The Olympic 100 meter dash consists, for the top sprinters, of a first round of heats, a semifinal, and then an eight-man final. In the last eleven Olympics from 1984 through 2024, men with at least one sub-Saharan parent have earned 87 of the 88 spots in the finals. Su Bingtian of China broke the streak in 2021, but 2024 started a new one.

  1. I’m always amazed that, when I go to the gym in Japan, the muscular guys who are 20-30 years younger than me can’t lift as much as I. What are the chances Su Bingtian had performance enhancers?

    What are the chances that almost all of the competitors are using something? From my understanding, it is much easier to conceal the use of a peptide like tesamorelin (one of several synthetic GHRHs) compared to other PED's while its effects are reported to be very similar to more traditional anabolic steroid use.

    Young men ain't what they used to be.

    Too many guys are now on Viagra in their 20s or 30s. WAY too much soy estrogen in the diet in the States = man boobs and low testosterone.

    I also find young men irritated and argumentative with women, which is a womanly trait. Men should remain calm in the estrogen storm, and avoid D-R-A-M-A like the plague.

    I regularly beat 20-30-40 year olds in running races all the time (5K-10K-half marathon-full marathon.) This isn't about me - these dudes should be opening up a can of whoop-ass on me, but they CAN'T. My guess is they're full of harmful "vaccines", poison food, and tap water. It adds up.

    Ever since the Olympics tightened the drug testing regime*, the Chinese dominate weight lifting at the lighter and middle weight categories. The heavier weight categories are won by the likes of Iranians, Central Asians, and those from the Caucasus. That’s among men. Among women, the East Asians dominate all weight categories.

    *When the drug testing was weaker, the Soviets and their allied countries were dominant.

    In Fatmerican gyms, the young dudes lift at most 65% of my weights. And I've never seen anyone knock out 12 to 13 pullups as I do routinely - and I'm bulky, borderline fat. Plus I'm elderly, in my 50th year. A lifetime of soy, vaxx, and plastics made young males into weaklings, faggots, and trannies - I don't think 'social contagion' explains the prevalence of perversions.

    Like it or not, Japan’s internationalization is happening. There are fewer Japanese and more foreigners than ever.

    Japan’s population shrank for the 15th year in a row as the country continues to grapple with a chronically low birth rate, an annual report released Wednesday by the ministry of internal affairs shows.

    The number of ethinic Japanese fell by 861,000 (0.7%) from a year before — marking its steepest decline ever — to 121,561,801. However, the number of foreign residents rose by 329,535 (11.01%) from last year to 3,323,374, hitting a record high.

    That can only grow. Even if the foreign population numerically stayed the same as it is now, its percentage of the total population will still rise due to Japan’s below-replacement birthrates. But the NJ population will not stay the same—the economics of Japan’s aging labor force is reaching the point where officials see the writing on the wall. According to a recent Kyodo News survey, a whopping 86% of Japan’s municipalities want more NJ workers to do the jobs and save their senescent cities from extinction.

    All of these figures do not, of course, include all the multicultural and multiethnic children already in Japan with diverse identities and backgrounds. They are deliberately ignored because Japan’s census does not inquire about ethnicity. So, if anything, Japan’s internationalization is grossly underestimated.

    I go to a pu$$y gym now (Planet Fitness), and I'm hugely entertained by the antics of the younger guys these days. The guys throwing weight they can't handle on a bar and doing 2" reps. The guys built like stick figures doing a set and running to the mirror to see if their biceps grew or if there were six-pack abs that appeared in the last two minutes. Guys running out of the locker room because some unthinking old guy actually showered and is standing there naked while drying off.

    And don't get me started about the phones.

    The girl and I usually do cardio on the bikes located where the Smith racks meet the dumbbell area. It was the girl (leave it to a plain-spoken nurse) who first observed that the average young guy at the gym seems more like a young girl these days, both in athletic ability and affect.

    T decline is real.

  2. People with WN inclinations should give far more reverence and gratitude to the one creature that kept blacks on the other side of the Sahara.

