Breast Cancer Patient Allegedly Fired TWICE While Seeking…
Judy A. Smith: Ask Judy: 'I Didn't Go To School For This'
Some are applauding Elin's bold move, saying that Tiger deserves whatever he gets after proving himself to be a cheater. Some are saying that she's greedy, since she hasn't swung a golf club in any of the professional tournaments in which Tiger earned his wealth. To break down the dollar amounts that Elin is requesting, look at it this way: To get $750 million for six years of marriage, she would earn $125 million per year, more than any athlete in the world. That would also be $2.4 million per week, $342,456 per day and $14,269 per hour.
Does someone deserve that much money for dealing with a bad relationship? What about the rest of us who've gone through heartbreaks of our own? Would you put up with Tiger's cheating for that kind of money?
In this episode of 'Financial Lovemaking,' S. Tia Brown and I discuss Tiger and his complex divorce. This situation looks like it's going to get worse before it gets better. Tiger may be playing for the next 10 years just to pay off his marriage debt.

You say, "If this don't teach brothers)
Why are you talking about Tiger as if he's a brother? He's Cabalasian or did you forget? He doesn't identify with brothers. For whatever reason, he needed to be Cabalasian. He doesn't even identify with his father accept for the fact that they're both cheaters. This is one sad story. One thing for sure, he knows how strong Black women are and I thank GOD, they're not in this mess. First of all it wouldn't be a mess. Only a White Woman (WW) would have allowed Tiger to hump them over and over again and not get a damn dime. A Sister? He would have had to pay the lights, rent, cable, buy some groceries or do something to show he was appreciating whatever she was putting out. The most illiterate of any Black woman would have never slept with a man worth that much money and never get a pay day. I've never seen so many dumb women on top, under, below, criss-crossed or whatever the hell they were doing with him, not be able to get nothing. None of those woman didn't even get a bubble gum ring. How low can a WW stoop. TIGER LOW. LOL

I find it refreshing that Bill 'indulges' in the very thing that he claims to hate. Who would waste that much time, commenting and complaining, for something/someone he didn't believe in or about.
When I don't like something or someone, I don't give it/them the time of day. So either he's stupid or he really likes 'us' in a subconscious way and he is trying desperately to fight it.
I hope the latter is true, because NO ONE can be that ignorant.

These same sister's and I say it loosely have nothing but praise and justification when a BW is with a WM period!The reason tiger is in the shape he's in because of his own doing, his wife was true to him.You sistah's would have not said a word if tiger had been white. One of the reason brothers wont marry you is your double standard lying ways, when a bm is not making the money and you are, you won't have nothing to do with him. When he makes it and gets with a ww you are jealous of hell of the relationship, even though some of you sistah's lay up in ole massas bed in a minute.They should stick by the pre-nups, because it is a contract made before marriage.I have dated and married white before and now I with a black women and their is no difference in them when the lights go out or on when you hurt and embarrass any women, expose them to disease, she is going to get you period.

Bill:
You have it AZZ backwards. Seventy five percent of the American people WANT HEALTH CARE Reform. Every civilized Nation in the world offers some type of health care system for their citizens, all except America. What Insurance company is it that you own?
You are a racial wingnut. This article was about a woman that wants more than the man's net worth. She will probably get her request, simply because people like you are so upset that this black man is worth more than you.
Perhaps you need to find another job, so you can occupy what little mind that you have left.
Haven't you noticed that not very many people have responded to your ramblings? You have ran your course, you have shown your lying arrogant bigoted ideaology once too often. You would not tell the truth, and would not know it even if it introduced it's self to you. I'm sure that there is a webb site that would welcome you with open arms. Go stir the pot over there. And I leave you with one last parting comment; because if you continue with your manipulative behavior you will be placed on ignore; Obama will be your 2012 president.

Obama will not be president in 2012. He's overspending Americans hard-earned money and my generation is going to have to pay for all these expenditures. The guy acts like money grows on trees the way he spends everyone else's money. All this in addition to his socialist agenda. Obama is an islamic, non-American, pathetic excuse for a president. As far as Tiger Woods goes he should just stick to his own kind.

Well, well, well snafu. Maybe you must have forgotten all the money the two term Bush administration has spent. But I do....if you want to throw stones about money. I remember when I was able to afford my car payment and my house all at the same time. Please divert from talking about how our Commander in Chief is spending our money now. You must remember we were trillions of dollars in debt when he took office. Is he to blame for that also? He will be president again in 2012, just like you morons voted Bush in for a second term after he stole the first term from Al Gore. Idiot!!! As for Bill, there's really no need to respond to a person who actually believes that he is telling the truth, because a neurotic usually evolves into a psychotic, and poor Bill is just about there.
