Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?

[Andre]

What was his caddy supposed to have said?

I read some stuff in the news and had assumed they had edited the bad stuff out, but it seems that there simply was no bad stuff?

All I read was him saying it was his happiest caddy momment

I'm against racism completley, but for something to be racist it needs to be offensive, not factual. ie- if a person is black, then they are black. Nothing offensive in that.

All of my black/ Indian/ Muslim friends are actually the first ones to crack the racist jokes out about themselves.

But yes, I am getting very bored of the Ba, Ba, Ba Sheep culture. (that's what my daughter had to sing in nursery because Black Sheep implies black people are odd, I kid you not)

Yeah they're lambs.

Using the word 'Black' in a swear word is racist, why not simply call them cunt, ass hole, why have to put the colour of their skin into it. People get discriminated, excluded and even killed because of the colour of their skin so although Tiger Woods or even Ferdinand may not really worry about being called the names, the people that use them do need to be told that they are wrong.

so its the combination of skin colour and swear word that makes it racist. 'that black has-been golfer' would have been acceptable then ?

maybe you right

but if he is black how does it make it worse than fat bastard, ginger bastard. It's a descriptive word.

The person is after all 'black' so it shouldn't be deemed racist. It is a colour and the person is that colour. It shouldn't be a problem.

It seems that black people such as Floyd and Hopkins can be racist all the time and yet anytime a white person says something, then hell freezes over.

It's a case of total double standards.

Either you have standards for all or you have none. I think racism should only be a problem if there is serious malicious intent there. For instance, you shouldn't attack comedians for racist jokes.

They are wrong too. Its just fat and ginger are not a race.

That caddy has said 'black arsehole'..
I mean "cheating arsehole" we could of all accepted but he has drawn in all black people under the guise that he thinks black and arse hole belong together and that is racist.

I think it's because fat ginger people didn't have to sit at the back of the bus 70 years ago.

I've read what he said now

"I wanted to shove it right up that black ass hole"

Does sound racist.

But I'm pretty sure there was no race hate there. Not really sure why he threw the black in there, he probably isn't! If he'd have called him a dishonest cunt instead there probably would have been much less of a fuss.

If Tiger had called him a white prick, for some reason it sounds less racist.

Ahh is that what was said!

I read in the paper he said: 'Black arse hole.'

Cheeky press wankers! There is a big difference.

Yeah I found what I read this morning.

Check out the second paragraph down!

I've been tired of racism especially because a few people (Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) use race to shakedown companies to pay them off.

[chinchekked]

This whole situation is an indictment on today's culture for so many reasons. The fact that someone can't describe another as a black asshole without being labeled racist is quite silly especially when u consider they r former friends. It also sucks because overblown things like this make it difficult for "real" victims of racism, many of whom are immediately pushed aside and accused of playing the color game. I think very little of people like Sharpton because his exploits have discredited legit victims of racism but this crap here is news

Isnt saying you "Black ..............." just telling it how it is ?
I ve also never understood and if anyone on here wants to explain please do, but ive seen a few cases were a black guy calls his friends " hey nigger " ? please explain to me how this is ok ? and why it is done ?

Plus thinking about it in future is a black guy pisses u off , call him a "white bastard "
then he will say actually im black , then making a further mockery of the "race card" with is to often used by do gooders.

Its an observation to call someone who is black - black , just as it is to say fat bastard to someone fat,im sick and tired of people telling me what i can and cant say.

I've actually run into a few that would tell you to fuck right off if you didn't refer to them as black when being descriptive, rather than some trumped up PC "African American" etc etc. There are times when race is specified as it happens alot in the south and it always kills me when a white person is having a "normal" conversation and all of the sudden drops into a low whisper " The black percentage of students".... and then kick back up to normal tone. Kills me everytime. Shit, thats a case of not what you say but how you say...what the hell are you ashamed of and why are you whispering. Racist slag. I've heard people step right up, "fook that, I'm black, period". Honestly I can't have anything but respect for that. Keep it real. People today are just too damn sensitive but its the new touchy feely society we live in. Pc runneth over. Now being called an asshole in a public forum, thats just messed up. But in his case it was used as a double negative..black asshole?! Assholes an asshole, don't matter what color it is

[El Kabong]

...In defense of the moron, Steve is Australian and they aren't known for their political correctness. Australia is like Texas and England had a baby and then dropped a whole bunch of murder-animals on it.

Tiger doesn't seem to give a shit though
