I have no idea what the hell POSE is, but nobody sprints with a heel strike.
Sprinting is done on the toes.

There is no definitive black culture or Hispanic culture.

All cultures are regionalized and subdivided. Black culture in Texas vs Alaska vs Rhode Island vs Uganda vs Jamaica vs Egypt vs Germany vs…anywhere else is different. You think that the culture of a Hispanic person who moved to the US last week is the same as a 3rd generation American?
Self segregation is just as stupid as forced segregation.

First of all I am white, and American.
For simplicity sake I’m going to call cultural differences “racism” here because racism is the term thrown around way to easily based on cultural differences. How can you have culture without difference. Even the definition of racism is trying to water down culture. I am NOT racist in my opinion but i am aware of cultural differences. I actually enjoy the differences in culture because i like to learn about them. Look into American linguistics.
rac·ism
â?? â??/Ë?reɪsɪzÉ?m/ Show Spelled[rey-siz-uhm] Show IPA
â??noun
1.
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
Second I went to a high school where whites were a minority. In my honest humble opinion you cant have a “racism” free culture with so many cultures integrated into one country. Look at history, its never worked. The only way to completely eradicate racism is to mix all races. There are always culture stereotypes. For example, when an American goes to a foreign country and asks a local a question, the scenario proceeds as so… “Excuse me, do you know where i can find a bathroom?” local answers, “Huh?” he does not understand the angry American (white, black, mexican, asian, all English speaking Americans). Instead of trying to find another form of communication, perhaps body language, the American instead speaks louder assuming he will be understood asking the same exact question, treating the local as if he were a child. Now hating americans cant be racist because we’re a culture melting pot.
There are also racial stereotypes, while stereotypes aren’t always true, some are. For example I’ve worked as a server for years. Eight times out of ten black people were terrible tippers and they were always displeased with something about their meal. I’ve even seen black servers avoid waiting on black tables. That being said whites are sometimes just as bad. White snobs are probably the worst type of people to wait on. There are countless others but I’m already writing a book here.
Moving on to slavery. I love how black people assume that White Americans were the root of slavery. Slavery traces all the way back to 1760 BC. That’s a LONG time ago. BEFORE American if some of you aren’t aware. We were militarily more sophisticated than the African culture and brought them here and it just happened to stay that way. Life happens. People have died unnecessarily for thousands and thousands of years. That’s part of evolution. It’s humanity’s form of natural selection in my opinion. Last but not least ill throw down this face i received from a wiki-slavery source.
“In response to pressure by Western Allies of World War II, Ethiopia officially abolished slavery and serfdom after regaining its independence in 1942. On 26 August 1942 Haile Selassie issued a proclamation outlawing slavery.”
You’re welcome. Western allies would include France, England, and America. Most likely American though. I believe Ethiopia was predominately “black” as well.
SO AMERICA, Get off the slave train. Bad stuff happened all over the world for thousands of years, yet you aren’t holding on to any of that! Seems a point from convenience if you ask me. Get over it… Open your closed mind… and appreciate the life you live here in America, even with all the corruption and crooked business, we still live like kings compared to some.
And yes, i finally stopped lurking do to this post full of ignorance and self righteousness… Congrats to that fast white man by the way… kudos…

You should’ve put ignorance and self righteousness in quotation marks, because I failed to see any. I just saw personal observations. Stereotypes DO exist for a reason…otherwise, they generally wouldn’t be perpetuated for any significant period of time. To pretend otherwise is sticking one’s head in the sand.
Maybe… but i still see some in this post.
It disturbs me this thread has reached 6 pages…

Further, Whites have not ran sub 10 for mostly physiological reasons. It is crazy that in ths day of genetic mapping and the relevance that genes have shown to play in everything : physical strength, fat loss, muscle gain, propensity toward disease (ex: blacks have much higher propensity for sickle cell and it has been proven that this is likely an adaptation that was passed down to avoid dying from malaria), etc etc etc. Whites as a whole (averaage, median, mean: use whatever statistical method suits you) have less quick twitch fiberst than blacks → hence less fast, in general.
We all came from Africa. Largely our genetic characteristics, appearance, skin color is the product that our ancestors survived in. Blacks have more pigment to reduce danger to hot sun, eskimos have higher body hair count, etc etc.
To discount genetics in sports in this current age is plain stupid. It can even come down to the genetics in a smaller sample → Jamaicas dominate sprinting, Kenyans and Ethiopenas dominate long distance. Yes we are all 99.9 percent genetically the same but at elite levels of any human endeavor that .1 pecent counts.
End Rant.

Who was discounting genetics?
Sounds like you just wanted to write an essay to sound smart and brag about all the books you read without substantively contributing to the discussion.
A critique of any post in particular would be most welcome.
Pale tears where dripping down my ivory face as I contemplated the consequences of the epic this white man -our white man- wrote with his lightly coloured feet so heroicly.
Will the race of races finally come to a good, fair conclusion?
I raised the traditional light bread of constipated pride atop the house and with a determined grin, I also raised my marble white fist * .
Finally we can run.

You heel strike when you sprint? I don’t even heel strike when I walk.
I don’t have time to read through 6 pages of race bantering, but…
Was I the only one who felt like they were watching Napoleon Dynamite sprint?
I tried to embed a funny video and it failed. Move along
And kudos to the guy who ran it. Nothing else to say in this trainwreck of a thread.

When did I ever say there’s any definitive culture for any ethnic group, do I need to discount all of the clubs so you wont feel the need to be defensive? I dislike the concept of a culture club in general, the word “culture” should be omitted from the name of the clubs. Most of the ethnic clubs are either to spend time with friends or eat food and watch TV anyway.
