Race doesn’t exist, except when it does

A new study notes that race is a social construct and doesn’t exist… but racial differences in body types explain why whites are better swimmers than blacks and blacks are better sprinters in track.

The story’s lead notes that “Scientists have found the reason why blacks dominate on the running track and whites in the swimming pool: it’s in their belly-buttons, a study published Monday shows.”

Duke University professor Andre Bejan notes that runners of West African origin have a higher center of gravity than European runners, which give them a “hidden height” that allow them to move faster on the track.

Usain Bolt, the best sprinter in the world

On the other hand, the difference in the center of gravity gives whites an actual advantage over blacks in the pool, as the larger torso of whites creates bigger waves. At elite levels, we will probably never see black swimming champions.  Instead, we’ll get guys like Eric “the Eel” Mousammbani and his performance at the 2000 Olympics, which looked more like when a crowd sympathetically cheers a fat guy for successfully completing a 5K than an elite competition.

Asians have the same aquatic advantage, but because whites tend to be taller, whites will continue to dominate swimming sports.

Now, there’s nothing offensive about any of this.  It’s just reality, whether we like it or not.  However, lest people think about this too much, Andre Bejan takes care to state that “the study he conducted with Edward Jones, a professor at Howard University in Washington, and Duke graduate Jordan Charles, focused on the athletes’ geographic origins and biology, not race, which the authors of the study call a ‘social construct.’”

So, race doesn’t exist, except when it does, at which point you can mention it, but only if you preface it by saying this doesn’t actually exist.

As overused and lame as 1984 references are, this is as close to an exact example of “doublethink” as you could possibly have.

    LOL! Their bellybuttons, right! It couldn’t possibly be all that extra testosterone that they (yep: it is a fact, even their women have high levels of it) that is coursing through their bloodstream, could it? NOOOoooo! That would be very un-PC. We aren’t allowed to point out either then, that all the average black man has to do to “get ripped” is to LOOK at a set of barbells, I guess. Nor can we mention that their legs are longer, they are generally taller, their thigh muscles are huge compared to white’s, their eyes are often so far apart that they almost look like they are mounted on the sides of their heads and so on, and on and on. No, all of that can’t possibly be indicative of actual racial differences, since as we all no (after all, our much vaunted educators, tell us this) there “is no such thing as race”.

    Are social feeling’s being put in front of science?

    ANTHROPOLOGY

    The name Homo sapien was first used by the 18th Century Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus. The word “sapien” means “wise.” The name was originally used to speak of the White man and synonymous with “europaeus.” As a result, many later taxonomists and geneticists believed that Negroes and other races should be classified as different species. In fact, Darwin declared in The Descent of Man that the varieties of mankind are so distinct that similar differences found in any other animal would warrant their classification in different species, if not different genera.

    For his mammoth work, The Origin of Races, Professor Carleton Coon, President of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists and the premier geneticist of the world, assembled massive evidence from geography, anatomy, genetics, physiology, comparative dentition, linguistics, archeology, and fossil records from 300 bone-bearing sites to verify his theory of pre-sapien racianation.” In other words, Homo erectus was divided by race even before evolution into Homo sapien stage.

    According to Dr. Coon, while the Caucasoid subspecies (the White race) was evolving in Europe, the Negro race was standing still on the evolutionary plane and is today no less than 200,000 years behind the European in skull and brain development.

    The Negro skull, in addition to having a smaller brain volume and thicker cranial bones than that of the White, is prognathous; i.e., the lower face projects forward, rather in the manner of an animal’s muzzle. In consequence, the Negro jaw is substantially longer, relative to its width, than the White jaw. A feature of the Negro lower jaw is its retention of a vestige of the “simian shelf,” a bony region immediately behind the incisors. The simian shelf is a distinguishing characteristic of apes, and it is absent in Whites.

