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

[DalMem]

Might as well have Olympic darts, bowling, and foosball.

Real shyt.

They take away Baseball and Softball, but keep a none sport game. Might as well have pool, frisbee competition, and Craps shooting as Olympic sports.

They need to do like the Winter Olympics and add some X games events

didn't a white dude finish second in the 10000?? beating all those africans??


shyt, I ain't trying to make this a racism thread I was trying to do the opposite


ya'll some insecure muthafukkas

It is very sad.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

And yes, athleticism is not just running fast and jumping high. Ignorant b*stards.

 

[Da Don]

no

 

[Family Lives Matter]

no

Pos rep!

 

[intruder]

For real

Black People beating whites
Whites beating blacks
asians beating everyone

shyt is a beautiful thing man for real


It proves that no one race is dominant over the other physically and athletically

It was never about race. Blacks tend to be the better physical specimen but sports and athleticism isnt all about the physique.

In what way?

is this only in America??

don't let American blacks and whites be the sole part of your argument.

you got some frail ass lookin africans and some physical beasts in eastern europe.

it evens out when you look overall. I wouldn't put one race over another in anything.

Why are black folks disagreeing with this?

You do know the implication that if you say we're faster in track because of genetics means you open the door for these fakkit racists to say that the reason we get lower test scores is cause we're intellectually inferior because of genetics.


I agree that race has nothing to do with athleticism. If it did then shouldn't some other black folks rather than Ethiopians or Kenyans win the distance running? Or if all black people had genetic talent then shouldn't some other black folk rather than Jamaicans or African Americans win the sprints? The reason it seems like certain groups dominate certain sports has more of do with WORK ETHIC, HEART, and the ENVIRONMENT one grows in.

I mean Nigeria is the worlds largest country in terms of black folk and they've never had a track champion in the Olympics. The second largest country in terms of number of black folks is Brazil but I've never seen one of them win track final. Why is it just a small island in the Caribbean that is producing all the great sprinters in the world? If it was just about innate talent then wouldn't countries with more black people be producing more great athletes?


Ain't it funny that when white people or chinese people are good at something they credit it to hard work but when black folk are good at something they just credit to genetics. As if saying that the only reason they ain't better than us at running track is cause we lucked out with better genes. I say fukk this. And any black person who falls for this ain't doing us a favor because its a backhanded diss rather than a compliment.

this guy gets it

Thats a straw man argument.

So if i say African Americans on average are taller than the Japanese because of genetics (fact) i open the door for them to say they are smarter than me (opinion)? If some racists want to spout out some bullshyt opinions i cant stop them. Im not worried about that but for some reason it clearly bothers you.

Height is a clear and distinct thing you can measure across a race. Athleticism you can not

Interesting.

Bruh white and Mexican Americans dont respect ping pong either. Dont try and act like its just some black shyt. There is a reason ping pong has been buried on CNBC at 5am and they dont even mention it on the nightly NBC recap show. To us ping pong is what you play at the rec center or in a college dorm half drunk. LOL at the disrespect of ping poing undermining the black race.

not really, if an american was dominating ping pong theyd be showing that in primetime, believe that

the best moment of the olympics yesterday (10000m) was won by a black british muslim and wasnt shown cause no americans where involved. but front page news in england.
