When I was growing up in small town America we had one sport to play, baseball,until athletics started in school.
As I remember it, the blacks that were in our town played baseball with us and things were pretty equal among blacks and whites as far as athletic ability was concerned.
I think the changes in ability started when home video games became a staple in homes.
Seems to me that every white kid had an Atari and stayed inside in the AC while the black kids were out on the playgrounds playing ball. Not to say that this is true everywhere. But many places it is.
Parents encourage kids less to get out and play until dark as I did. I stayed out from daylight until dark and didnt want to come inside for anything.
Its my belief that parents are to blame for this problem. Encourage your children to play outside. Put them in a b ball goal. Trampolines are good also.
I think our white children are in general a bunch of pussies.
My thoughts anyway.
