I wish folks like Rev. Al Shapton would stop turning "insensitive" remarks into his favorite cause racism. If Rev. Al wants the younger gernerations to be more civil toward one another then he should call Kelly's comments what they were...hurtful but clearly NOT racist!!!

"Kelly and Tiger are friends," but Kelly and the rest of Black America isn't.
We all know what the noose was used for. Then here it goes again, "I'm sorry! It was all in joke! or I didn't mean it"! or what about the old favorite, "I'm not a racist!" If you are not racist do not say things that implicate that you are!" Tell me, why does ANYONE have to get on any type of media and say something royally racially stupid? You so call pride yourselves in upholding your standard of life but you just have to try to step on someone that you obviously think is unequal to you. Save it! If it is just a slip of the tongue as many of you want the rest of us to think, then you really need look at yourselves without the rose colored glasses. There is just no need or no room to put anyone else down whether it is a joke or not. Every few months it seems that a caucasian has got to open their mouth wide and insert his or her foot in it. What in heaven's name is going on with this trend? Now some of you are claiming that you are sick of the magnifying glass reflecting on these mostly ignorant sayings. Here is a clue... Stop floating down the river of denial and wake up White America, you talkabout being courteous and respectful to others, but it seems that most of you cannot let differences in people lie and whether it is a joke or not it is not up to you to make light of it.

Just another cowardly remark made by a white person. And still people want to cover up for this ignorant white girl. I do not see why african americans continue to cry everytime a white person makes a racists remark. All we need to do is give white people the same treatment that they give us. Make them feel uncomfortable in the public eye, and watch there response to our action. See if they just brush that under the mat. White people probably will scream bloody-murder.

This article starts off by saying Kelly is a "cute" golf announcer. Isn't that sexist? I mean, they don't use "cute" to describe the male announcers. The writer of the article should be suspended for 2 weeks, or at least let Al Sharptonue know about it so he can say something stupid.
See how easy it easy to say something that can be misconstrued easily?
I boycotted the golf channel until Kelly's back. From what I see on the sports news, I haven't missed much at except a tournament with a bunch of no names.

Kelly mean't nothing untoward in her ". . . lynch . . . " remark, re: Tiger Woods. Consequently, she has nothing to apologize for.
Once again we see opportunists in the liberal community - black, white, etc. - seizing on any comment to get their whiny rhetoric back on the front page.
If the opportunists keep this crap up we're gonna see a return to a brand of racism the likes of which most people have never encountered.

I understand where Woods is coming from, he seems to keep his class in check. But somethings are not about him. This young woman said people should lynch him which has racial undertones, not to mention if she is a "friend" she would not find getting on TV talking about killing him funny.
Rick Says:
January 24th, 2008 5:05 PM
Hang it up, Donna. It's over. Let it go. Tiger did. How long are you people going to hang on to this? (pardon the pun--was that racist?)
Get on with it and your life! Kelly paid for what she did. And, by the way, when did lynching become racist? Watch any old black and white movie. It was used against blacks, but that's not how it started.
Find another issue--move on--drop it and go away.

To "Martin" & "killdabitch"; Do you realize it was an African-American that exploited what Kelly said? My Gawd! If your people weren't so #@&??// insecure about your place in soceity and would quit trying to elevate yourselves to some superior status that 99% of us never attain in our lifetimes anyway, maybe "the race card" could be obliterated for good. Besides, you should be more concerned about the "other races" that are seeking to undermine our soceity. If you live in America, be an American all the way - not when you feel it suits you. If everyone in this country worked, paid taxes and bought American - we wouldn't be where we are today! Two hints on who will soon be running America (China Syndrome) and (The British are Coming)

It seems that most pundits are missing the point that Kelly was paying Tiger a high complement! If she had said that the only way for other golfers to beat him was to whack him over the head with a golf club, no one would have cared and the point would be clear. Apparently, however, one's true intent is no longer important just the specific words used. What a pathetic commentary on our society!

Sometimes i wonder what would happen if i went on television and said the following statement. Only one race has invaded, enslaved, and killed pretty much every other race on this planet at some point in time. This race must be exterminated, so history does not repeat itself. I'm not saying which race it is but if u feel offended by this comment it must be yours.
MC Says:
January 25th, 2008 7:32 PM
Bottom-line: The comments inferred both violence & racism. Either on its own is very bad. It's clear that Kelly did not live up to her "responsibility" as a person that is speaking to millions of people. This is her "job" and frankly she's lucky to still have it.
Rick Says:
January 25th, 2008 8:31 PM
PEOPLE---PEOPLE---PEOPLE!!! What part of "it's over" don't you get? She's back to work, she apologized, Tiger's OK--how long are you going to drag this out??? Are you getting some sadistic joy out of your continual moaning and groaning?
You try to find racism in EVERYTHING! All your foolish gibberish won't help or do anything positive. Grow up. Go find a job.

I think that those that say these terrible things knowingly are aware of what they are saying, if not, they wouldn't say it. The real reason why they say it because simply put it frustrates them to see others held in such high regard. Tiger Woods is a professional. He doesn't have to say it. it shows in his actions not only on the green but off the green as well. She knew exactly what she was saying..the only thing that people of her kind fail to realize is that these kind of senseless comments just makes themselves look like who they really are, idiots of the 21st century. Who in their right mind would say such defaming comments about a man who has shown his unselfish character to manking by giving donations and a part of his winnings back to those who he can help and who needs it. Regardless of people that despise him because of what they WISH they could accomplish, this man will continue and go on and on without anyone's help. Everbody knows his abilities and uh...they respect it, yes they do. GO TIGER !!!