    If not for this one species, blacks would have migrated northward on the Nile, spread along the far more hospitable Mediterranean coast of Africa by 2000 BC, and since the M. Sea has weak tides and short distances between land, blacks would have migrated across the Levant and Turkey to the European coast, and taken over the good-weather land in what is now Spain, Southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, etc. by no later than 1400 BC. Even if Blacks chose not to go further north than Central France due to cold winters, their presence in Southern Europe from 1400 BC onwards would have precluded the formation of Greek and Roman societies. This would have prevented Western Civ outright, since Northern Europe might not have advanced without Greece and Rome having existed for a long time first. The Vikings, Goths, and Kievan Rus might have been the high points of white society, after which the Mongols would have come over to take over Kievan Rus as well as purge blacks from Europe. So Europe today would be Mongol.

    So, what is this noble creature to which Western Civ owes its gratitude?

    The Nile Crocodile.

    See the range of the Nile Crocodile (per Wikipedia) :

    It clearly kept blacks bottled up in Sub-Saharan Africa by preventing them from migrating up the Nile. It is a large, aggressive, and dangerous creature that happily eats humans.

    WN types need to express more gratitude to the Nile Crocodile. Fortunately, one of the last of the classical National Geographic wildlife specials from 1995 was titled ‘Last Feast of the Crocodiles’. It is very good, and features the legendary NatGeo theme music with trumpets and drums in their full glory :

    Lest you think the Nile Crocodile is just a counterpart to our own American Alligators, this video reveals how much larger the Nile Crocodile is :

    Hence, WN beliefs require veneration of the Nile Crocodile, and the NatGeo special should be seen as religious material for WN wiggers.

    One way the term Subsaharan is too broad is that it includes East African nations such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan which have never produced a great sprinter, because ... they are the best distance runners, especially those from the highlands. They appear to be a minority racial subtype ... In Rwanda, they were the Tutsis, and the Hutus were the larger stickier type

    A couple of conclusions could be drawn in a sane world. ALL Black Africans have an advantage as runners, due to proportionally longer legs propelling a proportionally shorter torso. East Africans probably have similar percentage of high twitch fibers as the rest of humanity .. but combine longer legs and superior lung capacity of highland natives ....

    West Africans simply must have an advantage in high twitch fibers in their legs. There are two ways to show this .... The super dominance in sprints by both West Africans and their descendants in the America's... AND the total disappearance of these people in races over 800 meters. Which is exactly what the theory would predict. If you have a surplus of high twitch, you will have a deficit of the low twitch fibers needed for endurance

    Testosterone levels have collapsed over the past 40 years. Probably due to a combination of factors, such as diet , estrogenic chemicals in our food and water due to leaching from all the plastics being used.

  15. Been watching some Olympics with AnotherDaughter and seen ads for Kamala Harris. The one I recall basically had two messages–
    1) Kamala is for working people–actual snippet of some guy in a combine–doing well.
    2) Kamala is for abortion rights, nationwide.

    The 2nd is clearly true, though not sure what she thinks she is going to do without replacing the Supreme Court with one that reads that right back into the Constitution.

    The 1st of these is a lie–and an obnoxious one. She is not the candidate of the 1950s Democratic Party. She’s a candidate of the Parasite Party–run by and for the WaWa (Washington and Wall Street) looters, with vote banks of blacks, immigrants, the “girls with BAs” in bureaucratic jobs, other “right thinking” good whites and various fringy misfits.

    Trump really needs to attack and debunk this first claim by making ads–and his stump message–that the “Biden Administration”‘s treasonous open border is nothing but an attack upon the jobs, wages, housing, schools, taxes, communities of Americans. an attack upon “affordable family formation” and attack upon the “American Dream”.

    Heck, I’d use the front part of Harris’s ad, show the chaos of the immivaders–in fairness the “Biden Administration” invited them–swarming across then have words print and voice over
    — lost jobs
    — lower wages
    — unaffordable rents and houses
    — declining, crowded schools
    — higher taxes
    — balkanized communities
    have the narrator talk about destruction of “affordable family formation” and
    — destruction of the “American Dream”
    for America’s young people show a depressed couple unable to buy a house
    — treason (flashes on screen)

    then have Trump appear and actually be coherent and thoughtful
    “I will do #1 job our Constitution specifies for the President. I will stop the invasion and secure the borders of the United States. I will fight to preserve the American Dream for our young Americans” with a picture of a young couple, the wife pregnant getting a home. (You can have various couple to make it suitable multi-racial.)

