At the pub so can't read this whole thread debating how good his time is. Here's a question. Have you seen his starts? They are absolutely terrible. What does that mean in terms of his current 100/200 times right now if he had good starts out of the blocks.... same speed.
If you ever went to an AAU track meet, you'd know why African Americans dominate the sprints. They are by far the vast majority of participants from an early age. They dominate in football and basketball for the same reason (less so in football). Go by youth football practice or games in the South in the Spring and Fall. You'll see mass participation and serious coaching from age 5. Dominicans dominate in baseball. Why? Mass, serious participation from an early age. There are kids dropping out of school after sixth grade to play baseball all the time, one of them, five years later, is now the best prospect in baseball.
Where is Boling? No NB or Adidas or Brooks?
He ran the Great Southwest meet the week before NBON. Won the 100m.
He's entered in the 100 200m and long jump at USATF juniors.

When was the last time a white sprinter broke.....9.90? Try, never.
When was the last time a white sprinter broke 19.70? Try, never.
When only about 7% (black males 18-30) are that totally dominate in some athletic whatever what does that tell us?
There have been TONS of black sub10.00 sprinters, how many non black?
There have been TONS of black 1000 rushers in the NFL, how many non blacks?
Just open your eyes and there it is staring right at you.
You're right in that there are genetic differences in those from different parts of the world.
But, you're still jumping to conclusions. Most whites focus on school not sports. While their black friends are out playing sports all day every day the white kids are forced inside to do their homework. That's a critical part of this analysis. Also, white kids don't have as much pressure. For many black kids in the ghetto the ONLY way out of the ghetto is sports. White kids don't have this problem. They can fail or succeed at sports, it won't matter much. If the black kid fails at sports, he will be stuck in the ghetto his whole life. There is no room for failure. They will work as hard as it takes to get out. That could mean shooting the basketball 10,000 times a day, running sprints for 6 hours a day, or playing football for 8 hours a day. Whatever it takes to get out of the ghetto and move your family out of the ghetto. This is also critical to consider before jumping to conclusions.
First off, racist much? A lot of our elite black sprinters (Norman, Coleman, etc) actually come from well-off families.
There are plenty of fast honkies. They just don’t go out for track very often. Or they are told by coaches, “All you crackers run middle distance.”
Not sure where you live bro, but plenty of white guys still sprint and play football. Richard Sherman ran 14.13 in 110 HH back in high school. He finished top 5 in CIF. He’s not a blazer but def fast and athletic enough to be an All Pro corner. Jason Sehorn was the last elite white corner NFL corner and that was nearly 20 years ago.
What a lot of people who never played football fail to understand is it’s much more than pure speed and jumping. Most of the top combine performers haven’t become stars. If it was just about speed, NFL scouts would simply go to the NCAA and USATF Champs to recruit.
Boling is an incredible talent and his skin color brings even more attention. It will be interesting to see if he can run under 9.9 to make a US team.

That same stereotype would be applied to African-Americans yet you still see them dominating the distance scene (Edward Cheserek, Sharif Karie, Michael Granville, etc)

Everyone hyped up Boling's 44.7 as if it was a once in a decade performance.
The truth is, it wasn't.
In 2017 NBNO, the anchor for the second place 4x400 team anchored 44.58!
In 2017 Pan Am Juniors, Sean Hooper ran a 44.6 split.
Justin Robinson ran 44.8 on the open so I'm assuming he can run 44.6 ish for a split.
Jamal Walton split 44.5 @Pan Am Juniors
In conclusion, although 44.7 is a very fast split time, it isn't as "godly" as people make it out to be, as 4 other people have ran as fast/faster in just the past 2 years.
There have probably been wayyy more people in all-time US history who have ran faster, but to be honest, I can't be bothered to do that much research.
*This isn't to demean the accomplishments of Boling. 9.98 in HS, wind-aided or not is crazy. I'm fully confident that he will one day win NCAA's and he'll run 9.7 low and win the Olympics. Just this one performance (I felt) was a bit more hyped up than need be.
The only reason you are trying to tear him down is because he is white

Bottom line is yes we do see OBVIOUS differences when dealing with race and sports.
Both you and Thrower are ignorant in regard to one race is superior and another race is inferior. You two offer no science to back up your personal feelings. You both offer slight anecdotal evidence. Whatley: You offer a select few examples, then you state blacks are superior. Thrower offered her/his select few examples, then he/she stated whites are superior.
LOL....only a few examples? Have you watched any NFL, NBA or Olympic sprint? There is not "slight" evidence. For people to not understand that the culmination of select breeding for 300 years of West African genetics didnt create a race of people that are genetically different is ignorant.
Good for them, I am compeltely jealous. I am a slow white guy that needs to run the marathon.
