What evidence do you have to support this claim?

Wiki is not to be trusted, the militant Zionists there rewrite anything which does not fit into their Weltanschauung! Just go to a post about the Israel-Palestine conflict and try to make the article more balanced. The positive effects were only temporary, illusory, measurable only in childhood and youth, later when the African genes kicked in with the age of 16/17 there was no measurable difference anymore.

It's was part of the same twin and adoption studies, the results from the black children that were adopted into white middle class families of whom some already had white children.

That's bs, the tallest people in the world are found in Nordic countries like Germany and the Netherlands! I'm 1,86cm and I'm only average! People of African descent have a higher percentage of muscles in relation to body weight and fat, and west Africans have more aerobic muscles, those responsible for fast movements, than other races which allows them to move faster.

More muscles + higher speed = superiority in many sports



"AGOURA HILLS, CA — It’s Kenya’s national sport, the passion of the masses. Little boys dream that one day, they might soak up the cheers of the adoring fans that regularly crowd National Stadium in Nairobi. Coaches comb the countryside to find the next generation of potential stars. The most promising are sponsored at special schools. It’s not an exaggeration to call Kenya’s national sport a kind of national religion.

According to conventional wisdom, this is the sure cultural explanation for the phenomenal success of Kenyan distance runners. Kenya, with but 28 million people, holds more than one third of top times in distance races. Including top performances by other East Africans, that domination swells to 50 percent.

Only one problem: the national sport, the hero worship, the adoring fans, the social channeling -- that all speaks to Kenya’s enduring love affair with, not running, but soccer. Despite the enormous success of Kenyan runners, running remains a relative afterthought in this soccer-crazed nation. Unfortunately, Kenyans are among the world’s worst soccer players. Countries in West Africa, home of the last two Olympic gold medal winners, Cameroon and Nigeria, regularly trounce all East African countries, including Kenya. East Africans are also lousy sprinters, which depends on quickness. Indeed, the fastest Kenyan 100-meter time, 10.28, is a half second slower than the best times of West African descended athletes.

What’s going on here? Why is every running record, from the 100 to the 400 meters held by an athlete of West African ancestry, while North and East Africans dominate the longer distances?"

On the other hand Africans are no good when it comes to swimming because of their thick and heavy bones!

You are EXTREMELY naive. Anyone who does business with the federal government is endlessly pressured regarding minority quotas. Also, most large companies and corporations fall in line regarding minority quotas after they've seen, eg, Jesse Jackson's protection racket in action.

If the NBA wants to be racist, it can be. If you applied for a job with the NBA, and you where denied because you where too white, I'd suggest talking to a lawyer. What are you trying to prove? That the NBA is racist, and that they are legally bound to a affirmative action? Yeah it seems weird that most NBA players are black, and if it was the other way around they would probably be scrutinized. What does this prove to someone that doesn't agree with affirmative action in the first place?
I don't know why you're jabbering at me - the NBA isn't racist - it hires blacks because they are better at basketball.

I don't quite get your point. How is that racism? The only reason, there is an inferior number of Caucasian, Asians and Latinos in the NBA, is that they're simply not good enough to play there. Nobody is left out because of his color or origin. A high percentage of each group isn't necesarrily an indicator for racism.

In contrary the NBA shows how it should be done: People shouldn't be judged upon the color of their skin, but upon their qualification or skills. If the result is, that there are 90% blacks (Asians, Caucasians, Latinos) in the NBA, thats fine with me. A law that appoints fixed quotas for each ethnic group would simply lead to a loss of quality.

A racist General Manager in the NBA, that drafts and trades by his color-preference would always be underachieving, which in the end has consequences for him personally.
Same with business: If an racist employer declines a potential worker only because of his origin, his profits will most likely go down.
So the market takes care of racism itself, by punishing it. The need for AA is only in parts, where the market fails or is nonexistent, for example in education.

Essentially thats what I'm saying. That and the NBA is not legally bound keyword legally.

Are blacks and women doing better in academia? No they don't, that's why we have affirmative action to force universities to take in minorities and females even if they are not qualified enough! With the NBA it should be the same, no more hypocrisy, I don't care if Chinese or other midgets are qualified for the NBA, I want to see a fair share of them and no more blacks than what is their actual percentage in the population!
