Blacks don't have equal opportunities..?How so..?
Don't feed the animals. That nimrod belongs in the NPR zoo. Some of these butthurt wokes get all pissy if you say ' i don't care' when it comes to this shit. Well, i don't. I don't see pool(or any other game/sport) as some racially charged sociology experiment. It is what it is. There just aren't many black players just like only about 7% of MLB players are black. Why?? Don't know and don't really give a fk. This whole dumpster-fire of a thread belongs in NPR. Or better yet the trash.
Not because you say so, you can go in the trash with it. Your views aren’t more important than anyone else’s, but facts are true, and Pool has a past that definitely looked at Color and Race. They called it “The Filipino Invasion” when Patrica and Efren came to America, and changed the game forever. If Pool was Color-blend, what did The Filipino players invade, Genius?
I’m not an Animal, Asshole. It’s obvious that you are uncomfortable discussing matters of Race, but keep your ignorant, racist, regencies, to your Damn self, Neanderthal Knuckle-dragger. I don’t need your permission to give my opinion, I spoke about the subject at hand, giving my opinions, but I never called you out of your name, Idiot. Can’t you discuss Pool, without insulting others when you have different opinions? Where did you go to school? Have you ever heard of a Debate?
You, calling the Award winning NPR as being a Zoo, says everything about you. You have something against NPR, evidently they are too liberal for you, but you do realize that NPR is among the most popular radio programs in the country, with a network of more than 1,000 public radio stations, and has corporate sponsors from all over the country, right.? I bet you think that they are stupid, but YOU’RE SMART, huh? Stick to Pool, please, you’re too ignorant and uninformed to be criticizing the Network that has 54% being college graduates, and 21% having some college, and was voted the most trusted news source in the United States. You bashed NPR twice, during a Pool conversation! You, Idiot.
Mysteriously to you, Black players grew up idolizing Mosconi, Hoppe, Greenleaf, Buddy, Siegel, Strickland, and others, like Bugs, Rags, Strawberry, and more, but we didn’t say, he’s the “White Champion’, we worshipped and idolized the same players as anyone else. We just understood that if we just got the right to vote, and integrate the schools in 1965, and Cisero just got to play in his first U. S. Open in 1966, beat Balsis, Jimmy Moore, and Lassiter in Straight Pool in 1965, something had to be wrong. You, would not see it, although the players that protested for Cisero obviously did.
Who wants to tell him?
Sometimes you provide constructive and knowledgeable content, and even when you're ripping into people there's an air of humor that I enjoy reading. This is not one of those times... This level of ignorance is quite honestly gross.
Telling the truth is not Ripping into people. You need facts and truth in any meaningful conversation. It’s not my responsibility to Sugarcoat the truth, and I didn’t lie on anybody. I love Pool as much as anyone else, and I admired, followed, worshipped, and looked up to the same players that you did. The truth is, until 1966, Black players couldn’t play in the U.S. Open, and Michael Jordan, and all other Blacks, were not allowed to go to North Carolina or Duke, in the 1960’s, just like in Pool! It’s stupid, racist, and ignorant! That’s not pointing a finger at anyone on this Forum, but it’s the truth. Opportunity just wasn’t granted. That’s all, and it can’t be denied.
I didn’t ignore anything, and I have an understanding of everything that I said, and it was respectfully thought out, before I even made any statements. I was called names, racist, derogatory ones, and I know that you can’t find any comments where I called someone a slur or insulted them personally, until I was referred to as an Animal, or unintelligent. I can discuss Pool, or Argue, or pass insults, or Jokes with the best of them. I’m not a new Wallflower, bring it as you want it. I have been discussing Sports since before Mosconi vs. Fats, Mizerak vs. Siegel, or Earl vs. Efren.
The only one being uncomfortable with discussing race seems to be you as you did not answer my question.But I have another one for you: How come black people make for 14% of the population but commit 50% of the crimes?Now, relax, take a deep breath, don't insult but answer the question...
