Michael Johnson says Slave Breeding led to Slavery Descendants being better athletes

Yes he did. Fortunately for Michael Johnson, he is not an employee of a major media outlet.

 

It doesn't have any merit.

 

it is not PC to talk about the subject, but from are purely science point of view, I believe it is valid. If you really pair off athletes for generations, you could create super athletes. theoretically you should be able to get super smart kids by pairing of geniuses as well I guess. But it takes centuries for something like this to began to work, so it is just a theory.

 

This is why the Olympics should be white only.

 

Sic em

 

1) It gives a different explanation than doping.
2) It gives a different explanation than purely race.
3) I have no idea whether it has merit, but don't think one can just dismiss it.

 

This his been stated by a lot of people.

 

It's not slavery it's West African genes.

The reason why Americans and Caribbean athletes dominate is the West African countries don't have the ability to develop its human capital, in this case in sports.

I mean in the 80s sprints were dominated by Americans, if it's slavery then the Jamaicans should have been dominant back then. They have a better program today and thus have more success.

Africans are not one race Africa is a huge continent, much bigger than most Americans can even fathom, and the populations were extremely isolated, breeding bio diversity. Rome had roads stretching all the way to the Horn of Africa and Iran but blacks in Africa 500 miles apart might be separated by 10,000 years of evolution.

West Africans have the fast twitch, East Africans have the long distance genes. It's like comparing Asians. NE Asians like Manchurians, Koreans Japanese have 110 IQ. You go down to Southeast Asia and their IQs are in the 90s like whites. Deke for example, is African but doesn't have the same gene as Johnson.

I really don't think it's slavery. You can't evolve that **** in 400 years and West Africa (where the slaves originated) today have those fast twitch muscles. Plus slave masters didn't "breed" their slaves. This is just ignorance and hubris by American blacks who believe themselves superior not only to white Americans but black Africans as well? That **** is just stupid.

 

Honestly, I would enjoy a serious discussion on the matter -- humans are just animals -- why couldn't we benefit from selective breeding? Of course selective breeding does nothing to explain the Kenyans dominance in distance running or Americans/ Australians ability to swim fast which would be natural selection. Well, we do know the why, but not the how.

 

KingCheetah, how exactly did you think the white peoples got to Australia. I mean, duh they scan swim really well.

 

Not really. It's important to understand why this has been so wide spread and believed. It fits everyone's biased beliefs and it is a well known fact that we are always more receptive to idea that fit our own little biased model of the world.

It fits into BS models of:

Blacks should be grateful for slavery.
Black athletes are a product of white intervention.
Blacks are sub human.

Also:

Makes white slave owners look more evil and maniacal.
Discounts hard work, natural talent.

This eugenics crap just didn't happen, and certainly isn't in anyway responsible for Usain Bolt or Andre Johnson.

 

Yao Ming's parents as potential evidence?

 

Oh, there wasn't a land bridge?

 

Trophy wives marrying nerdy business execs has lead to the demise of white athletes.

 

The irony of all this is that if a rogue black scientist didn't create the white man in a test tube a thousand years ago, the birth of the oppressor would have never taken place. Talk about poor foresight.

 

No, it totally makes that point. It doesn't matter if 'blacks should be grateful for slavery' is a totally asinine, racist idea or not. Someone who tries to make it could use the preponderance of american blacks in athletics as support.
