So, if a mixed-race person does well in sports, it prolly owes more to the genes of the athletically gifted race.</i><br /><br />Maybe this "fact" is widely misunderstood among insecure, ill-informed and desperately-need-to-believe in myths of racial supremacy fanatics like yourself. Again, just a few facts for you:<br /><br />* No African or even typical 80% African-American has won the "world's greatest athlete" in living memory if ever despite the vast over representation of blacks in track and field feeder events and their clear advantage in 40% of the events. <br /><br />Euro do the best with several exceptional performances by Euros or NE Asians with a small W.African admixture. Other comprehensive athletic events like Triathelons or Ironman competitions also strongly favor the more generalized Euro phenotype (swimming, cycling and running).<br /><br />* Several of the most European 4 soccer teams are contending to be the World Cup champion. A game which anyone can play with just a ball and is the most popular game for over a billion blacks in Africa and the many more millions outside Africa. All but one African team eliminated in the first round and most probably wouldn't have even been in the tournament if not for slots reserved by region.<br /><br />* Euros dominate all strength sports like powerlifting, strongman, shotput, hammer, discus, etc. Since you particularly like to disparage "geeky" Japanese, note that <a rel="nofollow">there have been 10 Japanese and Chinese world champions powerlifters in the past 20yrs but not a single African or Carribean (perhaps the highest W.African genetic concentration outside Africa)</a>.<br /><br />* Euros dominate nearly all fighting sports like boxing, wrestling, and UFC (less). Your lame excuse that imaginary great black boxers with no major crossover sport opportunity would rather drive taxis or sling hash than deign to whip Euros is a joke. Again, since you hold Asians up as the lamest of athletes, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_world_boxing_champions" rel="nofollow">note that there are 4 current Japanese world boxing champions and 0 from the entire continent of Africa and 0 from high W.African genetic Carribean nations</a>. Although again, a W.African/Euro (esp Hispanic) mix seems to be a good mix in the lighter divisions.<br /><br />* Euro/N.African whites and E.African blacks dominate all endurance sports. Your superman W.African athletes are invisible in these types of long distance events.<br /><br />W.Africans are unparalleled athletes when it comes to their niche in sprinting, jumping and short burst activities. To say, as you do, this means they also have the best endurance, are the strongest, best all around, etc when they demonstratively are not is willful ignorance.<br /><br />American mega-sports, their rules and their selective enforcement of them have evolved to favor W.African phenotypes over all others.<br /><br />For example, your beloved NFL has very short burst of activity between many long rests micromanaged by an army of smart guys controlling every aspect of the players. There are unlimited subsitutions, long commercial breaks, extremely granular roles and even then players rest on the sidelines half of the actual clock time. <br /><br />These elaborate well-staged plays with so many specialized roles result in very marketable highlight reels for the culturally initiated. However, this extreme complexity is a measure of its artificiality and limits it's innate appeal for non-Americans.<br /><br /><br /><br /> hardly the measure of true overall athleticism.<br /><br /><br /><br />Some lucky combination of W.African and Euro genes results in some supreme athletes in sports that are not like Ali and Jordan (who looks like your average AfAm carrying 14-20% Euro genes).kakanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-84578882897570474672010-07-07T20:33:54.247-07:002010-07-07T20:33:54.247-07:00Kaka, I have been reading the comments on this top...Kaka, I have been reading the comments on this topic.

They all get their EDGE from whiteness.<br /><br />You are such a self-delusional race supremists.</i><br /><br />No, fool. It's widely understood that blacks are stronger, faster, and more athletic. So, if a mixed-race person does well in sports, it prolly owes more to the genes of the athletically gifted race. <br /><br />If a mixed black-asian guy does well in football, do you think it's the black or asian genes which did the trick? Lots of pure blacks in NFL but how many pure Asians? <br /><br />It's possible that in some cases, a mix of blackness and whiteness can lead to something even better. Maybe Ali was so great because he wasn't all black but had some white-ish genes, which filled in certain genetic gaps. <br />Even so, given the fact that dark blacks have been better at boxing than pale whites, I'd say black genes had more to do with his success. <br /><br />There have been many great mixed race athletes, but most of them tended to have black genes. <br />Compare people of white/asian mix, white/mexican mix, white/arab mix, and white/indian mix WITH people of white/black mix. Why is it that people of white/black mix tend to be better at sports than people of other racial blends? It must be the BLACK thing that must be crucial to the mix, doncha think? <br /><br />Besides, plenty of pure blacks are superb at sports... such as Michael Jordan, Rafer Johnson, Joe Frazier, Pele, Miljain Lopez, etc. <br />Blacks haven't had access to all forms of sport, but in ones in which they participate in big numbers, they generally dominate. <br /><br />Given that blacks are only 15% of the US population, isn't that all the more amazing? <br /><br />It isn't supremacism, it is factualism. It is a fact that blacks are athletically superior to whites in most events. <br />Sure, there are events where non-blacks dominate. <br />Men's field hockey is dominated by Hindus. Women's team handball is dominated by South Korea. But those are games which the best athletes around the world show NO interest. Only a fool would say hindus are naturally better at field hockey or South Korean women have a special genetic talent for handball. <br /><br />All things being equal, with people of all races having the same access to the sport, blacks are, in most cases, better than other races. Enough already. Live with it. Stop licking your wounded pride.

