Have you lost your reasoning skills ? SOME whites have what it takes to be competitive. Most don't as evidenced by the numbers.
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?
I agree, some of us are more gifted either physically or mentally, it is the desire, the attitude and the motivation to overcome or exceed a norm, that makes a difference. Larry Bird was not a great basketball player, he willed and worked his way to become one. Sidney Wicks had the skills to be a great player, his attitude and his selfishness was his downfall. Peyton Manning wins games because of desire and dedication, the same can be said about Michael Jordan, he was great but the chip on his shoulder created the greatness.
Dedicated athletes are like any other dedicated person. Think about the best teacher you ever had, they had that something extra, a love and a desire to exceed.
People that settle at good enough, are just good enough.
