Don't say it is because of something linked to slavery or blacks being motivated by the economics of escaping poverty. That's because if you watch any international sprint track event, the majority of the sprinters are black. And being fast afoot, plays a large role in most athletic endeavors.

Scrap the whole slavery answer to the question, the slaves came to America better athletes than any of the other races. Also African civilization was highly developed before outside forces came in with corruption and destruction resulting in much of what you see today, a divided and weak continent even though it's the richest continent on the planet, but more about the blacks being superior in reference to athleticism. You can't start their athletic ability analysis when Europe and Asia were developing you would have to continue to go back, the Africans were around before Europe and Asia started developing.
I say it's the genetic make up, however I do think that the sports the AA dominate are the ones that you're basing your conclusion on which I totally agree. Basketball, Boxing, Baseball, Tennis,Track and Field, Boxing(fighting), Football, etc sports that require bursts of speed, jumping ability, etc blacks will dominate because of their fast twitch muscles and genetics, however that answer is skewed because a sport such as boxing you can't just rely on you physical superiority it's as much a mental discipline as well.
However there are sports such as swimming, bike riding, long distance running, fencing, badminton, etc are these sports considered athletic sports, if so blacks don't dominate them so it also depends on which sports you're talking about and I think I know which sports you're talking about which are the popular American sports, basketball, fighting, football, baseball, track and field.

There are socio-financial motives besides as "achieveable" genetic motives. game as a fashion out of poverty, the expectancy that blacks are extra valuable becominig a self-relaxing prophecy, giving them a pyschological factor, they "understand" they are extra effective. Sprinting being seen rightly or wrongly as a "black" adventure which potential white athletes talk different distances. there are various white athletes on the sprint events who're below a million/2 a 2d in the back of, consistent with hazard that final little bit IS genetic?

The ability lies in large part in the genetic bone and muscle development of the race. Also more black sacrifice to achieve athletic goals.

That is one GREAT question!!!
Personally, I think because of the fact that African Americans are minorities here, so chances are when there is any competition at all, they have this mentality that they must try harder, practice more in order to fight the seats with the majority who happens to be whites. I don't think it has to do with blacks have a better body or anything like that, but it applies to those who work harder, try harder. Most likely (go to any races at all), these who work hard, will have a better rewarding.
FYI: But see, for certain sports like football, I don't think asian men will be better anyway (some) since they are physically smaller so that is an exception. lol

It's the type of muscles and body types they have due to genes. It has been known for some time that certain body type is suited for certain activities. They tend to have longer muscular legs. For that reason, they are probably in general not going to excel in figure skating or gymnastics.

this is a dumb question, but i will answer....
african american people are persuaded to accelarate in sports rather than academia. This is just how it is. You have seen chris Rocks hbo special... Caucasion children are usually persuaded to accelerate in schollarly activities, while the programs in the urban areas are usually less than satisfactory. It makes sense to try to use the assets that are attainable to any racial group.

Why? Always running from the police. Check the FBI website for the stats.

it is due to the fact that genetically the have much more potential than white people
they have more determination to train harder and their bodies can handle more because of the way their ancestors lived. in africa it was a hunting society and physical strength was needed in the harsh conditions

i think it has mostly to do with those activities being more valued/pursued in that culture. you get good at what you do.
i think it has nothing to do with genetics.
i mean when you see that most CEOs are white do you think that whites are inherently superior CEOs?
