2 black dudes there like 30 white people.. black dudes were "trying to dunk", they couldnt even touch the rim.


That's why they were hanging out at the "all white" gym.

lmfao yup.. i can't recall ever being in a gym like that.. usually wherever I go i'm one of only a few white people. One thing I found interesting was how smiley everyone was. For example, people were laughing during the game. After foul calls, people would smile and stuff. People would dribble down the court with a smile on their face...

Normally when I go to a court, games are pretty heated.. lots of hard fouls and occasional face-offs where people are almost going to fight but it's broken up.. The games themselves are very intense, then after the game everyone chills..

Who knows it was just one experience but, it definitely was night & day.


So... you summed up black vs white attitude? That explains a lot.

I wonder what tests they used for the motor skill development

LBSS,

Now you're creating a strawmen. I never said blacks were better dancers and I never said dumb people were better dancers. I said people thought to be highly intelligent that think a lot generally aren't good dancers (or good athletes).  Make a list of the worlds 100 greatest thinkers and its relatively unlikely they were ever tearing it up on the dance floor at any age, with or without practice. Regardless of skin color.  The evolution of the human brain particularly with regards to front brain development does help to explain why, if you link that with movement skills.

On another note you would do well to read "Global Bell Curve" by Richard Lynn.

There have been multiple studies showing that young males of west african descent (generally what is referred to in the US as "black")  in the US tend to have lower body fat, perform slightly better on sprint and strength tests than their white counterparts etc...

And have better motor skill development at any given age.
