Makes you wonder why black americans dominate in athletics. Might be true! 
I call that pretty lazy reasoning on MJ’s part. A laziness that might need a few lashes of the cane!
Michael Johnson is a fool. He was apparently out on the field during science class. You don’t get genetically superior human beings after only a couple hundred years of selected breeding other wise the human race would already be at perfection long before slavery came about.

I think it has more to do with how you are raised. Lots of black american kids play sports. So if you start at a young age and have talent, it goes a long way. Also, living in a developed nation has to help.
Yes lots of blacks play sports…
Come now. Blacks are clearly genetically predisposed to being bigger and stronger than any other race I don’t know why but to deny that is just ridiculous.

is that so? any other race? samoans, nordic people, the aztecs…
no you are right, blacks are just the biggest.
a lot of the reason most professional athletes we see (in certain sports) are black has a HUGE amount to do with social conditioning. a lot of inner city and lower income youth are told that the ONLY way they can succeed is to become an athlete or musician/actor. so its not wonder that these people work harder to become these things. so most athletes and musicians come from impoverished, or at least lower income backgrounds, regardless of race/color. it just so happens that an unfortunate percentage of lower income families in america happen to be black.

i’d say it’s a mix, but i’d lean more towards black people being generally genetically superior concerning physical prowess.
one of the reasons i say that is because your example doesn’t apply to other ethnic groups. there are probably just as many latin american (and others) kids living in impoverished conditions, buy they don’t seem to be represented in sports like black people.

i would say you are wrong about that actually. both in music and sports latino peoples are a growing element int he mainstream. another large part of it is cultural.
but to think that slavery has anything to do with it is really uninformed, and horribly unaware of how genetics actually work.
all this being said, sports in general are a reflection of the lower to middle class. its the same gladiatorial element that has always existed in physical entertainment. so it makes sense that people of color, and white guys with vowels at the end of their names would end up being the majority of America’s visual entertainment.

I’m sorry but no. There are few South Americans and Asians in the NBA because THEY NEVER GROW TO BE 7 FUCKING FEET TALL.
Oh, and Big Pun doesn’t count. He was 7 feet WIDE.
Blacks are genetically different, and those differences are sometimes nourished in childhood to create great athletes. The end.
Believe it, or the lord shall smite you

Yer genetically different from me and everyone else. Pofessional black athletes are not pros because of selective slave breeding otherwise they’d all look like michael clark duncan. Last I looked michael johnson looks nothing like mcd. What need does a slave owner have for a skinny 6ft 7 inch point guard? Or a skinny under 8 sec 100 yard sprinter? None so that shit would’ve been bred out.

not only that, but race is a social construct. it has been proven time and time again that on average more genetic differences can be found within races than outside of them.
some races have different basic physical attributes, but that has nothing to do with anything that happened within the last few hundred years.
You know when I watch sports I often see big buff guys, very athletic looking guys. And it’s often the strongest fastest players aren’t even the best!
For example anyone of you here baseball fans? Look at Dustin Pedroia. He’s short, skinny as fuck, yet he’s one of baseballs best players. He’s good because he has skill. And you learn your skill through upbringing. Which is how I’m sure Michael Johnson got to be the fastest man in the world. Not through his genes. He worked for what he got. Like lots of young black players, they work hard to be the best athletes.
Black people are better at sports, dancing, and being awesome.
White people are better at being accountants, doctors, and nerds.
Sure, white people have all the money and power and all that crap, but they’d all trade it in a second for a massive schlong and the ability to dunk a basketball.
The end.
