Is Bodybuilding becoming a Black Mans sport? Like Football and Basketball is?

[domestic goddess]

  What part of TX were you from. I know my way around The Lone Star State a little bit...

 Actually I'm from Ohio. I was in the Air Force and was stationed in San Antonio for about 3 yrs. I love Texas, lots to do, great weather and food but I can't stand the Spurs so that was the only downfall. If you were ever bored you could always hit the River Walk for fun.

 Alaska? WTF? Whats out there? What the hell is a mullato girl doing out there...HAHAHA My hubby is from Iowa and people are always like there are mexicans in iowa???

yo man a military kind of player? Fawk that...if you're ever in Chicago...hahaha...I'm easy to find. Hey...you wanna join my gang?

My man is still in the air force and this is our second time in Alaska. we met up here when I was still in we left for a few years and now we're back and it sucks.Summer is short and its light all day until about midnight than the sun sets for 3 hours and comes back up. You have to black out your windows to get some sleep.
 I might be in Chicago for New Years with some friends and we have family around there.

Without a doubt the ugliest and worst looking person to ever walk on to a bodybuilding stage by accident...

 Doesnt it look like Vince is a stinky smelly mofo? Looks like his skin would just smell like rotten pu$$y or something...

That has to be a joke. I can't believe he would actually go on stage looking like that!!! But he does sound a little "off" in his posts.

Becoming? Haney and Coleman had the record for Olympias. Vince Taylor holds the record for the most Masters Olympias. so...........

From a physical aspect, those of African heritage generally have superior genetics in comparison to those of average Caucasian descent (or any other for that matter). I don’t see how their domination comes as much of a surprise. Hell, their population was enhanced through selective breeding for many generations here in North America.

Statements like this have been condemned as racist in the past but I can assure you I am not making these in a racist manner. It’s just plain genetics. They will TAKE OVER any sport in which they choose to participate (i.e. interest). As more get interested in BB it will end up like football and basketball. Occasionally you see a mixed or African athlete dominate a traditionally white sport (Tiger, Arthur Ash). I’m just waiting for the next black hockey superstar! lol

It’s about time all the racist rednecks realize that those of black heritage will likely always have an edge in terms of athletic competition of any kind. It’s not a black and white thing, it’s a science thing. Stop worrying about it, the game is already over.

Btw, I’m white…

Arthur Ash hardly dominated tennis. You are trying real hard to prove your point but you're not succeeding. Fact is whites dominate the following:

world strongest man
powerlifting
weightlifting
gymnastics
swimming
tennis
golf - tiger is good, he's half black and one of the only ones succeeding in golf. It is certainly dominated by white men.
cycling
hockey
skating
skiing
wrestling
rugby
cricket
soccer

Should I go on?

What's left for blacks?
Some track & field events
football
basketball

Baseball is a toss up because there are just as many whites playing it if not more.

Thank you.

Has it occured to you that this domination in the sports you mentioned is by default (i.e. few blacks or other non-whites have any interest in those activities)?

[Blockhead]

 I wish Blax played hockey...hoekcy is the only sport I might watch or pay attention to...if negroes played hockey...hockey would be so much more fun to watch.

 Too bad though...if a negroe wanted toplay hockey they would be labeled as 'tryin to act white' in thier community and among their peers. The stigma is what prevents lots of blax from even considering hockey. PLUS...hockey is more expensive than BBing if played competitively and most inner city negroes dont have the means to pursue it full time...its more of an issue of 'what will my friends and family think...will they think I am trying to be white cuz I like hockey' thing. Blax hold their own back more than any other race.

You forgot the ultimate fighting dominated by whites.

[theonlyone]

the chess if it counts

[Blockhead]

 What about curling? How about bob-sledding? It appears since negroes are 'tropical people' any game played in ice scares them plus its known that negroes aint good swimmers so maybe they associate ice with water so they shy away.

 I also hear negores got bad night-vision. They cant see too good in the dark.

I think black people have an edge in running and sports that involve a lot of explosive moments (short sprints) and jumping, like basketball, am. football, 100/200 m, ...

In sports that are more technical and lean more on upper-body or allround performance, there is no real advantage. E.g. tennis, swimming, golf, triatlon, biathlon, mountainbike, cycling, soccer, ultimate fighting...

Of course, there are few blacks that do these sports so they can't excel. If they did, sure there's no reason why they'd be less succesfull or more succesfull.
I agree that blacks tend to look more athletic, and probably have better genetics overall. However in other departments they are less fortunate. Higher chance of obesity, heart problems, several genetic diseases, albinism, circle cell anemia,  ...

