The Isis Papers
Ball Games As Symbols
In this regard, it is not surprising that large nwnbers of white females
hang around Black basketball and football players and that these Black
males often are trapped into sexual involvement by these white females.
The Black male ball players, in turn, also are conditioned under white
supremacy domination to want to place brown balls in white nets (white
vaginal orifices) as a mark of supposed true Black manhood, since Black
males refer to white males as "The Man." In placing brown balls in white
nets and between white goal posts, the Black males in fantasy become
"The Man."
Hockey, a sport that Black men are not allowed to play in the white
supremacy culture, also consists of attempting to place a round black
object (the hockey puck) into a white net opening (symbolic of the white
vaginal orifice). The object that is used to place the black puck in the
opening is a long colored stick (symbolic of the black phallus). White
males, fight ferociously among themselves to get the black round object
in the white net opening (as a test of their strength or their manhood).
Apparently, for the white male psyche, it is anathema to have to compete
with a Black male (the possessor of real black balls and stick) in this
challenge: controlling a black ball and a black stick and getting the black
object into the symbolic white net opening on the white ice field.
Soccer, or European football, traditionally is played with a white ball,
smaller than the large brown football and basketball. This sport is less
popular in the United States, but it is very popular in Central and South
America. The white soccer ball is not to be touched with the hands; it is
knocked and kicked. The kicking of the white ball becomes a very violent
and vicious activity. Again, however, the greatest player, the master of
the large white ball, turned out to be the Black Brazilian, Pele, who
married a white female. The owners of the professional soccer teams also
remain white, of course.
Another popular ball game played with a smaller white ball is baseball.
Baseball was the great all-time American (a.k.a., white) sport until a Black
man, Hank Aaron, became the world's greatest hitter (controller) of that
white ball, hitting it with a brown or black bat. It is little wonder that as
he moved ever closer to taking the title of control away from the white
Babe Ruth, Aaron began to receive letters from white people threatening
his life. This behavior remains incomprehensible (after all, it's only a
game!) unless one is aware that the white ball is symbolic of the white
testicles that a Black man had knocked out of the ball park. The Black
man, in this manner, controls the symbolic small white testicles. This is
not psychologically tolerable in the white supremacy culture - as it
represents white genetic annihilation for which whites traditionally have
killed to prevent.
This unconscious response to non-whites controlling white balls
clarifies the reason that a couple of years ago the American Little League
Team (white), which consistently was being beaten by non-white children
in Taiwan~ was prevented from competing further with these non-white
children. And now the American children are prohibited from playing
with the Taiwanese teams. White male children must not be confronted
(in the white supremacy culture) with non-white children controlling
white balls (testicles). Such a continuing experience is totally inconsistent
with the optimal development of the white supremacy psyche, as well as
with the white male's survival need to control all of the "balls" on the
planet Earth.
Next smaller in diameter in the "white ball" series is the tennis ball.
To date, there has been only one Black male world champion controller
of that small white ball- Arthur Ashe, although amongst Blacks, Althea
Gibson became a master of the white ball before Ashe. Is it only a
coincidence that when Ashe began to play tennis with champion force,
the game then allowed the introduction of colored tennis balls in major
tournaments? A Black male is just not supposed to bat a small white ball
into total submission. Ashe became the number one world tennis champion
in 1975, but he did not sustain that position in 1976. Ashe has been
quoted as saying that he does not play just "to win," but for the enjoyment
of the sport. This attitude is in stark contrast to that of Jimmy Conners
(white), who has stated that he plays only to win and has described his
approach to the game as a killer instinct. I can imagine the psychological
pressure put on Arthur Ashe as long as he remained in the position of
champion controlling the small white tennis "balls." I am certain that he
