Why are black people so damn strong?

[Anonymous]

Black men look always so muscular, average speaking! They sometimes don't even workout and look muscular, where it seemsl ike men from other race need to put more effort in being muscular? Also the women.. black women seem so strong, curvy, strong personalities! How come blacks seem so strong? It's all cool though :) I just really wonder..

[sjoes006]

I've thought about this. I think maybe because when our ancestors who eventually would be white people went wondering off like a dummy they were met with cold harsher weather. Making it necessary to use more tool and build better shelters. With the tools we had to exert less effort to kill game and fashioned horse to chase it down and haul it back.

White people didn't necessarily need as much muscle and certainly didn't run as much as the cousins we left behind. Africans were still tribal hunters and gatherers and ran a lot more. There is one tiny community in Aftica that has had over a handful of the worlds best runners.

[Asker]

but they also seem a lot stronger than white people. Black women and black men seem so tough! Yes, Iheard about that community! I would shit my pants there if they get mad with me lol

whites set traps, blacks would hunt?

yea that village is in ethopia. there's some good discussion about them around the web.

[sjoes006]

Okay I remember the theory now. When our black ancestors wandered off to Europe they weren't getting enough Vitamin D because of having to wear clothes and less sunrays. Less vitamin D would lead to smaller bones and I guess maybe muscle too.

But then one person was born with the white genetic mutation which proved advantageous as more D could get through the skin and be absorbed and the mutation spread across the population. Same thing with a different mutation for the fools who wandered off to Asia.

[sjoes006]

@orphan Ah yes white people do set traps I guess. It was probably a combination of things. The cold makes you burn and need more calories so less energy to run, plus vitamin D deficiency made traps and what not a necessary option and we just became less skilled runners at least as far as sprinting goes. Also most of the Polish and German type muscley white people appear to naturally have a higher fat percentage. I mean even looking at pictures of these guys from 100 years ago before everyone was chubby. It makes since that you would need it in colder climates where as on the Sahara a lower fat ratio is more beneficial so as not to overheat. Plus darker skin makes your muscles look more toned it's why all body builders tan like crazy.

Yeah okay Ethiopia I think there is a book called Born to Run which discusses that tribe.

n mongoloids eyelids/shape counter snow blindness =P

[sjoes006]

@orphan yes and this article on how Inuits have a lower rate of heart disease while sustaining themselves on a heavy fat diet that would kill the rest of us.

@sjoes006

i sent you a message.

[existing_not_living]

Lol, this made me laugh. It's because of slavery. I am really strong. I have natural muscle on my arms. Everyone always assumes I work out and when I tell them I am the laziest couch potato ever, they never believe me and think I am lying. Like, why would I lie about not working out, haha? I really don't work out. All the girls I am friends with always wish they had my muscles, but I see it as a curse. I don't like them. People love my arms, but I hate them. It's whatever though.

[Asker]

white girls won't mess with you then, lol

[existing_not_living]

Not in a physical fight, at least, haha.

[InkedBabe]

Black people just have better genetics, the theory is back then during slavery the whites use to force the strongest and muscular men with the strongest and curvy lady slaves to fuck and have children together, this producing stronger children for slavery. This is why a lot black people can put on a lot of muscle naturally, and why a lot black girls have big hips and big asses because of there genes

[Asker]

it makes the black men and women fucking hot lol

[InkedBabe]

Sorta a lot of black people where genetically gifted with nice bodies but sometimes they have hideous faces

[Ironlak282]

It is possible that many black Americans have strong genes physically speaking because of slavery and the kind of slaves the masters wanted ( a bit controversial) however I think most black people probably seem more muscular because of their dark skin which makes their body's appear more defined. Also today's culture has sort of wired us into associating black people with tough gangsta's. it is true some black people have faster twitch fibers but I think that has more to do with running. I've heard genetically speaking blacks are better at explosive movements whereas whites are better at endurance

[RationalMale]

more testosterone? maybe making their men manlier and their women manlier, lol. that, and blacks physically mature faster than whites, by several years. it's why black kids usually look older than they are to white kids, for example, and part of why blacks on average die sooner.

