Are blacks better athletes than EVERY OTHER RACE

[Alex Jones]

Its because of the great benefits packages those places offered.

You guys are funny. Can you not accept the fact that most black slaves came to America from central and southern Africa (where they were sold by other black tribes who had conquered them) which is not exactly a kind and gentle continent to evolve in? Where lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles etc. (not to mention other black tribes) killed the slow and the meek? Where they evolved in relative isolation? Where athleticism might be an asset and only the strong and fit survived to breed? Where over thousands of years they DID become genetically superior to soft Europeans?

Yeah, it's all the slave owners...LOL...

[Alex Jones]

There was way too big of a population explosion.

guess who helped?

[balli]

Of course there are other factors involved, but to entirely write off slavery as having anything to do with the genetic state of African Americans, is just a pretty dumb thing to do.

Yeah, it's all the slave owners...LOL...

Way to completely misrepresent the position. Very thorough, astute and fair of you to do so. Stunning argumentation.

On behalf of slave owners.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

So now your contention is that it was the Euro's who lived the Spa life and that it was harder to live in Africa because of lions.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

So what the do you think, the only African children who survived to puberty where the ones who out ran lions?


Jesus christ your posts in this thread are ing full of win.

Africa's wildlife gets no credit for her superior athletes?

[MannyIsGod]

Also - can you paint me the picture of what the people in Europe did while the Africans were evolving in better ways? Perhaps they all sat around in caves discussing how easy they had it? Maybe they collected art? Ate sushi? Watched reality TV?

I literally LOLed when I read that man.

[Shastafarian]

Obviously the Europeans were more evolved and civilized at the time when African evolution started selecting for athletes. Duh!

[MannyIsGod]

Shhh, no one tell CC there were Lions in Europe until about 2000 years ago.

So Manny...are you saying that if your ancestors had been slaves for a couple of hundred years you would be ripped like David Robinson instead of short and fat?

[Shastafarian]

Kevin Walter must really be black. And I hear Kevin Curtis has a black mom. So he doesn't count either.

[Shastafarian]

Tight Ends aren't athletes. They're just out there to lighten up the field.

[Shastafarian]

Grady Sizemore is one of the most athletic center fielder's in baseball. He looks white but he can't be. Because that would mean the team chose a *gasp* white person over a black at position that requires significant athletic ability. Gasp.

I'm ok with being short and fat but you're obviously butt hurt about being incredibly stupid which is why you're trying to attack me. Its cute CC. Its not the first time I've gotten under your skin and I love it everytime I do.

But the obvious answer to your question is no. I believe that the practices of slavery have given the African American population in America a higher percentage of high quality athletes. Of course when you read this all you see is WHITEY SUCKS for some reason. You must really think those slave owners were really nice people.

PS

Populations in Africa may actually posses genetics that produce a higher percentage of athletes in particular sports (Why do Kenyans dominate marathons etc) and I don't dismiss that. What I dismiss is your stupid "LOL LIONS AND PLUS EUROS ARE SOFT" ridiculousness.

I do not, never did, and would not ever advocate slavery. I just think that your knee jerk reaction to attribute athleticism in the black population world wide to a couple hundred years of slavery in America to be naive and stupid.

In other words, a typical Manny post.

I can't keep track of who's Jimmy the Greek and who isn't anymore.

CC: while it's true that over time, the environment will exert evolutionary pressures to express certain traits, forced breeding for traits works much faster and is much more effective. Blacks were livestock, and were bred accordingly by their masters.

You need to read up on the works of Gregor Mendel.

My post was totally naive and stupid. Nothing like attributing it to Lions Hippos and .

No one said anything about you advocating slavery. Some are just at amazed at your...

wait for it...

naive and stupid view of slavery.

[Galileo]

Blacks are not better athletes than whites.

Hybrids are better athletes than whites or blacks.

That why American blacks are better athletes than African blacks (who don't do at the Olympics).

Personally I think that quality of training and financial support has a lot to do with that but you may have a valid point.

[CosmicCowboy]

And Manny, again, I am not defending slavery. That is an indelible stain on our country's legacy but I don't feel any particular ancestral guilt for being white.

[MannyIsGod]

According to CC Yao Ming is really tall because his ancestors worked on building the upper portions of the Great Wall - not because the Chinese Government pushed his parents toward marriage.

You keep coming back to this but not one single person has said that you should feel guilty for what anyone did or that you are saying slavery was good.

Jesus for someone that doesn't feel any guilt you defend yourself a lot.
