Tiger Woods Wins 1st PGA Tournament Since 2013, Still Canceled

Source: WENN / WENN After five long years, Tiger Woods is a champion again. On Sunday (Sep. 23) the former first overall pick of the 2004 Chappelle Show Racial Draft finally took home a W when he ended the final day of play with a -11 under 269 in the TOUR Championship which was good enough to earn him his first tournament dub since 2013 and 80th career PGA TOUR win. The scene is insane out at East Lake. pic.twitter.com/cr6F5rCf1J — Skratch (@Skratch) September 23, 2018 It’s been a long road back to relevancy for Tiger as the last few years of his life has been marred with health issues, DUI ‘s, surgeries, and worst of all, caping for Donald Trump . Now that Tiger’s finally back in the winning column his lifelong fans are hoping the second act of Tiger Woods’ legend is coming to fruition. Don’t get it twisted though, Tiger’s still canceled as far as the culture goes. Them uppity folks that view golf the same way we view ball can celebrate this man’s legacy like a phoenix rising out of the ashes all they want, but we’ll never forget how far down Mac Daddy Santa fell into the sunken place and all the f*ckery he did to get down there. — Photo: WENN.com

Disney Slammed Because Of Its ‘Eurocentric’ Version Of Princess Tiana

P rincess Tiana first made her appearance on film in 2009’s “The Princess and The Frog.” The animated character is back on screen for “Wreck It Ralph 2” and she looks distinctly different. Some have said Disney’s first Black princess looks white, which has caused backlash against the media giant. SEE ALSO: Texas Cop Shoots Unarmed Black Man For Entering His Own Truck C olor of Change slammed Disney in a petition  which read , “Princess Tiana looks nothing like her original character. She is shown here with Eurocentric features; a slimmer nose, loose curly hair and a significantly lighter skin tone than her previous depictions. This is unacceptable. Yet again, Disney made the choice to whitewash an image that represents us. They’ve totally removed and replaced Princess Tiana’s full lips, dark skin and kinky hair. By doing so, they are showing us that they don’t care about reflecting the diversity of the Black community. ” There was also tons of backlash on social media, see below: Princess Tiana is beautifully dark-skinned and she ain't Princess Tiana if she looks like somebody else. — Monecque Patterson (@momoflower34) September 20, 2018 Disney really tried to give us a light skinned, slim nosed Princess Tiana with 3A hair and all Black Twitter said was “I THINK THE FUCK NOT”. Now they’re reanimating her to bring her dark skin back and fixing her features. pic.twitter.com/GaSuKhgZzq — E-Money (@imanimlewis) September 21, 2018 I just got mad all over again that princess Tiana was a frog the whole damn movie — café con leche (@Cuff_this) September 22, 2018 And plus you ruled this as unimportant when it isn’t . White washing isn’t cool. There are a lot of black girls that look up to princess Tiana them changing here to look mixed was just wrong. Especially when black women/ girls have a lack of representative in the media. — (@dalu_xo) September 22, 2018 However, now Disney has announced they will redraw Princess Tiana. Color of Change reports, “The creation of Princess Tiana, Disney first Black princess marked a defining moment for how Black women and girls are presented in media, specifically in animated movies. After conversations with  Walt Disney Animation Studios , we’re glad they have committed to restoring Tiana to her original form for ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ to ensure authenticity.” See below: Although this might be a small win for some, it is hard to deny the power of representation for many Black and brown children. This is a perfect example of social media getting it right.
