NYT: “The Secret of Jamaica’s Runners: It’s About Culture, Not Genetics.”

Comments:

* Its amazing that the NYT is still pushing this BS. Yeah, its all about “Culture”. That’s why 1 Billion Chinese and 1 Billion Indians and 1 billion whites can’t find a sprinter that can outrun a West African black.

Next time you look at a running event in the Olympic finals from 1500m and under you’ll see that almost everyone looks the same – from the neck down.

If you don’t have that build or shape, you won’t win. Its 90% genetics and 10% training.

* Of course it’s always about covering up racial disparities. We cannot have whites noticing differences in the races.

Still many do notice it anyway, but are smart enough to keep their mouths shut in polite society about it. They know what can happen to them if they blurt it out in public.

It’s worse than outing yourself as a cannibal that ate homeless people as a hobby. Really, being a white racist seems to be the worst thing in the world according to the elites. Heck even being a member of ISIS is more acceptable.

So we’re forced to engage in some sort of pathetic kabuki dance explaining away why some people are better at certain activities than others while ignoring the elephant in the room.

Orwell would get a big kick out of it and then probably cry.

* Isn’t it funny that you could go to a local animal shelter and find a least a half-dozen dogs– who haven’t been training and who have been lying around all day– who could go out and blow by Usain Bolt in the 100 yard dash first time out. Maybe even after making a quick pit stop to do some grass sniffing. A little comparison: Usain Bolt has been clocked at top speed at 23 mph. A little border collie can top 30 mph.

* Right, the one drop rule of the British world means that blacks tend to be pretty black by ancestry, while the color continuum of the Spanish/Portuguese world means people are more mixed.

I looked at a lot of sprinters in the 1990s and they were very black (with the exception of Frankie Fredericks of Namibia, who looks a little like Alec Guinness). For example, Carl Lewis is pretty bourgeois in affect, but he is very black.

* How about Mexicans who have won a grand total of zero medals of any kind in Rio. Even Fiji has won more medals than Mexico and Fiji has a smaller population than the city of Austin. Mexico has the 11th largest population on the planet.

* Speaking of West African fast twitch muscle fibres. The West Indian cricket team from 1970 to 1994 produced more genuinely fast cricket bowlers than any other country. In the late 1980s they were able to field 3-4 guys who could bowl over 90 miles an hour, an unprecedented feat in cricket history. In contrast India, with a population of over a billion arguably hasn’t produced a single genuinely fast bowler.

However, things went downhill for the West Indians in the late 1990s as talented West Indians were drawn to other sports like basketball and running.
