i think it's down to person not ethnicity, my white friend eats a lot of meats and drink alcohol on a daily basis and he hardly exercise yet he still does not gain weight, he's thin. i also think high metabolism has also to do with diets, such as drinking water on most times you feel like u have a dry tummy or throat, which some people mistaken it for hunger, and they would eat alot of fatty snacks and exercise and still the results aren't that impressive.

I definately agree on individuality and not on racial makeup. My dad and his side of his family are quasi short and thick boned and naturally big and strong and my mom and her side of the family are tall and thin and better suited for endurance than strength which is me as if i didn't workout and lift weights over the last 20 years i'd be 6ft3 and 170 lbs and skinny.

And, I think darker skin simply shows any "muscle toning" better than pale skin--that's why body builders tan!

skin color does help show muscle but I am talking as far as being lean, ripped and athletic African American men have an advantage. We are talking average white male vs average black male not about ppl who have above average genetics. From an athletic standpoint do you think its any coincidence African Americans make up a majority of athletes? Why is it you never see a white running back in the NFL able to make those fast cuts? Why have the boxers with the best and fastest reflexes been African American? Science has proven African Americans have better genes for this soirt of thing but its not politically correct to say it so no one talks about it.

As far as strength goes Eastern Europeans and Samoans rule in that department.

I thought europeans were designed for endurance and not strength. Because I am supposed to be a runner.

Unless you eat only what you grow and raise the colon is NOT self cleaning.

It may have been before Monsanto came into the picture.

Most people don't eat enough roughage anyway.
