    I am not saying that sex was controlled but yes they were treated as animals even pets can develop their own attractions and attachments but like pets their offspring can be sold off.

    Under the law slaves (black Americans) were treated as property and almost zero protections. The way a slave was treated 100% depended on who owned them.... which was and is disgusting.

    Yeah.

    It's very telling that the person who is always blaming black people for their plights is now trying to say slavery was not that bad.

    This kinda reminds me of the time when a genetics laboratory carried out a secret experiment combining the DNA of six fathers to produce the perfect child.

    Leaving aside the heinous nature of slavery I just don’t think it physically could’ve been done.

    Maybe over a thousand+ years under strict control -- but humans seem to do well enough on their own.

    Isn't this the guy that used the specialized shoe, the professional pacers, course designed to be quick, etc? The shoe alone improves your speed by like 4%. Not sure if he's break 2 hours without it. It begs the question of whether it counts or not...


    Although I hate to be that guy. It just begs to question, as equipment gets better, training gets better, etc., Especially in some sports, it's going to be a blurred line.

    An amazing feat, though. Absolutely astonishing.

    It's not official it was just to physically beat the time.

    Like the Bugatti going 300 mph.

    A flaw in his argument is that different sports require different attributes. Speed vs power vs explosiveness doesn't map with making a slave able to work longer hours in a field. Not to mention the time frame you'd have to do that over before you could get results.

    It's just a very uninformed and ignorant viewpoint based on taking something that he doesn't know anything about (breeding) and applying it to something he knows nothing about (slavery)

    I know about slavery bro. Thanks though.
    Treated like animals and behave like animals are two different things. Yes slaves had limited options but that's a different subject

    You're just arguing to argue. We know slaves were raped. Also a different subject

    Don't know what you trying to prove. You're all over the place.

    Like everyone else said about time it couldn't have. It would have to at least be a multi generational plan by the slave owners

    Slaves weren't limited to their plantation. They encountered slaves from other plantations. We all think about the big plantation but a lot of slaves were on smaller farms with only a few slaves. They traveled with their owners and encountered other slaves

    I am trying to gain some insight on selective breeding and I have said that many times.

    You are the one coming with your hot take on animals and slavery that has nothing to do with the topic.

    Every time you post you are all over the place.

    See this is the part I am not getting.

    It did not take thousand plus years to create different species of cattle or dogs, is that because of the ability of those animals to procreate earlier than humans?

    How about the fact that tallness tends to run in families?

    I am not talking about breeding to change an entire race I am just talking about as an example tall people procreating with tall people and that makes a better chance of having a pro ball player, not guaranteed but a better chance.

    Also if 2 parents are athletes its a better chance for their offspring to excel, I guess it's more of probability question with selective breeding.

    How do genes factor in the equation when procreating along bloodlines.

    I mean there is a reason most skill positions in football and basketball are populated mostly with black people and white people have had better nutrition than blacks historically in the U.S.
