This doesn't sit right with me. Everyone needs to compete for their own country.

"USA" does not equal native-born white boys only.
Which is why I couldnt follow the men's side. The women's side was much better...

I am in no way an SJW, but the level of racism on LR is alarming sometimes
Is it because they're more genetically gifted or because white boys are wussies who don't put in the necessary work to be the best?
Probably a little bit of both
At no point did I mention black or white. I am not racist in any form,I have nothing against any ethnicity. I fully support Africans or people of any country coming to the US for a better life and better circumstances. At no point did I mention US chanpionships had to be all white athletes. So everyone who has replied so far is false and jumping to assumptions as usual.
I do feel that to compete for a country, you should have been born in that country. It defeats the purpose of having inter-nationality competition when countries can cherry pick from other countries and athletes can find loopholes in the system in order to get money elsewhere.
I also do bot blame the athletes tor this. If I was in their shoes I would would do the same thing and make the money while I can. It's the fault of the federations for allowing it.
It's a US championship that should be for people born in the US, it doesn't matter if they are black, white, blue or green as long as they were born in this country.

Lazy troll.
The truth is rayyyyyyyycist to SJW commies.
As long as people fit certain criteria and become citizens of a nation the way anyone else would have to, I have no issues with people changing nationalities.
That said, African dominance was the killer (a number of years ago now) of an already niche sport. The fact that things like the US national champs are now dominated by African born athletes is just the icing on the cake.
Spence, Sinclair, Curp, Williams et al. ran 43 or faster back in the day.

Actually yes it does. America founded by whites for whites. The USA was 91percent White just as recently as 1965, need to go back to that.
You are wrong. America has never been "91%" white.

So you think that the citizenship/residency requirements for competing in the rinky-dink U.S. 15k championships should be more stringent than, say, the requirements for becoming a U.S. senator? Alright. Just know that you're making common cause with the sh*t person below.

Hey man, they went through a tough immigration process and are American. The real jokes are the ones like Aregawi and Alexi Pappas who game the system and compete for a country they've never been to.

Bummer for me as I have 3 internationally adopted children. Was hoping one or two might have a passion for running like their Dad and compete in USATF events. Can I get my dues money refunded?
Obama or Trump? Easy choice
The African women are coming in to WCAP now. It won't be long before the African women are dominating like the African men are now.

The white boys have been intimidated into not competing, per schlomo's long range plan. However, the weapon of immigration is now working against the schlomoids which is why the voting patterns of those hated whites are slowly tipping to the right. It's history repeating itself and the arrogant schlomoids not only can't stop it, they can't even maneuver someone else into place to do the fighting for them when it all eventually comes down to that. The Chinese will laugh in their faces and tell them to get used to their new homes in Paraguay and Patagonia.
White people should stick to triathlon and crossfit and squash and fencing and shooting. They can do really well in those since there is something there for the rich, namby pambies and rednecks.
The problem is that we put so much emphasis on national champsionships and events where people represent a country.
Even the US Open in golf has foreigners win it. It would be a pretty unappealing event if it were only USA athletes competing.

True but the foreigners represent their own countries. There is no real national championship in golf, so they don't have a problem with switching allegiances.
