props to asian sprinters - they still tryin

[Swagnificent]

That shyt making me wonder if White men really did give up on the sprints?

I ain't believing that Asian people really more athletic than White people like that.

Cacness confirmed.

Thanks for playing.

White people can run, there is nothing inherent about black people that makes them faster. This takes away from the athletic work the black athlete does.
I remember in Greece a white guy came in pretty high, but it was the result of a mis-start.
The white dude from the US did well too, in Greece too, Jeremy Wariner

Cosign.

I get pissed off by this racist thinking as well. Makes us look like we don't work hard or anything. There might be small differences here or there physically but they got nothing to do with race.

Black athletes simply work harder than whites.

 

[Swagnificent]

while cacs quit long time ago.

saw the whole competition and asian sprinters still be runnin 100m. didn't they finish pretty well in 4x4 relay too few years ago?



hell there was a half nikka running for japan.




when was the last time cacs ran a legit 100m?

Asians are fast. I remember in my high school the fastest kid was Asian. He used to compete in the state 100m finals and do pretty well.

I don't know why black people have brought into these racist white theories. Nothing makes us inherently faster. We just work harder to maximize our natural talents. Don't take their BS that black people are more athletic as a compliment. That's just another way of them saying they are more intelligent and thus deserve to rule the world.

Jeremy Warriner
Christian lemtetre only white guy o run under ten
And Greece had that cheater

 

[KingJay]

Lemaitre is the last white hope, but he aint shyt really
Asians give it their all so props for that there's a billi in China alone so some are bound to be gifted
Imagine if there were a billion Jamaicans

 

[LurkMoar]

This race still blows my mind:








China was 4th or 5th too.

damn he dusted em too

at the elite level west African descent are genetically superior to others when it comes to sprinting, East Africans are superior in long distance. Everyone works hard in the olympics dumbass.

Nah just not true fam. If we are different enough genetically to make us have darker skin, different skulls, noses, lips, hair texture, etc then its ridiculous to think that is where it stops. Everything isn't 100 percent equal. That preschool logic. We are different physically. Maybe slightly but thats all it takes. Just looking at different races its no doubt that we have different builds typically.

Stop man, you spouting white race theory that has no basis in science.

...Genetic determinism can best be defined as the idea that genes are a determining factor in the formation of certain complex traits in humans and their behavior (Harpalani, 2004). Claims of genetic superiority in certain groups or “races” of people, to be scientific and valid, must be proved in order to conclude genetic determinism. Using that idea as a framework, authors like Entine who deduce that there is a genetic basis for Black athletic predominance have three main objectives to prove. Vinay Harpalani is one of the most outspoken critics of using genetic determinism to validate notions of inferiority or the superiority of certain groups (in this case Black athletes). He argues that in order for any of Entine’s claims to be valid he must prove that: 1) there is a systematic way to define Black and White populations; 2) consistent and plausible genetic differences between the populations can be demonstrated; 3) a link between those genetic differences and athletic performance can be clearly shown (2004).

An examination of those three criteria, using prominent biological and anthropological theories, can shed light onto racial genetic determinism in regards to Entine’s thesis. It has been accepted generally by anthropologists that race is neither a genetically nor biologically sound paradigm but instead a social construct based largely on Western society’s obsession with superficial physical features such as skin color (Harpalani, 2004). Even those who make arguments for a biological definition of race acknowledge that that definition would not correspond to simplistic notions of people being labeled as “Black” and “White” (Andreasen, 1998). Prominent anthropologists such as Jonathon Marks have also recently weighed in on this issue, debunking notions of genetically-based racial differences. Marks writes that Entine is saying one of three things: that the very best Black athletes have an inherent genetic advantage over the very best White athletes; that the average Black athlete has a genetic advantage over the average White athlete; that all Blacks have the genetic potential to be better athletes than all Whites. Clearly these three propositions are both unknowable and scientifically untenable. Marks writes that “the first statement is trivial, the secondly statistically intractable, and the third ridiculous for its racial essentialism” (Marks, 2000: 1077).

The second criterion demonstrating across the board genetic variations between populations has in recent years been roundly debunked. Recently, out of the scientific community we have seen a huge influx of genetic work, testing, and experimentation in determining the linkage, if any, between notions of race and biology. Recent work on alleles, a part of a gene that produces variation in inherited characteristics, has shown that allele frequency comparisons among different human populations rarely show any discontinuities between them (Marks, 2002; Molnar, 1998). Like the allele analysis, studies that focus on comparing different and varied human populations help to support the perception that human physical traits vary gradually across the entire global landscape. Differences in height, skin color, and hair texture are simply the result of climate-related variation. The reason for the different appearances of an individual from China and a native Kenyan is that across the environmental landscape small changes have produced different ways of dealing with those environments. To say that a Kenyan is naturally more attuned to becoming a champion runner is simply false; he or she is simply more attuned to living in his or her environment in the best way dictated or determined by human evolution.

The wide range of physical differences among people across the global environmental landscape makes it exceedingly difficult to entertain the notion that there are four or five non-overlapping, distinct races. The more scientists measure human traits, the fewer discrete differences they find. As Marks writes, “Nature has not created four or five distinct, non-overlapping genetic groups of people, but rather the human species possesses remarkably little genetic variation when compared with other organisms” (2002: 34). However, in his preface, Entine initially sets up his argument by stating, “Biological factors specific to populations can exaggerate the impact of anatomical differences” (2000: xi). This is in stark contrast to scientific studies which, time and time again, have failed to locate concrete biological differences specific only to certain populations. Noted social critic Pilar Ossario observes, “We can't find any genetic markers that are in everybody of a particular race and in nobody of some other race” (2003).

You are saying white supremacist arguments that do nothing but discredit the work and effort of black people world wide and reduce their accomplishments, as well as setting up non blacks as deserving of more praise for doing the same actions.

 

[FabTrey]

you nikkas lyin to yourself if you think we don't have more fast twitchy muscles than other races

ain't no cacs be running 4.3 40 dash anytime soon

jeremy lin faster than any cac ballers and he is the only asian baller in the nba.

Ryan Swope just did.



Don Beebe ran a 4.21 forty in 1989, matching Deion. Hand-timed for both though.

Looked it up and Matt Jones, Kevin Curtis, and Jeremy Bloom were right there too.

Matt Jones was a QB at 6'6", 242lbs, 4.37 forty, 40-inch vertical and a 10'10" broad jump, and did NOTHING on the NFL.

No, im not discrediting any hard work and effort of black athletes. At the same time its stupid to believe that black people just work harder at the elite level when everyone else is competing. Everyone works hard at elite level athletics. Theres a reason west africans dominate explosive sports and sprints and thats because we have more fast twitch muscles.

The logic racist use is that whites must be more intelligent if blacks are more athletic but there is no scientific proof of this. The black man is not only the best athlete on the planet he is also just as intelligent as any other man on the planet.

 

[LurkMoar]

With that logic i guess white people just need to work harder to start competing in sprinting.
