Are blacks better sprinters? Sure, but only because of white racism
Of the top 9 100m sprinters ever, all are black and six are from Jamaica. What makes certain populations of blacks excel at sprinting? Historical white cruelty says the UK Daily Mail.
Johnson, however, is unabashed: ‘It is a taboo subject in the States, but it is what it is,’ he says. ‘Why shouldn’t we discuss it?’
Usain Bolt holds similar beliefs. The sprinter was born in Trelawny Parish, a Jamaican area that was formerly the site of several slave plantations.
Asked about his record-breaking 100m performance in 2009, he said: ‘It’s a background from slavery. The guys back in the day were so strong from physical work . . . the genes are really strong.’
The controversial theory supporting these claims goes back to 2003, when Australian scientists discovered that a gene called ACTN3 has variants which may give performance advantage to the muscles of elite athletes.
In effect, it can give sprinters a boost because it gives extra power to muscle cells that are required for fast, forceful actions. Studies show that this ‘sprint’ version of the ACTN3 gene is more common in Jamaicans, for example, and others of West African descent than in people of European ancestry.

The theory speculates that this gene has been concentrated in these athletes because their ancestors journeyed from captivity in West Africa to slavery in the Caribbean under brutal conditions.
Why is it we are allowed to recognize the athletic superiority of blacks — particularly in running, jumping, and fleeing from police — but we are NOT allowed to point out the massively significant 15 to 21 I.Q. point superiority of whites over blacks?
July 3rd, 2012 at 8:50 amIn spite of the obligatory added kiss-ass PC by journalist John Naish, I guess the title of the article could be “The Races are NOT Equal”. I can live with that.

The guys back in the day were so strong from physical work . . . the genes are really strong…’ Here, as always, the under-evolved frontal lobes of you-know-who fails to allow them to distinguish between “acquired” and “inherited” traits, just like Lysenko failed to do when he set Soviet Agriculture back 100 years in the 1930s…
July 3rd, 2012 at 10:27 amYeah, right. They changed genetically race-wide over a couple of hundred years of exposure to whites. Nice try. And people will actually listen to this dolt, while dismissing plausible theories as “junk science” because it doesn’t conform to politically correct dogma. Somebody stuff a sock in this giy’s mouth!
July 3rd, 2012 at 10:53 amIn Usain Bolt’s case, the business end of a syringe makes him a better sprinter. Jamaican drug testing, hardy har har.
July 3rd, 2012 at 11:30 amA few hundred years of slavery is not long enough time for much physical genetic changes to take place. Their physical edge is due to thousands of years of a primative lifestyle that selected for the strongest. Since they were cannibals the best runners were able to catch the weak ones and eat them and so only the fast ones lived to pass on fast twitch muscles.
July 3rd, 2012 at 12:25 pmAny occasion to use anti-white rhetoric. Proves that all whites needed to become activists and counter rhetoric with rhetoric. Don’t forget to use the white genocide mantra and the words: ANTI-WHITE.
“Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White Countries for Everyone
Annihilation by Assimilation
Nobody is saying that Africa needs diversity.
Nobody is saying that Asia needs diversity.
They are already 100% diverse.
People are only telling white children in white countries that they need diversity.
White countries will be 100% diverse when there are no white people left.
Diversity is a code-word for the genocide of white people….”
AND OF COURSE “anti-racist is a codeword for anti-white.”
July 3rd, 2012 at 1:07 pmBlacks can spring faster that Whites because being able to run very fast allowed them to escape dangerous predators in Africa.
July 3rd, 2012 at 1:30 pmJimmy the Greek said that and got fired.
July 3rd, 2012 at 4:57 pmSo doesn’t this mean that blacks owe whites for something? Just asking. But are they appreciative? No damn it. They’re not.
July 5th, 2012 at 11:08 amIf we follow Johnson’s ‘logic’ then, from an evolutionary standpoint, shouldn’t the descendants of West Africans who could out run the slave catchers be faster than the obviously slower runners who were captured and sent to Jamaica? Just sayin’ since Negro logic often escapes me.
July 6th, 2012 at 3:27 pmTheir greater agility at running and jumping probably came about from trying to outrun all those lions,tigers, and bull elephants!

July 25th, 2012 at 6:01 pmearlier than Whites or E. Asians. This is in fact well known by coaches,
academics, the media but ignored. Because there is a social agenda
behind pushing black superiority in athletics. This is why the NFL
openly despises fast White QB’s and will work like hell to make sure
they don’t start
Blacks are better runners because they have wider nostrils, which accounts for superior cooling and flow of oxygen, similiar to cheetas who are the fastest amongst the cats. Really, if you pay attention, you’ll notice they don’t really dominate athletic disciplines in which running is not discisive.
