When your sixth grade teacher asks you to write a thesis (I'm assuming that's the last grade you completed), do you get half of the way through the paper and say "now what do you think about X? Let me know and then you can read the dramatic conclusion of my thesis?"

Show your work.

As the author of this thread, I am in effect "THE TEACHER". (just another concept that escapes you)

So answer the question that has been posed to you time and time again.

No. You're posing a theory. You need to support it. You look like a fool if you don't. But sure keep barking.

I look like a fool? I haven't supported my theory?How many more links do you need Now I understand why you haven't responded to my question...you lack reading COMPREHENSION skills...no wonder you are so easy to inject Politically correct nonsense into ...

[txtebow]

You gave it your best shot (certainly not a good shot)......

I'm sure it would be very difficult to find an African-American today who is 100% African. Sorry.

Where did your links prove anything? I saw no support for your claim that black people are poor because they are black.

You sir.

Are a moron.

[cutthemdown]

What about the wealth inequality between gingers and non gingers. I heard it's really bad from this black ginger dude I know.

His reasoning of this is from that youtube clip he posted where the lady determined that blacks on average had a lower IQ score then whites and asians. But many said that that was bogus to do many different factors. He thinks blacks are not as wealthy because they are not as smart.

The only reason I keep reading his threads is because the boobies in the avatar keep me coming back for more, lol.

Do you think blacks are genetically superior to whites when it comes to jumping and running? Or do you think those differences we see are environmental?

Oh I absolutely know what he's claiming, even though he's never actually come out and made it verbally, because he's a coward.

And I don't know about you, but when I need a reliable and accurate test on how intelligent someone is, an IQ test is the first place I look. But which IQ test? There are so many of them. Do we use Stanford-Binet? OLSAT? Wechsler? What about Woodcock-Johnson? Sorry, I really just wanted to say Woodcock-Johnson. I mean, standardized tests are really good at determining how smart an individual is...which is why we have so many of them.

Correlation, causation, yadda yadda.

In January of 1988, Jimmy the Greek made the following racist comment to an NBC affiliate WRC-TV and was subsequently fired by his CBS employers:

The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid.

Thanks for that, Arch.

Even for the WRP forum, this is Butt material. Hell, we need something lower than that for this guy's threads.

A lot of dumb people here.

You do realize the Jimmy the Greek quote" was laid out there just to attract the "bottom feeders" like you?

I wonder why LABF, Spider and Req haven’t nibbled on this bait......

Read your post. Didn't think anything of it. My statement still stands. We already knew that though.

No, not necessarily. There are plenty of fast white sprinters and I believe the world record high jumper (Jesse Williams) is white.




Just because he doesn't have a basketball in his hands and dunking I guess disqualifies him from your pool. And being athletic is not just about jumping and sprinting. What about dexterity, balance, endurance, power and strength. Whites constantly win the strongest man in the world competitions. Plenty of whites who excel at gymnastics, which to me, could be the best barometer at judging overall athletic ability.

So why are there so many more blacks in the NBA, well, first off I believe that is changing. Since the game is more global now, you see many more people playing it, and getting good at it. Look at how many European players are now coming into the league vs 20 years ago. Secondly, alot of blacks are not wealthy and playing basketball is one thing that doesn't cost money. They go down to the local whoops and play all day long. Way more then whites do. I've played basketball since I was very young, playing in cities like Detroit, Denver, Omaha, Phoenix and Cleveland (father was in military so we moved around alot). In areas where there were alot of black people, the courts were always full, constantly, all day long and into the night. In areas where there were alot of whites, the court was full sometimes, at peak hours and then it was just here and there, maybe some 1 on 1 stuff. So it's a case where you just have a higher % of black people playing basketball much more often and longer during their childhoods. So it's a lifestyle and social scene thing.

So the same is true with intelligence. There is nothing in a black persons brain that makes them less able to have intelligence then a white or asian. You have to look at outside factors, such as youth nutrition, quality of schools and education, etc.

I don't know where you guys are trying to go with this stuff. There are supreme athletes in all races. There are supreme intelligence in all races. How about Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson, maybe one of today's most brilliant astrophysicists. He's black and he's way smarter then me and probably anybody else on this forum, how do you explain that if he supposedly has a genetically inferior brain.

It would be equally difficult to find whites without black ancestry. Approximately 75% of people who can trace their ancestry in the United States back 200 years have mixed ancestry. Pretty much everyone else is the ancestor of an immigrant.

Genetics
Belly Button Key to Sports Success
Jul 12, 2010 03:00 AM ET

THE GIST

- Belly-button placement can give some athletes a competitive advantage over others.

- The placement of the navel varies among athletes of different ethnic origins.

- Whether an athlete had an innie or an outie didn't affect performance.

Scientists have found the reason why some athletes dominate on the running track and others in the swimming pool: It's in their belly buttons, a study published Monday shows.

What's important is not whether an athlete has an innie or an outie but where his or her navel is in relation to the rest of the body, says the study published in the International Journal of Design and Nature and Ecodynamics

The navel is the center of gravity of the body, and given two runners or swimmers of the same height, one black and one white, "what matters is not total height but the position of the belly button, or center of gravity," Duke University professor Andre Bejan, the lead author of the study, told AFP.

"It so happens that in the architecture of the human body of West African-origin runners, the center of gravity is significantly higher than in runners of European origin," which puts them at an advantage in sprints on the track, he said.

Individuals of West African-origin have longer legs than European-origin athletes, which means their belly buttons are three centimeters (1.18 inches) higher than whites', said Bejan.

That means the black athletes have a "hidden height" that is three percent greater than whites', which gives them a significant speed advantage on the track.

"Locomotion is essentially a continual process of falling forward, and mass that falls from a higher altitude, falls faster," Bejan explained.

In the pool, meanwhile, whites have the advantage because they have longer torsos, making their belly buttons lower in the general scheme of body architecture.

"Swimming is the art of surfing the wave created by the swimmer," said Bejan.

"The swimmer who makes the bigger wave is the faster swimmer, and a longer torso makes a bigger wave. Europeans have a three-percent longer torso than West Africans, which gives them a 1.5 percent speed advantage in the pool," he said.

Asians have the same long torsos as Europeans, giving them the same potential to be record-breakers in the pool.

But they often lose out to whites because whites are taller, said Bejan.

Many scientists have avoided studying why blacks make better sprinters and whites better swimmers because of what the study calls the "obvious" race angle.

But Bejan said the study he conducted with Edward Jones, a professor at Howard University in Washington, and Duke graduate Jordan Charles, focused on the athletes' geographic origins and biology, not race, which the authors of the study call a "social construct."

Bejan is white, originally from Romania, and Jones is black, from South Carolina.

They charted and analyzed nearly 100 years of records in men's and women's sprinting and 100-meter freestyle swimming for the study.

If they don't succeed, at least they have dad's connections in finance to fall back on, and the college fund that's been put aside... oh wait.

It's the same in every culture regardless of race.

Also, you're incredibly ****ing racist.

Discussing performance differences among the RACES based on SCIENCE is an adult discussion, just as discussing the underlying cause of wealth disparity is an adult conversational piece...there is no room for pu$$y footing, political correctness or calling someone racist. I didn't design Florida's new educational system; I didn't fudge studies on testosterone levels and I didn't fudge any studies relating IQ level to income levels.........GROW UP. We're not all the same.

How many professional football/basketball players came from the top 10% wealthiest families in the USA (income of about 250k/year)?


10% of 53 means there's at least 5 players on the Denver Broncos, and 170 in the NFL that came from wealthy families. Can you name them?
