African-American?

[fiendish]

"African-Americans are good only in sports that requires physical advantage because they are big and strong...That's their main asset...You can rarely find an African-American in sports that requires a great deal of thinking like billiards, poll, chess, and other sports that doesn't require physical advantage but rather superior thinking..."

Well I think boxing requires superior thinking. Even Teddy Atlas says on fight night 4 says the winner of a fight is usually the smarter of the two in boxing! But I doubt typical afro american environment and genetic ability is suited to a mind sport such as chess.

Actually the term African-American should not even refer to race. That's a misuse of words. Because many WHITE people are in fact African-Americans. LOL If Corrie Sanders comes to the US to live, then he's an African-American. It's absurd, actually. It's like saying "I'm a French-American. That means I'm white." Like there's no black people in France.

But you know, some people are sensitive, and it's an old term, so it'll die hard. But it's the single most absurd term we have for race or skin-color, naming it after an actual continent.

It goes even further than that since Africa is not a country.

Explain why it wouldn't be? What do you know about genetic ability?

I didn't call you a racist, I called you ******. You have to be to think they don't excel at sports that don't require "superior thinking." I had no idea the game of pool - a game where you hit a ball in the hole with a stick - required more thinking than boxing, where a well-trained athlete spends 48 minutes attempting to make you submit.

In boxing, you already know how your opponent moves because you study his previous fights before you face him... In pool, you can't tell where the balls are to be positioned...

Give me a break.. this week's hot terms in BS are.

1. ducked
2. African-American

Can somebody explain to me what is the difference between an Asian, African-American, Hispanic/Latino, European because I'm really tired of this.

The only differences I can spot are.

1. Asian - smaller, shorter, faster
2. European - tall and white
3. Hispanic/Latino - similar to Asian but speaks Spanish
4. African-American - black, bigger, and taller

I don't see any difference on skills... Can someone explain how the skin color can affect boxing skills?

If you are black because you are working under the sun everyday then you might have a better stamina and endurance.. but if you are a natural black there is no difference...

Give me a better explanation why African-Americans are better... and if you say slick - tell me what the color can do with their slickness......:

it's actually

Asian - Small, Athletic, Fast
European - Small/Big, Slow, Robotic
Hispanic/Latino - Tough, Lots of Stamina
Blacks - Small/Big, Athletic, Fast

[The_Demon]

each race has certain attributes pinned to them

european style-upright technical fighters

hispanics-heart and determination

black fighters-good movement skills

etc etc
its a massive generalisation but its the way it is

That is quite honestly the dumbest thing I've heard in a long while. Yes you can tell where the balls are positioned, they stop moving at some point don't they? Don't players spend time looking at the position of the balls before they shoot? Furthermore, that's not proof that it requires superior thinking...AT ALL. Just a ******, ****** comment to suggest that 1. that requires superior thinking 2. Blacks can't handle that.

You have your opinion, I have mine... I just want to remind you that I did never said that "blacks cant handle that"... read my post again brother...

You leave yourself open to **** when you make comments like this:

You can rarely find an African-American in sports that requires a great deal of thinking like billiards, poll, chess, and other sports that doesn't require physical advantage but rather superior thinking

Then go on to say you can only explain why via PM. GTFOH with that ****. If you're gonna say something like that, you better have a good ****ing reason.

Tiger Woods

The only people who play billiards,poll and chess are nonathletic people. Just like white America who turns to MMA when they suck at boxing.
