Michael Johnson - "N1ggas run fast because we come from slaves"

[IGSaint12]

Michael Johnson should really shut his mouth because the argument as to why black are superior in sports can also be made as to why blacks don't do well as other races in math and science.

Is this all genetics? No its not, so he needs to stfu.

this

what a stupid statement from him. If I was a African American track and field star, I'll be offended. why can't black people get credit when they're good at something. Always gotta be because of genes or some shyt. Why can't it just be because of hard work and dedication.

what happened to blackleticism?

I have no idea, I havent done an empirical study on it (you see what I did there)



and there are about, lets guess 10,000 players that have played in the NFL. Out of that figure, there have been 159 father-son combos to play in the league. That accounts for 1.5% of players.

Maybe, just maybe we want to slow down on this "breeding" "genetics" shyt until you have an actual study on it. But this is Coli where dumbfukk ideas and opinions reign supreme so I am sure there will be more dumbfukk and harebrained ideas and opinions.

Everything else about my original post is still true.

Speed and General Explosiveness = Not very trainable. For the most part this is god given or..."genetic"

Muscular Strength and Endurance = Highly trainable.

Coordination = Trainable at young ages.

Its not all genetics but to pretend like it plays no part at all is just as ignorant.

Like someone else has already stated, humans have bred animals and plants for characteristics for thousands of years. Are you one of those people who thinks humans arent animals? Humans can be bred for certain characteristics as well.

so you would allow kkk racist or st0rmfr0nt dudes to make the same argument as to why blacks aren't in high positions in math, science, wealth education?

I guarantee you they could make a good similar argument as michael johnson about black genetics regarding education, but that doesn't mean its true.

I dont give a shyt about what KKK people think. What they think is not going to make me ignore whats on display for anyone with eyes to see. People of african decent are not more athletic only because we work harder at it. Go to a school or a park someday and i guarantee a random sampling of black kids would be more athletic than a random sampling of kids from any other race. Ive seen this shyt all my life and continue to see it to this day.

I dont know why people are so afraid to admit there are differences between the races.

I'm glad it took you forever to think of this lame response

Look here....first of all, I'm from Texas, I grew up having horses and cattle. I understand breeding from the time I was a kid. Futhermore, ppl have been breeding horses/cattle/dogs, etc for THOUSANDS of years which result in what you see today. It has NOTHING to do with the horse being "fast" That shows you dont have a clue what you're discussing. It has to do with looks, coat color/texture, temperament/ability to train, build, and lots other factors other than "fast"

And ppl have been cross producing/pollenating fruit and vegetables for hundreds/thousands of years before they ever understood teh science behind it. So stop with all this "they didnt know all that back then"....it doesnt matter. They knew it worked thru trial and error, so they did it.

It takes nothing more than taking a black history class in college to learn that slaves were bred like animals. The superior male was bred with the superior female in hopes to make a child just as good. Rinse, repeat. Male/females were split like taking cattle to the sale barn, selling them, and putting them on another farm to work/breed better.

And I never said MJ chose his wife based on her "stock". I said it has to with her stock on how the kids would turn out. Some peoples genes are stronger than others.

How old are you? Dont bring a rusty-ass butter knife to a gun fight.

so now you're an expert breeder because you from texas.....whatever

you make claims as being a world class breeder, but then use simplistic and contradictive arguments such as the following

A dumb caveman didnt know the science behind creating a fire from friction by rubbing two sticks together. It just worked...thus he kept doing it.

Likewise, it doesnt take a genius to figure out, "hey, lets take this big human male and breed him with this superior female...like we do our horses, and see what happens." 10 years down the line the kid they made is likely bigger & more athletic than the other kids his age. It doesnt take a scientist to figure this out. How do you suppose people learned how to alter fruits, grains and other foods over thousands of years?

You cant be serious with this post.

One moment you claim you focus on the physical size of the male, but then suggest it takes more than physical qualities to be able to reproduce. Complete contradiction.

you've proven my point. It takes more knowledge about the subjects that you're are breeding, than just the physical qualities. These qualities were not known back then, so mating a "physically" ideal male with a woman, does not guarantee your desired result

Like I asked your partner, what "qualities" were known to determine a good "stock," especially when records of lineage were not usually kept with each slave. Especially those who came off the boat. What qualities determined an ideal female?

You obviously was chilling in the back of your black history class, planning the next morning cattle herd feed, instead of reading the material and applying some levels of rational thought and perspective on the subject matter

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

No guarantees in that the offspring might not choose to play sports.

Again, if there's no guarantees and you're dealing with "chance," then what variables were used by the slave master to better their chance to produce superior off-springs? Especially when you apply perspective to the discussion that the lineage of slaves sold were not kept

Ummmm some breeds of dog were bred doing nothing but mating for physical characterstics. If something worked then they kept doing it. They didnt need to know the exact science behind it.

The problem with the human breeding argument is that it wasnt done on a scale widespread enough and long enough to be responsible for increased athleticism. A couple slave owners in a state wouldnt be able to change the genetics of African Americans country wide.

All I ask are for mofos to apply some rational thought and perspective in their argument. But sadly, they choose not to

bu bu "the NBA has alot of blacks in it, so that proves blacks are more athletic due to slavery"

Its not just the NBA though. Have you not been to a school in recent history? Its on display in kids from 5 up to college.

What is your reasoning for black kids in grade school running laps around the other races? They work harder at sports when they get home?

I know this is a controversial and sensitive subject for blacks but to completely write off the theory isn't realistic since there is actual scientific and historic facts that back it up. I mean the article said that 14 of the 15 100-meter finalists at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing were descendants of slaves. To completely ignore that fact and others that back up the theory would just be ignorant.

I guess y'all believe all humans are equally genetically the same. So if I tried hard enough, I could be as fast as Usain Bolt?

Exactly

I always thought it was hard work and dedication.

Hard work and dedication certainly plays a role but no matter how hard you or me or any other normal person works there's no way we'll ever be as fast as Usain Bolt or as good at basketball as MJ, etc. This is where enetics comes into play. We could work just as hard as these professional athletes do and do the exact same training regimen but we would never be able to make it to their level.
