RE: Author Jon Entine: "Athletes of African ancestry hold every major running record, from the 100m to the marathon"

What about Johnny Gray 600m?

Keep in mind that privately Jon Entine doesn't consider himself white - well known by those who worked with him at NBC. He and his ilk have a distaste for whites lol. But you PC addled folks are too stupid to see it.

So you're hinting he is a Jew. What Jew would go to a university that has Christian religious base? Granted the school probably just has a divinity college and the rest of the school would be secular, but any practicing Jew wouldn't go to that school.

That doesn't explain their dominance unless you actually prove they have a more efficient structure for running.

It seems that you can't comprehend the fact that Paula Radcliffe is a woman.

According to Entine,

"Whites of Eurasian ancestry are mesomorphic: larger and relatively muscular bodies with comparatively short limbs and thick torsos. No prototypical sprinter or marathoner here. These proportions are advantageous in sports in which strength rather than speed is at a premium. Predictably, Eurasians dominate weightlifting, wrestling, and most field events, such as the shot put and hammer."

I think Blacks have a more efficient structure for running which explains there dominance.

Agree or disagree?

Agree very much with Entine, and especially the statement that the best athletes don't necessarily have the best quality of training. By far the biggest determinant of athletic ability is genetics, not training or environment, and the dominance of certain racial groups in certain athletic events is undeniably the result of genetic differences at the group level. While race means nothing at the individual level, certain physical attributes are more common in some gene pools than others, and when those attributes lend themselves to performance in a particular athletic event, members of that group will be disproportionately successful. While outliers from other races will occasionally break into the ranks of the top (e.g. Lemaitre, Rupp), the TREND of African dominance in most events is a fact that never changes because it is rooted in genetics. It's sad that modern white leftist society is so indifferent to reality that anyone still questions something so obvious.

I seem to recall that in Entine's book he claimed that a non-African (that is, someone of African ancestry) would never run sub-10 in the 100 and that soon there would be no non-Africans in the NBA.

He said neither of those things. You're simply an idiot.

And athletes of African ancestry have been busted for PEDs more than athletes of any other ancestry...

He is also a public speaker on genetics and identity for the Jewish National Fund and the Jewish Federations of North America.

I know he is talking about men but why do women have way more diversity when it comes to world records in athlectics and best of all time lists and even now a women of non-Western African descent has a world leading in the 100 meters.

Leftist? I thought it was conservatives who believe hard work trumps everything.

IF this is true, it would make some sense since white athletes produce such weak performances that nobody really cares what they have done and so they don't get tested nearly as much. People only care when you are winning - like athletes of African ancestry.

Non-Africans are the BEST dopers. And by best I mean they give their athletes the craziest juice and are able to not get busted.

China

Germany

Russia

If you gave Genzebe Dibaba whatever Junxia Wang was on in the early 2000s, she'd run 13:45.

My estimate is 41% of recent African origin.

Positive tests

Former Eastern Bloc 77

Western Europe 67 (est. 30 of African descent)

Africa 62 (including Africans running for ME countries)

North America/Caribbean 58 (est. 40 of African descent)

Rest of the World 54

Includes track, road, xc

Excludes field events and walking

In an example of genetic differentiation known to be specific to sprinting ability the rs1815739 mutation of the ACTN3 gene is less prevalent in African populations than in European and especially in Asian populations. This mutation suppresses the development of fast twitch muscle fiber.

Is there proof that mutation suppresses ft fiber?

Had to get the book again from the library.

On page 20, he says the NBA will become "a near total washout of nonblacks in the coming years."

One caption of a picture on the first plate: "It's reached the point where most of the world's best non-Kenyan men have all but given up contesting the middle distances in elite races."

On page 318, discussing the genetic differences between men and women dictating (his word) the difference in athletic performance: "The disparity between blacks and whites in sports is at least as pronounced."

By and large, the book is very thought provoking, but he throws out statements like those above to conclude sections that seem to go beyond the evidence he just presented.

Oh, and he uses Marion Jones as the conclusive proof that "black female sprinters are a cut above" and a counterpoint to Eastern Bloc doping.

Obviously the clean Jones was proof of athletic superiority not lab superiority.
