There is No Athletic Master Race: James LaFond By John Steele

Here is a great article by US martial artist James LaFond, debunking the line taken by the likes of American Renaissance, that Blacks are an athletic master race. It is just not so.

“I’m not going to answer that question.

Perhaps you might answer it after I demolish the idea spread by Stefan Molyneux, Richard Spencer and various American Renaissance speakers that “blacks” are super athletes.

Since this is an insulting proposition to all of us I have slid in some sports that are not recognized by any athletic commission, though I drew the line at rat fishing.

With libertarian types like Molyneux there is the obvious liberal desire to be the big brained master mind in the ivory tower of power bossing the athletic orcs about.

Let’s divide sports by category and in each category I will list those “dominated” by people of African ancestry, followed by a list of sports dominated by others and by a third list of sports dominated by no particular race.

First, I must disclaim the use of meta-zoological races that do not actually exist, such as “black” and “white” and will instead use actual rather than fantastical overgeneralizations, such as European, African, Amerindian, Asian and Polynesian.

Summary of 80 Sports

About 20 specific sports have been eliminated due to limited African opportunity.

African Dominated Sports = 11

Dominated by Non-Africans = 59 [including all extreme sports and virtually all strength sports]

Egalitarian Sports Dominated by No Race = 10 [including dodge ball and head hunting]

In the most MANLY sports, including boxing and MMA, there is no dominant race. Also, in the two most popular sports in the world, baseball and soccer, there is no dominant race. Why certain sissies and intellectuals wish to convince us that people of African descent are an athletic master race is open to question. What is not open to question is that most sports, particularly the most dangerous sports, the most strength-oriented and the most violent sports do not favor Africans. Most importantly is the very clear fact that the heavyweight divisions in boxing, MMA and kick boxing see standout representation from multiple major racial groupings and that men born to our various races should not be dissuaded by philosophers and politicians into thinking that they cannot seek to test themselves in the most rigorous disciplines.

In the end, the question that comes most keenly to mind is this: Why has our ruling media elite chosen to downplay sports in which people of European descent excel, such as strength sports and precision sports for basketball and football? I suspect that it is because jumping triggers emotions in the viewer that make him more likely to be susceptible to advertising, for these ball sports only thrive as advertising platforms where more aggressively dynamic combat sports command the pay per view dollar.

This is another example of how our media and intellectual classes distort reality for the purpose of keeping different types of underclass people at each other’s throats.

Postscript from Shep

Please add to the list of professional athletics dominated by “Other”:

U.S. Navy SEALS: 1% black in the officer corps, 2% black in the enlisted ranks.

USAF Pararescue: One (1) black total out of nearly 700 “PJ’s”

U.S. Army Special Forces: 5% black in both the officer and enlisted categories
