The Black Beast: December 2011

About the Black Beast title

A blog on racism in professional and college Sports...Beast, animal, and the like were the first names our ancestors were given out of their own name by the slavers. This dehumanized them and set the stage for the entire enlavement process. It was objectification. Today, adult black men who play professional sport are referred to as beasts (and required to be more athletic than their professional white counter parts who are only required to be some what athletic and intelligent so that better black athletes are cut and more white ones are given large sums of money to be professional(as if black athletes do not demonstrate intelligence) which would not happen if all athletes were equally appraised. But more white athletes is a requirement by white coaches, white owners, white ruled leagues who realize that white children look up to, even idolize these men in uniform and that role can never fall to the Black Beast alone. Moreover the self identity of the white male is at stake, for the white male must be able to compete. (The white male must!) This beastly objectification harkens back to the day of the slaver when our ancestor was nothing more than muscle to do their bidding. Here in this blog, The Black Beast is loosed to take back humanity, to demand treatment as a human being, more than muscle and sinew bid to win or loose for white males.Here in this space, it's the Black Beast walkin' down every iota of racism and vindicating all uses of the race card against those who created it.

NY Giants Jean Piere Paul 2011 Black Beast of NFL Week 14

You saw this young brother right? 1 sack for a safety, 1 sack splitting a double team, and of course Multiple hurries. He was just a load which Collingsworth couldn't stop complimenting on Thursday night football. If this had been Clay Matthews the spotter would've given him 3 sacks off top. You already know.
No matter. We know! They couldn't take away the blocked field goal to save save the game. Congrats big number 90 you are the black beast of the week!!!!

James Harrison Black Beast of 2011 NFL Week 13

This was a serious wow of a game 3 sacks, 3 official QB hits, but the pressures were endless. This Cat had the QB running all afternoon and when they ran at him he consistently shut down the end by jacking his man. Just a dominating Black Beast game. Bar none. Period.

Chris Beanie Wells Black Beast NFL Week 12

Chris OJ Anderson Beanie Wells huge knee brace and all

This brother put in old fashioned Black Beast work running like shades of OJ Anderson of Cardinal and Giant fame this brother went 27 for 228 with a TD. No he wasn't the fast cat, and no he wasn't the quickest brother, but he kept leaving the game in obvious pain, went back to the bench and they tightened up that big ole 1970s knee brace and he came back and did his thing. Again and again. And the running...wow. tough hard running. Period. The only thing he was missing was the OJ Anderson wind up!!! I so enjoyed this performance that I watched it twice. Oh and did I tell you it was a Cardinal record performance. Yes indeed!!! I was so hyped after it I screamed Holla at Ya Boy!!!

Roddy White Black Beast of the 2011 NFL Week 11

I know I've been remiss, but I'm back. And without hesitation lets give this Black Beast his due. I don't have a formula for my choice. I just give the award to the cat who pops right out at me usually he's playing faster with more tenacity or its some record which can not be denied.

This week it was Roddy White. Every time I turned around in the Falcon's win it was him catching the ball. Every Drive they scored in. Roddy was there. They couldn't hold him and I don't remember him dropping a single pass and precious few other Falcons caught more than a few. As the Falcons moved in for the final and Roddy plucked a dart out the air for about 20, I knew he had done it. 10 catches for 120 with 1 TD, and he was the Black Beast of the week.Congrats big brotha! I got my eye on you and you are my Black Beast of the week!

For The Record

I give little to no love to any one other than Brothers in this space, even if I love them, because these other ballers have ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CNN, Network TV NFL Network and its Media Machine, The AP, UPI, Every Corporate Sponsor, TV announcers and so called experts trumpeting average or merely above average exploits daily to the detriment of Black men (and women in other sports)who routinely do the incredible in front of the either purposefully ignorant or the uninformed as an entire society ignores these feats in large part due to the previously mentioned Media Outlets, Corporations, TV announcers and experts own often intentional or unintentional racism .

The Big Picture: Why we should care about Racism in Pro Sports

Statement:

I can't sympathize with pro athletes .. A sharecropper is one step away from a slave.. The differene between a SLAVE and a Pro Athletic(sic) is at minimum 5 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!! Plzzz..

Answer:

NO. You can not, must not be jealous of what one has. Wealth given in abundance must be shared equally. It is a difficult spiritual lesson but it is truth...Just because the numbers are larger does not mean there is no discrimination. To do otherwise is simply to objectify those individuals, yet again. No one asks for sympathy, what is sought is equal treatment. Allow them to be treated unequally and this attitude only "trickles down" to every strata of society. Your boss who accepts it as fine that there is inequality in NFL contracts, lets say, will only believe the same is fine in your contract...Unnerstand?
