yup
White guys good at Hockey/Nascar/Baseball/football/basketball = Talent and hard work
Latino guys good at soccer/baseball = talent and hard work
Asians(including Indians) good at math and science = hard work and talent
Blacks good at anything? = Genetics.
Who needs white supremacists when you have some blacks willing to take their spot?

Be clear, what Michael Johnson said was dumb.
However, anybody thinking genes has nothing to do with athletic ability is just being dishonest. It's not all skill. It's not all hard work. Some of it is just the natural gifts you were born with.
I just don't think those genetic gifts have much to do with slavery.

Jamaicans was descendants of slaves.
Chris Rock speak on this too.
And USA Blacks/Jamaicans don't even really run long distance like the Kenyans, but if they did they would be right up there with the Kenyans.
Chris Rock about black slaves - YouTube
perfect example of what happens when you control the media, you thus control how people think. Clown azz, lazy in their rational mofos will use an "entertainment" moment as proof for facts
But when you have the
face, during the "comedic" moments, these same clowns be talmbowt "lighting up bruh, it's just comedy, just entertainment, just music" 
Exactly, black people arent more athleteic simply because we work harder at the sport. I think its quite evident looking at a lot of people in the NBA that hard work didnt put them in that position.
LOL at the white runningback, cornerback, and wide reciever becoming extinct because they dont work as hard as the black kids.

nature vs nurture
asians are pushed into academics hard and more often as kids
blacks in other countries don't have baseball/american football/etc so they usually end up in what takes less resources to play like straight sprinting / soccer (u can kick anything around and call it a soccer ball)
white people in america generally can go into whatever sport they want as they are exposed to them all and usually have the money to.
white ppl don't usually have to look at a pro athletic career to get them out of poverty so they don't try as hard and train as hard as their black/asian/whatever counter parts

that's the point. Genetics are not guaranteed results due to some consciously made efforts by humans. But because most folks, including many blacks, are not conscious of black history beyond slavery and the civil rights act, they feel comfortable with explaining things from a minimized/distorted view of black history
LOL at you viewing the world from sport goggles, while ignoring that those white runningback, cornerback, and wide receiver, also have more non-sport based career role models and certain industry access off the playing fields. Genetics alone don't mean shyt, you have too many examples of non-black athletes that dominate sport events. But because basketball supports your argument, then you will focus on it

Slavery part is B.S. IMO. You got plenty of first and second generation West Africans in the NFL/NBA with crazy athleticism. Guys like Igoudala, Osi, Asomugha, Atogwe, Prince, Okafor aren't descendants of slaves. I'd wager if West Africans cared about sprinting and trained for it, they'd probably be as competitive as the Americans and Caribbeans.

Nobody gets in the NBA because of genetics.
Every single player in the league knows more about hard work than you or me. YES... white football players are dying off because white kids don't work as hard as black kids at football. They don't have to.

I can reel off a list of like 20 guys in the NBA simply because they're tall and no other reason.

Kwame Brown, Eddie Curry, and Tyrus Thomas got into the NBA due to hard work and not genetics?
So asians are shorter than Americans because they choose to be? LOL at yall refusing to belive genetics have anything to do with your physical attributes.
So little black kids are faster than little asian and white kids because they work harder? The 9 year old white kid knows he doesnt have to run fast because he can be a doctor?
Six one way, half a dozen the other.
On one hand, you can say African ppl are naturally more athletic, lean, and muscular just by default given the way we evolved and adapted to the environment in Africa. I think that's partly why Colombus and others figured we'd make good slaves.
On the other hand, you can also say that the way we were bred like animals during slavery and ripped apart from family to family for purposes of making some type of superman/superwoman slave also is an effect.
You'd be silly to deny either aspect.
Funny thing is, that harsh inhumane treatment has now come back around to our ADVANTAGE b/c now we're more athletic and have taken over whichever sports we choose to play in mass.
And those of you in here babbling about hardwork, y'all clearly didnt grow up in the hood or around the hood. A 6 or 7 year old black kid is often way faster in a footrace down the street than a white kid at that age. That has nothing to do with hardwork as much as genetics.
The hardwork comes in when ur talking about competing against other black athletes(and a select few white athletes) to earn ur spot.
