Blacks are not better than whites in basketball. If that's the case then why did they lose to white argentinian and italian teams in 2004 olympics? The cultural reason for why there are more black nba players is thatbasketball is played more in the African-American community. basketball is relatively cheap to play and a court takes up lot less room compared to other team sports available in the US.
And 13.1% of the american population is african american.
Your making my point, blacks excel at sports like football and basketball, because they are accessible where they grow up. White kids have the same access to these sports, actually - it's much better for them. Blacks don't play sports like hockey, because they don't have access to it growing up. You know of any ice rinks in low income areas?
I'm not even going to get into the Olympics, if you think the fact the USA lost those games, was because they where not superior athletes....it's not even worth arguing.
Again, I'm not saying white people are not world class athletes, what I'm saying is that on average, black people are better athletes. As for blacks being 13 percent of the population, ok..... White people make up 75 percent of the population, yet over 70 percent of the top two sports are played by blacks. Whites (on average) have a much higher income than blacks, so little johnny in the suburbs has a better chance to play sports, go to training, and use products to make himself better...... Yet blacks still dominate pro/college sports, being at a disadvantage financially, socially and population wise.
