Yes, black folks have a higher bone density giving them a disadvantage in swimming and a longer bone to which the Achilles tendon attaches giving them an advantage in running and jumping

Please refer me to an authoritative source supporting that statement.

How about pasting in something that can be easily reviewed or accessed since I have serious doubts as to the authenticity of your statements.

I am sorry to hear you find trouble reading but you asked for authoritative sources if you want the kiddies version I suggest you try google but don't expect it to be authoritative

If you read it somewhere, you can post it here, but otherwise, I challenge you to document it in writing.

If you can't post it, I must regretfully come to the conclusion that it's probably a big fat lie.

I don't think it's a false accusation. You have easy access to this journal. Publish or perish, my friend!

Such reproduction of copyrighted material which has been published elsewhere is neither ethical nor necessary.

Bob, you've called on rantal to cite some reputable sources and she or he has. The burden now clearly lies with you to show why those citations should not be trusted. Suggesting that rantal's failure to copy and paste something, so as to free you from the task of finding copies of the cited sources and checking them yourself, is somehow proof of her dishonesty - that is merely further evidence (if more were needed) of your feeble grip on reality.

Kant wrote On the Different Races of Man (Über die verschiedenen Rassen der Menschen, 1775), as an attempted scientific classification of human races.

"The yellow Indians do have a meagre talent. The Negroes are far below them, and at the lowest point are a part of the American people".

"Scientific racism is the use of pseudoscientific techniques and hypotheses to support or justify the belief in racism, racial inferiority, or racial superiority". Wikipedia.

"Black" means, West Africans, Kenyans and African-Americans. West Africans are perfect for sprinting and Kenyans for long distance. Are there differences between the two and African-americans. The majority of black Americans have descended from slaves from Western Africa and, 90% have some white ancestry, which makes black and white to be inexact when speaking about Black Americans. With this in mind, black may well be more white than black. This may well prove that it is wrong to assume blacks are better runners than whites. Or, it might suggest that even a degree of black ancestry, can give someone the genetic variation to create a better than average athletic ability.

Well, iMod, it's too bad that American sports commentator Jimmy the Greek lost his TV job some years ago by referring to certain African American physical characteristics when he could have easily referred to Rantal's material to corroborate his story. Apparently, all the news media also weren't aware of this material, and that is why I question its authenticity. I guess one way to support my views in this forum is to fictitiously refer to some scientific journal from years back that nobody in his right mind is actually going to investigate. Am I perhaps being too bold to consider that it might be you who has a feeble grip on reality? P.S. As an aside, what do you think of Bill Wiltrack's grip on reality (see the following post)?

What the hells an African-American? American is not a race, you mean Africans I presume. There is at least one concrete exception here, boxing.

I'll stand by my prior statements. WORD. FOR. WORD.




...And I will add African-American boxers have dominated the sport for the last 50 years at least.





Standing my ground. RIGHT HERE.
