Cheyenne Woods: A Chip Off The Old Uncle (Tiger Woods) — Updated x2

Hats off!

Tiger is an only child but his beautiful golf sensation,  first cousin Cheyenne Woods–makes up for the sister he never had.

In this morning’s drive to work  I was listenting to the  radio — NPR

biracial?

 buzz was about Miss Cheyenne Woods who received a scholarship to Wake Forest for golf. Cheyenne is the niece of the larger-than life Tiger Woods.

She is a beautiful biracial young lady. Her mom Susan Woods, now divorced from her dad (who is Earl Woods, Jr. half brother to Tiger). They look like brother and sister, mostly because of the sibling nexus, thus their children would ten to look more alike and like the adults as well.

So, I thought I would do a short blog about multi-ethnicity and multi-raciality vs. biracial blacks. Because of miscegenation in this country — black does not look like black.

My interest was piqued when I saw her photo. She resembles my daughter and other women in my family. We are not biracial, but Creole, but black. My first cousin, Jen, just joined us on facebook, as another example. She is not biracial, smile is real, blue eyes are real, hair is real. Just noticed the uncanny resemblance between my cousin’s photo and Cheyenne’s photo.

I have also included a photo of my 1st cousin’s daughter (she is not biracial, but has mixed blood racially), compared to her white friends.

The old “one-drop” rule still holds even if you are a celebrity/star. So the Woods of the world are not less black than Obama because they are also famous. As my Web search went on I found that I  could not find out what she was exactly, so I wrote my own “ABOUT” Cheyenne Woods ethnicity. There was a dearth of photos except a few of Cheyenne.

Her mom is white, no doubt. Her dad is Earl Woods Jr. who is Tiger’s half brother. (Note in the eyes of the law there is no such thing as half this or that.)  He is African-American and all that entails with race and mixed blood. Even though she and Tiger have the gold golf thing in common they have different races that are not in common. She is half white, Tiger is not. But since they have paternal side in common, they look alike, like brothers and sisters.

But the father’s side, or the father’s DNA dominates in the gene pool as far as the facial features are concerned.  From my many observations I found for example that if the dad is black the child will look more black, if the dad is white the child will look more white and so on.

However,  I had a hard time searching for her race/ethnicity. But from what I could search it seems that she is officially biracial. She does resemble Tiger but looks more white/creole than he does. Tiger looks black to me, period, but we know he is biracial.  How is he biracial?

And why he has come up with all these monikers for himself is beyond the anthropologist in me. He is black, Asian and insecure.  And the native American part?  Please, Negro, most whites, higher percentage than blacks, are 20-50% native American, only you “canardly” tell. Many blacks “think” they are half or part Cherokee and Tiger might well be, but the genes don’t bear this out. I know my grandmother (paternal) was and she had the long hair she wore in a ponytail, and fair skin to prove it. What do most blacks have who claim to be “Indian” not sure, except for their rhetoric about it.

IMO Tiger should have left it at biracial and then shut up. He has, to his credit,  ensured that his children are more white-looking by marrying a very white Swede. His kids look a lot like Halle Berry’s daughter.

Anyway, Cheyenne is an up and coming golfer who is quiet about being a chip off the old wood’s block.

Cheyenne’s cache — she can cash in her celebrity later on for a role or a part on one some TV series.

White Shirt — My MJ collar-up look

White Shirt -- collar up

Note the hair, nose, face and features are real. No plastic surgery for that gal. Yes I do look like MJ at one point through his surgeries. And though I am technically not biracial my 3 races and 6 ethnic groups mix– place me at about 60 percent white.
That includes a smaller percentage of actual Anglo-Saxon blood. As a nurse once quipped to me “you look just like my cousin who is half Irish and Italian (Sicilian maybe). Them’s the racial breaks.

Anyhow, I just learned that prof. Melissa Lacewell Harris, a frequent guest on Jewish Rachel Maddow’s show, is often called upon to speak to all things black–is in fact herself biracial. Not a bad thing, just sayin’. But she looks like a typical pretty black girl from Chatham (Chicago’s black mecca) where I grew up.

That’s why I can spot a black American from an African instantly. Even the Ethiopians who are racially mixed don’t look like us. They look just, well, like each other. I digress. Race fascinates.

Heloise talks to Goldwag (my comment)

Good article Goldwag. If you visited my site you know that I am obsessed with Jews–just kidding. But seriously, I do study their culture intensely. I read your review but I did not want to leave and log on at Boing, so I thought I would leave a comment here.

After reading your article and looking a bit into Dan Brown’s past life, which strikes a strong cord with Dante, I now have one rare regret–that I did not query the many masons I have known in this life.

I was a Satsangi for nearly 30 years and found that my guru, out of Beas, India attracted Masons like flies. Unbelievable how many I have known. However, I never asked them about their science and they never offered any insights either.

We were all happy initiates of Maharaji. We knew that light and sound was the highest rung of the ladder. As such as a group found it unnecessary to talk about “other” belief systems. Based on their need not to share the Mason thing with us…it makes me think that their satisfaction with following an Eastern guru was enough. That leads me to a daring conclusion: they really didn’t know a damn thing!

However, they knew enough to follow the spiritual law of having a guru in the flesh. This is what leeches like Ray are hoping for. Sant Mat teaches that those who mislead people and don the guru turban under false pretense will come back in a very low form of animal life. Too late! LOL

But one thing I have no respect for that Ray guy. Why? He is the biggest charleton that Oprah has ever endorsed…bar none. The Secret the worse piece of crap I’ve ever seen or read (I did not purchase any of it) but did check it out.

Much like the Secret, and the group (not sure what it’s called) some people joined after reading that dreadfully ripoff– it’s a social organ and you pay to play.

The “esoteric” works of Dan Brown have left him rich. He has inflated his own bank account by virtue of his books. But I chalk it all up to karma from his life as Dante (as he appears to my investigation). So, let him have his say.

I am going to post my comment and a link to your blog too.
