carlosdesilva Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 14 out 15 of the last 100 metre finalists have been decedents of slaves! What does that mean?i thought shackles would have hindered them?Just seen this on bbc,not sure what it is trying to get across other than black africans are fast runners?

Breastman Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Darwinian evolution i'm guessing - those that were strong enough to survive slavery got to breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 You would learn to run if the great white hunter chased you with a .458 Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 It means absolutely nothing - just an attempt to stereotype. Most World Heavyweight Boxing Champions have been black Americans, but now they can't produce one. So what does that prove - nothing.

four-wheel-drive Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I would think that had nothing to do with it what was it they said about the African worrier's he could run a hundred miles and then be able to fight a battle that I think all comes down to breeding there way of life tended to involve walking/running. whilst we tended to work hard but not moving about so much so we had time to invent things cars trains plains ect etc they was out running all over the place killing each I cannot think of a better reason to be able to run fast than have someone chasing after you with a pointed stick trying to kill you.
