You are over simplifying . Nature my ass, a 5'0 African would have been no use for slave work. In Mexico when the Spaniards conquered they tried to use Native Americans as slaves but they were dying from over work/over heat/they just weren't built as sturdy as the African man. Keep in mind that you had to have a certain level of physical capability in order to have survived through the slave years. That means alot of the slaves that were weaker physically died off and eventually they were completely removed from the gene pool. African Americans dominate almost every sport there a 5'2 African male was completely useless for slavery,why would they pay money to have that individual shipped when there were 6'2 Africans? If you keep breeding tall and strong africans over and over, eventually the average height/strength for african americans is going to go up.
Did slave breeding actually exist?

Most native americans were dying from diseases brought by Europeans
Not bc they were physically weaker than africans
I didn't say they died because of slavery don't be a moron. I said native Americans weren't used for slaves because they were physically inferior. Ive done more research on this than you, don't try to out smart me.

you went off the rails here So let.me.help you focus
Is your view of slavery that most Plantation owners in america were breeding friends of African descent to create stronger slaves to be used when they are.of working age
great video...just bought her book

I think it's common knowledge that selective breeding happened during slavery.
How widespread was it, and to what extent tho?
And how much of it was for breeding superior physical specimen, b/c from what I understand slaves were bred for # (especially after they couldn't import anymore)?
On the other hand you gotta understand that a lot of the weaker ones never made it through the journey, so by default you had the (relatively) most fit slaves making it to the plantations and therefore ultimately getting the chance to procreate.
By the same token you could argue that these were also the ones least likely to put up a fight to the death and as a result they ultimately passed on these traits also. Haven't seen any scientific evidence to support this last point tho

Check out American Horror Story (3rd season I think).
Looks like it was based on this
warriors already exist in africa. We don't need individuals taking credit for God given gifts friends.
You know!
Couple things about the sports argument...
1. Africa is a continent. One of the largest in the world and THE most genetically diverse in the world. You can't compare a country to an entire continent that big when it comes to all sports. There is no such thing as the basic original standard negroid. Black people in all different parts of Africa are known for different physical traits based on which part.
2. One could argue that the U.S dominantes the sports we take seriously because we have the most money and have the best doctors, trainers, coaches, nutritionists, and the best facilities. The same cannot be said for many poorer African nations who can't afford to make heavy investments in sports like that. Not everyone is on the same playing field.
3. African nations whip everyone's ass every year in the marathon and basically any long distance running event. By your logic black Americans should have the highest endurance on earth and should win endurance events every single time with ease because they were bred to work longer without stopping.
4. Slavery in Jamaica lasted nearly just as long as it did in the states. Jamaicans have absolutely demolished AAs in track (sprinting) over the past 10 years. Do you think it's a coincidence that Jamaica also just so happened to upgrade their training facilities and youth programs 15-20 years ago? Was Jamaica not playing in the Gold Cup final for soccer last month after finally affording a world class coach?
Look, I believe selective breeding did happen... but to what extent and what impact? I dont buy into the idea that all AA are just genetically engineered super-beings due to selective breeding. Theres levels to this ish and its way more complicated than you make it.

I think genetically we black folks are already superior to any other race physically so I won't give slave owners that kind of credit, but I do believe they were breeding the most healthy black men and women with each other to get the strongest off spring. Like someone else said they saw us as nothing more than cattle, I'd actually be surprised if they weren't doing this shyt to us back then. Just fukked up shyt all around

Ya'll are crazy i thought it was common knowledge they forced sex to produce the strongest slaves.
They forced the women to have sex with whoever they thought could produce the best stock.
The slaves were experimented on especially pregnant women because they wanted to test the fetus.
I think people underestimate how terrible slavery actually was and the effect it could have to Africa Americans today.
To have your wife raped everyday by your fellow slave to the house master only to produce a child you have to then raise. To not be able to protect your women child and maybe your own manhood(they raped men).
Those raped women then had to raise their child produced by rape and watch as their men couldn't protect them.
Mind you non of these slaves received any counseling they were just sent off.
It truly is a huge mind fukk to think about.