    The skin of the Negro is thicker and possibly superior to the White’s in the way it impedes the penetration of germs and in its protection from the ultraviolet rays of the sun.

    The dark color of the Negro is due to melanin pigment which is spread through every layer of the skin and is found even in the muscles and brain.

    An African dentist can tell a Negro’s tooth from a white man’s at a glance.

    Negroes have arms which are longer, relative to body height, than those of Whites. This feature, together with their much thicker cranial bones, gives Black athletes an advantage over Whites in boxing.

    The skeletal and muscular peculiarities of Negroes’ lower limbs have given them considerable success as sprinters, but have left them relative undistinguished as distance runners.

    ADDITIONAL DIFFERENCES

    The hair is black, crispy, and “woolly” in texture, it is flat and elliptical with no central canal or duct like the hair of Europeans.

    The nose is thick, broad and flat, often turned up nostrils exposing the red inner lining of the mucous membrane similar to an ape.

    The arms and legs of the Negro are relatively longer than the European.

    The humerus is a trifle shorter and the forearm longer thereby approximating the simian form.

    The eyes are prominent, iris black and the orbits large. The eye often has a yellowish sclerotic coat over it like that of a gorilla.

    The Negro has a shorter trunk the cross-section of the chest is more circular than whites. The pelvis is narrower and longer as it is in an ape.
    The mouth is wide with very thick, large and protruding lips.

    Negro skin has a thick superficial horny layer which resists scratching and impedes the penetration of germs.
    The Negro has a larger and shorter neck akin to that of anthropoids.

    The cranial sutures are more simple than in the white type and close together earlier.

    The ears are roundish, rather small, standing somewhat high and detached thus approaching the simian form.

    The Negro is more powerfully developed from the pelvis down and the white more powerfully developed in the chest.

    The jaw is larger and stronger and protrudes outward which, along with lower retreating forehead, gives a facial angle of 68 to 70 degrees as opposed to a facial angle of 80 to 82 degrees for Europeans.

    The hands and fingers are proportionally narrower and longer. The wrist and ankles are shorter and more robust.

    The frontal and paricial bones of the cranium are less excavated and less capacious. The skull is thicker especially on the sides.

    The brain of the Negro on the average is 9 to 20% smaller than whites.

    The teeth are larger and are wider apart than in the white race.

    The three curvatures of the spine are less pronounced in the Negro than in the white and thus more characteristic of an ape.

    The femur of the Negro is less oblique, the tibia (shin bone) more curved and bent forward, the calf of the leg high and but little developed.

    The heel is broad and projecting, the foot long and broad but slightly arched causing flat soles, the great toe is shorter than in the white.

    The two bones proper of the nose are occasionally united, as in apes.

    There are probably several factors. This is one among many. The point is — scientists have to simultaneously explore racial differences while denying they exist.

  7. Discard says:

    I once heard an anthropology lecturer, a very intelligent and interesting White woman, explain that “race” was not a valid concept. Then, throughout the series of lectures, she used the phrase “population group” as in “sub-Saharan population group”, as a synonym for this supposedly invalid concept. She knew the truth, but felt forced to lie about it. If I were a race traitor on trial, I don’t know which I’d fear more: A jury of Ku Kluxers, or a jury of physical anthropologists, neurologists, and geneticists who had been forced to grovel to the diversity commissars.

  8. Brutus says:

    Since this penise myth thing is a subject that is so frequently cited by whites that lends an element of superiority to blacks, it actually needs to explained and debunked everytime it is mentioned. Like everything else, the mean size and distribution of penises has been wel studied and documented. The blogs cited above and other actual studies done show that blacks are not all packing John Holmes size peckers.

    Moreover, the main difference and the source of the myth is that there are two types of men: “showers” and “growers.” “Showers” are men who, basically, are the same size all the time, they just get erect. “Growers,” when erect, gain anywhere from about two inches to as much as four or five inches beyond and wider than when flacid.

