Do African Americans have a slight genetic advantage over others in terms of physical or athletic superiority?

Answer 1

ive heard the slave breeding stories but its not necessarily tru. yes most pro athletes these days are black but even look at the NFL where the majority are african american. some of the hardest hitting, craziest dudes in the league are white. Brian Urlacher, John Lynch, Jeremey Shockey for examples

Answer 2

I think (maybe I know) there are even, equal physical differences between every and all races. That's why people have dark almost black appearing skin, brown like wood or carmel and some others have white or pale or pink appearing skin. Everyone is their own characteristic according to their race or culture, etc. or whatever we are: alike or seperate. But just because we are different doesn't mean we can't get along, if all parties participate without hindering others and are allowed to contribute their intelligence. If this is not the case, then the situation is imbalanced by one sided control.

Answer 3

Personally, I think the brown skinned people, like from India, are the ones native to this world. And the rest
of us come from other worlds. The sun on this world
makes ones skin turn brown.
I see whites as coming from an Ice planet. Where the
sky was always gray, and hardly any sun. Yellow
skinned people from a planet with a bright sun maybe.
Blacks from a planet that had a very hot, harsh
environmnent. Very difficult to survive. Which may have indeed given them a dominant physical prowess.

Answer 4

I would think so...since African-Americans' ancestors faced a harsher environment where food was scarce and they had to make do with what resources they had, so genetically, their bodies were able to adapt to the harsh environment...But generally, I think each race has an advantage over the others in one aspect or another, depending on what our ancestors had to face...

Answer 5

No.

And for those who point out the high percentage of blacks in football, basketball, and baseball... I would like to remind them of the high percentage of Latinos in soccer and the high percentage of whites in hockey, tennis, golf, gymnastics, volleyball, swimming, diving, marathon running, polo, horseracing, and just about every sport in the world besides football, basketball, baseball, or soccer.

People play the sports that are encouraged the most in their 'hoods and level of economic means.

Answer 6

No.

Hitler had promoted the idea that the Germans were the Ubermenschen. Where did it get him?

Are the Germans genetically superior, like he claimed?

Is the jock actually a brainless twit?

White men can't play basketball?

These are stereotypings that have no base in facts.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Answer 7

Most were brought to america to be used as slaves so the strongest, biggest and fastest were selected first. In addition, selective breeding works and it was practiced during the early years of slavery when masters tried to enlarge his slave population by selecting couples to breed.

Answer 8

Well, blacks do have an advantage and it is clearly displayed in their athleticism, not saying whites totally lack athletic talent but they definitely don't have more then blacks.

Answer 9

ummm tough q. there's alot of good athletes from all races, but alot of the best players in sports are black

i.e. kobe, thierry henry, marvin harrison

Answer 10

Hello...

There are very large, strong people of all races......

A characteristic of people of African origins is larger stature, strength, and endurance.......

These things are not limited to people of the African race, though...

So, the answer would be, strictly speaking, no.......
