Why are black people naturally athletic?

Dude it doesn't really matter what race people are. I think that your buddy is just more athletic than you. You might be stronger than him but he just has better control and coordination of his limbs that make him run better and faster than you. I have a friend from Cameroon and I'm a faster sprinter than him and he said he used to run to school when he was little before his parents moved to the city.

They don't. Have a look at some pictures of 60s and 70s Afros. That hair sure ain't short. It't curly, but it's not short. Or take a look at the length of the dreadlocks on some serious Rastafarians.\n\nAs Rain points out, it's just the current fashion trend for black people in the US to have either short hair or straightened hair. In the 70s the trend was for long hair.\n\nSome black people, a tiny minority that are almost never seen in the US, do have genetically short hair that never grows more than a few inches long. That hair type is most common amongst the San groups of Southern Africa, though it's by no means universal even there.\n\n\nBut there is certainly no justification for a belief that balck people as a group have shorter hair than anyone else.

It's to make Blacks feel better about themselves.

It's pattern recognition. We are used to seeing white men sporting more hair than black men. Because naturally kinky hair sits low to the scalp, we have come to recognize people of color that way. We react to seeing big naturals and pompadours, etc. worn by black men because we don't recognize the pattern.\n\nEven notice how "doifferent" Little RIchars, Al Shaprton and James Brown look?

I've seen alot of Black men with small dicks and a lot of non-black men who are well hung. This stereotype is false. It has nothin gto do with race.

black people love life, they love to have a good time, and they love to laugh, some of the best comedians are black people. They love to be heard, and get loud too. But black people are not loud all the time. only when they get together with their friends, and they want to make sure that everyone knows that they are proud and loud about it. They love to listen to loud rap music, not all of them, but most, because the louder your bump, the better your rap, the more attention you get, and black people love to be the center of attention.

It is only because their bods are bigger built and sweat looks hot on them. Try going to a club with less blacks.

Because they work out instead of doing intellectual things

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.

In general the Black people are faster so they play postions like Running Back and Wide Reciever, postions where speed is of great importance. So the Whites focus on the postions where they can get away with not being as fast. That is why they play things like the Offensive Line and Quarterback. They don't need to be as fast.

I can agree with that to a certain extent, HOWEVER, its not just the black guys.  The white jobks are like that also.  Especially in College, MAJORITY of jocks don't go to class, and the ones who do have a hard time understanding.  Maybe its because they spend most of their time playing sports that they don't think that its really that important.

I don't see what is wrong with being really into sports.  Some people are just athletic and competitive and that is their passion just as others may be passionate about law or medicine.  There are a lot of people that would love to be out there but don't have the talent.  It is a gift...I'm not sure what the problem is whether you are white, black, etc.  I LOVE football and I am a very white girl so I think it transcends race!  Just my opinion!

My theory is this. Unfortunately a lot of black kids grow up in poor communities. Baseball you need a field ( not gonna find many in the projects ) 18 people, gloves ( at least 9 of'em ) baseballs and bats ( and all of that equipment is expensive ) Football....need a field...at least 22 people...and the equipment is even costlier. Basketball, all you need is a ball and a hoop...and most inner cities have basketball courts in walking distance of nearly any neighborhood. So poorer kids black & white gravitate towards basketball....think about it...most of the white NBA players who are'nt European...are farm boys..like Larry Bird was.

They are not taught at home that being a strong education black man is more cool. It all starts at home, no training.

I heard that it was their bone mass, not the bone marrow.  That black people have heavier bones than other people. A swimming teacher told me this about 15 yrs ago. I always thought it was a strange concept - don't we all have the same kind of bones?
