Is it racist to say that blacks are more athletic than whites? I'm white. In the Olympics, most of the fastest runners are black, our African American gymnast Simone had more complicated routines with amazing skills, and NBA teams are mostly black.
Yes. It’s 100% racist and if you think you are racist. You probably are.It comes down to the fact that white people and many non black people can’t understand and can’t take the fact that black people are the best in ANYTHING.That’s what it really comes down to.So there must be some biological or genetic reason for thisIgnoring the fact most sports are dominated by whites and non-black people.When you watch the Olympics and you’ll see that black people or black nations do not dominate most of the sports on show EG - Archery. Badminton, Handball, Rowing, BMX, Swimming, Water Polo, Cycling. Wrestling, even brute strength events like Weightlifting you still wont see many black faces.Because the theory goes that we black people have all this super human negro strength. Right ?But does anyone claim whites are just natural swimmers ?It’s the reason why you’ll find African Americans in the NBA but you won’t find many West Africans, who are certainly “blacker” and according to your racist theory, athleticism and blackness somehow run together, right ? Well in that case you would expect West Africans to dominate the NBA and African teams to dominate international basketball competitionsThey Don’tBecause these things are not concordant on the basis of race. They do not cluster on the basis of so-called racial categories, because these categories are highly artificial.Not to forget that the original story was that white people were superior in body AND brains.In the 1936 Olympics Adolf Hitlerwas confident that his Aryan athletes would dominate the Black American sprinters. But Jesse Owens and other black athletes made sure it did not quite work out that way.So the white Supremacists pretended that they had never believed that White people were physically superior to Black people and that their ideas had not been embarrassingly refuted.They just figured that brains were more important, so if Black people were to be sold to the world as inferior, it would have to be based on them being genetically stupid.It’s for this reason why professional sports franchises so quick to exploit the talents of black athletes, but so reluctant to hire the same people to coach or manage the teams.Not to mention, sports, important and culturally influential though they may be, are hardly like the industries in which most people find themselves.
Why do Americans own multiple handguns? After all, you can only use one at a time.
“Why do Americans own multiple handguns? After all, you can only use one at a time.”I am assuming you have pretty much no contact with tools, and you probably don’t even cook on your own. If you did you would know that having multiple of similar tools is very useful, despite the fact that you cannot use them all at the same time. You also obviously have no contact with firearms, else you would know that not all guns are the same, even if they look the same to the uneducated.People who use tools typically know that you have specific tools to do specific jobs. I have more than one drill, because while each superficially look the same, they have different characteristics, which make them better suited to particular tasks. Sure, I could press one into service doing the jobs of all the others, but why would I want to? I much prefer having a tool dedicated to a specific task, both so I can match the performance of the tool to that task, and so I don’t have to spend a lot of time re-configuring tools to do the tasks I want when I want to do them.So I have a few firearms as well. Some are quite similar, like my pistol collection. Some are for carry (I have different guns for both open and concealed carry, because those are different applications), some are for target shooting (again, different guns for different kinds of target shooting), and some are just collectors pieces (can’t really put a limit on collectors pieces).I also like collecting other kinds of old tools, are you going to question why I have multiple wood planes as well? Maybe my sword collection offends you, and you want to know why I have multiple long sharp pointy bit of metal?This question is not just naive, it is actually pretty dumb if you spend more than three seconds thinking about it. I could have understood if the question was along the lines of “what is the appeal of collecting firearms” or “how many applications can a single firearm do well”, but the question as written is just daft, and shows not only a severe lack of critical thinking as applied to the topic at hand, but also smells of the soft intolerant bigotry prevalent in western culture today. You know, the kind where it is ok to deride and marginalize people who you perceive as less intelligent than you, even if you know nothing of the topic in discussion.
