The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

Racism is borne out of fear. The fear stems from the racist feeling that he/she will be supplanted by the entity they have convinced themselves to loathe. Deep down inside of the racist is an emptiness--or if you will--a giant hole that can never be filled. They hate their very existence! They hate the day they were born!

So, the racists will defocus from dealing with their issues, and attack someone they feel are too powerless to defend themselves against their insane onslaught. The racists can never be satiated-not until they do a deep introspection--and work through the myriad issues that have brought them to this pathetic, pathological stage!

The comments of Kelly Tilghman, the Golf Channel anchor has flown very low beneath the radar screen. Tilghman is a "Racist." There is no wiggle room for this sick woman. She can't say, "What I Meant Was, Or, I Was Taken Out Of Context." No, Kelly Tilghman really stuck her big foot into her equally "Big Mouth" last Friday. While discussing Tiger Woods' dominance in the game of golf, Tilghman said at the Mercedes-Benz Championship that "Young Players On The PGA Tour Should Lynch Him In A Back Alley."

What I find frightening are the many people that I've heard defend Tilghman. I heard one national sports talk show host declare, Kelly Tilghman, "Isn't A Racist." This person admitted that he doesn't know Tilghman. Yet, he can issue an unsupported declaration that says Tilghman is "Not A Racist." Others have said "She Mis-Spoke." Whatever the hell that is suppose to mean. I heard another person say that Blacks shouldn't be so sensitive. Incredible! Still others have said, "Tiger Forgave Tilghman, Besides This Was Between This Woman And Tiger." Are these people racists? Yes, I think they are "Unconscious Racists." Given this country's history toward African-Americans, especially Black men, it stretches credulity, those "Grasping" for reasons to "Rescue" Tilghman. Some have even gone so far as "To Blame The Victims, In This Case, African-Americans, For Tilghman's Racist comment."

As an American of both African and Cherokee Descent, I find nothing funny about Tilghman's offensive remarks. For once, I find myself agreeing with Al Sharpton. As frightening as this may sound, I agree with Sharpton that Tilghman has to go. She should be fired, "Now." Although I respect Tiger Woods' golf game, I do not respect him as a Black person. Woods is a confused young man. He does not see himself as Black. He came up with some ridiculous name to describe his ethnicity because of his multi-racial background. If you will, allow me to let you in on a well guarded-secret. Most African-Americans can say, "We Aren't Really Black." More than "70 Percent Of African-Americans Are Mixed With White Blood."  This is due to pre-and post antebellum behavior of White slave owners. Although I describe myself as African-American, I am equally proud of the Native American blood that runs through my veins. But, I want to tell you something. When a White person sees me, if the truth be told, "They See A Black Person." And here's a bulletin, when a White person looks at Tiger Woods, "They See A Black Person."  Woods is simply in deep denial over who he is! At some point, when he grows up, perhaps he will address his issues of "Self-Hatred." Otherwise, he will stumble through life, ala, "The Pink Elephant Syndromne."

Woods told reporters that what the racist Kelly Tilghman said, "Is A Complete Non-Issue." What Tilghman said is not about Tiger Woods. It is about the "Thousands Of Americans Who Were Lynched In America, Starting In The 1880's." Woods would do well to open a history book, and learn something about the travails of African-Americans during this country's early years. Officials at Tuskegee University in Alabama say that during the years, 1882 to 1968, 3,466 African-Americans were lynched. This number does not consider the number of Africans who were lynched prior to recorded history!

The Golf Channel had the gall to say that Tilghman would not be punished following her racist rant. Then, the pressure from groups like Sharpton's came. Now, this hate filled woman has been suspended for two weeks. I began to question why would the Golf Channel defend this type of overt racism? So, I started to do some independent research. The Golf Channel is owned by the USA Network. And guess what? The USA Network is owned by "NBC Universal."  After discovering this information, I began wondering why didn't these vitriolic comments receive the same kind of press that the stupid words of Don Imus got? For reasons unknown, Imus was thrown under the bus by his liberal buddies. This man is certainly not anything resembling a Republican or Conservative!

Folks, NBC is "Ultra-liberal." Truth be told, the socialists press is racists! Therefore, I am not surprised at the non-response given to the comments from Kelly Tilghman. I am willing to bet that this woman herself, "Is A Liberal." Here is why I say this.

If Kelly Tilghman had been a "Neo-Con," a label the socialists love to hang on us, her comments would have been plastered in every newspaper in America. Her words would have been place Ad Nauseum on network T.V. But, this didn't happen, because this woman is a racist, liberal. Socialists scribes in this country will go to any length to protect one of their own.

Amazingly, there are some who are advocating that this entire matter be dropped. They argue that since Woods has called this a non-issue, that should settle it. I must state once again. This is "Not About Tiger Woods." Kelly Tilghman's hate-filled words touched the psyche of every "Black Person In America."

If you are one of those who say, "Let's Move On." My suggestion to you is to, "Come Out Of The Closet--Sheet And All."

America, we can--and must do better than this. I have gone on record in the past as stating that eventually White-Americans would become desensitized to people like Jesse Jackson pulling the "Race Card" to suit his fancy. I also stated that when a real case of racism rears its ugly head, Whites would be too fatigued from being hit over the head with "The Race Card," that they would not even flinch over a clear case of racism!

Sadly, that that day has arrived!
