I'm with you "ViCiouS" . Too many people, some of them well–intentioned, have over the decades attempted to downplay the premeditated systematic hundreds of years of barbarism that was African chattel slavery in the 'Americas' — in the U.S., the Caribbean, and South America.
Those of us who are descendants of Africans who endured this "Whipping Machine"
We are THE SURVIVORS
Scientist now know that the torturous barbarism, horror and trauma that our ancestors endured for hundreds of years has been transmitted genetically to us "The Survivors" ; It's called epigenetics. You can read all about it, use the links below
Epigenetics Explained
Epigenetic Inheritance
The seven minute clip below from the Ken Burn’s “The Civil War” documentary masterpiece, contains more truth about the reality of Black American chattel slavery than the majority of American citizens know. Most Americans of all races, creeds, religions and cultural backgrounds NO NOTHING about the true horrors of the hundreds of years of enslavement of African's in AmeriKKKa. This is why the the reality based movie "12 YEARS A SLAVE" was a revelation to many ignorant Americans who used to talk about "Good" slave masters vs. "Evil" slave masters, as though there is any distinction. This mass ignorance, even among Black American citizens is not accidental; it is premeditated —coordinated by the U.S. educational system and the mass propaganda that informs American history. Reparations?? -most Americans don't even know what the word means. Most Americans don't even know why so-called American Indians are confined toreservationsconcentration camps, or why their percentage of the overall population is only 2.8%. Americans don't know that the dead president pictured on the $20 dollar bills in their pockets enabled and signed and enacted the "Indian Removal Act" which was no different than Hitler's "final solution" extermination policy against European Jews. 99% of Americans didn't get that course when they 'studied??' - his-story in school, at-any-level, elementary, high school or college. The television series “Roots” depiction of slavery was akin to taking a strong cup of black coffee and turning it into a latte macchiato.
Narrative from the video above starts @ 1:20-
"....A slave entered the world in a one room dirt floor shack, drafty in winter, reeking in summer. Slave cabins breed typhus, pneumonia, cholera, lockjaw, tuberculosis. A child who survived to be sent to the fields at 12 was likely to have rotten teeth, worms, dysentery, and malaria. Fewer than four slaves out of 100 lived to age sixty. Work began at sunrise and continued 14 hours, unless there was a full moon when the work continued longer...."
We as blacks hate to admit it because of the history of slavery but genetically we where given a boost. Slavery itself is inhumane and a stain on white people's souls but by being the biggest, smartest and strongest what remains is simply that. Biggest, strongest and smartest.
The United snakes of America has went out of its way to keep us from unifying with Africa. Because we have the"missing link" to destroying the system of racism white supremacy. We are the manifestation of what the Germans where trying to push. The master race via genetic manipulation. Unfortunately we are still fucked up mentally because of the systemic mind fuck. Once we get our minds right we will be the catalyst for African resurgence.
Real talkThis is on point.
I have a friend who was 6'6 and 320 when he was 22. Went to the NFL combine and ran a 4.5 40. Freak of nature. He currently have three kids. One is 5'11 and plays for the Steelers as a blocking fullback. 4 time All-Mac defensive tackle. His other son played at Michigan St. and is currently in the NFL also. Don't know the team at this time but he is 6'5 defensive lineman. The third son plays basketball at University of Pittsburgh. He is 7'0. They all were by different women.
I don't care what anyone states, someone 5'9 with no athletic ability is not producing those types of kids. The common denominator is the father and his genetics. It can be said they made it to that level because of hard work which is true. But there is one thing you can't teach is size and athleticism.
This is on point.

