Black Men Can't Jump
(7/7/04) If one was to judge by the amount of
medals given out at the Olympics the first question that would come to mind is
"Why can't black men jump?" That would be a normal response to the fact
that nearly all of the medals awarded in the "high jump" event in the history of
the Olympics have been won by persons of white heritage.
What to make of
this seeming contradiction? We are regularly bombarded with propaganda
that "White Men Can't Jump." It is part of the common lexicon.
Sportscasters, and players often refer to the supposed fact that "white men
can't jump." However when Olympic medals are on the line (and in
international track meets) white men are the BEST jumpers.
True, black
athletes dominate in the LONG JUMP, an event which measures distance traveled in
the air after running a while, but really, when people talk about jumping they
really want to know: how high? And when it comes to jumping high --- white
athletes dominate.
Curious that in America the white athlete is
considered an earth bound slug, unable to jump and soar like the black
athlete. This image is reinforced by the NBA, which limits the number of
great white jumpers by: A) selecting few white players at all. B) only
selecting large, bulky, white players. C) ignoring that many white
basketball players are fine jumpers: Brent Barry, Keith Van Horne, Andrei
Kirelenko, and Dirk Nowitzki, just to name a few.
Jumping skill is
emphasized in the NFL too, at the receiver position, where whites are limited in
number by the same caste system at work in the NBA. White receivers are
also excellent jumpers but it is never pointed out because everyone knows (all
together now): white men can't jump. I'll note that Stuwart Sweigert, a
rookie safety selected by the Oakland Raiders, had the second highest vertical
jump at the NFL combines this year. But really, what's the big deal?
Whites out-jump everyone in the world as a matter of record.
Why the
disconnect between public perception and actual performance? Mostly it is
due to the media, which has a large incentive to trumpet the physical
superiority of black athletes. Also, political and social leaders use the
myth of black physical superiority to advance their agenda. The black man
as superman allows propagandists to do all kind of things. Black male
under-achievement in nearly all other areas can be covered up. White males
can be made to feel impotent in comparison even though their achievements in
virtually all other areas of society is superior. Finally, the
multi-cultural enthusiasts have plenty of salesmen because all of the high media
exposure athletes are black.
Black sprinters, it is true, are currently
dominant. Also the long distance races are dominated by Kenyans.
Disturbing discoveries of performance enhancing drug use by sprinters and long
distance runners is coming to light which may wreck the reputations of many
formally highly regarded athletes. Doping aside, black men and women are
excellent sprinters. The reason for that is no doubt genetic.
Most people
feel it is OK to attribute superior physical qualities to people of African
descent. The primitive nature of the African continent contributes to this
stereotype. Many black people, although certainly not all, have less
subcutaneous body fat then whites/asians and appear more muscular. Note
that muscular appearance does not correlate to strength. If that were true
then all of those grotesquely muscular body builders would be among the
strongest men in the world. They are not. Solid looking eastern Europeans
win most weight lifting contests and they are, of course, white.
I guess
the stereotype of Africans running around the jungle for the last few millennia
while white people have been kicking back creating the modern world is what
makes people think they have an "edge" in athletics. I'm not exactly sure
what running they were doing though. There aren't many animals in Africa
slower then a human, no matter how fast they are, so I don't know what they were
running from or to. The Kenyan's success at long distances is supposed to
be attributed to them being "cattle herders." I can't imagine people
running around all day long herding cows, but of course white people
domesticated horses and dogs for the job---so who knows? I might also add
that if ancient African life was so helpful for modern athletic success then why
don't Africans ever win the javelin throw?
Scientifically black
success in sports is usually attributed to them having a higher percentage of
"fast twitch" muscles. While you can find out a lot about "fast-twitch
muscles" you can't find anything about comparative measurements by race, which
would prove the theory. Unfortunately people are reluctant to discuss
physical racial differences, with many "experts" denying they even exist.
No doubt they are paranoid it will lead to an accusation of lesser black
intelligence so they choose to ignore any racial differences at all. Oddly those
same experts can determine a cadavers race by DNA, skull shape, jaw position,
etc. so you might wonder what all the fuss is about.
White people are the
worlds best swimmers, gymnasts, weight lifters, high jumpers, and run
competitively at most distances over 100 meters (the last 200 meter gold medal
winner was Konstantinos Kenteris of Greece.) White's are the worlds best
throwers of everything; discus, hammer, javelin, shot, even baseballs and
footballs. The soccer players of the white countries of Europe are considered
the best. White athletes are the exclusive leaders in hockey, golf,
tennis, auto racing, horseback riding, shooting, archery, kick boxing and many
other sporting activities too numerous to mention. Black athletes dominate
in only basketball, football, sprinting, marathons and boxing.
Looking
impartially at the evidence at hand it is obvious that white athletes are
superior to the athletes of other races. It is only through the endless,
grinding, propaganda of those that practice racial discrimination against white
people, that this truth is not obvious and celebrated. At castefootball.us
