Why are certain positions in the nfl predominantly one race of people or another?

So on the lines you have a mix of African Americans and whites but at others like running back and corner you have predominantly black players whereas tight end and qb you see mostly white players. Why is this? Are black people better at covering or are white guys better at blocking what gives?

Black people of the same body type are typically faster than white people of the same body type. I don’t know...

The nfl would be a lot better if the Rooney Rule applied to cornerbacks

There are racial differences in muscle fiber twitching.

Africans twitch faster but weaker, and relax faster. Whites can apply more power slowly. There's a reason blacks generally can infact dance better.

Worth mentioning the differences aren't huge but they're there.

I won't get into the cerebral part of positions

translation - why are the only white guys in the NFL QBs TE or kickers

because there are differences between races no matter how much SJW want to deny it, the NFL is the perfect proving ground to showcase that

The ones that are more athletic are usually less cerebral.

you will get shite on blaming you for being racist with that statement but its very true and skin color doesnt matter.

in football its more about physical then mental until you reach certain skill positions where you have to play smarter and less about brute strength and aggression

well that’s not really true linebackers And plenty of lineman are white. But it’s just that corners and running backs are almost all black and tight ends and qb and kickers almost all white everything else is a mix except maybe receiver but there’s plenty of white receivers too

Anything physical where certain qualifications are concentrated in one group is obvious and A-OK.

Anything intellectual is...well you cannot talk about it because it is racist. Everybody is exactly equally able in everything!

There hasn’t been a sustained starting white corner in 20 years. There have been some dudes filling in like Edelman, but starters just don’t exist. It’s a stereotype...white dudes never get the chance at corner from grade school up.

There hasn’t been a starter or back-up white corner as their normal position in probably 10 years in the League.

Correlation seems strong between positions that require a lot of athleticism and positions that don’t.
