Really Doe:
Geez, eat a cookie and chill out, ffs. I never mentioned denegration of charity or good works due to immorality, not once. YOU said that their (meaning the celebrities in question) women would will always be more beautiful than than the women of others, and their children more well-reared, and you insinuated that this was due to their monetary wealth. THOSE statements were to what I was referring. Those statements only. I did not respond to the collard greens statement because I did not feel merit even the attention to discuss it. But the originator of the statement, I felt, was not making a racist statement; in fact, I would have said that the poster was a person of color due to use of 'coloquial speech." He never brought race into his post; you did, in your rsponse. Ditto for me; the race never even crossed my mind. I can name equally dirty players of other races.
By the way, I love collard greens, but prefer turnip greens with my beans and cornbread.
In summary, let me just reinterate that celebrities such as Tiger do millions of dollars in charity and good works, and nothing should erase that. But my response was solely to your insinuation that he and other pros have a better quality of life in personal regards due to their millions of dollars, and that is with what I totally disagree. I agree that the 'gold mansion' comment was over the top. :P But I was motivated by the challenge that more money meant their children were being raised in and to a better standard than my child, and you just can't mess with a Mama's cubs. It gets her fur raised.
Thanks for the opportunity to discuss. Happy New Year!! We'll be having our black-eyed peas, which is supposed to bring money in the New Year. hahahaha
OH, I meant to say just another thing or two:
I agree totally about Texas lawmakers; their entire legion of elected officials at the state level is just a joke.
I completely think that more effort should be directed toward criminals of violent and sexual crimes and domestic violence.
Tiger and Plax are two way different sitches. Immorality does not equate criminality. How much "ass he got" is not the issue of his downfall. It is the ruse of a personal code of ethics, of honor and integrity. How much is not the issue. One is as bad as twenty, isn't it? If you break your word of honor once, the rest is just semantics. I'm not hating, or crucifing, or holier than thou. I am not holy at all. Personal integrity is not guaranteed by a cloak of religion, just like it can't be bought or redeemed by millions of dollars.
Here are statements that are not directly in proportion to each other:
Celebrity A does constant good works for humanity.
Celebrity A is extremely successful, is a role model for athleticism.
Celebrity A has publicly acknowledged that he has brought pain to his family in a humiliating manner for his personal indecretions.
These are three separate things, in my opinion. One does not disappear in the face of the other.
17. In the mean time, pedophiles and rapist are being let out early to gun down 4 good cops in Seattle and chop off the heads of little girls in Florida.
But yes, let's keep paying for Plaxico's stay in prison.

They need to pardon him - he didn't hurt anyone except himself.
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
