***VERY IMPORTANT This is not a racist post simply a discussion***

although the subject matter & the roots for the reasoning of why can be a very touchy matter... Wondering actually how many actually know why or are on the right track...

I know the definitive answer, and it is not racist. It is fact. It is an ugly fact, but a fact nonetheless.

US Slave owners had such disregard for slaves that they quite successfuly used animal husbandry / livestock breeding techniques on them. They very simply 'bred' the largest and strongest slaves with one another.

African Americans do not dominate in all sports, but this explains their dominance in certain sports.

a predominance of fast-twitch muscle fibers. doesn't help with free throw shooting but, it sure does help with jumping.

UT, this is very true...

not to mention SLAVE traders only selected the strongest ones for travel accross the Oceans... & to boot only the Strongest survived that...

Slaves who showed any motivation to read, learn, write... were often killed.

It is a sad, sad but very trued fact

The smaller slaves were relegated to indoor work such as butlers or maids. The bigger slaves did the lion-share of the tough, manual labor.

Not all blacks are big and strong but the ones that are have the possibility to make some serious coin through sports. Some say that Eastern Asians by and large have a similar tendency toward intellectual domination.

i would agree with the eastern asian thing. when the curve got wrecked in computer science or stats class in college, it was always the asian kid with glasses i could thank for turning my "b-" to a "c".

What if one was to take 1000 black babies from various countries scattered around the world, kenya, etheopiam jamaica, etc etc etc etc....

Then you took 1000 white babies from everywhere around the world aswell, Australia, Europe... You know what I mean....

Now from Birth you put these babies in sports & athletics... nothing but... Would we see a difference?

Not if the Babies were taken from accross the world IMO...

HOWEVER

If the babies were taken from only AMERICA then you would...

Here's a tragic fact: an astoundingly high percentage of young black men are convinced that they are going to be NBA stars, whereas there are only a limited amount of slots available every year. Due to this belief,many young men in this category have NO plan B.

that's true but, it doesn't mean they don't have a better chance than a young white man with the same ambitions.

This is a great question, cuz no way it's genetics or any stuff like that. It's gotta be something else. yup. definatly. hmmm what could it be? genetics, no its not that what could it be then? genetics? No, I just said that (cough!, cough!, "here you go bro" "thanks man") so what could it be man, could it be genetics, naw no way its gotta be something else about blacks. . I mean, there's genetics ("you gotta pass that bro, I dont feel like.. ." "ok ok") and oh ya, so if it's not genetics what could it be man? I don't know man? Is it genetics I dont know couldnt be genetics could it..?.. s**t I feel smart right now is it genetics?!

I feel like Jim Carey in ace ventura, when they are at the hotel crime scene and he is sliding the glass door back and forth.

this should almost entirely pertain to sprints and jumping.. do not see an advantage in long distance running (actually would lean to whites in north america) since we arent counting the kenyans... also i do not see any advantage in the strength department and would lean to the whites there also.. Bill Kazmier remains the alltime great to me.... you notice it because of the sports, sprinting and jumping vs. lifting and long distance running..

At a young age and your playing basketball, football, baseball, your skills grow as you grow. The logical explanation for most blacks being so underachieved in Academics and more involved in Athletics is that they spend more time in the Athletic department. They would rather shoot some hoops, hit some baseballs, play some football then stay inside and write a paper. Which is great if your talent is above the rest.

First thought was JIMMY 'THE GREEK' SNYDER....

He was right though, as racist as it was, he was 100% correct...

Blacks are not great swimmers not really sure how that factors in ...

perhaps for North American Blacks...

what about countries where the black population is very thin?
