Nooooooo shoutout to Arnold Palmer

He was probably racist back in the day but the ice tea with the sausage egg and cheese from the corner store was the excellent hood meal for $2.50

Kinda mixed on this one. Now he was DEFINITELY from "That era" if you know what I mean. Was he a hater ( against minorities) in golf? Or did he stayed neutral? It's hard for me to acknowledge a hater no matter what the issue is. I'll call Popz on this one.
 
No love lost here. Popz and the 65+ cats who've golfed just gave me the word on him. Good riddance. Held a lot of blacks and me icons back in those days and even had the rules changed to prevent them from competing. You ever see him and Tiger hold a conversation? You ever see him talk with Earl woods? Guy was a good ol' boy bigot. They dying off but a new generation of bigots grabbed the baton.

Fun Fact: His family held some of my family in slavery. They even carried the slave name Palmer before changing it.

You can literally Google hundreds of pictures of Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods together not to mention one of his kids is named after...Arnold Palmer. And why would Palmer need to talk to Earl Woods...is he supposed to hold conversations with every player's dad??? But I guess your "pops" knows better than Tiger himself.