So, BEST black talent stay away from decathalon.</i><br /><br />Nobody grows up being "into" things like the javelin, hammer throw or discus, black or white. They wind up in those events because they are just not good enough at the main track events everyone starts out on, the running events.<br /><br />Where do the huge numbers of blacks that don't make the cut at all the various distances running events go? They generally don't have the skills and phenotypes for big money sports (don't confuse wide receivers who dabble in track with true track stars). For these guys, it's either track or anonymously scratching out an existence somewhere.<br /><br />Club and national teams sift through these all these failed black speedsters looking for anyone with more generalized talents since the specialized W.African phenotypes gives them an an unparalleled advantage in 40% of the decathalon events:<br /><br />Day 1<br /> * 100 meters (W.African)<br /> * Long Jump (W.African)<br /> * Shot Put (Euro)<br /> * High Jump (Euro)<br /> * 400 meters (W.African)<br /><br />Day 2<br /><br /> * 110 meter hurdles (W.African)<br /> * Discus (Euro)<br /> * Pole Vault (Euro)<br /> * Javelin (Euro)<br /> * 1500 meters (E&N.African/White and Black)<br /><br />What is surprising is how Euro the decathlon is given how clearly disadvantaged they are in 40% of the events vis-a-vis W.Africans. In otherwords, the highly specialized pure W.African phenotype must be absolutely terrible at the other strength and highly technical events to never win the "the world's greatest athlete" competition (I don't understand the high jump enough to understand why Euros dominate it).<br /><br />I'm sure that phrase sticks in your craw and you'll just fall back on that old chestnut that anything your master race isn't the best at is because they are not interested or that the potential best black athletes decided to become theoretical physicists or brain surgeons.<br /><br />What a frail, frail ego you must have to insist against all the evidence presented that the W.African phenotype is the best one over all others in every category and every sport.<br /><br />You've been fooled by American big-money sports which hugely favors specialized W.African advantages in sprinting and jumping into making unwarranted generalizations.kakanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-37020479879214238312010-07-07T13:45:04.848-07:002010-07-07T13:45:04.848-07:00"Your tomfoolery--trying to convince yourself..."Your tomfoolery--trying to convince yourself that blacks are NOT better at sports--is just too laughable.

If they're Nordic, than limiting "white" to Nordic makes perfect sense; if they're not, then limiting the white club to Nordic's is "dumb" or evil. </i><br /><br />Haha, Fred shoots and he scores. Swish.<br /><br />I'd bet good money I grew up around a higher proportion of nordics (~98%) than, well, 98% of posters here. (I was watching a rerun of a major sporting final from the 80s a couple months back and the crowd was a sea of nordic blondness.) It took me the longest time to figure just how the hell some considered s. europeans "the same race" as nords. It makes sense now: as nords dilute and as the number of non-Europeans rises the differences are perceived as less significant. The thing about trying to get "accepted" into the most exclusive definition of whiteness is this: say you are, so what? Race is about feeling. I simply cannot believe most s. europeans, and particularly most s.e. europeans, could feel anything in the way of actual racial/ethnic closeness with nordics that would approach what they feel around their own type -- unless they're the most miserably insecure creatures on earth and do such a good job faking it that they eventually "make it."Silvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-30909522093871651572010-07-07T10:43:18.053-07:002010-07-07T10:43:18.053-07:006 titles won by Dan O'Brian who is primarily w...<i>6 titles won by Dan O'Brian who is primarily white. He is described as half-AfAm but his picture shows he is about 80% white with thin straight brown hair, pencil thin lips, prominent nose and yellowish skin standing next to Jessie Tompkins, a typical AfAm (80%Af/20%Euro).<br /><br />3 titles won by Bryan Clay who is 50% Japanese and possibly 40% 10% Euro going by US averages of white ad-mixture in AfAms. His kids by his white wife look 100% non-Mediterrian European so he likely has more Euro and less Afro genes than the averages would predict. <br /><br />0 titles won by pure Africans or even typical African Americans (80%Af/20%Euro genes).</i><br /><br />For one thing, most blacks don't enter into decathalon. They aint into javelin, hammer throw, and that stuff. So, BEST black talent stay away from decathalon.<br /><br />Most decathletes are white, but isn't it funny that those with some black genes tend to win over those who are purely white? <br />Could Clay have won if he were purely Japanese? <br /><br />The dominant guy in the 50s was some black dude(who lit the torch in the 84 Olympics). In 1980 and 1984, some half-black British guy won. He may have won again in 1988 or he would have won if his pole vault didn't break. <br /><br />It doesn't matter if Dan O'Brien is 80% white. His EDGE came from blackness. (Funny how white nationalists socially reject people who are 20% black as non-white but then count them as 'white' in sports. I suppose Joe Louis was white too since he was light skinned. And OJ Simpson was white too since his nose wasn't broad.) <br /><br />Black success in decathlon and penthlon(or whatever it's called) is all the more amazing since few blacks participate in them. Take Jackie Kersie Joyner who went up against the best white atletes and beat them all like 2 or 3 times. <br />Black participation in something like decath and penth is like 1 to 20(vis-a-vis whites), but many of the top athletes have been black. <br /><br />How is it that many blacks dominate sports--like tennis--where so few blacks play while only rarely does a white guy dominate in a sport where most are black? Larry Bird was one. The guy who won the 400 m sprint in Athnes was another, but he lost to blacks in Beijing. <br /><br />UFC, for instance, is mostly white, but the top athletes are disproportionately black. Anderson Silva didn't just beat Rich Franklin. It was man-rape. It was like a man beating up a little boy.asasdfsadfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-72544129008764918442010-07-07T10:41:43.559-07:002010-07-07T10:41:43.559-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-38835185584234841302010-07-07T10:26:30.868-07:002010-07-07T10:26:30.868-07:00Gay or not, Asians are better at table tennis and ...<i>Gay or not, Asians are better at table tennis and badmitten because they reportedly have faster reaction times than your "proud Negro".

