Racial Draft = Solid Gold

An excerpt from WhiskeyRiff -

Tiger Woods’ Visit To The White House Instantly Reminded People Of Dave Chappelle’s Famous “Racial Draft” Skit

By Quinn Eaton

Tiger Woods is currently trending across all social media platforms.

Why? Well, the pro golfer was at the White House for a meeting with President Donald Trump that had the future of the game of golf in mind. The POTUS has voiced his desire to bring the PGA Tour and the LIV Tour together, or at the very least allow for some crossover between the two. So Trump met with Tiger, Adam Scott and PGA commissioner Jay Monohan. Saudi Arabia’s PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan was also rumored to be in attendance at the White House.

However, the moment that really stole the show was when President Donald Trump addressed a Black History Month Reception that was happening at the White House, and since Tiger Woods was already there, he apparently invited him to tag along. It made for quite the moment, as you can see in this photo shared by the White House:

There were also a lot of jokes that referenced Dave Chappelle’s clever and somewhat controversial “Racial Draft” sketch, which featured the comedian playing Tiger Woods and being “drafted” with the first overall pick.

Mayor Wu: Serving Double Duties

An excerpt from Steady -

More Than a Mayor

A Reason To Smile

In an attempt to remind us all that there are still elected officials out there who believe in serving their constituents and their communities, we have found a reason to smile: Michelle Wu, the mayor of Boston. And lest you think we are moving away from a musical focus, just wait.

Wu is the first woman and first person of color to hold the job. A daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, she is a self-described “pragmatic progressive.”

Her campaign website lays out her vision: “This moment is a call to action. To me, that means thinking big about how to build a more resilient, healthy, and fair Boston, and then having the courage and political will to fight for all of our families.” By most accounts, she is making good on those promises.

While doing all she can for the residents of Boston, Wu is also an accomplished musician. She started taking piano lessons at the age of four and has been playing ever since. On her first day at City Hall, she had a piano placed in her office. Wu must have found time to use it, if her performance with the Boston Pops is any measure.

Last September, Wu performed with the famed orchestra as part of Concert for the City, an free annual concert for the people of Boston.
