So to see someone like Tiger who is considered "Black" and has had such success and has truly handled himself in such a "dignified human" way has helped the success of people like Obama.

He has demonstrated more than being a great golfer - he has demonstrated he is a very good human being...and...that is what makes the difference to those that would view him through older eyes.
He IS a great human being, which only increases his stature. Unfair of me to not note that previously. Tiger is the f*cking MAN.
