baseballs, soccer balls, hand balls, golf balls, ping pong balls, earth balls,<br />
hockey pucks, etc. <strong>The</strong>se symbolic ball games have a highly impo~t<br />
role <strong>to</strong> play at <strong>the</strong> unconscious level, infonning all white males especially<br />
_but also females - <strong>to</strong> keep <strong>the</strong>ir attention and <strong>the</strong>ir eyes constantly fixed<br />
on <strong>the</strong> balls as a matter of life and death.<br />
<strong>The</strong> high level anxiety and fear assoCiated with <strong>the</strong> continuous threat<br />
<strong>to</strong> white genetic survival must be played out symbolically through.<strong>the</strong><br />
numerous fonns of "ball games." Ali of <strong>the</strong>se games are played mamly<br />
by men are centered on who has <strong>the</strong> ball and are concerned with who<br />
fmally ~ontrols <strong>the</strong> ball when <strong>the</strong> game (of power) ends. ~e anxiety ~d<br />
tension that accompanies ball games is parallel <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> anxiety and tension<br />
experienced at <strong>the</strong> thought, in <strong>the</strong> white psyche, of white g~netic annihilation.<br />
Similarly, <strong>the</strong> increasing violence that accompanies ball gam.es<br />
parallels <strong>the</strong> increasing level of violence needed~ ~ain~n global w~te<br />
supremacy, as <strong>the</strong> entire non-white world seeks itS liberauon from white<br />
domination.<br />
Some of <strong>the</strong>se highly symbolic "ball games" are played with white balls<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>rs are played with colored balls, usually black or brown. Generally,<br />
<strong>the</strong> white balls are small· in size, whereas <strong>the</strong> color~ balls ar~ much<br />
larger in size, paralleling <strong>the</strong> respective genetic power m <strong>the</strong> white and<br />
colored testicles. Currently, <strong>the</strong> most popular games, those that attract<br />
most male attention, are played with big brown balls (football~ ~d<br />
basketballs). This rise in popularity of colored balls parallels <strong>the</strong> nse m<br />
power, at <strong>the</strong> global level, of <strong>the</strong> Third World or non~ white n~tions. .<br />
Also as white females demand <strong>the</strong>ir liberation from whlte males m<br />
order <strong>to</strong>, become co-equals in running <strong>the</strong> global system of white<br />
supremacy, <strong>the</strong>y simultaneously seek expression of this equality by participating<br />
in all of <strong>the</strong> "ball games," including football and basketball. At<br />
<strong>the</strong> same time, white females step up <strong>the</strong>ir sexual aggression <strong>to</strong>ward Bla~k<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r non-white males, greatly increasing <strong>the</strong> incidence of whlte<br />
female/Black male marriages. In <strong>the</strong>se arrangements, <strong>the</strong> white female<br />
obtains control of <strong>the</strong> Black and o<strong>the</strong>r non-white male "balls." (Nonwhite<br />
males and females are powerless under <strong>the</strong> global system of white<br />
supremacy domination.)<br />
Ball Games As Symbols<br />
A~ th~ threat <strong>to</strong> white domination and, thus, <strong>the</strong> threat <strong>to</strong> white genetic<br />
sum val mcrease at <strong>the</strong> global level, a mass hysteria develops overplaying<br />
with "~alls" until <strong>the</strong> entire society and social system is ei<strong>the</strong>r watching<br />
~r pla~ng ball g~es. It is of little wonder that violence is becoming an<br />
mcreasmgly dommant aspect of ball games when it is unders<strong>to</strong>od that<br />
behind <strong>the</strong> symbolism of <strong>the</strong> ball games is <strong>the</strong> very survival of <strong>the</strong> white<br />
race. When war is in progress, <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p priority is always <strong>the</strong> status of <strong>the</strong><br />
war. White supremacy (racism) is war against all persons classified as<br />
non-white. In <strong>the</strong> meantime, <strong>the</strong> balls are passed, hit, bounced, dribbled,<br />
batted, punted, kicked, thrown, shot, rolled, struck, driven, caught and<br />
captured <strong>to</strong> see who is <strong>the</strong> final possessor of <strong>the</strong> balls, or <strong>to</strong> see who is <strong>the</strong><br />
most agile, astute or strongest in mastering and controlling <strong>the</strong> balls.<br />
An~<strong>the</strong>r point that effectively reveals <strong>the</strong> relationship of ball games <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> white psyche and emphasizes <strong>the</strong> extent <strong>to</strong> which balls are a symbolic<br />
preoccupation is <strong>the</strong> reference in <strong>the</strong> white supremacy system/culture <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> act of sexual intercourse as "balling." <strong>The</strong> "ball" fantasy in <strong>the</strong> white<br />
psyche can best be stated as, "If <strong>the</strong> 'balls' can be controlled on <strong>the</strong> court<br />
or <strong>the</strong> playing field or through ownership, <strong>the</strong>y can also be owned and<br />
controlled in real life." It is little wonder that in contrast <strong>to</strong> Black males<br />
white males play ball games as though <strong>the</strong>y are a matter of "life and death':<br />
and not as though <strong>the</strong>y are simply <strong>to</strong> be enjoyed. When whites lose control<br />
of <strong>the</strong> balls, whiteness becomes extinct.<br />
!tis no accident that <strong>the</strong> phrase "<strong>to</strong> blackball," in <strong>the</strong> language of <strong>the</strong><br />
white supremacy culture, means <strong>to</strong> "exclude" and <strong>to</strong> have <strong>the</strong> power <strong>to</strong><br />
exclude. Similar! y, <strong>the</strong> genetic material in <strong>the</strong> Black testicles (black balls)<br />
has <strong>the</strong> power <strong>to</strong> genetically "exclude" or annihilate <strong>the</strong> recessive genetic<br />
material in <strong>the</strong> white testicles. Hence, "one drop of Black blood (Black<br />
genetic material) makes you Black," a highly familiar expression in <strong>the</strong><br />
white supremacy culture.<br />
Specific Ball Games<br />
Close examination of specific phenomena in ball games that are<br />
~pular in <strong>the</strong> white supremacy culture will support <strong>the</strong> preceding discus<br />
