Do you think if Obama said something like this in his speech it would shut up the racist once and for all?
If he came out in his next speech and said something like Tiger Woods did here it would finally end everyones issue with race?
MEDIA STATEMENT:
The purpose of this statement is to explain my heritage for the benefit of members of the media who may be seeing me play for the first time. It is the final and only comment I will make regarding the issue.
My parents have taught me to always be proud of my ethnic background. Please rest assured that is, and always will be, the case - past, present, and future.
The media has portrayed me as African-America; sometimes, Asian. In fact, I am both.
Yes, I am the product of two great cultures, one African-American and the other Asian.
On my father's side, I am African-American. On my mother's side, I am Thai. Truthfully, I feel very fortunate, and EQUALLY PROUD, to be both African-American and Asian!
The critical and fundamental point is that ethnic background and/or composition should NOT make a difference. It does NOT make a difference to me. The bottom line is that I am an American...and proud of it!
That is who I am and what I am. Now, with your cooperation, I hope I can just be a golfer and a human being.
Signed,
TIGER WOODS
1 AnswerElections1 decade agoSomeone please explain to me how they can charge you to use free wifi on your cell?
I just bought a HTC PPC-6800 Mogul and Alltel is charging against my anytime minute when this thing is updating my email etc...
Now a little background: I already own a iPod touch and of course a laptop. As everyone knows you can use them free at any wifi hot spot. That is why I thougth I could use my wifi enabled phone the same way. So how can they charge me for using my phone's wifi to pick up free wifi at a hotspot the same as I do with my iPod touch?
It doesn't make sense to me somone please explain it to me. How is using a phone I bought any different than using my iPod Touch to receive wifi at home or at a Hotspot?
2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoSucked into a Tornado dream meaning?
Night before last I dreamed that I looked out a window and a tornado was almost up to my house. I turned to tell my husband and family to run. Just then it hit the house and took a big gaping piece out. Then just like in the movie Twister’s “cellar scene” I was being sucked into it and my husband was trying to hold on to me by my arms but I knew he couldn’t hold me much longer. Then I work up with my heart pounding.
7 AnswersDream Interpretation1 decade agoIf he wins, Barack Obama will not be the nation’s first black president.?
I like Obama and will probably vote for him over McCain but I think in a way he is a hypocrite .
He talks of being black but his mom is white as are the grandparents that raised him. Why doesn't he talk about that? Why not say he is bi-racial because isn't that what he really is?
Instead you see pictures of him with his (black) Grammy that he hardly knew and isn't even biologically related to him (she's a step-grandmother) but where is the woman who loved him and raised him? Have you seen her in any recent pics with him?
I think if he used his being bi-racial as part of his campaign it might help him get votes. There are tons of bi-racial people out there, not just black/white but white/hispanic, white/asian etc. With each decade that percentage increases. Isn't America a melting pot?
If he would just say he is neither a white canadate or a black canadate but the best canadate because he is going to do what's best for all Americans then he would certainly have my vote.
26 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy is the US help not wanted in Burma and China? You would think they would take all the help they could get.
I understand the Burma problem is with the Generals that do not trust outsiders coming in to help.
But what about China? Why are we not sending people trained for this very thing to help them? Is it they don't want us there? I saw that they are accepting foreign help from Japan, S. Korea and Russia.
11 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhat car makes have adjustable or power passenger seat?
I'm trying to find out what cars have the passenger seat that is adjustable in height (not just lumbar). I would like to get a Honda or Toyota for the gas mileage bonus. I have an SUV now and it sits up nice and high and I have no problems being in the passenger seat all day.
The problem is have a back issues and I can't sit in a regular bucket seat. I have to be able to sit upright with my knees level to my rear. If not I have sever sciatic pain that shoots down my hip and leg.
I found this on it... it's called Bucket Seat Syndrome this explains it exactly. http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Adams14.html
If you have a car or know of one that has the passenger seat with height adjustment please let me know.
4 AnswersOther - Cars & Transportation1 decade agoWhy would Natural Progesterone Cream cause heavy periods?
I really need someone who knows a lot about this stuff-
I went to my gynecologist who has a nurse practitioner working with her. I told her of my irregular periods and PMS symptoms. She said I needed Natural Progesterone Cream and gave me a Rx for a compound from a pharmacy. I used it for several months but had to quit because I was literally getting my period ever other week and it was lasting longer than I was off. I would have my period 10 days and be off 8 then start again. I was told and read online that I should have less periods or none at all.
Why would it do that? What hormone condition or other explanation could cause that reaction?
4 AnswersAlternative Medicine1 decade agoI need help finding a unique name for my Boston Terrier?
I need to choose a registered name for her papers and her 'call name' . From what I've read most registered names do include a piece of the mother and/or father's name, however. I like Bella for her call name (but other family members don't )
Anyway, any suggestions:
Father's name: Brutus Beef Kake
Mother's name: Jellybean
