This is no racist thread but this is apparent if you watch sports. I was also on another bodybuilding forum and someone brought up some good points on this subject. This dude brought up gene pools and all kinds of other shyt even slavery and it made sense. It peeked my interest and I started reading up on it and I found some good article on it. I really liked this one http://www.blackathlete.net/artman/publish/article_0686.shtml
Now there has to be some correlation to this and the fact that southern black runners and football players are usually better than up top black athletes. Maybe because we were strong enough to put up with the racism and working those fields making us stronger and they ran up there like bytches.:whistle:

Because the slave masters only wanted the stronger Africans to put to work. They bred them.

Interesting

How did that work though? How can you really tell if a woman is strong? It's a lot more obvious to tell with men.

this makes no sense though. Michael jordan is one of the greatest athletes ever his brothers and sisters ain't shiit. They got the same parents. Bernard King was great, Albert King, not so great. Dominique great, Gerald, not so great. Joe Bryant mediocre, Kobe Bryant great. Kareem Abdul Jabbar great, sons not so great. Bobby Bonds, okay. Barry Bonds great!! That breeding shiit may have been thought about, but the actual product, nah.
How he do that?

Its a matter of who chooses to apply it. Its no lie that genetics play a huge role in our physical ability, but certain people will simply have more ability over the next person regardless of race.
You also fail to realize the work that actual person puts in to achieve their current ability level. The human body is highly adaptive and gets better if you train. All these people you mentioned... they worked for everything they had... you get out what you put in.

The article is right about the difference in strengths in Athletics/Sport between east and west Africans.

Some people can some people can't, doesn't matter if you practice or not.

we're stronger because we take sports seriously, after all that's one of the few fields we can come up in..

1. The breeding thing is overstated and largly a myth.
2.The genetic differences are negligible. African immigrants were never slaves and were never "bred" for strength but they tend to be jsut as athletic once they got to America.
3. Theres more to being good at sports than just raw athletic ability. Football takes more raw athleticism than basketball but basketball has less white stars than football. Not just at QB but at linebacker, Oline, Dline, Safety white players play all of those in college and the pros.
The biggest difference is cultural. Same reason the Dominicans pay baseball and the Braziliians play soccer. Cuz thats all they do growing up is pick up a melon or a rock and stick and they play with it. We used to excel at baseball which is an unathletic sport jsut cuz thats the sport we wanted to play. White kids play a variety of sports, and they get steered towards the ones they THINK they can do best at. Or they go camping and join the boyscouts or karate class etc... Black kids in America jsut play basketball football or track and thats it.

There's also the social part of it, the fact that Blacks take sports a lot more seriously from an earlier age because it's pretty much the only thing American society encourages Black men to excel at.
