Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don’t Bring Black People

[dilloduck]

Not enough of them to beat the odds. In the lower income Black communities its almost a religion. its simply a numbers game. If more Black people practice harder at basketball than a smaller amount of white people odds are there are going to be more Black people at the highest levels of the profession. It doesnt take a genius to figure this out.

What's your explanation for football being dominated by brothers then? Rural white folks treat football like a religion, heck..even a lot of suburban & urban whites do too! I think you should reaccess your naaive rationale here.

For the same reason. Simply the numbers of people practicing. Most lower income Black people look to both basketball and football as the main path to a better life. You should know this already.

how about a link to back up this assertion that there are no racial advantages in sports and it's all in how much you practice ?

What do you need a link for? Think about it. Walk into any classroom in a lower income Black neighborhood and ask the kids what they want to be. A large amount will tell you either a football or basketball player. They want the money for a better life.

Now do the same thing in an Asian community lower or upper class. They are intimidated by the notion of competing at sports generally and focus more on academics.

This is not rocket science if you let go of the myths you have been fed.

Yes I know that is true. But I also know we are not built the same physically as white people, and some of these differences give us an advantage in certain forms of athleticism, not all ofcourse.

Chris Paul signed last year for $107,300,000.00 over 5 years. $83 million of it guaranteed.

That's slaves wages.

That's racist bull shit.

Look at the MLB. Only a few of the players are Black now. No one in the hood plays baseball anymore. If you can see yourself reflected in the position you want to attain it is much easier to keep the consistency needed to attain that goal. If you dont see anyone that looks like you then its much harder and can appear impossible especially if you have some nimrod telling you its because of what color you are.

I need a link because you're full of shit----blacks as a whole have a different physiological make up than other races.

I'm black and I am not offended by your post in the least. What offends me is that you feel you have to add a disclaimer when stating facts.

I attached that note because, unlike you, I am not so confident that my layman observation is factual.

I watch only a few NBA games now and then, so I have no firm awareness of just how many Caucasian or Asian players there are in that sport, or how comparatively good they are.

It turns out that Kenyans' success may be innate. Two separate, European-led studies in a small region in western Kenya, which produces most of the race-winners, found that young men there could, with only a few months training, reliably outperform some of the West's best professional runners. In other words, they appeared to have a physical advantage that is common to their community, making it probably genetic. The studies found significant differences in body mass index and bone structure between the Western pros and the Kenyan amateurs who had bested them. The studied Kenyans had less mass for their height, longer legs, shorter torsos, and more slender limbs. One of the researchers described the Kenyan physical differences as "bird-like," noting that these traits would make them more efficient runners, especially over long distances

If you are 7'2" 300 plus pounds you can dominate like Shaq. Roy Hibbert who is close to Shaq size is a stiff that would make any white guy feel like he could compete. Whats wrong with that picture? Why is Shaq more athletic than Hibbert? Hibbert is Black as well. Some things you are born with and it doesn't matter what color you are.

There are physical differences between races..and they do have their advantages for all of us, just different ones. People seem to have a hard time accepting this...that we are not equal in the sense they want us all to be. They say race doesn't exist, but then how is it they can tell what age, sex, and race people are from our skulls & skeletal remains?

So if thats true why do some whites succeed and they have a "white" body type?

The only variable is the region they come from. People have adapted to regional differences in environment. That doesnt make you more or less athletic simply because you come from Africa. If that was the case Africans would be the best basketball players in the world. Why do American Blacks dominate the sport?

Have you lost your reasoning skills ? SOME whites have what it takes to be competitive. Most don't as evidenced by the numbers.

Dude----again you drag out anomalies.

Take your pick then. Why was MJ better than say Ray Allen. Same body type. Same ability to jump.

Never mind. I see you have chosen to stick with boring repetition of anomalies and avoid the issue.----check out track and field and let me know the stats in the sprints.

What I am saying is a physiological and biological fact... Why do American bred Africans dominate? We were bred that way. Plus we are wayyyy more healthy on average than our African counterparts.

My reasoning skills go beyond stopping at a simplistic, excuse of an explanation. The explanation that makes the most sense is effort and programming. If you think you cant do something you most likely are not going to try. Its human nature and I know this. I've worked with people that did not believe they could do a certain task but when you convince them they can they succeed. Thats how I know this racial stuff is BS. How do you explain that belief was the only thing keeping them from doing something?

How many white kids go our for track and field and kill at long distance running?
