Caddie Steve Williams was understandably upset when Tiger Woods abruptly ended their long golfing relationship. But Williams recently took his anger too far and showed his true colors with a racial slur against his former boss that has the golf world on edge.
While getting roasted Friday night at a caddies award party, Williams spoke of his infamous TV interview after winning at the Bridgestone Invitational while serving as caddie for Adam Scott, saying “It was my aim to shove it up that [Tiger Woods’] black a**hole.”
Backlash from Williams’ remarks was swift and condemning, prompting him to issue a hasty apology. The PGA also issued a statement from PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and European Tour chief executive George O’Grady, saying: “We consider the remarks of Steve Williams, as reported, entirely unacceptable in whatever context. We are aware that he has apologized fully and we trust we will not hear remarks ever gain. Based on this, we consider the matter closed, and we will have no further comment.”
<span>Seems when it comes to the issue of "Race" _"Racism" in America, the more things Change (We have INDEED come a mighty long way as a nation)…the more they stay the same (but We've STILL got a mighty long way to go). It's obvious this sorry story is about yet another CLOSET white racist *celebrity* (of a sort) who got caught up in anger and Hatred and ended up Outing himself. But I'm also looking at this from another perspective as well….</span><span></span><span>I'm thinking, this is really hard time for both Tiger Woods and Pres. Obama. Both men are having to come to grips with a very painful realization: No matter your Successes/achievements in life…no matter your financial worth, OR *bi-racial* heritage, no matter how many White people genuinely see you as a Man, Equal to them in every Respect_there are STILL lots of White people who will ALWAYS see you as "just another N*gger." </span><span></span><span>Sad but True. </span>
