plenty of white european women sprinters though..why do you think this is? that white men can't seem to compete in sprinting, yet the women can? there shouldn't be any genetic differences imo.
....world class white female sprinter from the USA? Lolo Jones is a hurdler. When was the last time we had a fast white chick on one of our National teams? , we haven't had many white male sprinters either. We have to go back to 64 to find one on our 4x1 team, an Ivy Leaguer named Gerry Ashworth. Last white Ameican to win an Olympic 100/200 was in 1956. Bobby Morrow out of ACU won both in Melbourne.
I do get a kick out of all the ways people try to get out of the obvious, it's funny.

Fyi, if you are fishing for other track fans, the sports forums are down the hall.
I have no idea about women sprinters or hurdlers. But if someone's name is Lolo, they are not white.
No, because of reverse racism.
[/thread]
I think the term "reverse racism" is more stupid than racism itself. Who exactly are we supposed to be racist against???
One of the most amazing world records is this one.
41.37 German Democratic Republic 1985
That is in the 4x1 relay, hard to believe no USA/Jamaican team has broken it by now.
When it comes to sprinting it's all about physique. Those with roots to western Africa have that physique tailor made fror explosive type athletic events. Then there is power, those European women are so powerful they make up for their non sprint friendly physique.
White sprinters are however limited as to just how fast they can go. The European women better in the 200/400 than the 100, their strength and endurance come into play more there.
The fastest white American male sprinter was Kevin Little with his 10.13. The HS record is 10.01 held by Afro American Jeff Demps. That's how weak it's become.
You worry about that for me...ok?
Nothing racist about having two eyes and seeing real life. Blacks are the fastest sprinters, that is simply reality. So yep, ..suppose to be racist against?
No worries. Just throwing out an fyi in case you wanted to find potentially more track fans.
I go to other boards for sprint talk. Just felt like seeing what the posters "here" thought.
It's genetics, re . The same reason blacks have the lowest avg test scores.
It's like comparing a Border Collie to a Rottweiler. You wouldn't expect a Border Collie to be able to fight a Rottweiler but you also wouldn't expect a Rottweiler to be as smart as a Border Collie
The Border Collie would orchestrate things so that the Chihuahuas would fight the Rottweilers. While they (Border Collies) colluded with the German Shepherds to control all breeds.
This isn't Animal Farm
Your mom's bed is an animal farm.
No it's not, it's a tempur-pedic
No we won't, the black females sprinters are too good to lose to the Beckie's of the world; and LoLo is half white/half black, so basically she black.

The OP should team up with Artangel and make an uberthread.
Please don't..it would bring down the forum servers with its sheer awesomeness and then what would all of us do without a hermaphrodite who has a love for male asians stripping and a 65yr old track stalker with a fetish for black males in spandex...
Remember in 99 during the spurs celebration, Don Harris took calls from viewers and someone called in and asked 'why aren't there more white guys on the spurs?"
Who you talking to? I know why blacks are the fastest sprinters, yep, genetics.
A better example would be we won't see a Rottweiler outrunning a greyhound. A lion outrunning a cheetah.
