There is no science to support the idiotic theory of racial demarcation. Only racists like to use race as a point if discussion.

Then you don't understand slavery. Black Africans were treated and breed like common farm animals and livestock. So is it any wonder that you would have a larger segment of us that seem to be bigger and faster or dominate certain fast twitch muscle disciplines?

Just saw that Blacks make up only 13.2% of America's population.

What percent of college and professional athletes do they make up?

A greater portion than most other ethnic groups do I guess. What percentage of the 1% are made up of white males?

Who really gives a crap. Do what you can do and do it well and you'll excel. Half ass it and you'll suck in life no matter what color or ethnic mix you have.

Jimmy the Greek once offered an explanation based upon observable physical differences between black and white males. He cited studies which claimed the lower body muscles (the legs and especially the buttocks) of blacks were distinctly different and more explosive than those of whites. That explanation got him banned from TV and NFL broadcasts. Therefore, I will not ratify that opinion for fear of being banned from highly intellectual discussions such as this one.

He didn't cite a study. He stated the exact same thing I did. Black West Africans were bred a certain way during slavery.

That is what got Jimmy The Greek in trouble.

Poor mods. I bet that they thought/hoped that Christmas week would be a slow one. :zeitung_lesen:

Why? No one here is being overtly racist. If we can't have intelligent and open dialog without referring to *gasp* ethnicity, then we have a truly pathetic culture.

That's what our nation/culture has become though McCat. Pathetic is putting it nicely.

I didn't say it was. I figured it would probably take some watching in case it spiraled off, that's all.

Dang, everyone is touchy these days.

Dobbs 4 Heisman said:
And yall wonder why I think race has something to do with the whole Dobbs can't throw agenda around here.

Statements like this EXPOSE the subconscious bias some on here have. No wonder some on here focus so much on the few bad throws Dobbs makes versus his many great throws if you believe all black folks are good for is running.

smh

I tell you what chaps my a**, it's the overwhelming inequity in ping pong. They're all from the Far East.

White ping pong players introduce beer into the mix and everything goes downhill from there. So, maybe it does have more to do with work ethic than we think...

You piss me off with BS stuff like this. As soon as you disagree with someone you get offended and complain. Ignored.

It's interesting that running fast is seemingly the end all be all of "athleticism". Why are most of the fastest cyclists or swimmers white or the strongest power lifters? Where do those and other feats rank in athleticism? In my opinion a lot of the "best" boils down to how much time is spent on something culturally. Small wonder Jamaica produces fast athletes they embrace the sport. Iceland embraces power lifters so small wonder you see a predominate number of strong men.

Gentics is the seed but IMO culture is the nutrients that help feed said seed.

Kenyan runners are another fantastic example where gentics may play a role but not the only role. For starters it's not all of Africa or even Kenya that produces great long distance runners. Instead it is a specific minority tribe. They gentically have thinner ankles which is one key. Take that further though and they additionally embrace pain and the sport itself. Pain tolerance being of importance in long distance running.

Manners says that this enormous social pressure placed on your ability to endure pain is actually great training for a sport like running where "pushing through pain" is so fundamental to success.

"Circumcision," he says, "teaches kids to withstand pressure and tolerate pain."

Manners says he thinks there's a distinct advantage conferred on athletic kids who grow up in a pain-embracing society, as opposed to a Western, pain-avoiding one.

No sh#t. There are no physiological differences between white and black people. That clown just wanted an excuse to subliminally suggest that black folks are also intellectually inferior because of genetics.

Its the tit for tat game that racists like to play.

Yes. Yes there are.

Ever seen how a forensic pathologist can tell the race of a person just by looking at their bones? #Science.

No kidding; not to mention the dude is such a wishy-washy poster, it's hard to keep up with whatever stance he's taking this week. Before the season Jones was the man and Dobbs was a Heisman darkhorse to him, then by the Arkansas game he was trashing both, only to start praising them again after the UGA game and bashing anyone that dare question either.
