Do the Olympics finally prove that Race has little to do with athleticism??

[Piff Huxtable]

i saw no chinese in the 100 final

cause you can't kidnap a 5 year old child and teach him sub 10s blackleticism

according to you or the olympics?

be easy breh. black people do everything they can to hang on to sports because when it comes to intellect, intelligence, and advancements. these dudes are far behind. Blacks can't even hold their own country together let alone contribute to advancements for human kind. Let these dudes believe in the fairy tale that resides in their heads. If it wasn't for white people, these dudes would still be hunting animals with a spear.

this is false

whites have superior immune systems and muscular strength along with better slow twitch muscle fibers (better endurance etc.)

but yall can keep believing lies

white excellence

and this dude claims to be black... We see you

i think the biggest factor is culture. if one country's culture is very deep into a particular sport, odds are kids will practice that sport more, scouts will be more educated and find better raw talent, more money time and energy invested, etc. so chances are they'll do good in that sport.

race and genetics are also a factor because some races have distinct physical traits (not all members of a race but still on avg) and so some races have more chances of finding people better suited physically for certain sports. for example, black people typically hav smaller ankles and if i remember correctly this has a positive effect on jumping explosively or something like that. other races probably have physical advantages that benefit them in other sports.

so yes, race (genetics) is a factor. still think culture is a bigger factor because you'll probably find people with any physical characteristics in every race. but they might not feel like playing the sport they'd be "suited for" physically because it's not popular in their culture or they simply don't have access to the top trainers and pros, don't have role models that look like them, etc.

but am i lying? the technology you hold in your hands and the things you see around you were created, crafted, engineered, envisioned by Asians, Caucasians, and Spaniards. Blacks are good with music and entertainments though.

But the platform, basics, model is not created by blacks.

 

[Maschine_Man]

it seems like most of the focus in here has been on America and the whites and blacks there.

You guys need to look more globally. Sports is more than just football, basketball, baseball and even hockey.

Just because it ain't popular here doesn't mean that the athletes that actually do participate in other sports are less superior athletically.

This is the kind of nonsense that I wanted to avoid.



It's been said in here by a few people and I can't remember the names at the moment but Why can't we just give credit to individual atheltes based on their own hard work and dedication??

This type of thinking (that one race is superior over another athletically....or even mentally) just breeds ignorance and more racism.

shyt, you had(have) white coaches that won't even look at a white player for a skill position in football due to already built in racial stereotypes.
same way that same (dumbass) coach won't look at a black athlete as a qb

 

[Guess Who]

Running, jumping, and quickness are natural born abilities. Yes you can improve them by training but only slightly. Environment and background has a lot to do with which sports a person chooses to participate in but it doesn't mean they would be better if all had the same opportunity. In events like 100m ect.. you either fast or you not

I dunno breh. In high school I wasn't able to dunk. I trained for 2 months. I was able to dunk. I kept training. I was able to get my head to rim level. I increased my vertical by almost an entire foot in a span of 6 months, training at a medium-hard level.

fukk, I don't even know why I posted in this thread...this shyt...is complicated.

Dude I'm not talking to white racists. They'll always have their racist beliefs. I'm talking specifically toward black folks.

How do you simultaneously make the argument that we are genetically gifted to be superior athletes citing numbers like the percentage of black athletes in the NBA/NFL/track yet deny that we are NOT genetically inferior intellectually if numbers like test scores are cited? You can't deny that you open the door to that argument if you accept that genes can have such control over our abilities.

IN ADDITION, I don't know what good it does us to believe we are better than white folk at athletics just because of our skin color. I'd much rather celebrate our athletes for being better than whites because they worked and trained harder.

I'm white and I agree with you. I'm just saying that racists, white or any other color, don't use logic so they're not gonna follow the "other side of the coin" example you're laying out. They'll find ways to justify their ignorance.

I dont care what door is opened because im willing to use my brain and challenge other peoples statements.

Given the exact same access to training, supplements, and facilities, African Americans have shown to be more athletically gifted than many other races when it comes to things like sprints, basketball, etc.. Why do white WRs, RBs, and CBs disappear when you reach the NFL level but they are plentiful in college? Do you believe the white players who play OL, LB, TE, and DT, made it to the NFL because they put in more effort than the white kids who played WR?

Academic achievement has a high correlation to how educated your parents are, the schools you attend, your teachers, economic standing, etc.... Those are many areas where African Americans by and large are well behind their white counterparts. Given the exact same opportunities is there any evidence that we lag behind academically? I havent seen it.
