I don't see the white ball as being the dominant one at all. It is the one that has to do all the work isn't it? All of the other balls just sit there and wait for the white one to help them into their pockets. And in a game of 8 ball isn't the 8 the big winning ball? If it was blue or green that might make someone else upset like people with blue or green hair , huh? If it was red that might piss off the indians or mexicans , right?Get real man it's just a frickin game! LMAO!

Well i think that you have some interesting thoughts,,who knows but I think the last ball was chosen to be black for the very reason the white ball is so important. The opposite of white is,,,black. SO the second most important ball ,,,,the last one is black. Also maybe they wanted black to mean death(end of game ball) The cue ball being white is a neutral thing,,,white is no color.

So you would rather have the black 8 knocking the other balls around, or a colored ball knocking white balls around. Wouldn't that still make a racist reference? How easy would it be to play trying to identify and hit balls of varying tones of gray then?
You're thinking too much.
Just concentrate on the next shot.

This is really a little overboard.....sounds like someone out of the 60's looking to make it all racial....just keep quiet and enjoy the game...for it is that just a game....my cue ball has 6 red dots on it ...what does that make it?.....enjoy the game!!! and life in general.....don't look for petty things like this to get worked up about.....take a look at Michael Richards "rant" tape and then lets both get after it and him....good luck!!.....I love the game ...my blackball never seems to go in...does that make me a racist or the ball a racist???.....Love ....Happy Thanksgiving.......oops the Turkey is white!!!.....but actually you will be eating it so that's ok...right??

yes , and soccer was invented by Mexicans , thats why the ball is black and white ........ dude its just a game , do you think the 8 ball is meant to signify a skin color ?? if that were the case why make the black ball the one that is last ??? IF IT WAS RACIST THE BLACK BALL WOULDNT EXIST, OR IT WOULD BE FIRST TO GO .......... get a clue ,

This is actually an old comedy bit from Chris Rock. His "Nat X" character from SNL went on a rant about pool. It was pretty funny. He said that he liked bowling because he liked to see the "big black ball knock down all the white pins with red necks". It was some clever writing. Happy Thanksgiving. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Case in point....I guess bowling would be racist too...against white people. One large black ball knocks down as many white pins as it can...hmmmmm.

Yeah...I take it offensive how the white ball gets to knock all the colored balls around, why can't it be the black ball???

I think The bowling quote from Chris Rock was written by Warren Hutcherson. ( Bernie Mac , Moesha , Living Single.) He used that joke in a stand-up show of his.
