Genetically, Black people(particulary those of West African descent) are better at sports. This is down to there ethnic group and the way they have evolved to the enviroment around them. People of West African descent are better at sports because they have more type 1 fiber muscles than any other ethnic group. This muscle fiber is better for more explosive quick movement. This is why some of the biggest sport stars in the world are black e.g Usain Bolt, Lebron James, Drogba.While Eastern Africans are some of the best long distance runners in the world because they have type 2 fiber muscles which are suited to durability, which is why we see Ethopia and Kenya dominating in various long distance running events. In the world today it is clear the reason more black people arent dominating various other sports is because that the black community is located in lower income areas(does not apply to everyone). With improved facilites in the populated black areas Im sure that many sports would be dominated by black people.Whos to say Ghana or the Ivory Coast cant win the world cup in a few years with improved facilities? @Onas your comment is racist but the reason black people dont dominate sports such as Javelin is not because they dont have the technical capability but because they are not supplied with the facilites to compete in these events. It is this reason that is holding the black community from dominating world sport. And yes you will get other sports stars from various ethnic groups which will compete at the top level but the Fact of the matter is In general black people are genetically better at sports.

That's true to an extent, but that's not what I was arguing. Onas said "blacks aren't technical enough for freestyle or wise." - something like that (I don't feel like re-reading his garbage.) His post was racist because he SAID blacks cannot do a certain thing based of their race. It's arguable that they are genetically better as far as muscle goes, but the difference between muscle and a sport is huge. Muscle is what prepares you for a sport, a sport is the concentration and determination you put into it. Look at Mirko, his body is ectomorphic but he is able to do insane amatw nt and matw nt combos with the little (I say that not to belittle you Mirko) muscle.

Onas said they're not capable of achieving great heights in fs, concentration outweighs muscle any day.

Epic Thread Is Epic.

@BevS i usually like your posts but, he said the inadequate thing about javelin and not for fs then he went on to mention FS because that is the purpose of this thread and he didnt say anything he stated what he wonders.. its quite evident if you read it again. There is not a bit of racism in his post. its just people start screaming racism when they hear the word black, and thats what you just did when you could have argued about what he actually wanted to say.
you guys calling him fuc*head or whatever without giving him a chance to explain himself is not less than racism.
I follow boxing and i have exactly the same question as he had.
last month when Manny Pacquiao won the 8th division title and proved he is the best pound for pound ever. the first criticism he got was that he never fought a black guy and they have the 'slick' style in the sport which makes them good and could give manny a hard time.
After hearing such stuff its natural to have questions and Onas said he thinks which is NOT stating fact. so give it a rest and let G clear it up for us.

Aight, let's put an end to the racist discussion henceforth. I don't know if you guys think that it's funny or whatever, but if you come to beyondfootball to be amused by racist discussion, you have come to the wrong place. This was initially a very interresting topic, and I don't want any racist discussion to ruin that. Merry christmas to you all, black and white, well equipped or not so well equiped! :D

I think that anyone nomatter their race can become a great freestyler so long as they practice heaps!
Look at RBSS many different ethnicities represented in the top 16

LMAO!

how many races do you think exist? and out of the top 16 there are only a few who aren't white.

Race and ethnicity are 2 different things.   read up before you insult someone.

I just thought it was funny he said they weren't "wise or technically adequate".
Clearly that has nothing to do with it. Such a moronic statement needs to be backed up with at least 1 reliable source.
Then he goes on with a second statement, it's hilarious.

I never said that Onas was a racist, I just thought it was an incredibly unintelligent statement. Obviously he wasn't acting like a racist he just wanted to act smart and come up with something he thought sounded clever.

[Cogliono Grande]

Guys guys, this is the end of the discussion about whether Onas is racist, unintelligent or not. I myself didn't think it was the smartest post ever written, but that is nevertheless not what this topic is about. If this isn't stopped right now, I'll close the topic. Let's not ruin such an initially interresting topic with racism bullshit.

No shit.

OMG, ok, I hope you all feel like your intelligence is comparable to guys that have been into sport for like 20 years or more. The thing about black people is not from my head.
BevS, I wasnt talking just to you in my second post, you can see lot of ignorant people desperately trying to take me down... Maybe I was referring to you as one of these "noobs" because I was angry, but the title "fake freestyler" belongs to someone else...
I didn't want to post in here again, but I can see lots of idiots unable to read when I told them let it be, not to continue ruining this thread
tbc, thanks, it's really a relief that some people use brain/have one...

Before you read this, i must warn you, i am quite drunk because its christmas day, so if it makes no sense, give me a break

tbc: im sorry you were disappointed by my posts... however i must disagree with what you said, he did say it about FS, he used javelin as an example and then said FS is the same. Now i know exactly what you mean when you said "its just people start screaming racism when they hear the word black", i totally agree and i hate that... However, my posts were not like that, my biggest problem was with him saying that black people arent "wise" enough and thats why they arent successful at javelin/FS... in my opinion that is a racist comment and no1 will ever convince me otherwise. He was generalizing an entire race and it seemed as if he was saying they weren't smart enough to be good at it... However, i do understand that his word choice may be because of the language/cultural barrier that exists between people from different countries on this forum. He may not have meant the statement how i read it. Either way, it offended me and thats why i felt compelled to post.

anyway, sorry if i may have caused the thread to stray from its original topic.

Merry Christmas, love you all! even Onas

Find one fake thing Ive done in the past year and that'd hurt my feelings. You also attacked people first so use your brain and realize there are repercussions for your actions.
