Uh... Everyone? How often do you hear people refer to Indians as "black"?

So what Jamaican people or Australian Aborigines aren't black?


Jamaicans (dark ones) are of African desecent. So yeah, black isn't a stretch there.

Ya, they "rebel" into lawyer-dom as well.

If you ever go to India, you will see why that is the case here. You are in the very top percentile in that country if you can afford an airplane ticket out of the country. We're getting their most intelligent and affluent.

Black implies African-American or African.


Only to retard Americans. Across the globe people with dark skin are considered black. It has nothing to do with hair texture or facial features.

I was only speaking from American perspective. The OP asked for the best black golfer besides Tiger Woods. I wouldn't consider Vijay Singh "black".

By all means, call an Indian fella black and see how it goes over.

I thought Vijay was black, but I've already been corrected many time
I dk why you would assume I was referring to exclusively African Americans when I said Vijay and also said there was probably some European guys I didn't know

I was wondering how long it was going to take.

On a more serious note, I would rank them Sifford, Peete, Elder, & Thorpe.

I don't think Tiger classifies himself as black

So Calvin Peete is the best ever

I'm gonna say Tiger is disqualified from being black.

Why you ask? Because I fricking said so.












Seriously though, he is half black, has no street cred with black people, went to Stanford, plays golf better than anyone, and looks totally asian sometimes.


Yes, that was racist.

Also not sure he calls himself black. Sooo theres that...

Tiger has skin that would definitely be classified as "black"

Does he?

I was invited to do a PGA conference call type thing once. Years ago. I asked why tiger had never played Memphis or New Orleans since they were the two highest African American populations with a PGA tour stop.

I was promptly disconnected and never invited back.