[Asker]

thats why blacks almost always win their fights vs white people?

[sjoes006]

White people used to be black people so the question is more one of what turned white people different physically in these ways after they went wandering off.

[RationalMale]

nah, that's because they prefer a 5 vs 1 strategy

[RationalMale]

@sjoes006

isn't that kind of racist, implying that we whites are more evolved and black people are more primitive?

[RationalMale]

[Asker]

thanks for the link

[sjoes006]

You can certainly interpret what I said that way if you like though it isn't the point I'm getting at. We have 99.5% the same genes as black people and really aren't that different. But we all started on he same continent with the same everything then some people decided to migrate off one way and another group went the others and some stayed.

So if we are asking the question what environmental factors lead Asians and whites to develop that.05% variance in just spitballing reasons.

Africans have pyramids and other great achievements but like the Native Americans Africans moved around a lot following whatever they were hunting.

Europeans stopped doing that at some point do to weather. They were simply faced with different challenges. I actually think white people were kind of stupid to wander off to horrible damp cold weather and be like yep were tired. This is place.

[RationalMale]

ehh egyptians had pyramids.. did sub sarahan africa ever account to much, despite the fertile land, insane natural resources, good weather, and large mammals that could be used for labor? @sjoes006

[Cookies_AndMilk]

Black people have more fast twitch muscle fibers which allows them to build and retain more muscle, they have larger heavier skeletons that support their framework.

[Asker]

it is pretty hot though! they look handsome lol! same for women

[orphan]

@cookies_andmilk part of the reason why people assume they can't swim competitively. greater bone density

[Cookies_AndMilk]

@Asker yes of course. Physically fit bodies are always attractive. :) @orphan I didn't know that was the reasoning behind their thinking. It's still silly to think it, but I though it was for some prejudiced idea they had.

[Asker]

I am bi and love both black men and black women lol.. black women seem fit and strong too

[ArtDent]

Jimmy the Greek got fired for saying that on the air

[Anonymous]

Aren't most champion weightlifters white? People of African or mixed heritage tend to excel at speed and endurance.

I think the reason why they look more muscular is less subcutaneous fat. Their muscles are better defined. Makes sense if you come from a hot climate you would have less insulation around your body.

[ArtDent]

Ding ding ding

[31yovirgindude]

I know some black guys at the gym and they train hard. I even compare lean recipes with them to lose bodyfat at a faster rate. They want to look good just like us white and other non-white guys.

[Anonymous]

Oh oh oh. Scary scary territory friend. We're not allowed to acknowledge that different races have different more common inherent advantages. Tread very carefully if you ask this about anything other than black people.

[golani]

well back when slavery in america existed they used to basically kill the weaker slaves, or they would just die. only the big and strong ones survived.

[Anilkumar11]

I can see the runner they have strong muscles I don't know what food they eat I also want to eat there food lok

[orphan]

why are their torsos longer? science is still investigating.

[Asker]

longer and more muscular lol

[orphan]

the only insightful article i've read was about ethopian long distance runners... all hailing from the same village iirc. google it. perhaps that'll give you leads on your question.

[alphadoggystyle]

blacks have shorter torsos and longer legs

[BruceTrails]

So true they always have these muscles popping up without going to the gym, I'm a bit jealous cuz of that haha.

[Anonymous]

Environmental adaption for sure. They definitely have beautiful bodies (the ones that are not fat lazy Americans lol)

[LittleSally]

Never noticed that.

[Asker]

You never noticed how much more muscular blacks look than whites? from now on you will beleive me lol! as a white girl you dont want trouble with a black girl I think lol

[dev765]

They are the original people.

[alphadoggystyle]

no they are not, the first humans in africa before the great migration did not look like any modern humans do.
