Why do we as black people act like that towards each other?Those of us that come up through our blood sweat &tears and prosper why do the niggas come out always talkn about give back to the hood .

For people like Jim Brown, it's always been and always will be only how he perceives the world. It's a different world than when he was tiger's age and tiger is under no obligation to live his life under Jim Browns management. Not everything in life is racist. Not everything in life is about social change the way Jim Brown sees it. for all his ranting was he not just arrested and prosecuted for domestic violence? When was Tiger arrested? I rest my case.

Jim brown is a racist who perpetuates his racism by continuing to promote separation. Slavery is over - blacks need to get over it and move on. What's it going to take - you can't have it both ways.

Jordan & Woods hold no vested interest in politics, but they show their love with kids through their own foundations. I wish Brown well by leaving them alone as they contribute a lot in communities.

Actions speak louder than words.... I'm not bothered by people like Micheal Jordan, Tiger Woods or Clarence Thomas and many more. America has taught them well....But when shit hits the fan they will come to the Black community like O.J and Micheal and Black folks will embrace them dispite it all..:) lol

Woods made his remarks on Oprah when he was asked if it bothered him to be called an AfricanAmerican It does he said Growing up I came up with this name I'm a Cablinasian As in CaucasianblackIndianAsian Woods has a black father or to be precise if I am interpreting Woods reported ancestry correctly a half-black onequarter American Indian, onequarter white father and a Thai mother or with the same caveat a halfThai halfChinese mother I'm just who I am

Check out the Tiger Woods Foundation. Also the PGA tournaments he sponsors for charity every year. He honors the military in many ways. He honors his mother and father and wife and children. No scandal, no shame and has never uttered a bad word about anybody including Jim Brown. As you can tell I do admire this young man. And this comes from a 68 year old grandmother believe it or not. Just love to watch him play golf. No one else, just him.

Vengeance IS MINE : Get ur facts straight, Tiger Woods deceased father is 100% Black which makes Tiger Woods 1/2 Black and not 1/4.

And as for MJ, he's made millions from mainly hood niggaz buyin his shoes and clothes so he has an obligation 2 give back...when was dat nigga eva in da hood?...The only time u eva saw his house nigga ass was wen he was playing golf with Bill Clinton in da burbs.

It's easier for a camel to get through an eye of a needle...everybody needs correction and a connection but in Tiger case he helps people all the time and no one talks about it. I don't care what color he thinks he is the world goes by his dad. I wouldn't have either men so there and Michael is still mad about his father. Leave both alone and let GOD deal with them. We just have to do our part.

I am biracial, too, but I don't go around making a big deal about the fact that I am Hispanic or Irish. I have plenty to be proud of (and ashamed of) on both sides. I'd rather focus on my priorities, and acknowledge people as individual human beings...cuz in the end, that's what we are.

Some people chose to believe differently. *shrugs*, nothin' I can do about that.

you're listed as your father's ethnicity on your birth certificate, so not acknowledging his blackness is like not acknowledging his father...i have biracial kids and i make sure they know about both sides of their heritage, but i'll be damned if my kids don't acknowledge me..

Tiger is probably the most colorblind person in the world...he doesn't identify his blackness, his asian-ness...he's just a human being.

We could all learn a little bit from Tiger about that.

i can understand Jim getting mad at MJ cause he from hood ass Wilmington, NC but Tiger Woods grew up sheltered in the suburbs so did you really expect him to get involved witch community action in the lower income black communities ??!!... i mean c'mon, he don't even acknowledge his blackness. he uses a word niggas can't readily identify to describe his ethnicity..

Jim Brown does a lot of things, and then self-promotes the hell out of what he does, not so much to bring attention to the issue, but mainly so people don't forget Jim Brown. Plus, MJ and Tiger made their money through their own hustle and hard work...it's their right to do whatever they damn well please with it. Leave 'em alone.

What people don't realize is that Jordan and Woods actually do things for different communities without making a big self-promotion about it, or making racial issues out of everything they do.

Tiger and Mike don't care about the black community. They could make a huge impact but they are too busy chasin that gwop to give anything back.
