why are black people more athletic?

Question

the worlds fastest man is black. blacks dominate professional sports. in the olypics they are always winning in track and field so i ask you why are black people so much more athletically gifted than other races.

Answer 1

certain body structures are better at specific sports.
running - usually involves lots of lower body strength (thicker thighs and butt) ~ mostly characterized by black people
swimming - usually involves a "T" shaped torso ~ mostly characterized by white people.

and then boxing (energetic)
basketball (height and speed)
football (sturdiness)
baseball (stocky)

and so on and so forth...

Answer 2

The Gift and The Curse i guess. It has nothing to do with race more to do with the Atlantic slave trade. I've did some reading on this. As slaves, African were looked at as animals/property. The slave owners would breed these slaves just like they do dog, horses, and any other animal. Many of times a slave owner would have a big black buff male called a 'stud'. This Slave owner would go to many plantations and have is slave breed with the female slaves to produce larger and buffer males. Just like how the many different types of dogs there are. It was a form of breeding to produce the fittest slave for the fields. That's why you have so many large black males. Its not a phenomenon its just the effects from slave owners breeding us like animals. I'm a black male my self. I don't play any sports but I'm 6'2, my dad is 6'7, my brother is 6'2, all my uncles are 6 foot all taller. I have plenty of cousins that are 6'7 and 6'8.
Its just the after effects from breeding methods placed on our ancestors to produce the fittest slaves. I hope that helps, you can look it up if you don't like or just take an African American course somewhere if they offer it. Take care.

Answer 3

It has to do with the evolution of man. Whites come from Europe where as blacks are from Africa. Two totally different environments with different climates. The noses on blacks tend to be wider than whites, which was good to have in the African heat because it allowed us to take in more air. Whites have smaller noses because of the cold, if they took in too much air this would result in getting sick. That just happens to also be the reason why blacks really don't have too much problems with skin cancer. Our dark skin protects us due to living in Africa, so living in the U.S. isn't too bad. But whites primarily have problems with it. So its not just a sports thing.

Every race is just a product of their former environment. Blacks just had to be the most athletic, due to the environment. Now its just used in sports. I'm sure in another thousand years things for all races that have settled in the U.S.

Answer 4

I'm nowhere near athletic.

Answer 5

That's a myth. Many Blacks pursue athletics because they know its something they can succeed in, and often its the only avenue they have. Other races are not pursuing athletic careers because there is a lot more opportunity open to them in other areas.

Answer 6

Because they (black female athletes) have a lot of practice running away from their uncles.

Answer 7

because of genetics. now since you believe this, you also have to believe that blks are much more mentally inferior that other races, and if you don't believe me, there is 200 years worth of research that backs this up

Answer 8

Because of their africian culture and backgrounds of their former ancestors.
