Hey peeps,
I spent the week in NYC finishing up the filming for our MSNBC.com special. It was grueling, but fun and interesting, the only time I’ve ever actually auditioned for a film and had to study a script to prepare for a production. Also, I spent three hours in the studio with Rev. Al Sharpton yesterday, and we received a surprise call from NY Governor David Paterson. I must say that I respect David Paterson tremendously, in spite of what the general public might think. Finally, I’ll be shooting my AOL show this week in New York. If you have good topic or guest ideas, please let me know.
Until then, stay strong, be blessed and always do the right thing.
Sincerely,
Dr. Boyce

Tiger Woods and Obama are Mixed Race Americans: Why Do We Give Them Such a Hard Time About It?
by Dr. Boyce Watkins – TheLoop21.com
Tiger Woods and I have very different tastes in women: He likes stick figures with blonde hair, and I like curvy, intelligent women with brown skin. But I’ve never attacked Tiger for his preferences, for that’s just a part of who he is.
There a lot of people who feel differently from me when judging Tiger’s marriage preferences and racial identity. While I know quite a few brothers who respect Tiger for his game on the course, I know even more black women who wouldn’t care if Tiger dove face-first in a pit of molten lava. They’ve always despised Tiger’s lack of interest in black women. In fact, Tiger didn’t even have a black mistress, which might be an even greater insult to some.
The most ridiculous things I’ve heard come from those who truly believe that if Tiger Woods had been cheating with black women, they would never have gone public on him. I’m sorry, but a porn star is a porn star, and they all have sex for money. The mistresses were going to get paid regardless, whether you’re talking about a seductress from Beverly Hills or a stripper in Atlanta, Georgia. They all want their money, so Tiger’s biggest mistake was choosing the wrong kind of women to spend his time with. Strippers and porn stars don’t hang out with ballers for nothing.
