When first reading about it I found it offensive also,but upon hearing the comment in context of the conversation it sounded perfectly innocent to me
Plus,if she was black and said this would this even be a topic? If Charles Barkley said something like this it would be laughed off. If race is going to hopefully one day be a non issue it shouldnt matter what race you are as regards to your comments,if its offensive its offensive,if she would have been Black and said this its a non issue in my opinion.
Also what if she would have been talking about Mickleson and she would have said take him out and shoot him in the head,is that less offensive? if it is why should it be? to me she was basically saying the only way to stop Tiger is to kill him because he's so frickin good and she would have made the same comment or something very similar about another golfer who was as good as tiger no matter what race they were.Was it a poor choice of words? obviously or it wouldnt be a topic,but there was nothing malicious about it and she shouldnt lose her job about it

I saw the conversation on You Tube. I'm sorry but I just don't think she would have used that word if she was talking about a person that was white. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

Yes if Barkely used that word it probably would've been laughed off. But if he did say it in that context then he should be punished. But since he is black he probably would've gotten a slap on the wrist. Is it right? Of course not. But that's just how it goes. People are allowed to say things about their own race and get away with it. I make fun of black people all the time and I'm black.

The word lynch is only used when talking about a gang of white people hanging, beating or killing black people. Goggle it and see what comes up. Some very disturbing pictures will come up and if you're black it makes you angry. She could've used so many other words but why in the hell did she use that one? I don't want the see the girl get fired but Kelly T. is from South Carolina. She grew up in the south. She went to Duke. She should know better and I would bet that she has probably used that word behind closed doors joking around with friends. Does that make her a racist? No. But you never know how people act behind closed doors. The Golf Channel did the right thing and it's over with. No need for Al Sharpton to be running off at the mouth.
