This is just a stream of thoughts, mostly pointless, and I wanted to see what you guys think about it.
I have a medical background. I understand physiology and the make-up of the human body.
I think that America is a great country because we are all different. Thats right I said different.
But black people have become larger-than-life. They have done it because they were brought to this country and treated like sh*t. They had something to fight for, and being the minority they have been willing to fight harder than anyone else to get it. The truth's of the American race are that we are not all the same.
Surprising fact about white people? We are not only the biggest race on the planet, but in America white male's are, on average, 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch taller than their black counterparts.
WHATS THAT YOU SAY? CAN"T BE! Oh, but it is.
Surprisingly enough too, blacks from the north have higher IQ's than whites from the south.
Point in context is that stereotypes aren't always true, but sometimes they are.
Are black people more athletic? I don't think so, because I don't agree with the broad definition. Are black guys faster? As a whole, there is not doubt about it. Are white guys usually smarter and stronger. Absolutely.
And there are very fast white guys, and very smart black guys.
But to pin a stereotype on everyone that walks through the door is just not fair.
And the fact is, its a combination of attributes that makes an athlete great, and no race has an overall advantage.
We are, I believe, at a turning point in this country where white people are now being discriminated against everyday, and its hard to think that we don't deserve it. But much like black folks, we are going to have to fight for what is right.
Are we willing. Are we oppressed and scrutinized enough that we want to make a stand. Somehow I doubt it, because the sad fact is, as a white guy in America, you've got it made for now.
But it won't always be that way. Someday, we will have our own NAACP. We will need our own Al Sharpton.
All because we aren't willing to fight before we get knocked down. Edited by: docpoco