    Kamala is going to have a shit ton of money–from Biden’s campaign funds and more to come from the Democrat’s Wall Street money guys who gave us Biden–to try and normalize herself with ads.

    Trump needs to make this election all about immigration and the border tied to the destruction of the American Dream–especially for our young people. Americans vs. the Parasite Party looters. Trump does that … he wins. If it’s all about Trump … he loses.

    Don’t watch much network TV, but the few Trump ads I’ve seen bash Harris in the voice over. I think he could get a lot more mileage out of a brief “Kamala in her own words”. Showing various quotes like, “The border is secure” then cut to a wave of invaders storming a border fence, or “I’ll outlaw fracking”, or “We must get rid of private gun ownership”. Even low information US voters can draw their own conclusions and it doesn’t look like he’s piling on if he is merely using her prior statements.

    Been watching some Olympics with AnotherDaughter and seen ads for Kamala Harris. The one I recall basically had two messages–
    1) Kamala is for working people–actual snippet of some guy in a combine–doing well.
    2) Kamala is for abortion rights, nationwide.
     
    When I watch the Olympics on my local NBC affiliate I see the same ad. About every other commercial break I see the same ad.

    And I’m in Illinois, a safe blue state. Either Harris thinks her lead in IL is weak, or she just wants to burn money but I’m seeing alot of Harris ads for a safe blue state.

    Trump spends his time kissing black hiney, attacking Kemp and hugging Hulk Hogan. If he wins, I expect him to appoint a Kardashian to a cabinet post.

    People with WN inclinations should give far more reverence and gratitude to the one creature that kept blacks on the other side of the Sahara.

    If not for this one species, blacks would have migrated northward on the Nile, spread along the far more hospitable Mediterranean coast of Africa by 2000 BC, and since the M. Sea has weak tides and short distances between land, blacks would have migrated across the Levant and Turkey to the European coast, and taken over the good-weather land in what is now Spain, Southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, etc. by no later than 1400 BC. Even if Blacks chose not to go further north than Central France due to cold winters, their presence in Southern Europe from 1400 BC onwards would have precluded the formation of Greek and Roman societies. This would have prevented Western Civ outright, since Northern Europe might not have advanced without Greece and Rome having existed for a long time first. The Vikings, Goths, and Kievan Rus might have been the high points of white society, after which the Mongols would have come over to take over Kievan Rus as well as purge blacks from Europe. So Europe today would be Mongol.

    So, what is this noble creature to which Western Civ owes its gratitude?

    The Nile Crocodile.

    It clearly kept blacks bottled up in Sub-Saharan Africa by preventing them from migrating up the Nile. It is a large, aggressive, and dangerous creature that happily eats humans.

    WN types need to express more gratitude to the Nile Crocodile. Fortunately, one of the last of the classical National Geographic wildlife specials from 1995 was titled ‘Last Feast of the Crocodiles’. It is very good, and features the legendary NatGeo theme music with trumpets and drums in their full glory :

    In Fatmerican gyms, the young dudes lift at most 65% of my weights. And I’ve never seen anyone knock out 12 to 13 pullups as I do routinely – and I’m bulky, borderline fat. Plus I’m elderly, in my 50th year.

  19. one of the trends Steve is missing, or at least he’s not talking about, is that it’s only Anglosphere west africans and mulattos now. the French ones, who used to show up once in a while, are mostly gone. Spain, Portugal, and the other participants of the great 400 year battle over the New World, are hardly even represented. depending on how you count them, you might say the Dutch lineage nations are still represented, barely.

    there were way more unlucky souls making the journey to the new world under the crown of other nations, but the relatively lower number of bantus who ended up among the germanic colonial empire landed in a much better place long term.

    this is of course the strength of the British, the Dutch, and the core American groups. they are just much better at building and running things. this is also a big part of their downfall today. everybody is coming to where they are.

