LaydeezmanCris said:Please..... I hate to harp on stereotypes but most white guys (at least the ones i know) acknowledge the fact that, on a whole, men of West African descent are physically and athletically superior. This is not to say that Al Sharpton will defeat Newt Gingrich in every sport but the average black is more fit than the average white.
No white male has ever run 100 meters in less than 13 seconds. At least 200 black men have done so in the Olympics. The last time a white guy held the 100m world record, Khrushchev was ensconced in the Kremlin. The NFL is 65% black, with its best players as proportional to its racial makeup. The NBA is 75% black, and its best players black as well. In the 1998 and 2002 Soccer World Cups, the winners (France and Brazil respectively) have had significant numbers of blacks. I could remain here all day if i decided to discuss black prowess in sports so i've made my point.
EbonySunGoddess said:the reason i disagree is because i think whites are just better at some sports while blacks are bettter at others......alot of blacks go into weight lifting but whites tend to win the weight lifting contests......and as far as swimming goes....whites tend to be better at that because of the way their bodies are built. blacks tend to be better at short distance sprinting while whites are better at marathons and disk throwing eventhough you have blacks who go into that as well. whites also tend to do better at wrestling. blacks are better at basketball because of our height and the fact that we have quicker reflexes. blacks also tend to be better at soccer and baseball. asians and russians dominate gymnastics.

I agree, but when I mentioned this on another board as a reason why white males are threatened by black men, people went ballistic. No one disagreed with what I said exactly, but they wouldn't acknowledge it, either. The board is mostly ww, and I'd hazard a guess that if wm were on there, they'd never agree with my statement. As it was, they put up a smokescreen by saying that generalizing is bad, believing that there are physical and behavior differences b/w races is wrong and racist, etc. I think racism is using those differences to prove that one race is better than another or to control a race of people. I'm not one to buy into stereotypes, but I do believe there are some differences b/w races. Just from my personal standpoint, I feel it is reasonable to say that black males are better at certain sports due to physical differences. I do agree with you that black males generally seem to be more fit than men of other races, so I guess I agree that they are physically superior. However, that brings you to the better in bed stereotype. If black males are indeed physically superior, then that must extend to the bedroom, right? I haven't slept with enough of each race race to know if there is any truth to that stereotype or not. But, just from reading some of the threads on this board, it seems like there is no clear verdict. I would guess that if bm are physically superior that would have to extend to their sexual prowess as well. I'm just curious to see what others think - I see at least one black man believes the physical stereotype to be true and doesn't see any problems with it. I think the problem many whites have with it is that it makes white men look as if they are deficient physically (someone used those words exactly) and have to compensate for it somehow. It's taboo to bring it up because white men do seem to have more ego issues than bm, and don't like their masculinity to be challenged.
Ebony - I think that may partly have to do with the fact that whites and blacks tend to get into different sports. For instance, not many black men play tennis. So, white males are thought of as better at that sport, but if more black men were into tennis... you get the drift. Hispanics are known for being great at soccer, but most of the interest in the sport tends to lie in Hispanic regions.

Now I don't know about the wrestling thing because black people do well in Olympic styled wrestling I believe. It's just that beleive it or not but alot of bros that would like to wrestle in high school generally are stirred towards playing football. :idea:

You make a curious point.
On sports, I believe that because of their relative poverty, BM, the participate and excel only in those sports that do not require a great deal of expensive equipment.
