Throughout history racism has played a very influential role on our society. One of the most well known and well recognized is the discrimination between African Americans and Caucasians. In the past this was caused from the owning of black slaves by white southerners. In a sense this is probably partially why today we still have problems with racists’ views.
In today’s world an often controversial topic is sports and the African American influence them. A current question that arises is, “Are blacks genetically or naturally more elite in the world of sports?” Often this question is viewed as a very racially discriminating topic but I believe that it’s a valid question to ask. When you watch most too all sports you will often see a very diverse amount of players. As you look however to who is dominating play most often you are going to discover that you find a larger amount of African American competitors controlling the winners circle. This is often demonstrated in the Olympic Games; in the track and field competitions. This winning is why the curiosity of questioning their genetic capabilities form but can you really blame the erg to find out?
Its really hard to say what gives who an advantage over another but I do believe that hard work no matter who or what color our skin is will get you to the winners' circle.
What do you think???
