(10,602 posts)We simply do not know all the circumstances of the Tiger situation and what he was doing and what he did before his arrest. I am not ready to convict him yet. If he was having serious pain issues and was on drugs it could have been a factor. Certainly he could have a drinking problem but he jury is still out on that issue.
In contrast a GOP candidate commits felony assault and is applauded by his supporters and even some others. Then you look at Hastert who was a serial sexual predator his entire life and he was Speaker of the House. It just seems that there is no justice.
Grants Tiger likely screwed up, but he will be treated differently because he is black despite the fact of his fame. A lot ob people resent his past success and are happy to see him go down.
You just get sick of the double standards in our society. Republicans seem to get away with so much. Now we are stuck with Trump and family and a supportive GOP that have made racism, hate, violence and lying a new norm which is far beyond normal at all. What they are is evil, deadly and destructive. And not one labels them for what they really are.
