Re: Blacks bred for muscle

I'm not trying to be rude, but there's a whole group of people who thing we evolved from monkeys without any proof, so I don't put much weight in people's theories. Especially when you can look at most Africans and see how skinny they are. They are not the staple of muscle mass. If any origin was bred for mass it is the Scandinavians. That group of people are big and strong across the board.

Re: Blacks bred for muscle

I think the blacks in Africa just appear to be more muscular due to the low body fat % many of them have, and I think T-Man brings up a good point on skin contrast.

Actually, there ALOT of scientific evidence behind evolution.

Re: Blacks bred for muscle

hmmm...it's very debatable depending on how you interept the data. I've seen plenty of skinny Africans (international students at my university) that have well defined muscles. Yes they are tall and skinny and don't have much mass but their muscles do have striations and are well developed even if they only weigh 120lbs. Most of them just play soccer and don't lift weights. They are basically ripped and if you take a body composition of them versus a skinny white guy, then I'm sure the African guy's body composition will show more muscle for his bodyweight compared to the white guy. There are also international students from various Caribbean countries and they have the same body types as the Africans.

Anyways regarding the slave breeding, yes it was done. I think it was mostly in the US. I've noticed that black descendants of slaves from the European slave colonies are not near the size of U.S. black slave descendants.

Regardless of the race America is full of obese people period!!!

Re: Blacks bred for muscle

Not that i buy into the whole africans are bigger and stronger because of the fact that they where slaves for so long. I mean if you go into that shouldn't the jews be huge as well? I mean last i recall and its been awhile they were slaves for a long period on their history so why aren't they running through holes on the O-Line. Just thought i would throw that in.

Re: Blacks bred for muscle

we're conducting a study in my lab as we speak on this topic. Ill see if i can find documentation online..

I didn't read the studies you posted, but how are they doing the comparison? Are they picking whites, blacks, Asians, hispanics, others and comparing body compositions based on height, weight ad fitness activity? I don't see how a true accurate test can be conducted because there are so many variables involved.

Re: Blacks bred for muscle

Actually, that's not true. The breeding of the sronger blacks was done, but as far as blacks having more muscle mass, is not. Look at Africans, skinny as hell! Look at Jamaicans, skinny as hell. Humans are humans. As a matter of fact, the most obese group of people are black women, so that does not sound like the result of more muscle mass. The only reason blacks 'appear' to have more muscle is the darer skin creates more contrast. Go to a bb show and look at the dude who is pasty white and he looks flat as hell, but tan him up and he will look more detailed, make his skin black, and he will look very detailed. It's all contrast between the colors and lights. The fact is, blacks originated in Africa and Africans are some of the skinnest people on the planet. That's why they make such great distance runners.

I see what you are saying here but how do you account for this?

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

Black or African American persons, percent, 2000 (a)12.3%

http://www.thesportjournal.org/2001Journal/Vol4-No4/minority-hiring-practices.asp

75% of the NBA rosters are African American
63% of the NFL's rosters are African American


Now how can you say that they don't have superior genetics? I mean blacks make up just a tad over 1/10 of the population but they are 3/4 in the NBA and 3/5 in the NFL. Kinda uneven don't ya think? I am not racist at all, just facts are facts. Blacks are built better for speed and strenght. Look at all pro sports.........dominated by blacks!

Good point! I never thought of that!
