Kelly Tilghman suspended over remarks on Tiger woods

so finally Kelly Tilghman was given some suspension for her racist remarks regardling Tiger woods. she said that in order for other golfers especially younger ones to keep up with Tiger Woods that they should take Tiger to a back alley and lynch Him. I call that directly Racist and loaded but no shocking or surprising unless you truly believe that this country is making changes. I mean we have a Black Man running for President and you have a Commentator making remarks like this on the Golf Channel just last friday? it tells me that 2008 isn't much different in mind set than 1908. I refuse to defend or give this Woman a pass for a heat of the moment type of comment. it was in her from the word jump. the bigger picture at hand is that alot of these Country CLubs were Golfers play are racist to the Bone and don't have a Answer for the Dominance that is Tiger Woods. Woods stays classy,but He has had to deal with racist remarks since day one. fuzzy Zeller and his loaded remarks. now i always say and feel if you don't like somebody because of there race or being than just say it,but don't come back with a 15 minute letter saying Oh I slipped and I didn't mean quite like that. when you say Lynch and a Black Person is mentioned in the same context it can only mean one thing. Kelly Tilghman felt privledged to say what she wanted and many people of her mind-set will just pass this off until somebody else says something else. it's very troubling and sad. Tiger woods has changed the culture of golf but he is still seen as a Black Man in unwanted territory.
