Are black athetes more athletlic than white athletes?.

[triggnom]

yea i dont see what the point of this thread is, im black too.

its pretty obvious a lot the top athletes in many sports are black.

Unless your wondering if whites will ever have the ability to balance it out, which I believe they can, theirs no point to this thread.

I think its more so the same reason Karate and taekwon doe is dominated by Asians, its in their culture. Because of the oppression of the government, black people were left with limited choices of sport, and in a poor neighborhood, basketball is the easiest thing to get goin, all you need is a ball and small space compared to football and all others.

Its in our history, and it became the most popular sport to be played by black people. Siblings follow their siblings and kids start earlier and earlier.

Genetics I do believe plays a part, but I think its more so due to this^ because athleticism you can be born with, but not the skill and technique you see so many black atheltes have, those things are worked for, and the earlier the kid started in life, the greater the skill level. If its in the culture, the more likely he would of have started at a really early age........like chinese kids and karate

Apparently blacks have a heavier bone structure which helps them and why you don't see many swimming.

And also if you think the ****** were bred together to produce ****** that could do well physically then this has been passed down

The thing is American football just like basketball is geared towards speed and explosivness,traits more common in black athletes.The amount of quarterbacks is about equal to the ammount of population % in America,which needs other traits aswel.Does America have many sports where flair and skill and strength are iintegral to success because I cant think of many.

What if you had put Eddie George and Barry Sanders on skates at age 3?

Ummm, wouldn't that be a disadvantage to running and jumping and being fast?

They are all of PREDOMINANT African ancestry. They are all black, non-white African Americans who identified as such and acknowledged no such admixture. This is wishful thinking on your part. They need not be included into your imaginary extended family in order to be what they were.

Aren't you late for a Farrakhan meeting or something? When you go, tell them that Elijah Muhammad was NOT black, he was a semite, just like the ancient egyptians that created those sculptures you're so proud of.

They also said blacks were not possibly smart or at least capped at a lower level of inteligence compared to whites (same social backgrounds) and was proved false. blacks couldn't do politics (Dr. Rice, Barrak *****), drive cars (Louis Hamilton), play golf (Tiger Woods) and go to space (sorry i don't know his name anymore). Being black is like having your hair blond or brunnet, just a phisical trait and that's how it should be looked at. Now if you are talking about groups, yes it is true blacks are more victims of prejudice, tend to be more in boxing for survival than for natural talent or taste, so if you have a bigger pool you have more fighters with that phisical trait, more champions whatever....

Africans are dominant in "some" sports because its a place where the playing field is level and they have an equal opportunity to compete for certain positions. Many africans currently do not have access to other more high class sports.

Plus coaches and owners have now realized that not putting the best player on the field would only hurt the team and their desire to be the best.

However as we all know this wasn't always the case. As time goes on we'll start to notice that things will be changing even more.

I wonder why people assume that Africans are not intelligent. Havent they ruled the earth for thousands of years?

What does this corny wise crack have to do with what I said? Typical cop-out from a typical loser.

Semitic is a language group (not an ethnicity) that is part of the Afro-asiatic language phylum which according to Fleming, originated in ETHIOPIA (Where it is still spoken by various people in various forms/languages). So how ****** are you?
