Long story short:


Faldo said, "To take Tiger on, well yeah, they should just gang up for a while until ..."
"Lynch him in a back alley," Tilghman interrupted with a chuckle.

Tilghman (who has been friends with Tiger for over a decade) gets a two week suspension, apologizes to Tiger, he accepts, says no harm done.

Sharpton wants her fired, and plans protests outside of the Golf Channel's HQ in Orlando, FL.

Let's recount Sharpton's latest three endeavors:

1. Don Imus (Notorious Shock Jock) - Calls a women's basketball team a group of "Nappy Headed hoes", Sharpton demands he gets fired, he is, Imus returns to airwaves after about 6 months.

2. Michael Vick (NFL Football Star) - Ran a pitbull fighting ring, with dozens of dogs tortured, maimed, and killed over several months. Sharpton asks that Vick be forgiven and allowed to continue to play, no harm no foul. Vick gets 23 months in federal prison.

3. Kelly Tilghman (Golf Channel Broadcaster) - Suggests that the only way to beat Tiger Woods was to lynch him in a back alley. Says no racial intent, immeadiately apologizes, Tiger forgives, Golf Channel suspends her for 2 weeks. Sharpton wants her fired.

All of this from someone who at one point said "Mormons didn't really believe in God"
He sought and was forgiven by Mormon higher-ups

Feel free to discuss. (I personally feel like he's a racist, self-serving dick).

I agree he's a self serving dick. I did agree with Imus being fired though.
 
I didn't want to post this because it just twists me so horribly.

But here we go: (offensive material ahead)

Al Sharpton is the worst thing to hit blacks since Katrina. That fucker needs to be lynched for the good of America. All he does is spread the hatred and bigotry by dragging everyone through the mud. We need to move on from this hatred yet he wants to make everyone suffer instead of make amends. If someone shot Al Sharpton I would rather have a beer with them than imprison them.

Tiger Woods said it was no big deal. The network station didn't either. She apologized. Yet Al Sharpton, being the money hungry dick that he is, must ruin more peoples live just to fatten his wallet and ego.

Jesse Jackson is no better.

fuck the PC fear mongering state that is the America we live in.
 
Sharpton and Jackson both are nothing but a bunch of self serving racism stokers. Even when the concerened parties are willing to forgive and forget, there they are keeping it going.

Jackson even had a falling out with Martin Luther King Jr., who accused Jackson of using the civil rights movement to promote himself.

They could actually get real jobs, but why should they when they can just keep interfereing in situations that don't concern them.

I have minor heartburn with it. He claimed the Tennessee women's team was cute, and Rutgers had nappy-headed hos, and it was RACIST!

The Rutgers team had 9 of 11 african-americans. Tennessee? 8 of 11. Unless the racism line is drawn somewhere between 73 and 82 percent African-American, I don't think the comment was racist. He (Imus) apologized because too many people have a big fear of Sharpton, and lots of European-Americans have guilt over what their ancestors may or may not have done to people who may or may not have been ancestors of others. Imus was subsequently fired simply because advertisers were pulling out... out of fear of Sharpton.

Were Imus's remarks retarded? Yeah. Were they racist? I think Imus's admission that they were was to save his own skin.

Earlier incidents involving Sharpton (Tawanna Brawley, Duke LaCrosse, and [possibly] Freddie's Fashion Mart) left a bad taste in my mouth prior to Imus, Vick, and this case, so I'm probably a tad biased. Take it for what you will.

I don't like him, I don't like his sensationalism, I don't like his politics of racism. I will admire him for knowing how to organize a damned crowd, though.
 
Can't believe I actually used to care about the stupidity of this.

If a bunch of people want to get worked up about this, be my guest - I don't work in this industry and I think before I talk so it will never affect me.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Explain to me how he's "promoting" racism.[/quote]

He's pushing that agenda that if a white person even remotely hints at a negative action towards a black person, that person is a full blow racist, needs to be fired, and the black community as a whole needs to be apologized to/given blowjobs.

Someone else described it best: "Sharpton burns bridges when he should be building them".

Yet you get the opposite reaction when a black person is at fault, such as Vick, whom Sharpton said should be allowed to be continued to play, forgiven, etc.

Long story short, it's hard to bring people together when you're emitting nothing but hypocrisy.

The way I see it, Sharpton reacts towards language. "Nappy headed hos" and "lynching" get his ire, but that's by no means the extent of racist language in modern dialogue. Where was he when Bill O'Reilly remarked that he was amazed by the "civility" of people in an upscale soul food restaurant in Queens (or was it Harlem)? It's not as flagrant as Imus or this cat, but the expression of amazement that blacks can act "normal" is far more racist than either the Rutgers or Tiger Woods scenario.

so we need to move on from hatred by promoting hatred? Good logic there, skippy.

I think we should be well past the point for calling anyone to be lynched. I can see if you merely claimed that Sharpton should just go away but you didn't. You took the next idiotic step. I suggest you go do some reading on what lynching involved and it's racial impact before promoting it.
 
When people make sensational and racist comments (see: don Imus) there is no harm when people drag him through the mud. (dude was a piece of shit, anyway). Regardless of whether or not people wish to see racism as an aspect of the past or current in society, it's still an issue that can be dealt with through freedom of speech (which is what Sharpton is expressing). My guess is that most of the anger directed at Sharpton comes from populist right wingers who see any black motivation as enemy of corporatist statehood (after all, how many tribes in Africa had notions of White european property?).

Also, hate to bring in a rebuttal about the whole Kelly Tilghman incident, but Golf has been known for its exclusive upper class male Wasp mentality. Tiger Woods made concessions to get to where he was (he is, after all, the best golf player in history) as a black man, so him stirring the pot isn't good for anybody.
 
Al Sharpton could die tomorrow and I'd throw a party.

It may have been in bad taste for GolfWeek to show the noose, but to fire the editor? I know it pertains to the situation, but since when did a noose become something that only blacks can feel pain from? Let's completely ignore the hundreds of years of use on everyone else, and focus on the 80 or so years it was used by some in-breds from Tennessee? Oh wait, it's already been done to slavery.

Between this and the founding fathers comment, noone could be this stupid.