It doesn't mean whites are better skaters but few blacks have access to the sport. There are very very few blacks in speed skating but one managed to win gold in two olympics, and he's most certainly not the best black athletes. If the best black athletes entered speed skating, the records would be changed overnight.

But it calls for similar kind of talent and strength, at least for some positions. The ability to push, pull, grab, take down. Defensive linemen guys in football are built for wrestling. <br /><br />Your tomfoolery--trying to convince yourself that blacks are NOT better at sports--is just too laughable.

Still, the evidence shows that the composite nature of all 10 events strongly favors Euro phenotypes in stark contrast to straight sprinting (W.Africans) or long distance running (E.Africans).kakanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-28389922011336079132010-07-06T23:55:13.159-07:002010-07-06T23:55:13.159-07:00asdfasdfasdfad said...
You appear to neither know...<i>asdfasdfasdfad said...</i><br /><br />You appear to neither know about soccer nor have watched any of these games. Again, which game did you see where the clearly more athletic and better performing team lost? <br /><br />The talent of a team is measured by their performance on the pitch and the score, not by reputation, height or your perceptive concept of geekiness.<br /><br />RE: Japan vs Denmark<br /><br />Height in and of itself has little to do with soccer skills except for goalies. Your comment that the Japanese players are small and "geeky" is too ignorant to even address.<br /><br />Japan fielded a decent team this year. They defeated Cameroon 1-0 (#19 world) and held the Dutch (#4) to 0-1 so it wasn't surprising they beat the Danish (#36) 3-1 who had a slightly worse record.<br /><br />RE: Italy, France and England<br /><br />They all put in terrible performances compared to their reputations and potential. All deserved to tie or lose the games they did if you watched them. <br /><br />The wealthy, spoiled and ever distracted Brits called in their performace per usual, didn't win a match and were crushed by Germany 4-1. The French publically self-destructed. The Italians showed nothing special that warranted anything other than the early exit they got.<br /><br />RE: Brasil vs NED<br /><br />Again, if you watched the game, Brasil(#1 world) in no way played a considerably better game than NED (#4 world). The 2-1 result was reflective of the talent each team put on display.<br /><br />RE: Portugal vs Ivory Coast<br /><br />Outside their drubbing of N.Korea, Portugal didn't score a single goal against their other 3 opponents during this WC (BRA, Spain, Ivory Coast). They pretty much sucked - just not nearly as much as N.Korea in their own epic failure against Portugal.<br /><br />You are a moron for suggesting that no country can be that good at soccer unless they are also good at American football or basketball. They are entirely different sports that demand different skills and phenotypes. It's as stupid as claiming Americans could never create good films or music because they don't do good Kubuki theater.kakanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-6298807930773253472010-07-06T21:58:33.999-07:002010-07-06T21:58:33.999-07:00"P.S.

How many of those huge and powerful Nigerians would you find?</i><br /><br />Most Nigerians are poor and don't eat so good. Even so, for a poor people, they look mean and scary. Compare a famished Nigerian with a famished Vietnamese or Pole. The Nigerian is meaner and stronger. <br /><br />In the US, blacks eat pretty good and tend to be taller than whites. And they outperform whites in most of the highest paying and prestigious sports. <br /><br />Lee Haney was one tough looking mofo. And Apollo Creed and Mr T. would have whupped Stallone in a real fight. <br /><br />And decathalon winners have been blacks or black-gened folks. The British guy in the 1980s was half-African.
