So you wanna get controversial? lets do it intelligently.

[Mr. dB]

i'm just checking in here.

what's the overall level of intelligence in this discussion thus far?

IQ=95

because you see, a rich person, black or white, are not going to participate nearly as much in sports.

this is ofcourse if you subscribe to the theory.

This is where the genetic question & possibly stereotypes come into play. If you have someone that is poor and white vs. someone that is poor and black trying out for football or track, who will likely make the team?

We assume the best person.

no samoth you tell me why blacks dominate those sports that i have mentioned, you are the one tooting your horn thinking you know everything
why are the fastest sprinters black?
why is 90% of the nba black?
why do the kenyans win every marathon?
why is 90% of the nfl wr and rbs black?
i will tell you why blacks dont dominate hockey, its because they dont play it
now are you telling me the reason blacks dominate these other sports is because they grew up poor? i really hope thats not going to be your answer

And let's say that I replace the above quote, but replace everything to say

why are the smartest programmers white?
why is 90% of academia white?
why do europeans and americans (whites) always rank #1 in academics?
why is 90% of nasa white?

So tell my why replacing <blacks> with <whites> and <physical> with <mental> is incorrect? They seem pretty diametrically opposite and one could argue their symmetry pretty well. It seem to me, that by your logic, or alternate form thereof, allows for this to hold. I think it's more that I don't see the basis of your argument. Genetic superiority is a big claim... and it's also pretty easy to test for at the level you're touting.

There are already answers out there for the original question of this thread, although some of them are not as tangable as people are comfortable with. Anything involving statistics and interpretation is beyond the understanding of pretty much everyone in the world save math/stat majors and professionals in the field. (eg. you can use some obtruse stat equation with certain boundaries and intervals and say that "there is no statistical correlation between drunk driving and motor vehicle incidents." or whatever... that's how so many companies and advertising schemes can get away with what seems untrue or highly unlikely.)

The quote from GD is one of the bigger ones, and the most concisely stated one I've heard. I'm sure as hell not knowledgeble on this subject, but this kind of topic brings up so many logical infallacies and hogwash like "[physical] genetic superiority" that make it easy to jump in and say, "... and why exactly do you think what you're saying is true?".

Most often, I think people just want to argue for the sake of arguing, or to try to win... and not to uncover the truths and fallacies of the subject in question.

And I hope you're right. I'ma buy me a black man and put 'em in hockey shoes. He'll make me millions. Luckily, my superior white intelligence concieved of this first, before them black folk got the idea to take over these sports they're not well represented in and make all that money for themselves.

 

[nycgirl]

can we be more specific? which sports are not dominated by skin color that fall into the 'poor sports category'?

like is boxing dominated by skin color? or track and field? i would think these are 'por sports'.

Boxing is dominated by skin color depending on the class. I think. Some track & field sports are dominated by color; not all of them are dominated by blacks.

All sports (and classes within certain sports) are dominated by skin color.

He's an Arab-American...

Okay, Ill follow your train of logic for the moment, he's an Arab-American, besides the stupidity of hypenating Americans; that gives him the right to HATE a group of people? And cite the author the Turner Diaries? The bible of white supremacists and the motivating factor behind Timothy McVeighs Oklahoma Cities bombing of the Murrow building? You may understand this hatred, but me, I despise it!

There is a bigger issue here. His generation (especially if his parent/grandparents are not from/based here) don't understand that if you put me, him, SoreArms and Yarg in a car. Drive us to Washington County, MD or states like Idaho, the people he is quoting would string all of us from a tree. Not just me.

Look goddamit! It has nothing to with skin color, it has to do with a race's culture that they put forth. ITs the government they decide or have forced upon that decide overall success, its the system of training of winnowing and minnowing athletes. Like in China and Russia and Germany and name the country. In the US.........................

 

[Mr. dB]

or if it makes it simpler, *blacks are dominate in football and basketball*

"Dominate" is a verb. I believe the word you're looking for is "dominant".
