Tiger Woods Misunderstood

The fact that Tiger Woods committed act of infidelity with numerous women is of no importance to anyone outside of the immediate situation. It is not even interesting when compared to other acts of deviance in our society. What is crucial about the behavior of Woods is how deeply ignorant he is of the social allowances of the United States. Woods did not fully understand who he is in the eyes of the dominant community.


Tiger Woods was off on the wrong course from the very beginning. In an interview he said that he was not black. The dominant community is comfortable with black people that utter such statements. The problem is, Woods believed it. Of course he was the only that did believe it. This is what caused Woods to make the next two crucial mistakes.

Mistake number one is that he married and impregnated a woman from the dominant community. That act put him under the watchful eye of the dominant community. They watched Woods carefully, allowing him to have his affairs as long as his wife did not mind. Woods then made his second mistake. He treated his wife as an equal or lesser than himself. Woods was supposed to cherish his wife. She is a member of the dominant group and that is worth more than any amount of money in Wood’s hands.

Tiger Woods had no appreciation for how the dominant community viewed him. If his vision is not clear now it will become clear over the next few years. Woods is a black man and I am glad to have him. Mr. Woods, can we call you Tiger?
