A Race To Get Out Of The Woods

I have to hand it to the National Enquirer (yes, I am a subscriber as I have an "enquiring mind".  They broke the story about the alleged affair between golf great Tiger Woods, a married man with two small children, and a New York woman.  Even if the story is accurate, I doubt that it will have much of a negative impact on Tiger Woods' public persona.  He is a black man in a white man's world - that world being the Professional Golf Association.  Given that, if the allegations of marital impropriety are accurate, they will be seen by others in the white man's world as nothing more than exceptional indiscretions.  Had Tiger Woods been a black man in a black man's world - e.g. the National Basketball Association, these same people would be claiming that, if the allegations are accurate, that Tiger Woods is the typical "gang-banger whose primary activities involve rapping, doing drugs and having sex with as many women as possible".  It is all a matter of perspective, a perspective that is often "out of whack" due to people placing more value in a person's ability to generate income (for themeselves and for others) than a person's ability to see others as valuable simple because they are people.