    Young men ain't what they used to be.

    Too many guys are now on Viagra in their 20s or 30s. WAY too much soy estrogen in the diet in the States = man boobs and low testosterone.

    I also find young men irritated and argumentative with women, which is a womanly trait. Men should remain calm in the estrogen storm, and avoid D-R-A-M-A like the plague.

    I regularly beat 20-30-40 year olds in running races all the time (5K-10K-half marathon-full marathon.) This isn't about me - these dudes should be opening up a can of whoop-ass on me, but they CAN'T. My guess is they're full of harmful "vaccines", poison food, and tap water. It adds up.

    Testosterone levels have collapsed over the past 40 years. Probably due to a combination of factors, such as diet , estrogenic chemicals in our food and water due to leaching from all the plastics being used. The average 25 year-old man today has lower testosterone than the average 60 year-old man had in 1990.

    2) mind boggling how the second 400 runner from the US on that mixed relay team could be so far out of the legal zone in prelims that she was confused about what was happening and officials had to tell her where to stand. she was about 1 second away from getting the team disqualified. what on earth. been watching track & field since the early 80s. never seen anything like that. seen a lot of that kind of thing in NFL games where the intelligence difference among the players is obvious, but what in the world. how do you get it that wrong. US not practicing the relays again? another baton drop coming up for the 100 relays?

    3) biggest, loudest crowds ever, in every sport. US political banter is that the Paris games are an utter catastrophe – maybe in certain ways – but not in the arenas so far. highest attendance, loudest, most crazy crowds i’ve ever seen, in every venue. an overwhelming success in sports terms. some great performances too. a big improvement over every Olympics…ever?

    The 2nd is clearly true, though not sure what she thinks she is going to do without replacing the Supreme Court with one that reads that right back into the Constitution.

    The 1st of these is a lie--and an obnoxious one. She is not the candidate of the 1950s Democratic Party. She's a candidate of the Parasite Party--run by and for the WaWa (Washington and Wall Street) looters, with vote banks of blacks, immigrants, the "girls with BAs" in bureaucratic jobs, other "right thinking" good whites and various fringy misfits.


    Trump really needs to attack and debunk this first claim by making ads--and his stump message--that the "Biden Administration"'s treasonous open border is nothing but an attack upon the jobs, wages, housing, schools, taxes, communities of Americans. an attack upon "affordable family formation" and attack upon the "American Dream".

    Heck, I'd use the front part of Harris's ad, show the chaos of the immivaders--in fairness the "Biden Administration" invited them--swarming across then have words print and voice over
    -- lost jobs
    -- lower wages
    -- unaffordable rents and houses
    -- declining, crowded schools

    have the narrator talk about destruction of "affordable family formation" and
    -- destruction of the "American Dream"
    for America's young people show a depressed couple unable to buy a house
    -- treason (flashes on screen)

I will fight to preserve the American Dream for our young Americans" with a picture of a young couple, the wife pregnant getting a home.

    Rep. LeBoutillier is an interesting guy. He is a fire-breather, rich from family money, who served one term -- getting elected in the Reagan wave of 1980 before being ousted in 1982 -- famous for his quote on the house floor to the effect of "the federal budget is fat, bloated, and out of control -- just like Tip O'Neill."

    Huh? War is important and serious. Sport is unimportant. It's just sport.

    And this is all per spec. The Olympics was cancelled in 1916, 1940 and 1944 because of the Great War and the World War. And in 1948 Germany and Japan were persona non grata. People tend to take a dim view of people generating invasion and slaughter. In 1980 the US--and some of its allies--boycotted the Moscow games because of the invasion of Afghanistan. (A lot less of disturbance to the international order than Putin's War on Ukraine.) And in 1984 the Soviets--and a few of their allies--counter-boycotted the LA games.

    You can't snap your fingers and whisk away deadly serious matters so trivial entertainment can roll out all hunky dory. Putin knew full well this--and general Russian isolation from the West--would be the effect. The Olympics--and I presume the committee--has a very strong Eurocentric element. And the Ukraine invasion was bound to annoy Europe for precisely the same reason Putin's brilliant move has revivified a dying NATO--Europeans do not want the 'effing Russian Empire to be running around Europe pushing people around like the "good old days".

