Both

Why would you make a thread that promotes racism?

ivyconniver · 08-20-2007, 11:51 PM

why would you double post everything both here and at the RX? Some questions just have no good answers

imgv94 · 08-20-2007, 11:52 PM

I didn't say it's racist I said it promotes racism. I bet there will be racist-type comments in this thread. I'm sorry, I just hate it.

I can't dance or jump but I sure can drink with the best of them. Not sure that answers the question, but hey....

I voted both are true... This DOES NOT apply to everyone but generally I think it's true... If you look around the NFL they must think so too because RB's are GENERALLY black and QB's are GENERALLY white... I coached and I can tell you that I prefered a white guy at QB and kicker but I didn't like a white guy in the back field or at reciever.. Maybe one white guy at reciever but no more... NOW KEEP IN MIND I have broken that rule a few times but generally I agree with it...

Where did DE come from? The top two DE's in sacks last year were white guys, sure black guys are better in general but that is not one of the most dominated positions really

This would indicate, then, that the position of DE probably involves more cerebral ability, more thinking and strategizing, more intellectual agility, than people associate with it.

I am not terribly familiar with the minutiae of football, but I would say that probably whites would be better at positions involving leadership, problem-solving, planning, and abstract thought, while blacks would be better at positions involving raw physical ability. Also, blacks are lazier, so any position where practice confers a particular advantage, you would expect to see more whites, while any position where raw, natural, animalistic ability trumps technique, you would expect to see more blacks.

One sidebar to this though, is blacks with British accents, who are better suited to thinking positions such as QB and DE than blacks with rap accents.

Excellent post, HG.

Seriously. Very well played.

Img.. rainbow is offended by the post hahah well look at his name "rainbow" ha fruitcake!

The Whites make great RBs and DEs as long as the primary goal of the team they play for is the colonization and ultimate destruction of ancient civilizations.

The Blacks can never be good QBs because they have to devote too much time to keeping their hoes in check. A famous black once said something to the effect of, "pimping isn't easy". Any Black that isn't a hoerunner is likely focusing his energies on dog contests and everybody knows that dogs aren't a part of the NFL.

Unfortunately most of the people in the NFL like to waste their time by evaluating talent at the individual level. It's really quite silly. Meanwhile, we in the general population are much more savvy because we are able to pigeonhole people in all aspects of life simply by evaluating their race. It's really a great methodology and I would suggest that we should conduct polls of this nature for any calling where race would obviously be influential. Of course, only the big superior minds of the Whites should be allowed to respond.

blacks are quicker, stronger and more athletic than whites

I would say thats true to some extent. Consider this though. White kids generally have more career opportunities and better schools. Life goes on even if you don't play a pro sport.

The attitude in the ghetto is that if I don't become a pro in some sport, I'm not going to make it. I won't get my bling. So, they play certain sports more often. Doesn't cost much money to play basketball on the playground while your supposed to be in school.

When it comes to education, we have them licked. They put out mastery test scores by town once a year in my local paper. Kids from cities like Hartford, Bridgeport had reading and math scores in the 20's and 30's......while kids from towns like Glastonbury, Avon had scores in the 80's and 90's.
