Two Year Old Tiger Woods On The Mike Douglas Show
At the time, in the mid 1990's, the 21-year-old golf star was touted as the "Great Black Hope,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," the putter-wielding equivalent of Martin Luther King Jr. Pundits waxed poetic about the cosmic social significance of Woods' feat. "I am Tiger Woods" ads seem.
Then,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tiger Woods said he wasn't "black,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," at least not completely but that he was, in fact "Cablinasian." Woods made his remarks on "Oprah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," when he was asked if it bothered him to be called an African-American. "Yes actually it does," he said. "Growing up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I came up with a name: I'm a 'Cablinasian.'" As in Caucasian-black-Indian-Asian. Woods has a black father (or to be precise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if I am interpreting Woods' reported ancestry correctly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a black and American Indian,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], white father) and a Thai mother (or with the same caveat, a half-Thai, half-Chinese mother). "I'm just who I am," Woods told Oprah Winfrey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "whoever you see in front of you."
But just "who I am" remained contested ground. According to Time magazine, Woods' coming out as a Cablinasian caused "a mini-racial firestorm . Woods' remarks infuriated many African Americans who see him now as a traitor. Some blacks saw Woods' assertion of a multiracial identity as a sellout that could touch off an epidemic of "passing." Light-skinned Colin Powell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], responded to Woods' comments with the following, "In America,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which I love from the depths of my heart and soul,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when you look like me, you're black."
No one can deny Tiger Wood's is the best golfer of his generation and it's interesting to note that this little "Cablinasian" 2 year old could hit the ball with his child size golfing equipment even at the young age two as seen in the following video. Notice how little Tiger swings his golf iron sets similar to the way in which he does now only with more precision and grace.
While I'm not putting forward Tiger Woods as a role model,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], racial or otherwise. I don't know anything about him, except that he seems to respect both of his parents and is an athletic prodigy who is a master at self-marketing, and is given to telling black men have big dicks jokes in slick men's magazines. But whoever Woods really is behind the scenes, his refusal to be pigeon holed into a single racial category points the way out of the dualistic rigidity and emotional hysteria that has led America into a racial impasse. By choosing to embrace all of who he is: an entity for which there is no name, except one that sounds like a tribe from a country from the movie Narnia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Woods, the goofy 21-year-old with the golden-brown skin and the near to perfect swing, has become a messenger for a larger truth. The our racial differences don't make us who we are in life.