    Been watching some Olympics with AnotherDaughter and seen ads for Kamala Harris. The one I recall basically had two messages--
    1) Kamala is for working people--actual snippet of some guy in a combine--doing well.
    2) Kamala is for abortion rights, nationwide.

    The 2nd is clearly true, though not sure what she thinks she is going to do without replacing the Supreme Court with one that reads that right back into the Constitution.

    The 1st of these is a lie--and an obnoxious one. She is not the candidate of the 1950s Democratic Party. She's a candidate of the Parasite Party--run by and for the WaWa (Washington and Wall Street) looters, with vote banks of blacks, immigrants, the "girls with BAs" in bureaucratic jobs, other "right thinking" good whites and various fringy misfits.


    Trump really needs to attack and debunk this first claim by making ads--and his stump message--that the "Biden Administration"'s treasonous open border is nothing but an attack upon the jobs, wages, housing, schools, taxes, communities of Americans. an attack upon "affordable family formation" and attack upon the "American Dream".

    Heck, I'd use the front part of Harris's ad, show the chaos of the immivaders--in fairness the "Biden Administration" invited them--swarming across then have words print and voice over
    -- lost jobs
    -- lower wages
    -- unaffordable rents and houses
    -- declining, crowded schools
    -- higher taxes
    -- balkanized communities
    have the narrator talk about destruction of "affordable family formation" and
    -- destruction of the "American Dream"
    for America's young people show a depressed couple unable to buy a house
    -- treason (flashes on screen)

    then have Trump appear and actually be coherent and thoughtful
    "I will do #1 job our Constitution specifies for the President. I will stop the invasion and secure the borders of the United States. I will fight to preserve the American Dream for our young Americans" with a picture of a young couple, the wife pregnant getting a home. (You can have various couple to make it suitable multi-racial.)

    Kamala is going to have a shit ton of money--from Biden's campaign funds and more to come from the Democrat's Wall Street money guys who gave us Biden--to try and normalize herself with ads.

    Trump needs to make this election all about immigration and the border tied to the destruction of the American Dream--especially for our young people. Americans vs. the Parasite Party looters. Trump does that ... he wins. If it's all about Trump ... he loses.

    random notes:

    1) guess IAAF decided it was time to allow the track to be faster. something they've resisted for decades. the technology was there, but like the people who run MLB, they greatly slow roll any big changes like that for continuity reasons. not sure how much faster it will turn out to be, if at all. we'll see.

    2) mind boggling how the second 400 runner from the US on that mixed relay team could be so far out of the legal zone in prelims that she was confused about what was happening and officials had to tell her where to stand. she was about 1 second away from getting the team disqualified. what on earth. been watching track & field since the early 80s. never seen anything like that. seen a lot of that kind of thing in NFL games where the intelligence difference among the players is obvious, but what in the world. how do you get it that wrong. US not practicing the relays again? another baton drop coming up for the 100 relays?

    3) biggest, loudest crowds ever, in every sport. US political banter is that the Paris games are an utter catastrophe - maybe in certain ways - but not in the arenas so far. highest attendance, loudest, most crazy crowds i've ever seen, in every venue. an overwhelming success in sports terms. some great performances too. a big improvement over every Olympics...ever?

    People with WN inclinations should give far more reverence and gratitude to the one creature that kept blacks on the other side of the Sahara.

    If not for this one species, blacks would have migrated northward on the Nile, spread along the far more hospitable Mediterranean coast of Africa by 2000 BC, and since the M. Sea has weak tides and short distances between land, blacks would have migrated across the Levant and Turkey to the European coast, and taken over the good-weather land in what is now Spain, Southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, etc. by no later than 1400 BC. Even if Blacks chose not to go further north than Central France due to cold winters, their presence in Southern Europe from 1400 BC onwards would have precluded the formation of Greek and Roman societies. This would have prevented Western Civ outright, since Northern Europe might not have advanced without Greece and Rome having existed for a long time first. The Vikings, Goths, and Kievan Rus might have been the high points of white society, after which the Mongols would have come over to take over Kievan Rus as well as purge blacks from Europe. So Europe today would be Mongol.

