Yes. Jeremy Wariner is an example.

that is sucha streotype,, and i dont think there is any scientific explination, so i would say no,, and that doesn't mean white people are faster either

That is quite a stretch there but the way it works now is that an Olympic athlete can be replaced by another top finisher from the same nation. But if there were no available candidates then the specific sport would be listed as having no winners.

Yes, everybody can...\nThe thing is that they have not yet achieved the level needed for that to happen...

none, we are all americans and should not be listed as a group of this or that.

Yes. It's crazy of Blair to do that. I think low achievers in any group of people need a persecution-complex to wallow in and even though black slavery was not widespread on the Island of Britain certain blacks in Britain are jealous of the culture of self righteous bitterness that some black Americans immerse themslves in to deflect criticism of underachievement.

There is a such thing as "race". It is a way to identify yourself, so you can be categorize for no necessary reason.  You can be White (race) and be Russian, Swedish, Polish, Jewish (ethnicity), but your race is still White. Just like you be can Black, and be Haitian, African, Jamaican.  Affirmative action intentions in the beginning were not the same as it is used today.  Is it still necessary? YES!!! because jobs are not available to everyone equally, despite experience. It's not just a way to help Blacks or Hispanics, it helps women too. However, it has its faults and setbacks, and should be improved upon.

None, Race is a socially constructed idea and therefor has no numerical or sceintific requirements.

You're really hung on race. Why is that? The answer to your \nquestion is ABSOLUTELY NO!!!

Probably for the same reason that there have been no other minorities in the presidency.\n\nIs it fair?  Of course not, but sadly enough, that's how it is.

Andy Rooney  said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:    \n\nWhen 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability. \n\nI don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Don't think it's gonna happen, at least not in the US in the near future. Most people at heart are still  racists, tough they may deny it. Unfortunate, but many of em wouldn't want the off-spring of slaves to rule over their good ole white country.\n\nst

I am not an african american myself, but I am sure most people would like that to happen. It would be a great way in showing how all races are equal and the same.

It is not because of physical superiority. You may argue that blacks generally have a genetic advantage over other races, and that may be true, but the difference is marginal. Trust me, it is mostly because other races are too intimidated to go out and win a starting position dominated by blacks. Sure, being a wide receiver does require a lot of speed, but let's consider how marginal the difference in sprint speed between blacks and whites actually is. The fastest white sprinter ever (a German) did the 100 meter dash in 10 seconds way, way back in the 60's. Today, almost fifty years later black sprinters have improved that time by only about .5 of a second. Plus, don't forget, a wide reciever has other attributes besides speed that have to be taken into consideration. The NFL has a tendency to put more emphasis on the combine then they do on performance on the field. I'd take a guy like Steve Largent or Dwight Clark (both modern era players) over Atwaan Randle El or Ashley Lelie! Wouldn't you??? \n\nJust for sake of speculation here's another scenario to consider. I'd be willing to bet a whole years salary that if the Communist Chinese government decided to make it mandatory for every Chinese male to train as an Olympic sprinter does from the time they entered Jr. High school, China would have an Olympic gold medalist on the podium within 12 or14 years.. Why? Well, why do you think? There are over 2 BILLION people living in China alone. Someone out of 2 BILLION people would HAVE to have the desire, anatomy, and the determination to eventually win the event. Think about it..

OOOOH. I have asked similar questions, and the answers I get are, for instance, a large part of the inner city popultaion is Black.I think it's safe to say that inner city sports, I.E. school football and basketball will be played and often perfected, by black people. swimming is not often considered a sport for the inner city, nor is skiing or snowboarding.\nFor the record, I am one of three white people on my street, I live in the city, and I love all of my neighbors.(Except that kid that keeps trying to piss my dog off!)

A simple yes/no answer should really suffice. The answer is no. There are a number of clearly identifiable factors which render this osrt of action unachievable (whether desirable or not, which is not the question posed) in the US or anywhere else for that matter.\n\nThe biggest single factor is public disinterest. Organisers of any event that they feel passionate abotu will find it hard to understand that people, being intrinsically selfish, don't want to participate for numerous reasons inlcuding inconvenience, laziness and apathy, belief that the action is flawed or doomed to failure anyway etc.\n\nOther factors contributing to the "no" answer include information distribution (how do you communicate effectively) and dealing with counter-information from those who would not want such an event to take place.\n\nOrganisers of demonstrations and protests know these things, and therefore they ensure that there is a groundswell of support long before the event is announced. In the case of the fight by Bob Geldof and others against the G8 and their stance on African poverty, mobilising the media and getting them onside is also critical.\n\nNeither of these would apply for the given scenario.\n\nThanks for exercising my brain for 5 minutes.