slave breeding may have happened but that whole connection to sports excellence is bullshit and an insult. Two healthy people getting together will produce a....healthy child thats about all.
If it were that simple then other civilizations long ago would have been doing it to raise super soldiers or brilliant scientists. Going back the egyptians, phoenicians hell the sumarians would have figured that shit out...they can create structures that would last centuries yet not come up with a way to breed a better human being?? Shit the nazis were actively trying to create a perfect race at no point did they say lets just breed big strapping Hans to big strapping Olga. So to say that some rednecks in south carolina were able to achieve thru basic animal husbandry what brilliant scientific people before and after them couldn't do is just ridiculous.
but lets reverse it..if forced slave breeding is responsible for elite black athletes today..
whats responsible for elite white athletes??
![]()
what forced manipulation process did Michael Phelps ancestors have to endure for him to win 7 gold medals??? AND this nigga's a pot head...
White athletic excellence = hard work and genetic luck of the draw
Black athletic excellence = slave breeding because
![]()
these assholes great grand parents made it happen.
this is what we're talking about??
actually white supremacists make the claim that because of breeding and genetics blacks have lower IQs than whites and asians...do you REALLY want to cosign that bullshit...thats the main problem with breeding..you can use it to justify positives and negatives depending on how you want to spin it.
Yea the myth of the superior black athlete based off of slave breeding is a myth. If it were true, Brasil should have the best athletes in every sport on the planet based purely on the fact of them having the most slaves during slavery. They definitely would have the best track stars if the breeding concept were true. Also, slavery in America ended in 1865. Blacks didn't really come to dominate sports nationwide really until the 80s and 90s. That's a 100 year plus span of no "slave breeding". How is it that in that period of time blacks still were able to prosper without the so called "slave breeding"?
I'll tell you how. THEY WORKED FOR IT. Fuck that horseshit reasoning that white people are the reason cats dominate in their craft. Brothers and Sisters worked their asses off to get to where they are.
1. Brazil was not run by the British or American systems - unlike say- JamaicaIf it were true, Brasil should have the best athletes in every sport on the planet based purely on the fact of them having the most slaves during slavery. They definitely would have the best track stars if the breeding concept were true.
You so gayAnyone who doesn't agree with this is an idiot. My Pops raises cattle. I've dabbled in it myself. When you buy a bull you look for one with certain traits. Long straight back with hips on him. Certain head shakes to help with birthing. Also want one with some height on him with big scrotal size to bread. Also it's traits you look for in the female cow. Heck registered cattle have epd data telling you all this. Idk why folks don't think slave masters wouldn't do this with slaves. Slaves were the same as cattle during those times. Heck slaves were worth more than cattle back then and now. In 2016 if you converted what it cost to buy a slave a person would be sound 20k while a cow costs less than a grand.
Blacks haven't been playing mainstream American sports in white leagues that long. Back when baseball had the Negro leagues who the duck do you think were the better ball players? Why do you think whites are holding on to baseball ? If we get back to playing it like we used to Blacks will dominate it too. No damn Babe Ruth wasn't the best home run hitter. Folks forget about Hank Aaron.
1. Brazil was not run by the British or American systems - unlike say- Jamaica
2. talent without work gets nowhere - track like football tennis etc require an investment in time and capital to develop a pro level athlete... Brazil doesn't spend money on its programs outside of soccer / football to the level that 1st world countries do.
If every country in the caribbean was funded like the US in sports- guess what the olympics would look like
3. breeding is only responsible for certain genetic tendencies- some are advantages (bone and muscle density, fast twitch and resilience etc) others are disadvantages (sickle cell, diabetes, heart disease etc) that's it.... it doesn't marginalize or explain away individual achievement.
its not insane - its sounds ugly but its history, medical science and genetics.That's all bullshit. I cannot believe people still believe that black slave descendents gained beneficial genetics from slave breeding. Like it's insane that you actually believe this. And according to the slave breeding logic, the fastest man and woman on the planet should "genetically" be from Brasil based on the largest amount of slaves shipped there.
you dont understand genetics...
blacks genetically have more fast twitch muscle fibras than any race

In a subsequent study Saltin brought several groups of Kenyans to the Karolinska labs in Sweden, where he was then working. Muscle-fiber distribution was similar for the Kenyans and Swedes. But biopsies of the quadricep muscles in the thighs indicated that the Kenyans had more blood-carrying capillaries surrounding the muscle fibers and more mitochondria within the fibers. That's important because mitochondria act a little like power stations, processing the glucose with oxygen brought in by breathing into energy. The Kenyans also were found to have relatively smaller muscle fibers than the Swedes, which Saltin speculated might serve to bring the mitochondria closer to the surrounding capillaries. This process aids in oxidation, bringing more "fuel" to the mitochondria, the engine of the muscles.

granted the sickle cell is not more prevalent due to selective breeding... as for the rest - consider: poor whites in US have similar environment and out number blacks - they also have similar eating habits to poor blacks in rural and urban settings but they experience hypertension heart disease and diabetes at much lower ratesAs for the sickle cell, diabetes, and heart disease, none of that is due to slave breeding. Sickle cell is a hereditary trait resistant to malaria. Malaria is prevalent in Tropical climates like West Africa for example. There are Africans with no slave ancestry that have sickle cell and the sickle cell trait. Diabetes and Heart Disease are mainly due to external factors such as Poor Diet, Lack of Exercise, and Heavy Stress. Once again, you have instances of both diseases being prevalent currently among some middle class/upper class communities in Africa and Asia that follow western diets and lifestyles (fast food, large amounts of salt, fat, and sugar, and little to no exercise. Neither group were bred as slaves.
You are late to the argument - I know it feels bad to think of what was done to us, but again I suggest you read this thread.Please stop spreading this slave breeding nonsense. It gives credit to white savages who did nothing but rape, pillage, and annihilate millions across the world for centuries.

Blacks still currently dominate baseball. They just happen to be from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, etc.
The overall number of American Blacks in baseball is low. Back in the day Baby Boomer Blacks played baseball. AT most inner city schools the baseball programs have been shut down. If American Blacks got back into the sport the Majors would look totally different.
its not insane - its sounds ugly but its history, medical science and genetics.
I suggest you read the thread - but failing that you can start with these posts I quoted

logically - if what you and other denialists say is true and genetics plays no part then whites would succumb at higher rates per capita or similar to blacks.
Every study for diabetes I've read compares Western /Sub-Saharan African rates to US rates not African Americans
You are late to the argument - I know it feels bad to think of what was done to us, but again I suggest you read this thread.
As I said before in the thread- I'm not giving credit - Its an indictment.
Did you know that there is a much higher concentration of fast-twitch muscle fibers (and Actinen A) (+/- 70%) in populations of North American and Caribbean slave descendants than any other group?I never said genetics don't play a part in disease. I said that slave breeding is not the main culprit of high rates of diabetes and heart disease in the community.
And it has nothing to do with feeling bad about the practice of slave breeding. Slave breeding definitely was a real thing. Very inhumane and barbaric. But there isn't any real evidence that directly correlates Black athletes in sports from the last 30-50 years with slave breeding.
Prime Example: The Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo is 7 ft playing point guard in the NBA. Now he's a supreme athlete. 100% Nigerian. No slave ancestry that I know of. What is to explain for his athleticism?
There are PLENTY of Nigerians in the NFL. Big Strong and Fast as hell too. Again, no slave ancestry to speak of. How is it that they perform well in the NFL with all these "slave bred" descendants?
I will say it again. Please refrain from spreading this slave breeding nonsense as the reason black people are prevalent in sports in America.
