Retired Olympic sprinter Michael Johnson believes there is a scientific reason that explains why so many of the top sprinters in the world are black. The four-time gold medalist, now a commentator for BBC, believes slave descendants have genes that make them superior athletes.

"All my life I believed I became an athlete through my own determination, but it’s impossible to think that being descended from slaves hasn’t left an imprint through the generations,"

In 1988, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder posited that:

"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 and he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trade'n the big… the owner… the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid see."

He was fired in 1988 by CBS for the comments

Running from their masters certainly didn't hurt.

 

[Midswat]

There's truth to this. And that's not racist to say, I don't think.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Plus when they were in Africa they were running from lions and shit.

Oh and white men can’t jump.

[Jon88]

Ok what's his point? Black people bring up slavery like it's going to get them something. Even liberals are ready to move on.

Wow. How stand up of you to "even trust" some black dudes.

Send me a short bio of yourself so I can submit your name for a humanitarian award.

We know the mods there wouldn't have it. Here though is a different story. Here, Middie draws the line at editing posts, not deleting them all together, shutting the thread down and banning the offending member.

Good point. At least us whites got the "Superbowl" gene. Take that MJ!!!!

[Midswat]

This thread is ignorant. Because dumb people are posting in it.

Except for me. I'm awesome.

 

[Jon88]

Whatever white people say regarding race is always racist. Just remember that.

 

[Midswat]

Race is a sensitive subject for most.

The mere notion that the various races of people could be different from one another is taboo.

I love how your avatar promotes racial unity.

Being poor and having a culture that stresses you need to "play a sport, rap, sing, or dance" has more to do with this then genetics.

As black people decline in baseball, is anyone really going to make the argument that they are declining genetically?

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

There are more poor whites than blacks in America.

Baseball doesn't require it's atheletes to run and jump like basketball and football.

Good point but, at least in my town, when I drive through a poor area chances are it is not a white neighborhood. , The poor whites are not the drivers of white culture in the same way poor blacks are of there's. So fewer white are pointed as consistently towards sports.

 

[Midswat]

jeebus you dumb

 

[jeebus]

jeebus you dumb

And proud, just the way the good lord made me.

 

[Midswat]

I think you were bred that way.
