Didn't Fuzzy Zoeller make some racial remarks about Tiger Woods a few years ago?

Yes.  The winner of the masters get to choose what is on the menu for next years formal dinner.  After Tiger won his masters, Fuzzy screwed up and joked that next year they would be eating fried chicken and watermellon....pretty stupid huh.

Actually, I am not a golf fan, but I am impressed with your knowledge of golf, surprisingly, not many people know about good 'ol Fuzzy these days.  My grandfather used to take me golfing with him when I was a kid, he watches golf, and when I used to play PGA Golf on my Sega gaming system, my golfer of choice was you-know-who.

I just really don't care, its between him and his conscience. I also think that it is really funny that no one has pointed out that the guys yelled racist comments back... cracker-ass is the equivalent of n*gger.\n\nThis country needs to get past this retarded double standard. Racist comments are either okay or they are not... right now its fine for black people to be racist to whites, but not the other way around. Also, how reasonable is it to have the "N" word used all the time in pop culture (music, movies, etc.) but keep acting like its this big taboo for a cracker-ass to say it? How about one standard for everyone?

They were probably brought up with that mind frame. Not really their fault. Interracial is not bad at all, but if you were brought up with your parents saying bad things all the time about other races you'd grow up assuming that what they say is right.

I particularly admire the response from "Have gun, will travel".\n\nWhy didn't he leave the country when Bush won in 2004?  Could it be, just maybe, because James Baldwin died seventeen years earlier, on Dec. 1, 1987?\n\nNah... that's too easy.  If he really tried, he would have dug himself up and moved to a cemetery overseas, right?\n\nHave gun, will travel, you might do your homework better before jumping in with your negative answers.

Oh yeah, it is absolutely Chris "Boomer" Berman you've been hearing (and occasionally seeing) during ESPN's joint coverage (with NBC) of the US Open. He's actually been doing it for a few years now, always partnered with NBC's Roger Maltby, and I really enjoy listening to him employ his famous nicknames and such in relation to golfers. \n\nObviously, most sports fans associate Boomer with football, even baseball. Less well-known is that he loves golf and plays whenever he gets the chance, including at pro-ams. I'm not sure what his handicap is but I feel sure he's just a hacker like the rest of us. ;-)

No, it looks like he will miss the cut --that may even be official now.\n\nSure, the sports/golf fan in me cares.  I think a lot of people - me included - wanted to see Tiger and Phil in the last group on Sunday...Plus, with Tiger just coming back after 9 or so weeks after his father's death, it would've been great theatre, and I've always rooted for Tiger, anyway.\n\nHe will find a way to bounce back this year, and he'll probably win either the British or the PGA.

Yes, there maybe some issues here but alot of what you have said is true.  Why there is not an an admission of this is unknown to me....I think that in this era people are uncertain of thinking this way since the desegragation and the ongoing violence that race still provokes(Rodney King for ex.).  People that remember this violent time in our county (1960's) do not want it to be repeated and those that have mearly learned about it have been conditioned to ignore the white issues surrounding blacks because it has become "politically incorrect".  There is a seemingly new race "war" brewing...Black's vs. Mexicans.  Now that is ALL our great nation needs..............

Yup, he has. He's an old, toothless tiger now. He should get back to cartooning or playing with his grandchildren and quit politics. 'Coz his capabilities no longer match his rhetoric.

"It is unrelated to Fuzzy Wuzzy the poetic bear.\nBear, meaning cop, appears in 1975 and is a reference to the "Smokey the Bear" hats that state troopers often wear."

not  in writing they dont but if i were of color i would steer way clear of these people. hell I'm white and i steer clear of them.... as i live near sturgis south dakota(home of the biggest and baddest biker rally in the world) i have had more than one experience with them....bad news..... i was going to leave this out but i used to know a couple angles and let me tell ya wowsa...they used to brag about their nigger skin couch at the clubhouse..... i apologize for the use of the "n " word. as it is not my belief but used it to make a point.

As bad as his comment was what about towards the end of the incident when they called him a "Cracker" and a "F**cking Whiteboy" And I havent heard anything about their apology's for their racist remarks yet..\n\nIt's a double standard! The fact that rappers say the "N" word (No I don't use it!!) all the time!! And you hear all these little hip hop clowns refer to themselves as it again every other word...I have no problem with the fact that he snapped and called them something they probably refered to themselves as all day long anyway....It was the comment that precipitated it\n\n"If it was 50 years ago you'd be hanging upside down with a fork in your a*s" That blew my mind...\n\nSomething like that just doesn't roll off your tongue unless you've thought about it before..That was unbelievably offensive and crossed every line there was to cross in my mind!! The dudes career has been dead for years. So I can't even say he buried himself with that comment...But he sure let people know where his mind lies..He's racist no if's ands or buts about it
843210
Sure, I believe him..\nAND..\nI don't care a bit about his having made these remarks ...\nI am so sick of this inane insane double standard political correctness I could puke...\nHave you ever watched the comics, black & white, at the Apollo \non HBO ???....Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, on and on and on...\nTotally racist profanity and not one word of complaint from anyone.

"It's not what you say it's the way that you say it."\n\nHad Tiger Woods directed the term at a Spastic person (or any other disabled person) in a derogatory manner then it could have caused offense, but he didn't.\n\nThe US and UK use of the word is different.  In the UK it's a corruption of Spastic, the term given to people with Cerebral Palsy.  In the US it's a more generalized insult along the lines of idiot, moron or numb-skull.\n\nNo offense was meant when he made the comment and the only people to have taken issue with his comment appear to be the namby-pamby, woolly-minded, politically correct brigade whose primary concern seems to be to dictate to people how they live their lives.\n\nInterestingly, more non-disabled people are offended by the use of the word spaz than are disabled people.  In fact, when you look at the results of the BBC's survey into 'offensive' terms it's the politically correct terms such as 'special', 'brave' and 'wheelchair bound' that cause more offense to disabled people than calling them 'psycho', 'mong' or 'window-licker'.\n\nPerhaps these PC orientated people should butt out of everyone's lives and realize the reality of the situation which is that they're the ones causing the offense - something the BBC survey quite clearly shows to be the case.

the guy screwed up, what he did was just plain wrong, and there is not alot he can say except to appoligize and keep a low profile for a while.\n\nTo piant the guy as a "racist" over one incident is more than I care to do. Folks screw up,..at what point is the pennance paid? Besides,...I am more concerned with the racist that I do not see. Just me,...your mileage will vary.
