Anyone who doesn't believe that human characteristics and traits can be bred has absolutely no understanding of genetics.
Of course it is not exact, but the study of genetics is the study of probability.
Is it not true that two tall persons breeding are more likely to have tall offspring???
Is it not true that two short people breeding are more likely to have short offspring???
How many times have you seen a man and woman with coarse tight kinky hair produce a child with fine straight hair?....never. And if they did you would be looking at daddy like...."damn bro, you sure that's yours?"
And why is it even something to get upset about???
Put it like this. Their thinking and vast knowledge isn't enough to contribute to this conversation. Just like you my eyes and mind don't lie.
Peace,
Physical characteristics? Of course. But talk of "breeding" humans and the like comes dangerously close to supporting eugenics, bruh. And given the history of this country, it's also not the wisest thing for a white man to be talking publicly of pairing off slaves.
So because it isn't wise to talking publicly about pairing doesn't make it true. I know one this. With this comment I won't respond to you anymore because you basically exposed your thinking. Either I'm smart or your dumb because muscles are physical characteristics.
Maybe it is not wise, but was it not fact? And just because one understands the science, doesn't mean they support the practice. But as a matter of fact, one must understand the science to even make an educated decision on whether they support the application of the science or not.
That is what slave masters did....they bought and sold us as chattel. And yes, some males were bought based on their physical characteristics with the intent of fucking and producing offspring with similar characteristics.
Trust me man. You are wasting your time arguing with these cats. Animals are no different from humans except for the fact that we have larger brains; therefore I can't see why pairing humans would be a different from pairing animals.
Peace,
Let me ask you this. Do the following comments sound like science to you?
"The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid."
If you know any better you would know black people tend to have smaller thighs than whites. Our muscles are more dense. Unfortunately you didn't know that. I remember this white dude told me in the gym when I was asking how can I get bigger calves like him. He said, "I'm suffering from Black Man legs". Basically I have stronger calves than him, but my calves are smaller because of my dense muscles.
Peace,
Of course, bruh. I also already agreed with you about the fact that physical characteristics can be passed down. But to attribute black athletic superiority to slave breeding is ridiculous. Particularly given the fact that most of us have a much more complex genetic history than we care to acknowledge.
This sounds like a dumb response on your behalf. If you are constantly working in fields all day long your muscles WILL become stronger. Last time I check muscles are physical attributes. Ok Mr. Paragraph. Answer this question for me how come most of your dominate sprinters are black people from the Western Hemisphere. When was the last time Africa produced a 100 or 200 meter sprint?? Aren't Africans and Western Africans both black???? When was the last time you seen a 100 or 200 meter White sprinter?? You can't tell me some white athletes don't work as hard as black sprinters? Notice all your fast sprinters in history came from the Western Hemisphere. Here is something else for you to think about. Why can't 2 red heads produce a blonde child?
I just don't see why that is so much of a jump....
if for over 200 years we were paired to maximize our physical characteristics, then it follows that those characteristics continue in us....
especially since it was only within the last 30 years or so that we began procreating outside of our race in any significant numbers.
It is just that now those physical characteristics are used to make millions instead of carry bags of cotton and tobacco.
Just my two cents...peace...I'm out
Dude your logic isn't a jump. Your logic is on point.
You're a fool.
First of all there is no factual basis for the assertion that many (if any) slaves were bred for various physical attributes. Secondly, strength is not a genetic feature. Propensity for muscle fiber type is a genetic trait but what humans become is dependent on genes and environment. It is not a given that 2 strong people would produce a strong child. The whole idea of that is stupid. A lot more goes into whether or not a person is strong than genetics- most of it is not dependent on genetics beyond a certain basic healythy physiological standpoint.
Two tall people don't automatically have tall offspring dipshit. It requires active genes and environment. Illness in great grandparents, grandparents, parents, offspring as well as other environmental features like diet play a major role in that. Your great grand parenits play a role in whether or not you will die of heart disease all based on genes activated through their eating well or not, being sick or not decades ago.
Beyond all that there was no slavery eugenics program cultivating a master black race of athletes.
Post your data backing up your assertions that anything to do with slavery makes us better athletes. I don't give a fuck if you suck Jesse Jackson's dick in between working at homeless shelters you are an asshole and a moron who attempts to lend credibility to baseless assertions made by racists to explain away the hardwork of black athletes as some sort of unavoidable gift. The fact that you don't see or don't care about the motivations behind such false accusations shows us the type of coon morons we have supposedly "helping" our own.
At the end of the day you're right on this board talking shit too so stfu and log off or come with facts and logic or get exposed as an intellectually vapid fake talented tenth ass fraud nigga.
I'm just as much of a fool as you. The difference between you and me on this board is my inbox is full of questions being ask about shit to help other brothas which I do on a consistent basis with results. Last time I check you don't ask a fool for advice. So your personal attacks doesn't affect me. I do notice most cats on this board with extremely high post counts don't have too much to say. This board is an outlet for you to ramble your chops because in your daily life outside of this board you probably don't get any type of respect.
Good drop Makk.
The fact that some will believe Michael Jordan just walked on a court and did his thing is so foolish. It washes away the hard work and dedication the man put in, the type applied by a scientist that would lead him to a Nobel Prize.
As you said the socialization of this country perpetuates stereotypes and so a lot of young black men "feel" that the way out of they current environment is sports & entertainment.
As a black immigrant I consistently out perform and am way above my Asian colleagues, the ones that whites feel have a high IQ. same thing with my other African colleagues.
A lot of the shit is environment, in my original contry the way out of poverty is education. therefore there is a very strong drive to become educated. As a result we don't make a big deal about high school graduation, undergrad graduation until maybe Postgrad and that still depends on the parent.....
The fact that African Americans can discount African achievements as not belonging to them maens that that bred for physical shit can soak into their psyche.
50 000 yrs of intellectual achievement >>>> 300 years of physical slavery
Which traits do you think would dominate for you eugenics folks?

Michael Jordan is a superior athlete because he possesses one of the 10 or 11 types of intelligences. He possesses sports intelligence. Combine his intelligence with drive and his unique physically ability to maneuver in the air and you have a superior athlete.
