    No.

    Intelligent, ambitious blacks were shut out of education, property and business ownership and professional or even administrative work; and for a hell of a lot longer than all other immigrants to this country (who married and bred their way out of the underclass and compounded the exclusion and suppression of blacks).

    The only occupations we were allowed to succeed at were sports and entertainment; which have always been low-skill, but were originally also low-wage, blue-collar jobs before distribution networks and copyright laws made them more lucrative.

    That's the whole story.

    Uh no that's not whole story, yes blacks where shut out of a lot of things but sports and entertainment where the only way to succeed and blacks were kept out of most sports until the 50's and 60's.

    And what does any of this have to do with the initial question.

    Dogs have long been considered man's best friend, but their characteristics of loyalty and protectiveness have also earned them the lesser known title of "cheetah's best friend." That's right; dogs are being used more and more frequently to assist in conservation efforts to preserve the endangered cheetah both in captivity and in the wild.
    ...
    "A dominant dog is very helpful because cheetahs are quite shy instinctively, and you can't breed that out of them. When you pair them, the cheetah looks to the dog for cues and learns to model their behavior. It's about getting them to read that calm, happy-go-lucky vibe from the dog.

    Dogs can bred extremely quick and who they breed with can be strictly controlled. Dogs that were bred and did not have the traits wanted could be killed or not allowed to breed. Dogs can have multiple babies at once and multiple litters in such a short time. That isn’t the case with humans at all.

    Also dogs that are being bred and being done so for a particular purpose (for example rescue or pulling).

    Last some breeds of dogs have been around a very long time.

    So if you could take humans and do the same over a thousand or more years, you likely make people all close to 7’0” tall or some other trait... it just has never happened.

    Also remember the vast majority of African Americans have European in their bloodline and as Europeans were not slaves, these people did not breed with ideal athletic candidates. Further using that logic African Americans from 200 years ago should be better athletes than AA now as there hasn’t been forced breeding in 160 years.

    My hot take was that slaves were people and didn't start jumping on each other just being in the same room like animals. They had relationships

    Sports and entertainment have never been the only way for non-blacks or non-minorities to succeed in the United States. Ambitious and intelligent blacks were shut out of every other path. The entire country is burning because dipshits like you can't see 40 million blacks as anything other than the 3,000 or so athletes, comedians and musicians who are obviously outliers of some kind. You posted an incoherent clip from a bigot who's career depended on sports and asked the grown ups to explain where blacks like me were bred like dogs and pigs. Get your dumb bigoted ass to a library and do your own ****ing research.

    Back in slavery times, Obama would be called a white man, OP. Kids followed the mother's race. You know why? Grab your pee-pee and get ready for fun! So the white master could do your breeding project on black women! White men with nice strong thighs could rape black slaves with nice strong thighs and then sell the black kids with nice strong thighs so their wives wouldn't get mad. You like that, OP? Factor it into your Nazi breeding studies.

    Dude, you can buy Nazi eye color testers and nose-width measurers if you want to start checking for people's Breeding Ratio.

    Good luck with your studies on breeding humans. Did you catch any humans to breed yet?

    Considering they got rid of the center position I'm not so sure about that.

    This is already an issue in many sports. Swimming had a big issue regarding shark skin suits that greatly reduce drag while increasing buoyancy. Most sports have very careful and strict regulations on equipment.

    Russian scientists have tamed the fox in just a few decades.
    They kept the friendly foxes and killed the rest and the result is now a tamed fox with floppy ears, twirling tail who acts like a puppy seeking human attention.


    Also another thing..who said europeans werent slaves? Every european has most likely at least one slave ancestor.
    Slavery in europe lasted for FAR longer than slavery lasted in the new world. Apart for slavery even later the serfs in manu regions had to ask their lord when to marry. And then for the free there was arranged marriages, where traits like how good warrior, or how strong a farmer was were valued. Its not like now when everyone can marry everyone they want.

    If human eugenics was done so easily every population on earth would be super athletes.

    There have been European slaves, I limited it to AA because that is the group Jimmy the Greek discussed.

    Yes I am aware of the Russian Fox. Nothing like that has been done with humans before.
