What to Do with Kelly Tilghman's Suggestion to "Lynch Tiger Woods"
---
"Look, the truth is that many White Americans truly feel that they are
superior to people of color in the U.S. (Unfortunately this is true, though I don't consider myself one of them)
That is a fact.
And many People of Color hate the White supremacy, racism, degredation, and condescending nature of White Americans. (hate it they should!)
But until there is serious, open, transparent, and continued dialogue about race relations in the U.S. nothing will ever change to a level of mutual respect. (Let's talk!)
Don't lynch Kelly for saying this. (Stupid slip of the tongue, for sure, but not worth getting fired over.)
She helped to bring to the forefront what many already think, believe, but
silently keep to themselves for fear of retribution. (not sure about this)
The only way to bring change in the U.S. is though dialogue and honesty. The problem is that many people aren't honest with themselves, let alone anyone else.
(let's talk!)
Let's begin by changing the conversation to a more proactive stance. Work
to improve yourself first.
Knowledge is truly power!"

the parentheses are mine.
I do wish we could talk more.
So, let's talk.
How can all peoples in America learn to accept one another for who they are, as they are?
What can be done?
Let's start here.









You've got to be kidding me. There was nothing to do with race in her comment. Lynching actually started and had nothing to do with blacks.
Gimme a sick break. I wish someone would lynch you.
