What’s A Quick Lynching Between Friends?
Golf Channel ‘Racist’ Slapped On The Wrist

Okay, so “lynching” has terrible historical connotations, invoking years of legislated racism toward African-Americans. But, what if you were just joking?

That’s how Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman meant it when she suggested that golfer should “lynch [Tiger Woods] in a back alley."

The Golf Channel thought it was mad inappropriate, which let’s be honest, it was. Al Sharpton, who, for the record is still alive and available for appearances, thinks she should be fired.

But back in the real world, as we predicted, the Golf Channel gave her a light punishment and suspended her for two weeks.

Hey vakay!

Oh, get real. You have to be racist to consider her comment racist. Any normal person wouldn't have even thought of it in those terms.

Normal = ignorant white person?

Asked any normal black people whether the comment bothered them? Most decent folk don't even think about the color of someone's skin do they? Or are you now going to define "Decent" as "Ignorant White Person"?!
