Black athletes are better than white athletes?

[Mike_Yates]

My brother says that black athletes are better than white athletes at every level.

There are more legendary sports stars who happen to be black than anyone else.

What gives them the edge over white athletes? Aren't they genetically predisposed to be extremely muscular and physiologically superior?

You have to say to your black brother that that's not true.

I am white and I am sure that no one is better swimmer than I am.

Studies have shown that the reason there are more superior black athletes is because that there are more of them as a percentage of the sport ... and the reason there are more of them is because as a race, they -- meaning blacks -- do not have the same opportunities as whites in the world as a whole. Whites -- of which I am one, for the record -- are GENERALLY financially better off as children, have better education and social interaction opportunities to them, experience more of the world as a whole, and therefore end up going in different directions other than sports.

If this was a fair world and all children -- black white red brown yellow ... green (don't want to leave out the Martians) -- had the same opportunities, there would be more black computer programmers, more black senators, more black late night hosts, more black what ever ... but it's not a fair world ... and that sucks!

Well, you know that Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder got fired from football TV for making such outrageous comments. Get the drift???

With all things being equal, what do you figure the odds are on fielding an all Black starting line in basketball.

Of course the Blacks are better than whites in some sports, and given the opportunity, maybe all physical sports................WTF

*grin*... Now there's a crock of shit.

Open your eyes, and understand, that Blacks are superior to whites in many sports.

This coming from a white guy who tries to think logically......no fucking dumb excuses

blacks are better dancers too

Hey Garbage Can. Read my post again; you will see that i said blacks ARE more superior than whites yadda yadda yadda. I never said they weren't; I simply stated why the numbers seem to be so.

And you want logic? I'll give you logic. Pick 1000 black kids in America and 1000 white kids and put them side by side; look at the opportunities that this country gives them. The black kids have fewer opportunities than the whites. If you dispute that, then YOUR logic is flawed.

So, building off that fact ... while the white kids are working on their computers and riding their motorcycles and flying down the mountain on their snow boards and riding their quarter horses and all the other stuff that the black kids -- and remember, I'm talking GENERALLY SPEAKING as a whole -- can't afford to do because they, as an entire race, don't have the money that the whites, as an entire race, have ... what are the black kids doing...? They're playing in the park with a basketball, which they can afford ... playing in the park with a baseball and a bat, or in an alley with a stick and a ball ... they're kicking a soccer ball which they can afford ... do you see where I'm going with this...?

So, let's get back to the logic ... the numbers again. If 1000 white kids who have a higher standard of living, grow up in better neighborhoods, go to better schools, and GENERALLY SPEAKING have more opportunities available to them ... what percentage of them do you think are going to stick with "ball" sports when there's so much more for them to do...? Let's make up a number; let's say 20%, just for the hell of it. How many of the black kids will stick with ball sports...? Let's make up a number; let's say 80%, just for the hell of it.

Now, let's say that white kids and black kids are EQUAL in their ability to be good at sports. If 4 out of 5 of the kids who continue in "ball" sports are black -- 20% versus 80% above -- then 4 out of 5 of the high school stars, college stars, pros are going to be black.

You don't have to use my numbers; move them around all you want, but face it -- more black kids stick with athletics than white kids, and these kids grow up to be high schoolers, where even more opportunity slants towards the whites, and they grow up to be college students, where even more opportunities slant toward the white kids ... and little by little, the whites leave sports and the blacks stay there and become super stars.

Why? Because ... as I said above ... they are superior to whites! And why? Because when you stick with something, you get better. It's not about black versus white; it's about OPPORTUNITY.

No, AnotherOldGuy, that's silly.

The reason is genetic variation. Individuals of African descent, especially western Africa (where slaves were taken from) tend to have an easier time developing muscle mass which leads to an advantage in strength, endurance, and agility.

Ever wonder how it is that Kenyans are such good runners? Genetic variation in their gene pool gives them a tendency towards long legs in relation to total stature, especially the tibia bone. This is advantageous in long-distance running (though not necessarily shorter sprinting or agility).

Look how many tight ends and offensive tackles of Polynesian descent there are in the NFL. A look at their race's typical stature tells you why this is.

The same genetic variations makes the Caucasian intellectually superior to the non-Caucasian.

And I thought it was cuz they develope their muscles fleeing cops and lifting weights at the juvenile detention center.

Ah right, the Bell Curve argument. Which was thoroughly discredited for not accounting for things as broad as environment in their research...

I bought a copy of THE BELL CURVE and threw it away after I read it.

I dont buy their proposition that a Harvard education seperates the men from the boys.

Oh God, there's another.

Ok, I'm thinking, Lions, Leopard, Rhinos, Water Buffalo, you know, animals that you kinda don't want to piss off, or look appetizing to.

As for the subject of physical size, slave owners did do a little breeding.
