Are blacks better athletes than EVERY OTHER RACE

And offered, apparently.

I just merged modern evolutionary theory with lamarckian theory into a 100% working model, and it explains a lot that science currently did not understand

and that's all you have to say? hah.

Ask Kori for a

[Extra Stout]

I don't know whether Lamarck's ideas about evolution are correct, but I'll say this for him, he heated up his pizza promptly.

[Winehole23]

I prayed to God publicly for an end to the self-styled maestros and who does He send me?

Miami Heat and Mouse.

[Winehole23]

I deserved it.

I wonder if NASA is racist. The clearly have more white astronauts than black astronauts. That's a combination of physical prowess,skill and brains.

Go get some sleep son.

[Winehole23]

Good idea.

You think that the actions of slave owners had no effects? Let me see, they bread them like race horses so now we're seeing a more athletic population? I'm amazed.

summary of thread:

Manny goes Jimmy the Greek

Then Manny tries to divert attention from his faux pas by calling Cosmic Cowboy a racist.

Winehole tries to call people out, but he's too nice or liquored to such a thing correctly.

Chump trolls

Jack starts sounding crazy and irrational.

FACT

a white won the 100 meter gold at the 1980 Olympics.

Jeff Query and Bob Beebe are faster than .

But can they catch a football?

I would propose that Afghanistan is very similar to Africa as far as tribal loyalty taking precedence over state or nation loyalty. The tribes go with the flow and side with whoever happens to be "winning" at any given place and time. We will never get a positive outcome there no matter how many troops/resources we throw at it. It is what it is.

Yeah... those damn Afghanistans. We wouldn't have tribes in America where we accused the other tribe of hating America or anything.

Congrats? There are about 150 WR's in the NFL today. You found the one white dude and you think what? You think whites,asians,mexicans,etc have no soapbox to stand on? You really think blacks are the only ones that can play WR's? Come on son. Give me us a opinion. Do you really think Blacks are the only ones that can play that position or is the NFL,College,High School, Pop Warner racist? Are blacks better athletes than white or any other race? The numbers clearly say they are better? But are they?

There's also something to be said for opportunity, or lack thereof. Many of the WR's in the NFL came from poor to middle class families, and so saw atheleticism as a way to springboard to more money. White children probably have more opportunities to make money in other ways.

dumbest thread of all time.

[LnGrrrR]

You want a good question? How come the QB position has a much wider range of representation by caucasions than other positions? Are whites still seen as more intelligent, and therefore, better able to handle that position? Is it a statistical anomaly that will balance out? Does social class/upbringing affect how well one plays the QB position?

[LnGrrrR]

Oh please. The difference is that after we kicked their ass in the war and they surrendered we went back in and "forgave and forgot" and rebuilt their governments and their economies. We didn't slit the guys throats and rape their women. There IS a difference.

I'm sure all those dead Japanese people really appreciated that.

[DarkReign]

Well, I didnt read the entire thread and have no idea how it got to 13 pages, but...

Dont ask me why, I have no idea, but yes, it would seem Africans are ridiculously athletic per capita.

How else can you explain a minority population in this country (around 15% of total population) just completely dominate football and basketball in a country of 400+ million?

I cant. I dont know why, I couldnt even fancy a guess, but the results speak for themselves. NFL and NBA teams havent drafted anyone in the past 30 years based on race. They draft on talent and need alone, period. It just so happens the most talented seem to be black by and large (judging by the number of people taken every draft in both sports, more than half are black and I might bet 75%+)...I have no idea why and honestly, Ive never cared.

Sports is the one area in life where all are treated equally, regardless of any creed or color. Simply because if youre the best point guard, outside linebacker, center, halfback, QB, power forward, youre going to play, end of discussion.

Ah irony...

[hater]

IMO black ppl are the muscle car version of a human being.

they are bigger,faster, stronger and better looking. But they don't last as long as the older cars on the road.

[LnGrrrR]

Just for fun, let's say the hereditary differences between races for certain measurable "cognitive" traits are perhaps reflected truely in questionnaires, the results of which may suggest that certain races are not as mentally robust as others.

Doing this sort of test would seem nigh impossible though. I don't know how you could control for all the factors that might affect intelligence.

[Winehole23]

You just keep pointing to the IQ gap and say: what could possibly explain it?

Your intended audience will fill in the blanks.

[LnGrrrR]

Not really. I'd be more comfortable if you called them witch doctors. I don't think of psychology as really being a science, though no doubt it dabbles in science.

Actually WH23, I just read an article (I believe it was on slate.com) about psychologists who use scientifically-proven methods to counsel, and those who rely on what they've personally seen to work. Interesting article, and it shows that some psychology is based on results-oriented research/science.

[Winehole23]

Sure. Like economics and sociology, two other so-called sciences.

[LnGrrrR]

That's bull . The ty teams wanted to compete. They had a whole other group of good athelets to choose from to compete with so to risk there career and their LIFE they went after them. It was the ty teams that started this crazy trend.

The Boston Celtics would disagree with you.
