Tiger Woods: Hyper-sexualization

I have been reading many articles online hoping to find one that related to one of my interests.  One that caught my eye was the hyper-sexualization of black men referring to one of my favorite golfers, Tiger Woods.  The article was interesting in a sense that everything revolved around the white culture.  No matter what your heritage may be, the public eye sees you as a minority if it is part of your heritage. What he did was wrong, but how the media exploded into his personal life may not have been the best way to handle that situation.  Check out the article and see what you think.
