Forget tryin' to convince him otherwise, guys. DerOster is just a lonely ol' troll.
He doesn't want to hear why Afican_Americans posess some physical traits which are conducive to excelling in athletics. I already explained it to him from a medical standpoint, but I doubt he even took the time to look it up to see that I was right.
He just wants to stir the pot.
His ex gf prolly ran off with some black dude so he's got an axe to grind. LOL.

I agree that they have some levels of racial superiority over the other races. I never disagreed with that assessment.
I just find it funny people point out racial-wide advantages to certain races, but then claim no one is racist/prejudice in the NBA/NFL. They know what we all know and blacks are best athletes on average in NBA/NFL solely because of genetics and nothing more.
You aren't smart enough to participate in high level discussions, I'm gleeful that I was able to specifically troll you and get under your skin. I enjoy it, I honestly do.
I'd be perfectly honest, no ex-gf ran off to blacks as far as I know. No axe to grind, just point out what most people don't have the guts to do and thats no outrageous over reverse racism.
Do I have to keep mauling you on these forums or are you going to do p90x and build your claims to be a medical expert?

Why are you drawing a parallel between the word racist and prejudice in the first place? It's apples and oranges. There's prejudice in every facet of life. Not so with racism.

Absolutely. Now I'm not sure that I'd say "dirt poor," but he made it no secret that there wasn't much spare change lying around.
You bring up a good point. Are white professional athletes where they are because they had to play sports to get outta poverty? Why is that assumption never made?
Blacks are just good in sports. All these socio-economic assertions being made by CD posters is a load of bullocks. It ain't about poverty anymore for most. Usually its just for a free scholarship, and even most white families cant afford college.
I agree. Hell nobody can afford college. I told my kid, who's a sophomore on the football team, that he better get a scholarship be it grades or football if he wants to go to a four year school or it's off to community college for a couple years and then transfer. Lot of these folks watch too much TV showing the poor kid who made it out of the hood stuff. Like you say just as many white kids are poor and make it out on a scholarship too. What they do with that scholarship we never know unless they do become one of the one percent or so who make the money.
If the NBA can hire solely based on talent and skills without an affirmative action program, why can't business.
If athletes can be judged 100% on performance why can't us individuals when it comes to hiring ? Do we really need to bend the rules for slow or less talented people ?
Problem is, you know who the best qualified athletes are. They're all there for you to see - nothing hidden. Where are the best salespeople, office workers, lawyers, doctors, firemen, cops? You don't know......until you hire them. Since minorities are underrepresented, not hired for these jobs, you can't say that private business is hiring solely based on talent and skills.
they are very sexist as well. how many women in either the NFL or the NBA?
If there were women who could play football or basketball at the highest level, you can be damn sure that the owners would snatch them up quickly. Having someone like that on your team would be a license to print money.

Here is all I am extracting from your argument...
#1 - there is a monopoly on professional sports franchises (which there is). If there were as many football leagues as there were police departments, we wouldn't see the lack of parity anymore. And who is to say that there SHOULDN'T be smaller, local level professional leagues where athletes can make a living?
#2 - our values as a society have allowed the government we have to grant these quasi-monopolies to the NFL and it's likeness. It's not cool when a retail chain like Walmart does it to everybody... But the NFL? No problem..
And, last but not least (ad-nauseum)... Blacks as a population are underrepresented in America by nothing more than their population number.
