    Would a white athlete that could run as fast or faster than black athletes not really be white? Seeing as sprinting success is a commonly used 'racial trait' for blacks.

      That's right Sandman. I see a white guy in a sprint with a bunch of black guys and I think, damn, that's the fastest white man on earth! He loses by a long ways but I always think of him as a winner, just being there.

              Feel free to be proud of it, Luk.

              But understand that there is a difference between being proud of the accomplishments of a collective group of people with light-colored skin who have, historically, spent AT LEAST as much of their time ripping each other's throats out as they have building this society you're so proud of, and claiming that because of this accomplishment, all other groups of humans with different shades of skin coloration must be inferior.

                Luk,
                Two points.

                1) Make your own accomplishments. Don't claim your own superiority by the accomplishments of others.

                2) Be proud of the accomplishments of humans. We're all humans.

                  Let's talk about something more stupid -- I bet blondes make better athletes than those with red hair.

                    As Dave Chapell puts it,

                    It's not the black genes folks. Theres no such thing that makes the black man run any faster than the white man. Its all the years of running from the lions in africa and cops today... We have to be able to run fast or we dont survive!

                        Considering truly "pure" races do not exist, either you treat all races as equals or you're being a hypocrite.

                        That said, you can and should be proud of the particular fragment of human civilization you belong to, regardless of such issues as race.

                        Sadly, some people still don't get it...

                                I'm not. I didn't do anything to make myself white. Why be proud of an accident of birth?

                                Im proud of my ancestors who developed the best civilization in the world.


                                What did you have to do with it? Poland was a great country at one time. How the might have fallen. Don't worry, our time will come too.
