If you cannot tell the difference between derinding someone’s intelligence as opposed to their athletic ability, I don’t know what to tell you.

Yep. Most black guys are slow as hell. So are most white guys. Most people are slow weak and unathletic so it shouldn’t come as a surprise. I’m even talking about high school and college athletes (non D1). People forget how elite you need to be to even be at the combine.

I'm surprised a white kid can do that too? Is there anyone who is not?

Yeah you can count on one hand - white DBs/Safeties the last 30 years.

FWIW, Jason Sehorn was 215lb and ran a 4.3 (40) - which is why he's sort of the last white guy at DB that everyone oooh'd and ahhh'd about.

When Sehorn played, he was the only white starting DB in the game.

We all can tell the difference. That’s not the point.
It’s more impolite to call someone dumb than to call them unathletic.

Does that mean that we should collectively pretend that intelligence is not affected by genetics and that there aren’t differences between races?

Does it mean we should go so far as to demonize a race because another race can’t thrive in competitive environments with them?

I think you’re confusing “intelligence” with education. Some cultures like Asian and some whites have put more value on education than other cultures, but it is not based on genetics. It is based on culture and the opportunity provided. Listen, I don’t want to get into a history lesson here, I know that’s not popular. Most whites who post here believe the US began when they were born.

Deion was showing his age more than his racism. Should Deion be fired? If whites felt so offended and they asked for him to be fired, I will not have a problem with it. It was stupid and he and the people who he works for should know better.

Whites are conditioned that it's racist to point out racism against whites.

Lots of evidence for that assumption. And it's not just anectdotal.

The last white guy to win the the 100M at the Olympics was in 1980 and that's because the US boycotted the Moscow games.

From 1984 to 2016 all the men's Olympic 100 m finalists have been of African heritage.


I mean you’re right. There are racial differences among races. But when it’s only ok to come out and say only good stuff about certain race and bad stuff about another race is BS.

Either make it all fair game or none of it. Because if you say “it’s ok to say this about this group, not ok to say this. Then for this other group here are the rules”. It’s confusing as shite and not an efficient way to communicate.

African Americans think that racism is like cholesterol: there's some good racism, and then there's some bad racism. The good racism is when its blacks against whites. Racism is still racism.....

Another thread full of insensitive posts targeting minorities... due to insecurities felt from another perceived insensitive statement.

It's like you old hate-filled rednecks are too stupid and ignorant to see your own hypocrisy.
