You mentioned before that there were some test done that showed that blacks tended to do better than other races in certain physical activities. Were these test done on blacks in general or only African Americans. I was just wondering if it was a black thing or if Jimmy the Greek was right about the effects of slavery on the gene pool.

Research involved Western african blacks (primarily Zulu tribes), eastern african blacks (primarily Kenyan), and african-american blacks. There are significant physiological differences between western and eastern african blacks, all research seems to have established. Also, keep in mind the majority of african-americans are of western african decent, since this is where most slaves originated. Eastern african migration into the US remained highly limited until relatively more recent years. Also, many anthropologists estimate the majority of african americans are between %10-16 caucasian genetically, stemming from genetic mixing dating back to days of slavery...(hence the lighter complexions than their african counterparts)

Primary differences found between western & eastern blacks were:

Western african blacks typically possesed:

-Proportionately more muscle mass
-Much higher composition of IIa, IIb, & IIx type fast twitch fibers
-Higher occurence of proteins(incl. enzymes) & protein structures in muscle cells conferring to non-oxidative metabolism
-Higher levels of energy substrates conferring to non-oxidative metabolism

(Dudes you could bet have some west african influince: Roy Jones, Ben Johnson etc. -most african americans)

Eastern african blacks typically possesed:
-Significantly less proportionate muscle mass
-Significantly higher slow twitch fiber composition
-Increased lung capacity, larger chest cavities
-Cell proteins(incl. enzymes) & proteinacious structures conferring to oxidative metabolism

(Dudes you could bet have eastern african decent: Those black marathon champs....)

So I guess if you cross a western black with an eastern black and then throw in a Jew, you have.......a milado basketball star with a big nose, small pecker, incredible endurance, and an undeniable urge to do the teams tax returns?


Blacks and Jews UNITE! Together, we shall rule the world!!!!

hahahahhahahahahhahahhaha!!!!!!!!


Wait a minute....us Jews already rule the world.
