as the Masters champion continues his Grand Slam bid in
Pinehurst, North Carolina, he recalled how his first Major title win
eight years ago was completed when the entire black service staff at
Augusta came out to applaud him.
"I start getting choked up just thinking about it," Woods said. "I
started thinking about everything these people had faced in life,
all the ugliness and all the prejudice and all the obstacles they
had to deal with.
"I was thinking that they could have a lot of bitterness and
feel, 'Why him? Why not me?' But they didn't. They don't.
"I became aware of my racial identity on my first day of
kindergarten. A group of sixth-graders tied me to a tree, spray-
painted the word 'n****r' on me, and threw rocks at me. It was
certainly an eye-opening experience, you know, being five years old."
Even after becoming the most famous sportsman in the world, Woods
remains the only black player on the US Tour. It is a situation the
30-year-old would like to see change.
"I am disappointed," he said last night. "I thought there would be
more of us out here. It is a matter of getting enough players to
play the game."