    So, what is this noble creature to which Western Civ owes its gratitude?

    The Nile Crocodile.

    See the range of the Nile Crocodile (per Wikipedia) :
    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/The_range_of_the_Nile_Crocodile.png

    It clearly kept blacks bottled up in Sub-Saharan Africa by preventing them from migrating up the Nile. It is a large, aggressive, and dangerous creature that happily eats humans.

    WN types need to express more gratitude to the Nile Crocodile. Fortunately, one of the last of the classical National Geographic wildlife specials from 1995 was titled ‘Last Feast of the Crocodiles’. It is very good, and features the legendary NatGeo theme music with trumpets and drums in their full glory :

    https://youtu.be/u6ufEnacPqw

    Lest you think the Nile Crocodile is just a counterpart to our own American Alligators, this video reveals how much larger the Nile Crocodile is :
    https://youtu.be/fRDSh01lrLg

    Hence, WN beliefs require veneration of the Nile Crocodile, and the NatGeo special should be seen as religious material for WN wiggers.

    (I didn’t even know they had a mixed 4×4 until last week. My youngest two were both on their HS 4×4 squads, but both squads were one team and a second or so out of the money at the district meet from making it to the WA state meet. A mixed team event would have been really cool, fun.)

    In the 800 prelims–which was my daughters’ best event–I noticed that each heat had some British girl–blond and actually British. And one of them–again whom my daughter knew about–was smoking fast and won her heat.

    In the 1500, the US had some weirdo African in there, but also two white guys who looked so “flyover” you could imagine their great-great-grandfathers behind a horse busting sod. And they both made the final. And the favorites seemed to be not some Kenyans but some actually British guy and some actually Norwegian guy (unfortunately tatted up).

    Steve's coverage of Covid was influenced by him being up in his sixties. For people in that age range like him and me it was a potentially dangerous disease.

    I realized early on, though, that it was a disease where there was a huge variance in the death rates between young and old. The focus should have been put on sheltering the very old, especially in nursing homes, and getting anyone over 65 vaccinated once the vaccines became available. Everyone else should have been allowed to live their normal lives. The lockdowns and push for mass vaccinations did more harm than good.

    There has been a recent fad of house parties among young people. The musical artist most identified with this, Charli XCX, has had a string of recent hits and has the number one trending music video on YouTube right now. Supposedly all this is related to the fact that young people realize they were cheated out of having a normal social life for a couple of years during the lockdowns and are now trying to make up for it. It is a shame what was done to them.

    Been watching some Olympics with AnotherDaughter and seen ads for Kamala Harris. The one I recall basically had two messages--
    1) Kamala is for working people--actual snippet of some guy in a combine--doing well.
    2) Kamala is for abortion rights, nationwide.

    The 2nd is clearly true, though not sure what she thinks she is going to do without replacing the Supreme Court with one that reads that right back into the Constitution.

    The 1st of these is a lie--and an obnoxious one. She is not the candidate of the 1950s Democratic Party. She's a candidate of the Parasite Party--run by and for the WaWa (Washington and Wall Street) looters, with vote banks of blacks, immigrants, the "girls with BAs" in bureaucratic jobs, other "right thinking" good whites and various fringy misfits.


    Trump really needs to attack and debunk this first claim by making ads--and his stump message--that the "Biden Administration"'s treasonous open border is nothing but an attack upon the jobs, wages, housing, schools, taxes, communities of Americans. an attack upon "affordable family formation" and attack upon the "American Dream".

    Heck, I'd use the front part of Harris's ad, show the chaos of the immivaders--in fairness the "Biden Administration" invited them--swarming across then have words print and voice over
    -- lost jobs
    -- lower wages
    -- unaffordable rents and houses
    -- declining, crowded schools
    -- higher taxes
    -- balkanized communities
    have the narrator talk about destruction of "affordable family formation" and
    -- destruction of the "American Dream"
    for America's young people show a depressed couple unable to buy a house
    -- treason (flashes on screen)

    then have Trump appear and actually be coherent and thoughtful
    "I will do #1 job our Constitution specifies for the President. I will stop the invasion and secure the borders of the United States. I will fight to preserve the American Dream for our young Americans" with a picture of a young couple, the wife pregnant getting a home. (You can have various couple to make it suitable multi-racial.)