    Most white men are “growers,” and many black men are “showers.” Hence why, if you notice, most of the stories seeming to back up the Negro penis myth come from locker rooms and sightings like Joanne.

    BTW, and for some humor too, this Falcon fellow who is said to be the world record holder is not. About 12 years ago a friend of mine used to married to a woman about 10 years older than him. The husband she had before she married my friend MUST have had the biggest dick in history, lol. He’d be in his 50′s today I guess. She had a picture of him, too. She said that was the reason she actually had to divorce him. She said she just couldn’t handle it. I shit you not, it looked like a piece of firewood. If he wasn’t 18 inches and about 5 wide, he wasn’t an inch. And this guy was a short, extremely nerdy looking dude. I asked her what the hell the guy wore to cover that up everyday and she said he had to wear oversize and baggy pants out in public. I’ve seen pictures but I have never seen anything like or heard of any discription like this woman gave of him.

    For the benefit of the others here I will mention that we take 90% of Olympic medals. So much for our supposed athletic inferiority. Not to mention, the Northeast Asians, not groids, come in second. Africans are significantly behind both. Schade.

    Biased Observer,

    Several studies have shown whites having slightly higher T or the same.

    “they are generally taller”

    Not true, white’s are on average taller. Compare the few African countries and black USA vs white USA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height#Average_height_around_the_world

    This is true: “their legs are longer”

    This is not true: “their thigh muscles are huge compared to white’s” blacks tend to have longer limbs, this means less of a mechanical advantage for strength sports, thus, whites have stronger legs, not to mention upper body.

    The Jew controlled media brainwashes whites from the day they are able to comprehend anything that they are inferior to blacks in athletics. Most athletics are 80% mental, it’s all in your mind.

  12. Discard says:

    With regard to penises, the only thing that matters is the quality of the seed they insert. Black penis=Black seed=more Black people=more violence, carelessness, and dull-mindedness.

  13. Biased Observer says:

    “Are you Guy White?”

    – No, does stating what should be obvious to your senses make me “Guy White”?

    – Watch out Earl Pitts Sr.! “MGLS” will be thinking you are Guy White too!

  14. Biased Observer says:

    “Are you Guy White?”

    – Checked out the sites you listed: so your “Guy White” has come to a couple of the same conclusions I have, I say, so what? Like I said, it is obvious for everyone to see that they tend to have musculature that is prominent and developed without putting out effort to gain it. That is evolution and extra testosterone at work. That does not make them superior, it just makes them better adapted to running away from a leapard that is chasing them, than we are. The brain capacity difference that Earl Pitts cites shows that we are better adapted (or advanced) than the Negro is in other, more important ways. I worked for some years in a state prison, and got to see a lot of “young bucks” over those years and very few of them looked weak to me.

    You clearly did not read the links I posted very carefully.

    Discard,

    Indeed. The quality of the seed is paramount. But, if your depositing it in a trash can, it’s quality will not last long.

  17. Gregory Hood says:

    @Mark

    I haven’t deleted anything.

    That said, I’m consistently amazed at how the comments always become focused on something completely different than the point of the article.

  18. Mark says:

    -HRW

    There were no insults in my post, other than being dismayed at her comments. Further my comment had other relevant information.

    What’s insulting is having one’s comment deleted for no good reason.

  19. Joanne Dee says:

    You called me a Negrophile, Mark. My post merely stated a TRUE experience I had. And, for your information, the other person in the car with me that day was my future WHITE husband! If we can’t speak the truth on these websites without being misunderstood, and subsequently insulted, what good are they? It’s not like I don’t have a history here. And, for the record, I also have a history on Amren as “GetBackJack.”

  20. I cannot say anything about the comment apparently made by Joanne Dee, which upset Mark-as it was apparently deleted before I could read it. That notwithstanding:

    Joanna Dee:

    You are a valued commenter here, and I greatly appreciate what you have to contribute.
