I think it is safe to assume that there have been quiet afew blacks that have tried Hockey as a living. I would assume they would be dominating hockey by now, under the belief that blacks are better at everything that is physical then any other race.
Just shut the **** up, jesus ****ing christ atsch Alot of young black youths you know are pushed to participate in hockey? Maybe you can answer this simple question, the question that the others have just ignored every time I asked it: As MMA grows, more and more youths will be attracted and steared towards it. Many of these new kids, would've otherwise went to football, basketball, baseball. Do you think that 10-15 years from now, if a good % of black youths that would normally be competeing for spots in the NFL and NBA are now competing in MMA that the competition will be much greater and the talent will be far better then what is there now?
What about the Dart players? Hand eye coordination. Thats 'Raw' talent :deal This content is protected
This is what you've resorted to in this thread atsch I'm not the one that brought up hand eye coordination, one of you claimed that blacks weren't superior in it, actually claimed blacks were inferior. I simply brought up basketball players, baseball players, tiger woods what do you think...huh wide recievers??? You guys brought this up, not me atsch
You are right (at least partially) BewareofDawg. There is some scientific evidence that "blacks" have a better athletic ability than "whites". But one have to be precise here, because not all blacks do. It's the western-african black people (Nigeria, Ghana, ...) and their descendants who are better at disciplines where you have to combine speed and strength like basketball, football, sprint etc. You just have to look at the history of sprint. Its probably the purest athletic discipline. No white man ever ran 100m under 10 sec, but hundreds (perhaps thousands) of blacks did. AFAIK these were all people with west-african roots. Considering the fact that there were much more white sprinters in history than blacks and that on average white sprinters had better training conditions it really is remarkable. No statistics-tricks here. But it's pretty easy to see if you are not prejudiced and open your eyes. Look at guys like Mayweather, Bryant, Jordan etc. - the way they move, their coordination, their combination of speed and strength - there are just no white people like that...
Look at guy like Bill Kazmaier, Jon Pall Sigmarsson, Magnus Ver Magnusson, Mariusz Pudzianoswki, their combination of strenght and endurance- there are just no black people like that
Well, you are talking strength here. Not strength and speed as a combination we are arguing about here. You can gain strength through hard training - strength is very much a function of training. White men can of course be stronger than black men if they train harder. What about the sprinters where pure athleticism counts?
yep you are right there apart from the fact, that yes you can gain strenght, but you are born to be the world strongest man, not made. You need to have that special body to do so..Mariusz Pudzianowski is a training machine, yes, but he had the genetic was just pointing out, that track and field, arent the only important athletic category.
What you pointed out about the genetic base is right as well - I think we somehow agree then BTW Pudzianowski is probably not the best example as he is known to be a heavy steroid user
Yea, we got it, Dawg, BoxingVM, you think blacks are genetically superior in every way. Your opinion is pretty clear. Don't none of you other mofos call them inferior in anything, or you're racist.
