Why are blacks genetically superior in athleticism?

[pumphard]

They can't stand us but they won't stop worshipping half-nude brothaz though.

Who's worshipping?

DumbAss thread!

agree

oh brother.

[Dballn247]

They are not superior.  Who was the greatest black hockey player of all time, oh he does'nt exist.

Seriously, you guys need to get over this racism shit.  Focus you're hate on shit that people have a choice in, like religion.  You can be born a religion but can choose to change it.  After my time in the Marines I can say "I hate have a serious dislike for muslims."

Like the war on drugs...It will go on forever until everyone stands up and talks about who is actually supplying them(which is of course the governments of the world to us sheep)...

Racisim is so strong because nobody is really supposed to talk about it...Its been programmed into us to leave it alone....Just like suicide...The people in power do not want us solving such things...They would rather have us doing what were doing...And that is labeling such people who talk about things...

rasicm is strong because people notice patterns, those patterns become stereotypes and then those stereotypes become self fufilling

.

racism is strong because nobody seems to realize that loving their heritage is the other side of hating someone elses

.

racism is strong because while not being an exact science, there is definite truth to it ... for instance it is by no means true that every black is a criminal or every muslim a terrorist or serial killer white, but if youre looking to make the most out of a traffic stop or rooting out terrorists in an airport or on the hunt for someone strangling ho's you all know where to look first

Actually about 15% of serial killers in the USA are black. They have 15% of the population, so it's about Even. In other continents you also have serial killers, it just seems that white serial killers have been documented better. (Or maybe they're just better at it.)

I do agree about the "loving your heritage" part. Why should somebody be proud cause of their skin colour?  Be proud of what you have done, not someone 200 years ago. People that are too much inlove with their own kind tend to have no self-criticism and after a while anger/hate arise towards other groups, just because they are different.

About the athletic part: i think there is a genetic basis which makes west-africans (and people from west-african descent) better at sprinting. More fast muscle fibers, higher calf insertions.
Afro-americans are imo not better than west-africans, they just have better training, food, and drugs (there never was any selective breeding, maybe a little survival of the fittest, but that's prob neglectable). Considering the average afro-american has 20-30% white genes, you could see africans dominate the sprint one time.

Whites seem to be better at sports that require an alround performance. (Strength, endurance, speed -> swimming, triathlon, mma, decathlon, strongman comps, ...). Most olympic medals are won by caucasians.

Still, it's no basis to say any race is superior than the other. Every "race" has flaws. Whites generally have a weaker back, blacks are more prone to coronary/heart disease, etc...

You don't need to go to the marines to dislike muslims!

[KevinP85]

I say make the most out of yourself and don't let race be the judgement of your shortcomings or future success.

True, however I did not have much exposure to them until the Marines.  Dirty bastards.  Every single one of the hates us.  And I don't mean white people either.  They hate the USA and all of it's people.  I've seen a black soldier get spit on (not pretty by the way) the same way I've been spit on. 

I just think racism is stupid.  Seriously to dislike someone because of the way they were born?  It would make more sense to dislike someone over a choice they made, then you could have a reason to be mad.

I'm not sure Henry VIII or Elizabeth I would agree that 'our rulers' are becoming more blunt.

Finally someone saying something logical. I am not a racist but I do despize those who, by choice or stupid plain ignorance, try to create conflits, when they cannot rule themeselves. Muslims must understand that they don't own the wolrd and that their religion must not force others to accept it. They deserve what they have.

this depends on the study you read and the definition of serial killer (v mass murderer) ... but its beside the point: if youre looking for a serial killer you still have over 3/4 chance its a white guy(in NA), ergo thats where u should look first

this is not true vince..you should know this

take the case of basketball:  a lot of inner city kids view basketball as a means of escaping poverty and thus their energies are poured into.

take the case of baseball: this sport is viewed by many latin americans as a means of escaping poverty and thus you see a large proportion of major league roster dominated by latins

sports such as tennis and golf require and lot start up cost which many "poorer" families cannot afford and thus you see it dominated by families with the means to have their kids involved

Spot right on the money...It is not nature but nurture...

look at the places where soccer is popular...places that cant afford to play nothin else...And before people bring up kenyns in long distance running...dude kenya is hella high above sea level and we all know that forces the body to create more red blood cells to carry o2 so when they face other countried in distance races (marathons) at sealevel they kick ass because of endurance...

[Wqasz]

but the problem is no one said whites invented slavery so where are you coming with this??

genetic breeding makes us superior athletes.  Thank your white ass slave owning forefathers for that

Guess you missed the first few pages of this topic. My comment had nothing to do with the invention of slavery but just a history lesson of how the process came about. Your next post is frightening.

Why should they have gone back and not reap the rewards of the free labor they provided not to mention the fact that many fought and died in the Revolutionary war. And you can't go BACK to a place you have never been to in the first place. They were Americans (born here) even though it would take another 100 years or so to get things almost equal. Furthermore, it was the Black American's struggle against Jim Crow laws and segregation which made the American idea of Freedom For All an accual reality - you can't go around talking about Iraqi freedom if everyone here isn't free!!!

So your trying to say that in another hundred years the African Americans will finally stop dropping the slavery card on the CURRENT Anglo Americans? I seem to always ponder if in the year 2070 will the CURRENT Anglo Americans still carry the blame and burden for slavery that happened centuries ago.

The Hebrews ,thats the Jewish for those whom don't know, were slaves for thousands of years wonder who they point the finger at.

[warrior_code]

We all came from the same primate not to long ago which makes me personally feel that humans have not been around long enough for us to develop such drastic differences as suggested by some people in this topic.  I believe it is largely a social construction.

agreed,  this also helps explain why 3rd world countries will barring a huge upset always be better at soccer.

Just as our rulers continue becoming more blunt in their manners, maybe mainstream science will stop feeling tactful about this true stereotype and start just studying blacks to find out what makes them run so good.

Dibs on any results from the research go to the military, of course.

They got that extra muscle in their calves.

[tu_holmes]

It's not an extra muscle anywhere, but their thigh muscle is generally longer than the average cracka.

[willie mosconi]

I agree.  Science needs to stop being politically correct and just accept the facts.  If blacks and whites are different for whatever reason, let's just acknowledge it.  That doesn't mean we are racist, just accepting of the truth.

the problem is that race is not a scientific concept- it is a social construct
