Traveling from room to room or country to country, matching up and finding practice players can lead to interesting situations.

Of the worst situations are threats to life and physical harm.

Racism does happen depending on the people in the pool hall.

What is the best way you have seen racism dealt with in a pool room?
 
I just ignore it when I get called a cracker, honky, devil, whitey, peckerwood, the man, or similar.
 
pool hall?

Have you ever looked at the N.P.R. Section on this forum ?I lost allot of respect for some regular contributors who seemingly are decent people till you get to npr section then you see the hate inside them. I've never mentioned this but you never really know what these keyboard cowboys are like till they put it out on the Web for wall to see.

Pekerwood is one of the many terms blacks use to refer to whites. My favorite is caninite. or however you spell it. Like in the bible
 
I go out of my way to make shooters from all walks of life feel comfortable in our room. I've also had some amazing conversations with some older billiard players from Vietnam and Cambodia. Now when they come in and say hello, their smile says a lot. People have a right to their pursuit of happiness and we can make it easier to achieve by being friendly.
 
I don't think this is racist, but it certainly is derrogatory. The other night I walked into the poolroom and some guy I'd never seen before hollered out, "Hey, I hear that Steamer guy likes to eat shit on bread."
I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Oh yeah. Well, I'll have you know I hate bread." :smile:
 
Just the other day I heard someone say, "whoa whitey!" While playin. Just because of the color of the cue ball. He just had to play that card. And anyone that knows me, knows I couldn't leave it alone because I am a Caucasian, Anglo-Saxon,English, Irish American. Wait, if you are American, you are just American.

If a black person approached me and said that he/she believed that I was either intellectually or in some other way inferior because I was white, rather than be "offended" or invoke some law to have him/her thrown out the building, I would simply engage him/her in conversation and try to find out where he/she was coming from.

...And if I heard a racist remark in the shape of an insult or some kind of satire, I would either laugh if it was funny/well-delivered, or shrug and dismiss it if it was unoriginal and/or tedious.

...Just the same as if it were any other type of good or bad joke.

Any black person who plays the race card any time that physical violence is not involved is just denying him or herself the chance to better understand the person making the racist remark imo.

I remember things getting ugly in the poolroom and I
ended up kicking the shit out of that ,Gay,Black Jew who was a homo
at birth and had his wee-wee cut off and become a lesbian, bleached her
skin and now she's a cracker.
We've been happily married for 8 years now:eek:

Because that's how you roll....
 
Ever notice these things tend to happen more when you're beating someone? I will generally not respond.... unless I'm sure I'm about to win, then the response is always, "Well your girl (or wife) didn't seem to mind that I was short, fat, mexican, had a bigger **** than you, or whatever... in fact she rather liked it... Or something along those lines

I've gotta stick up for NPR here....as a matter of fact, painting all of NPR
with the same brush is akin to racist thinking.
Yeah, some things are said that I don't like...but at least they can be
disputed.
The racism and prejudice that can't be combated is the hidden...
...never said, only implied.

Here is a couple NPR threads, two of many, that are a delight.

I was in a bar and about to win a game when I said "I'm gonna hit blackie...."

That was the last thing I remembered. I was about to hit the 8 ball in the corner and was gonna say "I'm gonna hit blackie in that corner" ... but I guess I never managed to finish my statement.

Oh well, crap happens.
 
I have noticed that you hear more racist comments in the pool room then in other places.This is especially true with seasoned pool room gamblers.I normally would not see the humor in it but somehow it just works in the pool room.There is a certain flavor to the humor with these guys and it would not serve one well to be indignant about it.

I even get caught up in it sometimes and I do not even joke about race in any other setting.

There are other subjects that seam to come up all to frequently as well that you wouldn't expect to hear in a social or public setting.Basically its a test to see who can keep their composure the best IMO.
