I grew up playing sports in small schools of white people. I was a standout athlete in this venue.
My son plays hockey and is very good. Nearly all of his competition is white. He also is very good in tennis, golf and baseball. Only in baseball is there a significant amount of black kids.... but they are no better than the white kids.
I signed him up for 5th grade football this year and was shocked by what I saw. The team is half white, half black. It is like watching men with boys. The black athletes are faster, stronger, much more aggressive and have shredder type moves. My son who is used to being the fastest is easily outclassed by the black athletes. The only kids to touch the ball during games are the black kids. They are that much better.
I don't get it, I have spent a small fortune on my son putting him all kinds of sports and making him train at home. I don't believe that the black athletes are training nearly as hard. I am left with the conclusion that for whatever reason, black people are genetically superior to white people in certain sports. Needless to say, my son won't be playing football next which is kind of sad.... he would have been a 4th generation football player.
Could we be seeing the effects of 400 years of selective breeding, same as we did for
cows and horses ? Possibly. More importantly, with a million-to-one shot at pro sports, how are
these 'genetically superior' types doing in school ? I do not place too much emphasis on
youth sports as most will stop playing at some point and go on to make a life for themselves.
Here is where we see the separation based on socio-economic stratification of participating families.
Basically, the kids who succeed scholastically will be the ones who will succeed in life. What's the
black/white ratio now ? My sole objection to the scenario HD portrays, is that in certain
sports, in certain sports programs around the country, a white kid won't be allowed to take
the field unless he can compete with the black ones. Such is the nature of sports.

To further expand on what bergall just said the white kids that can't play end up as owners while the black kids are players. 400 years ago the biggest slaves were in demand since they were able to do more work. They had offspring who in turn became bigger. That evolved into what is today. IMO that genetic abnormality through some selective breeding is being reversed now since having a larger brain rather than athleticism is more of a commodity in today's world. Only a few can play professional sports. All the rest have to live normal lives and being successful is the benchmark.
HD I believe your answer on the locked thread is 5K....then again I was only a telephone man.

They had offspring who in turn became bigger. That evolved into what is today. Evolved SOCIALLY and POLITICALLY. The 'selective breeding' of slaves was done to ensure size, strength,
stamina, virility and fertility to maintain numbers. How smart a slave was might have been a nice side benefit occasionally, but that was not the purpose. Don't forget, the Nazis wanted to do this with the German people but was a few centuries too late...the concept was old, tried and true long before little Adolph got the notion of the uber-menschen.

HD I believe your answer on the locked thread is 5K....then again I was only a telephone man. Abnormality ? I'd not considered it abnormal...an anomaly maybe, in human populations, but certainly something achievable by humankind. Where would we be if 'intelligence' was included in the criteria used for selective breeding ? woo hoo ! Let's acknowledge that the active selecting breeding of human beings was stopped 146 years ago, or thereabouts and while there has been little devolution, we now have social conditions working on all populations so socio=economic forces on blacks make them more susceptible to death by gunshot and heart attack. But you are 100% spot-on regarding the path to success. It seems silly to pursue a career path with a 1 in 5,000,000 ratio of success to failure (as in professional sports), rather than an academically sound program which can provide a much greater path to success than a sports-minded program can ever provide.
I suppose one could research whether there are any differences between blacks and whites as far as physical size is concerned. I think it's common knowledge that we Orientals tend to be smaller in general than whites. We are beginning to see ***anese and Korean baseball players in the major leagues, but I doubt we'll be seeing very many Oriental football players.
You would have to study the question. Is it possible that Blacks are genetically larger and more athletic than the other races? I suppose it's possible.

And what does size matter? Did you see who won the little league world series... ***an.. They spanked everyone..
Whats up with black people
