Tiger Woods' Black Women: Have You Seen Them?

You may have seen the names elsewhere, but here they are again, if we are to believe that each of them actually had sex with Tiger Woods: (1) Mindy Lawton, (2) Jaimee Grubbs, (3) Kalika Moquin, (4) Jamie Jungers, (5) Rachel Uchitel, (6) Holly Sampson, (7) Cori Rist, (8) Josyln James, (9) Theresa Rogers, (10) Julie Postle.
Some sources say thirteen tiger girls have been identified. Even if there were just five on the list, the obvious would still stand out. All of the names thus far identified as lovers of Tiger Woods have one thing in common: They are all white women, not to mention that all or most of them have long hair.
What if we could tweak the tan and make Tiger a white celebrity and husband of a black woman, who committed adultery with ten or more black women? Would it not appear like the guy was on a mission to prove some kind of point?
It is hard to ignore there's a psychological blemish somewhere in this picture. There may be some kind of search here on Tiger's part, a search for something I'm not sure he's found yet.
Actually, Tiger's preference for the white thing may fall right in line with the fact that he chose golf, a predominantly white sport. Tiger has been consistent. As an Associated Press article reminds us, “ Woods has declined to identify himself as black, and famously chose the term 'Cablinasian' (Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian) to describe the racial mixture he inherited from his African-American father and Thai mother."
It only makes sense that a guy who has largely distanced himself from blacks exclusively seek sex with white women, be it with his white wife or with a white harem. His sexual preference is also in line with his father's. Why blame Son for being like Father? Not to say that Dad cheated on his Thai bride like Son did his Swedish wife...
For its part, the black community, unlike white men who have generally given Tiger a pass on his infidelities, has responded to Tiger's preference for white women with some rather blunt talk. One parody song says, “ Thankfully, Tiger, you didn't marry a black woman. Because if a sister caught you running around with a bunch of white hoochie-mamas..." (The implied action is that the black wife would have castrated Tiger.) “The question everyone in America wants to ask you is, how many white women does one brother waaant?"
Says Denene Millner, who has authored books on black relationships, “We've discussed this for years among black women. Why is it when they (black men) get to this level ... they tend to go directly for the nearest blonde?"
As an African man I know too well the psychology of going white as a token and trophy of socio-economic achievement. When I came of age in Liberia, and this is still true across West Africa, if not all of Africa, a guy or gal who dated or married a mulatto or Caucasian was almost revered as though he or she had landed the jackpot of romance. Though we kept saying, “Black is beautiful", we really believed, “White is better." I never thought to find such thinking in America, but here I've found that education or civilized society has its limits.

More commentsNone of the women were Asian or Indian either, so obviously for whatever reason he does prefer white women with long hair. The odd thing is, he had a beautiful white woman with long hair at home! I don't think we can possibly get in Tiger's head and know what's going on there, and do we really want to? Good article Mogama, another perspective on the much talked about story.Thanks, Brianna, for adding to the discussion. You're right; no of us can precisely discern Tiger's choice of women. I'm simply sharing my two cents worth of thoughts. ~mogama~
Is not Tiger half Thai and half black? I can see no problem with him preferring lighter skinned women over black women but the fact that he is a womanizer and has symptoms of having the Don Juan complex appears to be the hugest problem and dangling a pretty white woman on his arm is no jackpot of romance. For goodness sakes, this is America and a big melting pot of many races.I hear your voice, Sharon. I am looking at this scandal from my background and experience, which may not be exactly the same as yours. Thankfully the "big melting pot" is not literal; America will always remain a place of diversity, which includes diverse views, yours and mine included. And that's a wonderful thing. Thanks for your input, my friend. ~mogama~
Tiger cheated: end of story. He just needed more awards, and to delve into the colors of his women is probably a mental excercise any psychologist would love, yet the fact remains this Don Juan treated women as trophies.Well done.Yes, Michael, that's the big story - Tiger's infidelities. As thinkers who write, we should delve into other sub-themes that underlie the big story. Else, every big story would be quite dry and boring. Thanks, my friend, for your take. ~mogama~
This is the second time I have heard this complaint and it raises the question if you want racial equality why does it matter? I haven't heard any complaints that I don't sleep with black women. It is time for the Black community to realize that as long as these attitudes continue there will always be a racial divide.I am afraid, Steven, that "a racial divide" will remain a reality for the human race. It has been intrinsically woven into every fabric of the religious, social, educational, and economic dealings of our existence. There is no society on earth that is free of racial divides, though many attempt such a claim. Racial majorities tend to downplay the racial divide while racial minorities tend to exaggerate it, but it is always present and active, in my opinion. ~mogama~
God only knows how much damage Tiger has already done to his own community... Does it really matter what color of the women he is sleeping with? All of these women knew he was married... this is a horrible situationYes, Riley, the main thing is the affairs, not the color, but it is difficult for us blacks not to see that side, even if it's not that important to others. I guess it has something to do with our cultural context, for better or worse. ~mogama~
Another courageous, to the point article as opposed to beating all around the topic really saying nothing. Food for thought.Thanks, Steve, for your generous comment. I really appreciate that. ~mogama~
Being older, I can remember long ago when white guys sneaked out and had a Black Woman on the side, they would say: "They had a prize."Sometimes you think when a Black Male becomes of economic status, he does in reverse what the White guys would do, get a prize. You may say a lot of white women who wants to be beautiful now, would get a lip plumper, breast plumper, butt plumper, and tan. Some Black women now seems to get bleached, weaves (blonde), and wear more make-up. Well that is the world, like Michael, he got bleached, the whites get tanned. It appears we just do the reverse of each other. Who knows, maybe one day blacks will fill their heart with greed and become financially padded.Thanks, Dr. Rucker, for so craftily posting your observations. I think we're working on the "greed" and "financially padded" part of this 'you copy me I copy you' game. ~mogama~
I'm really disappointed in this article. Why does it have to mean that something is wrong with an African American man simply because he prefers white women? I am an African American woman and I've always prefered white men to black ones. Not only am I attracted to them, I am completely turned off by black men because of their mentality. Quite frankly, I can't take the low self-esteem and baggage that comes with black men. It's always about "racism" or "the man" that's "keeping them down" or some other pathetic reason why they can't make it in the world (some 40 years after the Civil Rights Movement mind you). Quite frankly, black men are full of excuses and they are pathetic. Black women tend to be loud, rowdy, and always in your face.... no man in their right mind would want a woman like that.... definitely not Tiger Woods! You go Tiger!
Excellent article. This is one thing I respect about President Obama - even though he is mixed-race, he married a Black man and has Black children.I thought some of Tiger's women looked like they might be Black, but trying to "pass" as white.Thanks, Zhana, for reading. I am NOT against mixed marriages. In fact, I think dating or marrying across color lines is one way to bring about peace in the world! My only point in this article is to highlight how the black community is responding to the absence of at least one black girlfriend among Tiger Woods' dozen or so of ladies. ~mogama~
I remember when women wore the earrings and only men wore tatoos'.. Good article. Thanks for sharing.Those were the days, Linda, but they call them old fashioned now. ~mogama~
