* Edwin Moses was a physics and engineering major at Morehouse. Morehouse had a track team but no track. Moses had to use the track at public high schools and pretty much coached himself. He ran the 120-yard and 440-yard hurdles, switching to just the 400m hurdles a few months before the 1976 Olympic trials. The Montreal Olympics was his first international event, where he won gold and set a world record.
After graduation he worked for General Dynamics. Soon after Moses was instrumental in changing eligibility rules, allowing athletes to receive funding.
Moses’ son (white mother) plays Division II college volleyball at Lewis University and is a physics major. Moses’ father played football at Kentucky State, taught math and science and was an elementary school principal. His mother was supervisor of instruction for the Dayton, OH public school system.
* Edwin Moses was also touted as an example of the benefits of Alexander Technique training by teachers of the Alexander Technique.
* “Individual athletes with perception and insight, like the great Ed Moses or Joan Benoit, who have added the Alexander Technique to their training routines are rewarded with a sense of mastery over their own bodies, and faster more flowing action.” (Petersen, Vicki, The Strategies of the Champions, Pan Books, Sydney:1988)
* Edwin Moses was also an example of who or what we thought we were agreeing to when we decided to lower the barriers that kept the black race from advancing in our Great Society.
We were victims of the old bait and switch.
* The biggest factor hindering the running speed in women is the width of their child bearing hips. So the best female runners will come from the populations with the narrowest hipped women presumably from populations that give birth to the smallest headed babies.
* White men, David Bowie and Robert De Niro to the contrary, don’t seem to find Black women even the Beyonce types that attractive. What seems to sell is the pretty, paler, more White or Asian women: hurdler Michelle Jeneke, the pole vaulters (all women’s pole vault medalists were very pretty and very White), women’s beach bikini volleyball.
Its interesting to see how that sorts out — tall athletic (often lesbian) Black women go into Basketball, and those straight, relatively pretty, and tall and athletic go into beach bikini volleyball; where careers seem longer and money/endorsements more lucrative.
For some bizarre reason sponsors when they come down to it, are not all that eager to to associate female-oriented consumer products with taciturn Black lesbians. Can’t figure why!
* The exception are Muslims who are so toxic that they still commit terrorist attacks even when they make up less than 1 percent of the host nation that they have immigrated to like The U.S.
With all of the Jihad that they have committed on our soil, you would think Muslims made up way more than 0.9 percent of The U.S population.
For such a small demographic, Muslims with U.S citizenship punch way above their weight when it comes to homegrown terrorism.
Homegrown terrorism is to Muslims in The U.S like what law enforcement is to Irish & Italian Americans and Silicon Valley is to Chinese, Indian, and Jewish Americans.
* Korean face: Flatter, rounder, more porcelain, with a narrower mouth. There is a self-composed delicacy about it. It reminds you of an owl or a dove.
Japanese face: Fleshier, cuter, somewhat suggestive of fatigue. There is a melancholic inwardness within the gaze of the moist eye.
Chinese face: Fiercer, angular, more simian. The broad lips and flared nostrils suggest a whetted appetite. A purposeful, practical, hungry face.
