This guy tried to answer that question decades ago and got fired because of it.

And four years later a movie was made, “White Men Can’t Jump.” A sequel was also made.

Say what you want about the sec and math but at least it's name is not mismatched with its number of members.

Genetics plus evolution plus selective breeding practices
Or the TLDR version - Science

OMG, newsflash... black folks returning home to the South after moving to the Midwest during Jim Crow made Southern football relevant.
So you think there was a scarcity of black folks in the South in the mid 20th century?

Still bitter about what happened when the BCS killed that cozy little Rose Bowl deal and those Midwest teams had to start playing the southern teams, huh?

What we need is a quota system for all sports to help Whitey out so we can get the starter numbers up to what the race demographics of the country are. 
dims love their quotas, don't they?

I live in swla where we had very few slaves but about 30% of the pop is black
We don’t have nearly the big time recruits as the river parishes or nela where there were more slaves

Basically this. When your ancestors were bred like thoroughbreds at some point, those genes do not just disappear. Not to mention the environment that the Africans lived in as well hundreds of years ago and still today in some places.

Slavic and northern euro blood tends to generate the strongest human stock...
Albeit, probably not pound for pound...
Also, one African haplogroup appears amazing at short twitch strength like jumping and sprinting...while the other haplogroup generates long distance runners...
Lot of the euro genes seem to build a layer of fat for swimming and cold...

I wish we werent such a PC country and someone could study why blacks are better athletes, it could possibly lead to better training techniques for different races based on the differnce in physiology if there is one. The same goes for intelligence, do whites and asians score better because of advantages or just a little smarter, it could possibly lead to new education techniques.

I feel I can post this without coming off as racist because the concept wa presented to me by an Af-Am history professor in a “Black Nationalism” class I took with Marquis Hill and Chad Lavalais at LSU.
In the south we brea slaves to work the cotton and sugar cane fields, we needed big wide strong guys to push the plow, etc. Hence, in the south we have the best FB players. On the east coast we bread slaves to work the tobacco fields, h nice we needed long rangy slaves to pick the tobacco leaves. Hence, on the east coast we have the best basketball players...

You can’t win something you don’t participate in.

Nothing's stopping them from competing.

True. Blacks tend to prefer sports with lots of running and jumping. I think it’s more accurate to say that they are physically superior at such sports instead of all sports, since whites are much better at swimming and hockey, for example, or competitive weight lifting.

For it's population, La. has a very high number of talented black HS players. But there is a downside. For those of you who remember LSU coach Mike Archer. When he was on his way out he complained "You can't make it by just signing the top 20 players in Louisiana. Because 5 of them will never see the field due to academic issues."
Special tutors and athletic learning centers have helped. But when you hear some players speak on camera you wonder how they passed Eng Lit 101.

This is gonna shock younger folks. But in the 1950s there were a LOT of black baseball players in the South. College ball wasn't a big thing. They signed contracts at 18 at started off in the minors.
Today, very few black HS kids play baseball and the black HSs in Shreveport don't have enough players to field a team.
