Are black athetes more athletlic than white athletes?.

[deliveryman]

you are such a racist.

How is it racism? It's the truth. Generally, black people are more athletically gifted than white people, simply due to genetics.

Just how, Generally, white people are smarter, or at least score higher on IQ tests, than black people.

If this was due to admixture, then certainly the outliner from which the elements are derived should outperform the admixed. Yet you're arguing that neither blacks or whites dominate but rather mixed African Americans? You seem to be confused.

I'll give one example. In track and field, the short distance races are usually always won by those of West African descent (tropical body adaptation, high lung capacity), while those of East African descent tend to do better in long distance (Elongated tropical body plans, higher lung capacity, adaptation to higher, more mountainous regions).

What is Micheal Jordan mixed with?
What was Sugar Ray Robinson mixed with?
What is Jerry Rice mixed with?
What is Hank Aaron mixed with?

etc, etc...

It has nothing to do with admixture. Certain people are just predisposed to outperform in certain areas. Europeans are more stocky in order to conserve heat in colder climates (it's an survival mechanism/adaptation), hence tend to dominate sports like weight lifting or whatever requires a lot of upper body strength.

That makes sense, it seems to be about natural selection driven by geographical and subsequently climatic factors. Geographical isolation may cause this variation.

See many tennis courts in the hood?

The very same skills that make you a successful ballplayer will make you a successful tennis player.

The people that you see winning in tennis now have been playing in tennis camps and juniors since childhood.

If you had black parents forcing their sons into tennis, you would have the male equivalents of the Williams sisters.

I don't know about swimmers, but you realize the greatest soccer player of all time was black right??? Pele.

yeah but pele wasent african he was brazillian .

yeah but pele wasent african he was brazillian .

brazilian of african decent, what's the difference?

[UnderPressure]

If you look at the most atheltically gifted boxers such as tyson,ali,roy jones,sugar ray robinson etc. The great sprinters carl lewis,ben jonson . The greatest golfer of all time tiger woods. The greatest basketball players were michael jordan and magic jonson . Are they superior athletes?.

Regarding Tiger Woods, doesn't he have Caucasian blood in him? Furthermore, he's really Asian.

[Motofan]

You wont have to worry about this in a few decades. Its the same reason that there wont be any real redheads in 50 years. The races are mixing so much now that there wont be a full on white or black athlete. Just mixes of several. Tiger Wood is more Asian then black, he said so himself. If you have to call him something call him asian. His words. So are you assuming that the smaller amount of him that is black made him a great golfer? Or are Asians just the best golfers? You see how this is flawed logic? I have heard the "Well they bred the strongest ****** together so they made the black people stronger." This may have been true, with there have been enough generations now away from it to where it is no longer a valid argument. If a black person comes from a family of athletic people that you can make the argument, but if he comes from a family that sits on the couch and watches tv, the whole "bred from the strong" argument goes out the window. Same thing for any race. White people arent less athletic or more powerfull then any other race. If you break it down this is just a ****** argument. Look at it this way, sports can be a way out of a bad situation or poverty. This effects some races more then others. Its just a fact. If you look at basketball or boxing as a way out of the ****** or a bad area, then you are driven more to succeed. If you are well off and go to nice schools and dont rely so much on athletics to make it in the world then you arent focused on becoming the next great sports star. This is the main reason why black athletes dominate basketball and many other sports is because it is a way to pay for school and a future. Look at UFC, mostly white athletes. Not because they are better at it, but because they are into it more. Same goes for every other race and sport you break down. Just blindly saying "Black people are better at this, or white people are better at this" isnt reality.

I'm not confused at all, and if you knew anything about hybrid vigour you'd understand how the admixed would outperform the outliner from which the elements were derived.

You have no idea what you're talking nor do you know the first thing about biology. A hybrid is defined as the offspring of two things genetically dissimilar. There are no defined sub-species within today's **** genius so you make no sense, and yes, you're confused. As stated, these are advantages from adaptation.

I lived in Africa for twelve years, and I can guarantee you that Jordan, Robinson, Rice, Aaron have some other raced mixed in with them.

This again demonstrates your ignorance of human biodiversity and the vast variability of the African phenotype. You can't discern such indigenous traits without the proper instruments, so you sound ******ed. Africa subsumes 80% of the world's diversity and I don't care about what part you visited because the other end of where you were would have been alien to you.

Much more obvious in people like Joe Louis, Winky Wright, or even Ali.

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.

I don't know if you can say that about tennis. Because tennis involves so many different athletetic qualities, probably more than any other sport there is.

And it also heavily involves strategy, intuition in order to be able to construct and destruct points efficiently.

True. Guys like Blake and Monfils who do thrive in the ATP circuit mainly do so becase of their tremendous athleticism. I noticed that.

When you cross two breeds of sheep or cattle, you often get what's called a "hybrid vigour" ,smart guy. And as far as the rest of your post, it was entirely to biggoted and racist to answer to.

[kayjay]

"acknowledged no admixture," "identified themselves as such"

Man did you study English or Biology. Don't mix science and pseudo-science. If they had white great-great-grandfathers, then they were mixed. We're all mixed over here, *****.
