So who the fuck am I supposed to marry? And who is this alleged Tiger?

I'm hurt.



Edited to say Gratz Lex, that is great news. Where should we send the presents? (Obviously you should PM me this information.)

So have I.
Can we just cite to the Salon.com series of articles arguing both sides of this issue and be done with it, then?

I think I'm in the minority here, but I find that shaving against the grain (especially on the neck/goatee area), one gets a cleaner and closer shave than shaving with the grain. Of course, I probably just do this b/c of my self-loathing caused by an ancestry of with-the-grain shavers.
If I shave the Kyan-approved way, I do not remove all of the whiskers from my face. Since this is why I shave, I flout his advice, even tho' doing it this way angries the skin (to borrow from Satchel Paige).

Oh my, that's a big baby! Hugs and more hugs to him! Get plenty of rest, and make your mister do as much as possible for you in the next few weeks.

Your calculations might be off. Her eyebrows look black to me.

You have completely missed my point. Completely. And it was not a hard point to grasp. Holding your hand now to walk you through it slowly, my point was that his choice in a mate says alot about his feelings toward being or not being black and internalized racism and self-hatred. I made no commentary on appropriateness. I commented on what this says about him.

We know why she married him. If he was a fry cook, she wouldn't be seen dead with him.

But that has nothing to do with something being appropriate or not. It is just commentary on their motivations for choosing who they did to marry. That cannot be either appropriate or inappropriate. It just is what it is.
You are a moron. Let me walk you through why you're a moron.

While your choice in a mate may say a lot about you, the color of your mate alone does not say as much as you think it says. You assume that Tiger Woods (who is multi-racial and not just black) hates who he is because he didn't marry a black woman. You assume that he went looking for white women and ignored all black women. You assume a lot of shit that you shouldn't. Hell, you assume that she wouldn't want to be with him if he wasn't a famous, rich golfer. Hopefully you assume that he wouldn't want to be with her if she wasn't hot.

If you knew either one of them (and I'm going to assume that you don't), you would be in a position to make some assumptions. But it's pretty clear you don't know shit.

Marrying outside of your race today is not the same as it was in the 60s. You tend to have relationships with the people you spend time with. You may say that Tiger chooses to not spend time with black people, but that would be stupid as well. Tiger plays golf. Golf is a white man's sport. He met his fiancee through another golfer (a white one. surprise!). I don't think he is making efforts to shield himself from black people. I don't think he is making efforts to surround himself with white people. I think he has made friends from the group of people to which he is most exposed. And I believe his best friend from college is Asian. What does that say about him under your ridiculous theory?

Tiger spends a lot of time raising money for people of all races. He is a student of the game and knows more about the contributions of African Americans to golf than anyone you know. It is disappointing that he has chosen to go the way of Michael Jordan -- transforming himself into a brand that needs to appeal to all types of people, instead of being a person with actual opinions on things -- but I don't think his choice of wife says what you seem to think it does.

And I still think you're a race-baiting piece of shit.

from the chapter called "the definitive guide to shaving pussy" of my sex how-to book (very informative and helpful how to book, although of course I forget all the good pointers when I need them most), it says that you are supposed to shave first with the grain and then against it. I wonder what Kyan would say to that.

(fyi, it works, but you have to do it every day. a lot of upkeep. have not done it for a while).

I am done with it except to note that the black-white interracial marriages are predominantly black man-white woman marriages. The black woman-white man marriages are far fewer. That fact says something, too. I will let you all figure it out for yourselves.

Wrong! That isn't what I said. Now, walking YOU through it again. I said because he picked a really, really white looking chick. The issue isn't that he didn't pick a black woman. The issue is the shockingly white woman he picked. It doesn't get any whiter than that chick.

If it were as simple as that, why don't we see black women-white man marriages at the same rate as black man-white woman marriages?
