And as has been repeated numerous times within this thread...

If you're going to ask a question, have the balls to answer it yourself before asking other people to do your dirty work for you.

I have answered the question; You know this already ( and you yourself stated MY POSITION in one of your previous posts)Now what is YOUR rationale for the entirely disproportionate representation of AA males in the NBA and NFL?

suggests that mandates won't work.

But WHY don't these mandates and programs ( preferred lending, government contract set asides) work as well for AA's as they do for say Asians/ Indians??

But you didn't support it with evidence.

You want my answer? Because of Bigfoot. And pixies.

There, see what it's like when someone makes a claim but can't back it up with facts?

Why would being "white" be considered by the officers of any public company as a critical element of good management?

Big Foot and pixies comprise the AA athletes that partake in athletic competition in the NFL and NBA.....interesting. The facts are the PERCENTAGES.

Well besides thicker bone density and higher fast twitch muscle fiber percentages, here is some reading that may be of interest to you delusional and entirely too PC LEFTISTS.

Please read this article and then proceed to answer the question:

Why do YOU think that AA athletes are over represented in the NBA and NFL relative to their percentage in the general population?

A small excerpt...................."Michael Johnson stirred quite a controversy last month in London when the 400-meter world record holder postulated that black sprinters benefit from the outsized presence of ACTN3. The “speed gene” as it’s been dubbed, makes fast twitch muscles twitch fast. Lacking the ACTN3 protein does not seem to have any harmful health effects, but does affect running ability. Scientists conclude that it is almost impossible for someone who lacks the ACTN3 protein to become an elite sprinter"

You're mocking comment about "SCIENCE!" is coming back to haunt you now isn't it?

White men benefit more from exercise than blacks, when it comes to reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer, according to the findings of a surprising new study.

The research, published online in the American Cancer Society journal Cancer, found working out can markedly cut white men's prostate cancer risks and the odds that they’ll contract more serious forms of the disease. But the results showed the benefits don’t to apply to African-American men, which may explain the racial disparity in prostate cancer between blacks and whites.


"These findings that African-American men may not benefit from exercise the way Caucasian men do could be a contributor to why ... race is a risk factor for prostate cancer and aggressive prostate cancer,” said lead researcher Lionel L. Bañez, M.D., of the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center. “Further studies are needed to investigate the mechanism behind this racial disparity in deriving cancer-related benefits from exercise which disfavors African-American men."

And IQ level is a determinant in success and wealth in Western 1st world cultures.


http://www.thedailybeast.com/newswee.../10/23/iq.html

"Murray and Herrnstein say the evidence of a black-white IQ gap is overwhelming. They think the difference helps explain why many blacks seem destined to remain mired in poverty, and they insist that whites and blacks alike must face up to the reality of black intellectual disadvantage. Nevertheless, they maintain that the differences should have no bearing on the way individual whites and blacks view each other. ""We cannot think of a legitimate argument why . . . whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental,'' they write."

I realize that these articles all deal in INCONVENIENT TRUTHS for you PC drones, so I'm sorry for shaking the foundations of your political existence with SCIENCE.

You obviously didn't see the post that this was in response to....go back and read what was quoted above my post.

I do realize that within this thread I have essentially informed those who believed the liberal mythos that has been preached since the 1960's that "Santa Claus isn't real"..........So in a sense, today is a life changing day for a lot of you. But you'll thank me later...

txtebow is just trying to defend his bigotry.

Take Israel as an example. Ashkenazi are half of the Jewish population (30% of population before arrival of 1 million of Russian Jews vs 60% of Sephardi and Mizrahi) and yet virtually all of Israeli elite are Ashkenazi with few Sephardim. And there isn't any legal restrictions or societal organization preventing Sephardim to secede. All presidents and PM were Ashkenazi, current president Shimon Peres, PM Netanyahu, speaker of Knesset Reuven Rivlin, president of Supreme Court Dorit Beinisch, Bank of Israel governor Stanley Fischer, Chief of General Staff Benny Gantz, defence minister Ehud Barak and so on are all Ashkenazi. Politics, economy, education and science, security elite is composed of Ashkenazi with few Sephardim. IQ explaines that.


http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...098351,00.html

According to a study performed by Cambridge University called, "From Chance to Choice: Genetic and Justice," Ashkenazi Jews have a median IQ of 117.
That’s 10 points higher than the “accepted” IQ of their biggest competition, Northeast Asia, and 20% higher than the global average.


The Ashkenazim make up approximately 80% of all Jews with descendants from Medieval Germany and throughout Europe.

txtebow, you do realize that IQ cannot be distilled down to a single number, nor does it have an objective and testable meaning.

Bigotry? Hardly. Explaining to left wing Kool-Aid drinkers who have been banging their heads against the wall trying to solve the same issue since the 1960's why their efforts are fruitful for Asians/Indians but largely FRUITLESS for AA's yes, that's what I'm doing here.

And can anyone, anyone at all answer my question:

Why do YOU feel that AA males are disproportionally represented in the NBA and NFL relative to their general population %?

You do realize that higher IQ scores generally are reflected by higher INCOMES right?

The question is irrelevant because you failed to adequately tie it to the topic at hand, which is "Wealth inequality between blacks and whites grows". You're insinuating that sports teams choose people because of qualities that "being black" may provide them, and in doing so, suggesting that the reason there is wealth inequality between whites and blacks is because "being back" is a bigger disadvantage when it comes to wealth. Yet you don't discuss what qualities "being black" doesn't have that make up for this disparity.

Please, enlighten us on the topic at hand, which is your exact reasoning for wealth inequality amongst the general population.

Don't forget to show your work!

"This week the Florida Board of Education approved the new race-based standards for all of the 2.6 million students that attend the state’s 3,629 public schools. The mandate says that by 2018, 90 percent of Asian students, 88 percent of white students, 81 percent of Hispanic students, and 74 percent of black students are to be reading on grade level."

Houghtam, you're batting 1.000 on being DEAD WRONG! Once you answer this question in a rational way, I will show you EXACTLY how it ties in directly with the main article of this thread............
