Are black men genetically physically stronger than white men?

Question

On average, do black men possess more physical prowess? Bigger shoulders, stronger backs, etc? (Please note, I'm not interested in penis size.)

What do you think? Is this a stereotype or a well known fact?

Answer 1

Hate to point out the cold hard truth. Yes. Without prejudice, up until the fairly recent future, blacks were slaves and I believe through the years of intense physical labor and mandated work ethics, they are now genetically physically stronger. Obviously, not in all cases, but many genetic lines of blacks in this day and age are large.

Answer 2

NO, I cannot believe this is the "best" answer. Tell me do you have any research on melanin or the ancient origin or African people??? What books have you read or what african scholars do you study to get your "garbage from cable TV" that you pass off as knowledge. Of course you haven't because if you had you would know that our physical superiority has NOTHING to do with slavery!!! Black to brown Melanin pigment is also the neurochemical that gives black people soul, allows us to look young S BETTER THAN EVERYONE. That's just the tip of the ice berg, history is full of lies and while the black man was building amazing kingdoms while the white man was still grunting and living in caves. We are stronger and more resilient because we are the oldest people on this planet. White skin is genetically ressive and not fotified to last, whites are only 1/10 or the global population and have the most fertility problems. Whites want to breed w/ us because from a genetic & cellular perspective they are doing this because whites are dying out, that's what they get...

Not that I know of. My black friends are scrawny and I put them in their place when need be. I'm white.

I've fought many races and never loss to a African American; but a guy from Africa did put a good beating on me.

There something to say about the Irish. a little Irish guy plowed through me one time. That stereotype fits properly enough.

Brits and Canadians are pretty pansy-black and white alike.

Europeans are mixed. I've known some Spanish guys to through down!

Asians are a rare variety. Japanese and Chinese don't fight much but Koreans (South) can really kick some butt! I was surprised when I was there how big they are. They're on average like 6'2" 200lbs. They surely ate their Wheaties after the Korean War. Watch out when they get drunk! Especially if you're boning one of their women! They hate that! But I've romped a couple of their head together as well.

Always enjoy a good sluggout.

I don't know if anything is proven. However, from my observations; yes it is true. I'm in the military and I'm able to see a very diversified population everyday. From what I've seen black men tend to be physically stronger than almost all other races. Some people actually attribute this to slavery in America. I haven't been able to observe the difference in races in other countries, therefore I can't say if black men everywhere tend to be more physically developed or not. In any case, I would attribute this trait in black men to evolution. Considering that the first humans were black and from Africa, I think they had evolved from the very start to be stronger, and faster to make hunting and long immigrations more adaptable. So, I don't know for sure if it's proven, but I have observed that black men ARE more physically sound than other races. (Oh, yes the penis thing seems to be true also. As well as Asians "GENERALLY" have smaller penis'.) As far as sports go, I know about the calves and jumping. I do know that black men have a better natural ability to jump than white men. Black men's calf muscles are developed higher on the lower leg than white men's. This causes more explosiveness in the muscle, which turns into better jumping power.

How is that most men in the world are ruler shaped? mmm, most, Tall men are more likely to be ruler shape, tall with small body frame. Unless you're an male hourglass like my uncle or 8% of the world. Body shapes have changed a bunch in the last 100 years and even the last 60 yrs for females.

Answer 6

depends really, generalizing black men into one group is unfair. because there is a lot of variety in what you call black race. think of the ethiopian runners for example. just because they have black skin doesn't mean they're the same. also it depends on the way you would rate strength. short bursts of strength, or strength in stamina. there are black men that can pull or push an incredible amount of weight in weightlifitng, but in the strongmen competitions white men are predominant. it depends how you measure strength really. every 'type' has it's upsides and downsides.

Answer 7

Unfortunately there is some truth to the "averages". As well documented during the slave days larger more muscled black males were chosen for uses in the fields and as such a for of "un-natural selection" was taking place. The breeding by the owners was to the advantage of large strong body types. I am not a racist here my first wife, I am/was a widower now remarried, was black and our son is much taller and stronger than she or I. This is not to be seen as a blanket statement just that the gene pool has been skewed to the upper end of the"normal" range. I am Franco-Canadian and readily admit that as such I am "tall for my nationality" at 5'9" most of my fellow Frenchmen at 5'6" or less. Genetic diversity does have some tends among ethnic groups.

Answer 8

nope, its not true (this is another black man speaking). Theres so much variety in this world, thats just a stereotype with no foundation. The problem is that the majority of well known black people tend to be well known due to their physical strength and appearance, with very few known due to intelligence or other characteristics. As a result, people tend to think of most black people like this. Alternatively, white people are well known for a wealth of things, many for their non physical traits, so physical appearance isnt something associated to their racial group. Its all down to the media.

Answer 9

First, only the strongest of slaves survived the middle passage, and life on plantations. Second, slaves were bred like horses for centuries. Of course they have genetic advantages, and probably will for many generations to come.

Answer 10

it is a stereotype it has nothing to do with race or color
interesting thought though I've watched the strong man competitions on espn for years now and very few black men are in it and almost ever winner is from the Norse countries

Answer 11

No it's not true. White men can be just as strong n they tend to be more attractive because they look better shirtless when they do work out. My boyfriend is white and he's strong and he has a big d*ck. I'm sick of all this stereotypin' sh*t sayin' that black guys are better. Personally i'm not attracted to black guys and I know some white guys that can seriously beat the crap out of black guys so I think it's just a stereotype kinda thing and it's stupid if u ask me. Every race can be strong n ugh. Plus it doesn't even matter about if most people think black guys are stronger. White guys have the sexy eyes and hair and mmm omg they look way better when they work out.

Sorry
