Why are black people the most genetically blessed race?

    Clearly physicaly stronger by a large distance. Just look at sprinting in the Olympics. Has a white person ever won gold? American football. Even an elitest sport like golf(where less than 1% of pros are black) was physically dominated by Tiger woods

    Their muscle mass is better. Their teeth are whiter and stronger etc. That isn't because they take care of their teeth better. Homeless black people on the streets of New York have healthy looking white teeth. Older black people have whiter and healthier teeth

    But they have a much higher incidence of prostate cancer too.

    So it is all swings and roundabouts, plusses and minuses.

    This is a very American thing, the idea that black peoples are stronger and more athletic. On sprinting it is true. The most successful countries at the olympics are generally European or white though.

    American sports are economically stratified, poorer people use them to get out of poverty hence more black people in the larger sports.

    Tiger woods is technically a quadroon so not exactly Kunta Kinte

    Darker skin makes teeth look whiter

    up until the 1950's most sprinters were white and won alot of the time, then white ppl started getting rich and stopped using sports as a way to get to college

    That and racism.

    It's not the colour of their skin, it's their body structure and muscle mass.

    There's also the case that black people in the US are physically stronger and larger than black people in Africa, because only the strong survived the slave ships to the Americas and tough living conditions.

    And even the tiniest of African children can effortlessly win any dance off. These super-cool kids for example..

    You'll have to point out the racism that existed in ethopia and why they were not winning all the long distance races in the olympics between 1900 and 1980. (brief italian ww2 aside)

    so unless the black ethopians were racist against themselves it comes down to a socio economic driver

    Taking part in a dance off signifies lower IQ though.

    I would say every race/ethnicity has it's strengths and weaknesses.



    Blacks seem to all be lactose intolerant or have an allergy to dairy products. It's just evolution and environment.


    You can pick a black athlete like Usain Bolt or Michael Jordan or Mohammed Ali or Pele.


    But then you could pick Latino ones like Cristiano Ronaldo or Oscar Del LaHoya.


    There's no real getting away from the fact that blacks excel in certain sporting disciplines because of their natural strength and speed. Take a look at black female sprinters and hurdlers. They can outrun a a greyhound. The blacks don't seem to be very good at other athletic disciplines though like pole-vaulting or high jump. Long distance / Marathon tough they excel as well (those wiry little Ethopian and Kenya lads can just run forever on autopilot....infinite stamina).


    They're not great at rugby though or swimming of cycling....but then these sports aren't promoted in either black countries OR amongst the black communities of predominantly white countries.


    Golf and Tennis have always been classed as snooty sports for whitey but Tiger and the Williams sisters put paid to that stereotype.


    I suppose it's a combination of environment and background with a healthy dose of discrimination thrown in too. Football, Running, Boxing are working class sports so the black man/woman has more access to these than to tennis, golf, skiing, gymnastics, swimming.

    And while there is no doubting that golf is a sport of extreme skill, precision (I don't play myself but the brother does) I don't think that physical attributes make much of a difference when it comes to being a champion at that sport. Tiger Woods is just brilliant because he's brilliant. Not because of his blackness. He doesn't have any physical features that allow him to hit the ball longer, higher, straighter or with lift and backspin than any other player. He's just better.

    Two of the women's sprint world records, 400 metres and 800 metres are held by white Europeans.

    Black are better sprinters but whites are better swimmers, plenty of plus and minus but I’m sure the more you go into it the more you will be called a racist.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,474 ✭✭✭badabing106

    So it is all swings and roundabouts, plusses and minuses.

    Could the stark socio economic differences be the main factor there?

    You've answered the question as to why black people don't dominate weightlifting. There is zero money in it so they don't go near it

    Weight lifting is a niche sport with no prestige in the western world, and very little money. White Americans don't do well in it either because they have no interest in it. It is a sport dominated by Eastern Europeans because it is an esteemed sport in those cultures

    That's true

    It is surprising that in terms of sheer power and strength that blacks don't dominate those sports

    Strongman, powerlifting, weightlifting should in theory be dominated by blacks

    Or are they only faster and not stronger?
