Watching the NCAA tournament games, I have noticed that the few white
players participating in the games are not allowed by the officials to
play tough, aggressive defense. Time and time again, some black player
drives to the basket and a hapless white big man will stand there with
his arms up, clearly afraid to go all out to stop him, yet still be
called for a foul by the referee. This happened a few years ago in the
NBA playoffs during the Minnesota-Lakers series. Wally Szerbiak was
called for a key foul late in the game, without even being close to the
player in question (Kobe Bryant, who as a black superstar can garner
fouls like this constantly). It was so ridiculous that the announcers
actually protested it, and Charles Barkley really criticized it during
the post-game show. This, combined with the fact that all blacks are
allowed to get away with lots of contact, including the Shaq special
(elbows thrown out viciously, often connecting to the defender unwise
enough to be within that space, yet no foul called even when he goes
flying down hard to the floor), goes a long way towards explainiing the
timidity on defense that so many white American players possess on the
court.
If one remembers the 1960s, when blacks first started to dominate in
the NBA, there were numerous interracial fights resulting from the
street-ball credo that physical contact-including fllying elbows to the
face-are just part of the game. In those days, white players had not
been brainwashed and naturally objected to this illegal style of
defense (or offense, in the case of so many big men, now perfected by
Shaq). Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used to get in fights all the time, and
always with a white player. There was an article by white-hating Tony
Kornheiser about this several years ago, where Jabbar freely admitted
that he liked to fight whites during his playing days, and that this
mentality came from the streets. Kornheiser was, not surprisingly,
sympathetic to this ignorant and twisted way of thinking. That's the
problem every white basketball player encounters now; if you attempt to
play by the rules, you will get crushed, because the black players are
playing by their own street-ball rules, and the officials are allowing
them to do it. On the other hand, if you attempt to play the
aggressive, hands-on defense that street-ball permits, the officials
will call fouls on you if you're white. In many ways, white players
simply can't win.
