    Blacks don't dominate running. African-Americans & Jamaicans do. They're black, yes, but it's inaccurate to say "blacks dominate running", because that implies anyone of black African ancestry runs the fastest. It's specifically African-Americans or those of Jamaican (or other slave descent). As someone has pointed out, the slave masters would make the biggest, strongest male ****** reproduce with the biggest, strongest female ******. Thus producing the ultimate slave. Also, that journey across the Atlantic would have been no ****ing joke. If you made it, it was because you were the strongest. Most died on the way over, and were dumped in the middle of the Atlantic (middle passage). So, after 300 years of this going on, this probably had an effect on blacks in the Americas (their genetics). Blacks from Africa aren't the same blacks from the Americas. Also, blacks from the Americas have admixture, and there's a theory that admixture (in this case, mainly European & indigenous American) makes genes stronger. Most blacks in the Americas are actually mixed.

          That's long-distance running. They, and the Ethiopians dominate there too.

              This is a ridiculous notion about ****** being captured based on size and strength is laughable. They captured any slave they could get their hands on regardless of size and power. Majority of the people in Western Africa are naturally stocky anyways. Also surviving the trip has nothing to do with being strong but rather luck. If you were on a boat that had less disease than your chances of surviving were greater also food quality as well comes into it.

              The biggest myth is

              Biology 101 already debunks this miserable idea. Just because you are strong and powerful and your wife is as well, doesn’t automatically mean your child will be the same, it has a lot to do with nutrition, lifestyle, genetics and diet and luck as well.

              Finally, Jamaicans and African Americans are from the EXACT same stock as those from West Africa, there is literally no genetic difference between these people. They are the same just in different countries. West Africa as well has produce numerous males to run 100m under 10 seconds with their poor facilities and training.

              Most Blacks in America are NOT mixed.

                    Don't be an upstart now, if I'm wrong just tell me instead of being such an agitator.
