This may be a little sensitive but I am really getting tired of people wearing their sensitivity on their sleeves. The comment she made was not racists unless you are black and view it as racist. Lynching have been caried out on classes of people from all countries and all walks of life.
*edit add: If she made the comment about Phil Mickelson would people have caused a stir? If the comment was racially insensitive, has it occurred to anyone that maybe she is so non racist that she only sees Tiger as a person and not a black person? Isn't that what the black population wants?

Maybe the african community should write a dictionary of racially sensitive words and phrases they do not like so the rest of the world will know what can and cannot be said. Many adults today were not born when these "racially sensitve" words were associated to the racial dictionary.
One day I would like to see someone accused of one of these "infractions" file a libel and defamation suit against the people who in return call someone racist.
Starting today, as a white man I am going to start a crusade to have the word "racist" removed from the diction of african americans. It is an offensive word and obviously only be used to denigrate white skinned people. It is ok if used by other white skinned people to referr to other white skinned people but by no means should it be used by black skinned.
Now for a more light story regarding Kelly. I was working out one day and this new girl was also working out at the same time. Guys were constantly clamoring around her as she was working out and I thought it was the typical dogs in heat over new flesh. My routine was to always shoot some hoops for about 30 minutes after weights and cardio so I do that as usual and within about 5 minutes this girl comes in and asks if she can shoot with me. She was pretty good and kicked my butt in several games of horse. I asked her what college she played for and said she did play in college but not basketball ... golf. She then proceeded to say she was in town for the Byron Nelson and the Colonial working for the Golf Channel. I was an avid golfer but did not have the Golf Channel so I had no clue who she was but suddenly realized why all the guys were hounding her so much. I proceeded to ask her all kinds of questions about the job, different players and she said she has interviewed Tiger many times and played golf with him as well. She was very friendly and easy to talk with and I credit that to the environment and the fact that I had no clue who she was.
We scheduled to meet up again the next day but as luck(bad) would have it I was sent out of town and did not get back in time to workout. The next year at the colonial I asked some of the GC guys if she was in town and they said she wasn't and that I didn;t have a chance with her anyway because she was on the other team. I feel bad because I think standing her up at the gym the next day made her go gay. LOL
