You did ask how many Black players are playing today. You seem to want to ignore the history of the game. You assumed that the players would be playing, if they were capable of playing, as if no other barriers existed except the will to learn, play, Win, and get Paid.

There is no discrimination or racism, the World is perfect, and America doesn’t need to make any changes. You actually described Golf, as if it is a welcoming Sport! Wow. Yes, Baseball has less American Black players than when Mays and Aaron played. The majority of players of color in Baseball...

Who cares that you don’t Care??

You-“I have some Black Friends “!

You may have been seeing players like you play Golf, but what you don’t seem to understand is, you had a CHOICE as to whether you wanted to pursue Golf! Are you too ignorant or blind to see the difference? You can’t be serious! Wilt Chamberlain, Reggie Jackson, and Bill Russell, couldn’t go into...

You probably need to learn how to spell, while you’re passing racist ass comments around. Weather is referring to the temperatures and forecast, whether is the word that you were TRYING to use in your sentence! You want to conveniently ignore racism, but you don’t know the difference between...

What held Cisero Murphy back, after winning a Straight Pool tournament at 16 years old, and winning the New York Straight Pool Championship six straight times, Genius? Did he hold himself back, or did the system hold him back?? Did the White players protest on Cisero Murphy’s behalf, you Racist...

From the comments, some of which seem to come from Archie Bunker!

Your ignorance, and America’s ignorance and Bigotry is incredible. Race is a Social, Cultural, and Psychological, construct, it has nothing to do with Intellect, Learning ability, or talent. It predicts ability to absorb the Rays of the Sun, and the resistance to catching Sickle Cell Amenia...

The only sports that younger Black athletes and Competitors have as a Inspiration goal, major sports-wise, is Baseball (fading attempts to attract African Americans across the country), Football, and Basketball, sports that they can see someone who looks like them. Racing, Golf, Hockey, and...

Many, probably most, Black Children have been self-taught from their Friends, or Schoolmates, unless someone that Shoots or Hangs at the Poolroom took a notice or interest in us, or saw Talent or potential, and helped Teach us the game as they did for me. I couldn't get into the Poolroom, three...

Having to mention several Great Black Players, highlights the issue and problem, Black Players didn't have equal chances , but knew that they could Pay. If anyone came to The Rack, just outside of Detroit, White Champions and Hustlers from everywhere could get Top Action, at Big Numbers, from...

I was referring to Pool overall, Josh Roberts was just mentioned as a recent, obvious, choice of a Player who is more talented and a better overall Player than several recent picks for the U.S. Mosconi Team, and recent years have shown us that the World has surpassed America for DEVELOPED...

Josh Robert’s, for one, is a better player than several other picks in the last few years. However, it’s typical and expected, just as the losses are to other countries, around the world. Years ago, as great as the American players were, as soon as competition started to come to America from...

Black Players didn't have any National Heroes to cheer for in the Game, so we worshipped Mosconi, Greenleaf, Fats, Hoppe, Cuelemans, Sigel, Mizerak, Earl, Buddy, etc.. However, being a Lefty, I adored the Games of Cranfield, DeOro, Sigel( Right-Handed but Shot left like his Teacher did!)...

On the WorldStage, the Other Countries and Nations, absolutely destroy America in Top Pool competition, because America isn't interested in putting their best Team on the Felt, America is interested in winning with their Selected, Restricted, Choices, and America, for the most part, isn't even...

The opportunities or few and far between, especially for any type of sponsorship. How many Black Senators, Male or Female, Senators do you see? Most White Players don't think that Black Players have enough natural Talent to play World-Class Pool!! Most parents hated Pool because of its...

Eddie Taylor was perhaps he best Bank Shot Artist overland the only game that the Experts picked Taylor over Worst in playing. Some say that in One-Pocket or Banks, Bugs was fearless like no other. I'm asking for Expert opinions, since I saw Bugs play in Detroit, especially before his health...

I heard John McHenry(Bug's Road Manager) say that Bugs wanted to play Eddie Taylor in One-Pocket, and Eddie taylor declined the action. They also said the harold worst offered everybody Action at The Johnston City All-Around tournaments, and Eddie, and nearly everyone else turned Worst down, and...
