Black vs. White physique

Chill Out Doc

I dont understand how you think how this thread is racist and should be deleted....if you go to the first page and read my post you will see that I am far from a ignorant prejudice redneck....I admit...there are some who have replied to this thread and have somewhat of a discriminatory tone...however to label the whole thread one of discrimination is wrong....I believe it is simply an interesting thoughtful discussion....if anything it is praising African Americans for their god-given beautiful physiques...shit dude...lighten up......PEACE

God save us from white liberals

Doctor Herb, I would guess from your patronizing, paternalistic attitude towards what you unctuously call "people of color" that you're a white liberal of baby boomer age.

This thread actually shows what I would call real racial progress since "your day", when white libs rountinely patronized blacks by "generously" protecting them from all honesty, straight talk, or criticism.

Today's blacks are tired of being the spoiled lap dogs of white liberals. We're big boys and girls. We can deal with criticism, even remnants of ignorance and prejudice, without having to rely on being "protected" by the sanctimonious likes of you.

First off let me say Ercole that was an excellent reply to Dr Dicks bullshit post. I think that this is an excellent thread but I suppose it was to much to expect not to have someone post racial shite or for some condescending hysteric to label us all racists!
This thread typifies this board - intelligent posts, wide variety of opinions and theories and very informative! I must admit that I always believed in the survival of the fittest theory because the conditions on the slave ships where so bad [disease, hunger etc.] that only the strongest even made it to America resulting in a superior gene pool! However this thread has provided a lot of food for thought!

Re: This board sucks...

..when it comes to being P.C. This thread is so racist and stereotypical. It's goes to show that many of you juice heads are too young(immature) to be here or just straight up REDNECK. I swear, it seems that the mods would have the brains to deltete threads such as this, or maybe they are good ole' boys too, that frown upon people of color. If this pisses anyone off, GOOD, cause that's how I feel now.

Damn, I sure got plenty of theories on this.. This post is no way racial and I thought it was a legitamite question.. Thanks for all the great replies..

Wish I had good genetics, oh well..

If you look at africans in Africa, specially on the wescoast, they are super skinny and not that much muscle tone to them.

They came here as slaves. 9,000 miles in a ship. Tha weak ones died. The ones that made it where a little bit stronger...

They were brought here to work and lift and carry things and do manual labor,,,, the weak ones died...the strong ones lived....

The strong ones kept reproducing... leading to a genetically advantaged race.

Yes i know there are a lot of African runts out there too..but the majority are genetically ahead.

They deserve to be, they've been fucked over for over 400 years.

...due to millions of years in subsaharan africa, blacks have developed superior heat regulatory systems. firstly, they have longer appendages (look at most black guys, they are taller, have smaller wastes, thinner longer fingers, longer feet, and toes, thinner ankles, etc.), this enables them to radiate heat faster (surface area/volume ratio is much higher). and heat loss is the primary concern of any long distance athlete. (studies have shown that when equivalent masses of rats and humans are compared, the rats can produce 9 times the power of the human-this is due to heat loss, their surface area of all the rats combined is much much higher than that of the human with the equivalent mass to all the rats). also the black skin helps, black is the most emissive color when it comes to radiation, yet another reason why they can keep cooler. also, studies have shown in biopsies of blacks that they have more blood perfusion per muscle fiber (more capillaries/muscle fiber), which enables them to transport more oxygen to the muscle under aerobic conditions, effectively allowing them to produce more energy with out lactic acid breakdown. as far as being bigger, that is a fallacy. they have lower body fats so that there is less insulation = more heat loss). as you can see, almost all of the traits that blacks have the make them superior in most sports are derived from heat regulatory systems. i could write more, but the gym is calling me. later

dude, i am taking anthro right now and you are absolutely right about the surface area / heat adaptation evolution. It's called Bergman's rule and Allen's rule. Anyway, just wanted to give you some support on that point since i just had a lecture on it last week. i don't know about all their blood / fiber advantages, but the body heat dissipation system of african americans is far superior and is a result of thousands of years adaptation. by the way, my anthro teacher is an anti-patriotic commie bitch. i hope she reads this.

Interesting post!

I just think the colored people work harder...Why do all the white guys win a lot of contests..Dorian, Arnold etc.. They all got access to the same gear? I think the average colored guy probably is hungrier

What year are you living in " colored people" who says that anymore. Black guys win just as many contest if not more latley. Who is Mr. O, who was the Masters Mr. O last year, come on black guys do pretty good in bodybuilding!

American Blacks have great genetics because of slavery. You do not see that many great African Athletes except for long distance runners from Kenya. It is all because they were bred to be big and strong.
