It’s accurate. I can count the people I’ve met that were actually black on one hand.

I just told my kids the truth: Jim Haslett didn't like hwite people.

When I was a kid watching football games with snow (pre-global warming days), my dad always told me that the team with the most white guys would win because black people hate the cold. I still follow that logic today while betting.

Tell em the best athletes play regardless of race and that some sports the athletes are disproportionate to other sports.
African Americans
Football
Basketball
Olympics (summer)
Caucasians
Baseball
Hockey
Golf
nascar
horse racing
Mixture of both (close to 50/50)
Olympics (winter)
Soccer
I guess other sports might be different but I only listed the big ones on tv

You can also point out that "brown" families tend to place a lot more emphasis on sports like football and basketball, while white families focus more on baseball and hockey, which is why those sports feature more white players.
If this is true, it's because whites know they are less likely to be beat out by the raw athleticism of blacks in a sport like baseball.

Give them the "Jimmy The Greek Snyder" theory.

As reprehensible as this sounds, it is accurate.

Only thing I’ve learned from this thread is that any answer to the OP’s question will be labeled racist by somebody.

You ever see a fraternity of theirs do those step dances???? White people just don't move like that. At cornerback and shooting guard, they turn their hips faster and lose less speed doing so. And at a high school game, notice the dance teams if it's a school like Karr or Easton. You can notice a difference there too.
To add. There are lots of kids both white and black who put in the work in high school football at CB, RB, WR, etc., but there are only so many spots in college football and then after that only so many spots in the pros. A lot of fans want whoever played the best in high school to be recruited, or the best college player to be drafted, but it's about the athletic ceiling..

Those guys are what you call exceptions.

A lot of Indians, Mestizos, etc. are adopting this of their own volition. I hate it. There's no such thing, at least not in the sense that these people all have some sort of common cause or identity. To believe that is (at best) philosophical masturbation divorced from any real-world experience.

I usually have the habit of totally being honest with children. It works out much better that way.
