So you wanna get controversial? lets do it intelligently.

Yes, so you are saying that generalizations shouldnt be bashed?? That judging ethnic groups and assigning general traits is a good thing? The question is MOOT! As Jesse Jackson would say on SNL.
Look, try being a cognitive researcher, its far too easy to logical rip apart corrupt mindless generalizations when you study the most indepth of the cognitive pathways. Generalizations are for the weak and uneducated

Agreed.

When you have a thread full of generalizations, you have to get rid of them first before you can even have a discussion.

i once heard someone put it something like this.

generalizations are the rule and the exceptions are for the ignorant.

The quick growth and number of posts on threads with the word "intelligence" in them shows just how TTT everyone here is.

Especially engineering majors and juicypigentrails.

after reading all these enlightening posts ive come to the conclusion that all of you are correct
the fact that the best sprinters in the world are black is because of their socioeconomic upbringing, whites were told at an early age to study and go to school and not to partake in silly sports such as sprinting
this also holds true in basketball where 90% of the nba is black, in reality its not that the blacks are better athletes and better bball players, its that the american culture wants to see black athletes compete in these sports not whites, the owners dont care if the best athletes (the whites) are not on the floor, they are there to appease the tastes of their fans who want to see blacks play hoops
football is another example where blacks make up at least 90% of the skilled positions such as rb and wr, but once again whites were told early on not to play with those black players or they may get hurt, instead study hard and become a doctor so that you can be rich and marry a nice white woman
when it comes to hockey there was a secret agreement between the black panthers and the kkk to let the whites play hockey since blacks dont like the cold, the fact that whites dominate hockey because blacks just dont play the sport has no bearing on this argument
in conclusion it has been decided beyond a shadow of a doubt that blacks arent better athletes when it comes to the best of the best, the statistics that show that the overwhelming majority of athletes in skilled sports are black is really just a smoke cloud, but instead blacks have been given a way out of the getto as compensation by the white man for having slaves a few hundred years ago

The paragraph I quoted of GD is spot on what professionals, scholars, researchers, and everyone else generally more important than internet steriod posters agree upon. Go look it up. While you're at it, cite us some research supporting your argument. Or, as I laid out for you, put it into basic gradeschool logic form, where the premises lead to the conclusion and stuff.

The long-forgotten original post original question that's, like, ten pages back, or you mean some other original question in the last few pages?

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

 

[spongebob]

I already addressed altering the first premise of the argument.

no. what im saying is the first premise should be altered to state: *blacks are dominate in the sports that they participate in equally*

we do not include sports that are predominately played by non-blacks.

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

Um, you might want to go back a few pages. His questions were answered already.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

Damn Golden, you're the only one in 100 posts who has chosen to look at the original question and not just try to bash ''generalizations.''

Bravo and well stated.

You and redguru are the only two people who have chosen to adress hammy's questions and not just ignore them, citing intellectual superiority.

Aaaaaannnndd we have a winner, thanks to everyone else for playing.

besides, we all know that the selective pressure applied to greeks throughout their tumultuous history already resulted in a scarce, yet superbly developed number of humans who may be seen as several cuts above the norm, perhaps to the level of super-humanism, since....i mean....theres me