What's certainly interesting is the rise of mulatto athletes. For such a small % they are producing very good results.

Tre?  Hello, Tre?  

Proficiency in anything comes from experience not race.  Opportunity defines the ability to gain proficiency.  You can say that Allutians are horrible at everything but dominate whaling.  It would be the same argument as the sports argument.

To separate out human differences you need to isolate variables.  First you need to look at bio-chemistry, physiology, psychiatry, etc.  Without empirical data all of this is opinion based on your view not facts, generalization doesn't equal fact.  To date no one has successfully proven anything.  Even the extra hamstring muscle in African athletes has not proved an advantage as the have a higher percentage of injury which negates the affect of extra muscle.

Ever own a mutt dog?  They usually live longer and healthier lives.  We are witnessing a change in society that will take years to manifest.  Blacks are no longer owned to be bread with other blacks to make the biggest strongest slaves.  Freedom of choice and equality will cause society to reach a homeostasis of mixed races.  Are you all German, all Italian, probably not, but rahter a mix of several nationalities. 

I spent 3 months traveling Africa.  Changed my whole view of racism, prejudice, etc.

[Blockhead]

 Whats your view now, jarhead? You know...it will never ever go away. Racism is natural if you ask me...when a duck is born with a little red or black feather on top of its head and the other little duck dont have that...they will peck at it until its dead...they will kill the duck because its different.

 If we were ALL translucent...we would hate the ones who were MORE translucent.

I don't really agree. Racism is more cultural than anything else. If you look at history there's been tribes/cultures which freely merged with others, while others were highly xenofobic. Now we are at a time where everybody (from all sides) seems obsessed by it and negative aspects run rampant again.

Jarhead makes some valid points as well, but you can never prove it 100%, though i think it's fair we can assume that blacks from W-African descent in general are better at explosive movements. Even though Afro-Americans have in general between 20-30 % white genes, so they're mixed basically anyway.

About your mutt dog theory: mixing of genes is a positive step. It drastically reduces the chance of genetic diseases, and it prevents certain ailments (a lot of purebreeds have a bad heart or weak joints).
The same probably goes for humans.

[Faust]

Maybe you guys can help me:

I saw on tele the other day that a lot of mulatto babies have a darker spot on their back. Do you guys have it (blockhead/domestic godess)? Or do you know where i can find some more info on this?

[jarhead]

Racism may be a societal norm but at the root it is still a conscious decision for humans.  The relationship between human and animal behavior is not linear.  The ability to cogitate and maintain reason lies only within the human animal.  We make a conscious decision to continue racism.  I wish this were something other than black and white because it is the most emotional argument, why not east indian and japanese .  The reason racism is a derivative of society is because of the lack of effort or desire to learn by individuals about the human species as it relates as a species rather than localized societal morays of interaction based upon geographical location.  So in point, I agree with you Blockhead that this may be something that will continue and what will always seem common but I don't want to make any generalizations to common racist beliefs as to why I believe that.

Exactly....

Blacks dont WANT to play these sports. They arent interested in them and their percentage of participation is very low. They get no exposure to them at a young age like they do basketball and football in high school. You say I am trying hard to prove something. I think its actually you who is trying hard and doesnt want to accept reality. It's not like I enjoy the fact that they are genetically superior, at least I can recognize and accept it though. Those of you defending your cause (racist) are pathetic and remind me of the great white hope scenerio. Let it go, its clear to anyone with a brain that the genetic lottery is tilted in their direction slightly.

Trust me, the only reason we "whites" still have our sports is because they dont want them.

That is racist!  Where the hell is Vince G?   You are a straight playa luva, yo.

This argument is laced with emotion not fact.

Actually I would say the percentage of blacks who are interested in Basketball is higher than the percentage of whites. I've driven in my car through predominantly white neighborhoods and noticed black kids playing on the basketball court. It would be easy to come to the conclusion - much like you did - that they excel at basketball by default. Also I find it interesting that the USA did not even win the Gold Medal in Basketball at the last Olympics?! How can that be? I thought they were so superior?

Blacks excel in sports no doubt. But there are excellent white athletes out there too. And to think that they would easily dominate ALL SPORTS if ONLY they were INTERESTED in it is RETARDED!

I never heard of this but many hispanics have what is called a mongolian spot on the lower portion of their backs. One of my boys has it and the other one doesn't.

Yeah, it's probably that. I saw it in a show about adoption, the nurse said the spot was typical for mulatto, but apparently it's not.

I myself prefer mixed and black girls, or even latinas (with some black influence, the 'native' or mestizo look isnt my thing). But it's all good, i've had marrocon and white gf's as well.
