    WHOEVER WROTE THE TITLE TO THIS “WE RUN THIS”…IS AN IGNORANT B***H WHO NEEDS TO BE SLAPPED

    Tiger Woods, Lets be real about this. LOL He is not worth of being called black.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kismet_only/ kismet_only

    Without Tiger’s black father he would be just another half Asian man. Not every black person in American relates to life in the ghetto!

    At least Tiger gives to the black community and his earnings do not come from us like Magic Johnson money.

    African Americans are anger at everyone………just look at the black on black crime trend.

    MAN Y’ALL LEAVE TIGER ALONE HE DOESN’T FEEL LIKE DUNKING ON PEOPLE OR GRABBING HIS NUTS ON MIC’S HE WANTS TO SWING LOL LET HIM SWING

    Why is there so much hate against Tiger Woods? That man did open some doors for black people even if you dont think he is considered “black”. So I wouldn’t push the man off so quickly.

    why yall hating on tiger woods cuz he didnt grow in the projects or the ghetto? he still black u cant take that from him so stop hatin the man

    Tiger woods doesn’t define himself as black, so including him in that area, is off kilter with what he would want. I’m sure he wouldn’t include himself anyway, its not that he’s not “ghetto” he’s against using one race to define himself, period. That’s his own feelings.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sunshyne_defined/ Sunshyne_defined

    And anyways, why are so many people focused on that, and not on the actual content of the article?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SEVUNDESCHYLD/ SEVUNDESCHYLD

    Here’s the question… how much are those 8 worth in combination? Would that be enough to start black initiatives in a country which made them so rich, yet the majority of blacks are poor?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/moniQTee/ moniQTee

    NOBODY HATES ON TIGER WOODS! BUT TIGER SAID HE “WASNT BLACK,” so fukem!

    THAT WAS HIS DECISION. AND WHO DID HE OPEN DOORS FOR? LAST I CHECKED, THERE WASNT ANY BAN ON BLACK GOLFERS PLAYING THE SPORT.

    Tiger is as black as:
    Bob Marley (White father)
    Halle Berry (White Mother)
    Mariah Carey (White Mother)
    Barack Obama (White Mother)

    Tiger is right, he is not black, his mother is Asian and his was father. To say he is black is to disses his mother, to say he is Asian disses his father.

    Tiger is a human being and man, playing Pro Golf and getting paid big time!

    To all who feel that Tiger, Barack, Bob Marley, and others that come from interracial parents, being black is not about who your parents are. Being black is your dealings with society and how society treats those of different color. There’s not much difference between child rearing in the average white home vs. the average black home. It’s when that child steps into the world and has to live in the world in which he is constantly reminded of not who he is but what he looks like, is when the character of that person is developed and which identity is born.

    No matter how rich you think they are Old White Men (bi-sexual, satanic white men @ that) Give Them Their Pay-Check, so they don’t run shyt. EOM

    most of all them “black” people are mixed, im not saying anything is wrong with it, but its like ….. i dont kno ima leave it at that.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/virtuouswoman_/ virtuouswoman_

    HTOWN (comment below),
    Most African Americans are mixed PERIOD!!
    Ancestors taken by whites and natives, so we all mixed…point is we are still African American!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Htowns_QueenD/ Htowns_QueenD

    well virtous woman i realize that but it aint even about that, I realize we all mixed, but at the same time ive also realized most “black” people that really get recognized are biracial straight up. Seriously im not tryna start anything but its true. lets be real for a sec. All the women in the videos and stuff they all real lightskinned and i just feel like they are making blacks feel like thats how they are supposed to look. Another thing Like all the biracial people thats mixed with black are considered black. Why cant a white and black mixed person be considerd white, (there are some out them that look straight up white).Like i said before im not going to get into that, its another subject.
    So PEACE and Stay True all yall

    i think as a biracial woman myself that we ALL need to stop all this damn race shyt fa real..byotches r byotches no matter their race! im not less of a person because i hve white in me nor am i more of a person because i hve black n me! I dnt know bout yall but i kno imma child of God and MY God dont look at race!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ballerbabe/ ballerbabe

    i think the race card will stop being played when the dealer changes the cards we are dealt. you can only play with the cards you dealt!! and race is and it seems always will be a factor, like or not!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JTTHAFINEST/ JTTHAFINEST

    Just because you have have a white mother and black father or vice versa,doent mean your either race because your mom or dad might not be 100% white or black,so officially it should go by the majority of the bloodline.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JenBen12/ JenBen12

    So uh..how exactly was this list complied? Survey? Something else? When the names are just listed with no references as to why they are ranked the way they are…it makes it feel a little less legitimate. But..I think Oprah should be higher!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/0VancouverHurts/ 0VancouverHurts

    y is tom hanks on the list?
