Oprah Winfrey wants to interview Tiger Woods since his indiscretions have been publicly broadcasted. This is rather interesting considering that just a few short years ago, Woods had distanced himself from all things African American -- which includes his father and needless mention himself in the pursuit of making up his own race/ethnicity. Meaning, claiming his overall racial background of Native American, Caucasian, Asian ONLY.
In addition, the golf great has even snub many African American organizations in the past including the well known NAACP prior to reaching overall success in the sport. 
Now, considering that Woods has renounced his heritage and association with African Americans in general, he hasn't had any support from black communities;professionally, politically, personally, etc to position himself open to white supporters and yes, interviewers.  With this in mind, it is yet to be determined if 'The Big O' will be snubbed for an exclusive interview just so that he can garner one with a more favorable white interviewer/show host(es).  After all, Winfrey is a part of the very racial group that Woods is trying to steer clear of and it may be that way until she puts everyone on firm notice otherwise, of course.
Word to successful and pending successful minorities everywhere, take into consideration O.J's fate for looking over or demeaning his own race, including the well being of his mother, for the sake of recieving validation or approval from of white people everywhere and how far that got him. If you are willing to cut off your won, don't look for them to extend their support to the fullest especially when the ones you favor the most turns their backs on you.

You brought up something that I really didn't pay attention to but noticed without noticing. Tiger really does not associate with black people at all if he can help it. I was thinking it was just black women but he has no association whatsoever. As for Oprah, has he even been on her show before? I don't recall ever seeing him on it and she has had everyone on her show.

If Oprah manages to get an interview with Tiger, I'd probably piss on myself. I really don't see that one happening.

Speaking of Oprah, I heard that Oprah had done some low down things to get to where she is today. Not that I hold what I heard she did against her as Tiger not coming on her show, I just don't think that he will come on and discuss this scandal and how it affected him with her being a black woman.

I remember Tiger being on her show years ago but I have to go along with Genes on this one.

Tiger is such a joke. I mean, he is just a total loser and we all know that if he didn't have the fortune that he has, the white women and men he surrounds himself around would not have a thing to do with him. Those women didn't want him it was the money they wanted and like usual, a BLACK guy with money. I remember the PGA tournament when a commentator made it clear that Tiger is still a nigger and Tiger said nothing to his own defense. If I was O, I would not even bother to have him on my show with the attitude that he has against black people in general which does include her.
