Why are Black runners so much faster than whitey?

Quote from PiggyBank:

I don't know but since blacks dominate sports, i think we need some sort of law to include more honkies and other minorities because it just isn't fair. Waaaaaaaaaaaaah

Who told you blacks dominate sports? They Dominate in like 2 things. Thats it. Look at baseball. There are only 8.05% blacks in baseball as of 2011. They are 12% of the population but only 8% of MLB. That makes them underachievers in baseball.

What do they dominate in? Football and basket ball. What do Whites dominate in? Tennis, ice hockey, skiing, soccer, golf (don't mention Tiger because Tiger is asian), as well as lacrosse, track, swimming, gynastics, fencing, and wrestling. (I might also add that no black man from the US has ever got past the first round in american ninja warrior)

Some might try to say they dominate in boxing, but remember...Tyson got beat by a white irish guy named McBride so bad that he retired right after the fight.

So this post disputes the false assumption that blacks dominate in sports.

Studies have been done but I don't care to look them up. Blacks from west africa, and west only, have evolved a higher density of fast twitch muscle fiber, and the have a slightly different bone structure than the rest of the planet. Fast twitch is ideal for short running events.

East africans are skinnier and have more slow twitch fiber, that's why they compete in the distance events . Kenyans dominate marathons.

Scientifically it makes sense that if one major organ like the skin and a genetic feature like muscle structure is different, then so it is very possible that another organ like the brain is different. But that's where liberal religion says no. So its ok that they are better athletically, but there is no difference cognitively by decree according to liberal gospel. Most of us know better.

1. to peil... you must not be counting hispanics as black. Which is fine, but not necessary as accurate for this comparison.

2. its not necessarily the center of gravity... its how the muscles are set up.

for the same length of leg... typically an american black guy has a longer lower leg a shorter but thicker thigh and hamstring and probably butt.

(There was a book on all this stuff over decade ago.)

so you have have a greater contraction over a shorter distance.
not hard to figure out.

Also, if talk to professional scouts...
They know what body types they prefer for, for each position.
They can be quite meticulous.
Big butts in power positions.
Pitchers with more rounded shoulders.
They have stuff figured out to amazing details.
Of course they are not going to share it with the public because it would be misinterpreted as racist unless Dusty Baker says it... then its ok.

Correct and it's quite well documented throughout the web.

2 good books on cognitive differences and social issues are
http://www.amazon.com/Bell-Curve-Intelligence-Structure-Paperbacks/dp/0684824299

and
http://www.amazon.com/The-Global-Bell-Curve-Inequality/dp/1593680287

(not as good, as the book above, but clearly shows it's not unique to the US . Also I think it more clearly links low IQ to violence , poverty, shorter life span and criminal behavior.

All one has to do is look at the planet and see who has achieved intellectually and who builds the better civilizations. The science will take a back seat to politics I think.

Anyone with at least two brain cells to rub together doesn't need to compare IQ scores to see this cold harsh reality.

Well you know what you get when the govt subsidizes something
(ie:low IQ ), right?

yes but we can't speak the reality. Our liberal bretheren have won that battle along with convincing everyone that they all deserve equal economic outcomes regardless of ability.

Too bad, I think real progress only comes when we take on reality and solve problems on their own terms.

Yes, let us all go back to the idea of a superior race, and eliminate others. Oh yeah, a guy named Hitler planned that as well, and Jesse Owens proved him wrong.

We are all going to be very similar, or at least our great grandchildren will be, due to the inter racial procreation. But, even without that, evolution, that bad word among some theologians, is working in that direction.

White men can't jump, black men can't swim, but the perfection derived from the combination might make superior race, not in-breeding.

Note: for the illiterate, the above references to blacks and whites, is tongue in cheek, look it up.

I'm sure in the age before microbes were known people believed in a great puppeteer who controlled who got sick or ill. Now that people generally know better we are better off, same for recognizing the influence of IQ on a myriad social issues vs the facetious story lines entertained by policy makers today .
