CALL EM OUT: BILLY PAYNE
While Tiger Woods has self-admittedly made some personal mistakes, Roland says the game of golf and Augusta National Golf Club president Billy Payne should be the ones who feel ashamed.

Thank You!
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
That was some real BS right there. It irked the hell out of me all week.
Tiger’s job is to play good golf and all the extra crap has nothing to do with his ability or talent. Oh ,I wanted to pimp slap that self righteous hypocrite!
Thank you for pimp slapping him the politically correct way! Lol
Loved your comment Mr. Martin! While Tiger Woods brought this attention upon himself, for Mr. Payne to throw stones at him when his own club has committed sins just as bad it hypocritical! Tiger, at least, admitted he was wrong (though to me he owes NO ONE, myself included, an apology except his wife and kids). I have yet to hear anything from the Augusta club which has only recently allowed non-white members but STILL don’t allow females of any race in!
CORRECTED VERSION OF PREVIOUS COMMENT: Loved your comment Mr. Martin! While Tiger Woods brought this attention upon himself, for Mr. Payne to throw stones at him when his own club has committed sins just as bad iS hypocritical!
Tiger, at least, admitted he was wrong (though to me he owes NO ONE, myself included, an apology except his wife and kids). I have yet to hear any SUCH apology for the years that Augusta wouldn’t admit any black or other non-white race into their club! The Augusta club has only recently allowed non-white members in the past few years but STILL don’t allow females of any race in!
Furthermore, like it or not, Tiger Woods is your best draw Mr. Payne! With due respect to the other golfers, no one gets the ratings like Tiger Woods does! Not really a fan (even before this scandal came out) but the facts are the facts. Most people, even the haters, watch to see Tiger Woods. Deal with it Mr. Payne!
I’m grateful to hear you confront this so called Billy Payne “Augusta National State of the Union Address”. What a laugh! I don’t know if there was any other nationally known African American figure such as yourself was bold enough to tackle this head on. I’m the founder of the African American Golf Foundation (AAGF), a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote diversity in golf by creating quality opportunities for African Americans and underserved persons to learn, play, and enjoy the game. AAGF was established in Atlanta GA. in 1987. I have written Augusta National seeking their support without a reply. AAGF was interviewed by the British Broadcasting Corporation along with Martha Burk and State Senator James Clyburn in 2002. Again, thank you!
If Tiger was such a disgrace, why did he invite Tiger to the Masters’? Here’s why: before Tiger there were only 3 millionaires in golf…after Tiger,21 millionaires & counting…Before Tiger’s hiatus, golf’s highest TV ratings…During the hiatus, a double-digit drop…After Tiger’s return ratings are thru the roof!!! Payne in the @ss!!!
The Nike Air Max Air Tailwind dropped this weekend at House of Hoops locations in three bright colors: red, yellow and blue. The performance support system found in the upper of the original Air Tuned Max models put a lifestyle twist on performance models, and it has been applied to several Nike Basketball shoes including the Air B Huarache. Individual shots of the pack after the jump.
Mr. Martain, please ask the question, “Why is Dick Chaney suddenly quiet on matters pertaining to the “Nation’s” security, i. e. the gulf coast oil spill? Does is silence suggest his involvement with making deals with the oil companies. It is rather distrubing that those who shout deregulations, now are angry the goventment is not regulating.

I am callen out on The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. My name is Daisy Wheatley and I work there. This place is a government building ,and is being ran like a plantation. I know alot about black history, but to actually see it still going on is beyond me. People at CMS treat African Americans like they have masters to work that they work for. These African Americans have degrees and have knowledge of their jobs that they are performing. At cms there are husbands, wifves, children, aunts, uncles, in-laws that works there. They do not all have degrees and they move up the ladder, and they hold back african americans. It is not fair and something needs to be do, so I am callen out for help to get this air on your show.
Thanks
