How were african americans involved in sports treated during 1990-1910?

In 1910- 1950 no black was treated fairly whatsoever. There were the negroe leagues for baseball and probably seperate leagues for other sports. From, 1951-1990 there isnt as much discrimination, but there was still some.

I don't  want anyone thinking I'm racist or biased in any way, but people of African descent do have better muscles than any other race. I read somewhere that we have a higher concentration of fast muscle-twitch fibers, which aids in jumping, hence the high prevalence of African-Americans in sports such as basketball.

Dunking was officially banned in college basketball in 1967. The dunking ban was lifted in 1976 and dunking has been allowed ever since.

Cycling has a long, storied history in Europe (even though it's roots trace back to the U.S. in the Major Taylor days).\n\nTraditional American ball sports, various oval-track auto racing are what Americans live for. Very masculine sports if you asked the folks you'd find at these events. A sport with a bunch of lycra-clad pansies doesn't fit into the category.

No, skating seems to be a sign of socioeconomic status and I have found that it is mostly middle class caucasians who take to the sport.\n\nToo many cultural roadblocks for african americans.

I believe it was legalized prior to the 76-77 season. It had been outlawed for about 10 years in order to try to control the dominance of Lew Alcindor (L/K/A Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)... it didn't work.

Well there is a speed skater on the U.S team. But really go to the offical website maybe you can find some african americans in the olympics. But hey the games just begun too.. so be patient. But hey I may look white in real life but i'm actally half black so I can relate to what your saying about where the black people are.

Native Americans were never banned from the Major and Minor Leagues like blacks were, so there were some (such as Louis Sockalexis and Jim Thorpe) in the major leagues.  Indeed, it is believed that a few black or partly black players appeared in games by claming to be Indian to account for their skin tone.

jazzie606 and ong jon  pretty much have it right.\n\nBasketball is not a 'black' game... it's a city game.\n\nHistorically, whatever 'group' of people comprise the majority of inner city populations, also happened to be the dominant players in basketball.\n\nBack in the 1920s and 1930s, the majority of inner city residents were Jewish, Jewish players dominated basketball. As we moved into the 1940s and 1950s, Jews moved out of the inner cities, blacks from the south moved into the inner cities, and basketball was soon dominated by black players.\n\nI remember on an NBC special re: the dominance of blacks in sports, they interviewed a Jewish player from the 1930s, and he said that "we used to say that every Jewish kid was born with a basketball in his hands"... of course, the same was later said about blacks.\n\nBut basketball is a city game (don't need much space or equipment to play), and this is why the majority of the best/most exciting players come from big ciites.

Actually, africo(and afr/american) people have a faster twitch response in their muscles. This is a known sports scientific fact.\n  There are bucket loads more black sprinters than white fellas.
