Do Races Differ in Athletic Ability?
Do races differ in athletic ability? Do Blacks really dominate sports? The answer to these questions is no. Unfortunately, this response flies in the face of commonly accepted logic. Most Americans believe that races are real and correspond to their common sense observations.

Another link from Graves does not convince me; the posting at the top of this thread is also by him, and as I elaborated in my first response on this thread, his position is deeply confused.

Just because the human races are not as biologically distinct as species doesn't mean that there are no biological differences, as a statistical group.

Just because there are examples of dominance in a sport that is apparently not due to biology (Russian chess) doesn't mean that it never happens (West African sprinters).

Just because some racial differences (skin color, eye shape, average size, ...) are cosmetic doesn't mean that all racial differences are cosmetic.

Just because this is a conservative forum doesn't mean there aren't some participants here trapped in Politically Correct thinking.

Just because I've read two articles by Mr. Graves today doesn't mean I ever want to read another word of his.
