Tiger's Penchant for Barbie Dolls Is Depressing

(Newser) – They look so much like Barbies, “Mattel could sue for trademark infringement,” writes
Eugene Robinson, who finds Tiger's taste in women the saddest of the sad facts of his serial philandering. It points to the deep insecurity of a man who "appears to have bought into an 'official' standard of beauty that is so conventional as to be almost oppressive." If he wanted to prove that he could have any woman he wanted, you'd think he might have gone for some variety.

“If adultery is really about the power and satisfaction of conquest, Woods's self-esteem was apparently only boosted by bedding the kind of woman he thought other men lusted after,” Robinson writes in the Washington Post. "His taste in mistresses leaves the impression of a man who is, deep down, both insecure and image-conscious—a control freak even when he's committing 'transgressions.' "

No...the black man with the white woman is a thing of today and its okay (to each his/her own). But a problem arises when black men think they're too good for black women and white women start sizing themselves up to black women. Young tiger got caught with his stick hanging out all over the place and he's one who's running his ass around here disclaiminng the fact that he's "BLACK". This is where the problem is because he can screw every skinny white women who wants to give it up and I'm "SURE" he can score some black women just because of his name. I say he just needs to own up to who he is as a person because black daddy, asian momma equals a black damn baby (young tiger). To hell with that multicultural crap!!!
