01/17/2008: "Noose on cover elicits negative reaction"

The editor of Golfweek magazine said he was overwhelmed by negative reaction to the photo of a noose on the cover of this week's issue, illustrating a story about the suspension of a Golf Channel anchor for using the word "lynch" in an on-air discussion about how to beat Tiger Woods.

Kelly Tilghman was suspended for two weeks because of comments she made during the second round of the Mercedes-Benz Championship, when she and analyst Nick Faldo were discussing young challengers to Woods.

Faldo suggested that "to take Tiger on, maybe they should just gang up (on him) for a while."

"Lynch him in a back alley," Tilghman replied.

[ For so long, it's been an easy best-seller: the race inequity. Now people are sick of it. ]

"Now people are sick of it." No, the reaction is from people who think that displaying a noose is an act of racial insensitivity. The people crying over this are the ones who participate pro-black racial politics.