    Kamala is going to have a shit ton of money--from Biden's campaign funds and more to come from the Democrat's Wall Street money guys who gave us Biden--to try and normalize herself with ads.

    Trump needs to make this election all about immigration and the border tied to the destruction of the American Dream--especially for our young people. Americans vs. the Parasite Party looters. Trump does that ... he wins. If it's all about Trump ... he loses.

    Don’t watch much network TV, but the few Trump ads I’ve seen bash Harris in the voice over. I think he could get a lot more mileage out of a brief “Kamala in her own words”. Showing various quotes like, “The border is secure” then cut to a wave of invaders storming a border fence, or “I’ll outlaw fracking”, or “We must get rid of private gun ownership”. Even low information US voters can draw their own conclusions and it doesn’t look like he’s piling on if he is merely using her prior statements.

    People with WN inclinations should give far more reverence and gratitude to the one creature that kept blacks on the other side of the Sahara.

    If not for this one species, blacks would have migrated northward on the Nile, spread along the far more hospitable Mediterranean coast of Africa by 2000 BC, and since the M. Sea has weak tides and short distances between land, blacks would have migrated across the Levant and Turkey to the European coast, and taken over the good-weather land in what is now Spain, Southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, etc. by no later than 1400 BC. Even if Blacks chose not to go further north than Central France due to cold winters, their presence in Southern Europe from 1400 BC onwards would have precluded the formation of Greek and Roman societies. This would have prevented Western Civ outright, since Northern Europe might not have advanced without Greece and Rome having existed for a long time first. The Vikings, Goths, and Kievan Rus might have been the high points of white society, after which the Mongols would have come over to take over Kievan Rus as well as purge blacks from Europe. So Europe today would be Mongol.

    So, what is this noble creature to which Western Civ owes its gratitude?

    The Nile Crocodile.

    See the range of the Nile Crocodile (per Wikipedia) :
    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/The_range_of_the_Nile_Crocodile.png

    It clearly kept blacks bottled up in Sub-Saharan Africa by preventing them from migrating up the Nile. It is a large, aggressive, and dangerous creature that happily eats humans.

    WN types need to express more gratitude to the Nile Crocodile. Fortunately, one of the last of the classical National Geographic wildlife specials from 1995 was titled ‘Last Feast of the Crocodiles’. It is very good, and features the legendary NatGeo theme music with trumpets and drums in their full glory :

    https://youtu.be/u6ufEnacPqw

    Lest you think the Nile Crocodile is just a counterpart to our own American Alligators, this video reveals how much larger the Nile Crocodile is :
    https://youtu.be/fRDSh01lrLg

    Hence, WN beliefs require veneration of the Nile Crocodile, and the NatGeo special should be seen as religious material for WN wiggers.

    Old man Trump's tenant base in Brooklyn was heavily Jewish. Trump, Sr. was 100% German but he used to tell his tenants that they were Swedish. This was a believable lie because old South Brooklyn had a Scandinavian community. At least more believable than Liz Warren claiming to be an Indian.

    Donald himself repeated the "Swedish" lie in "The Art of the Deal". Kids will often accept what their parents tell them without questioning them much (most light skinned blacks think that their unknown daddy /ancestor was a Cherokee and not a white guy 'cause that's what their momma told them) so I don't know to what extent Donald knew that this was a lie. Donald probably didn't much care if he was Swedish or German so if his daddy said Swedish that was good enough for him and he wasn't going to embark on a genealogical search - he had better things to do with his time. What he was was mainly American. The classic forward looking American self made man (with a little help from daddy) for whom the past is irrelevant. But possibly he knew. Anyway Donald was not above telling a fib or two to make a deal so if those Casino Indians fakers then it takes one to know one.

    This clip ends abruptly. Did Mr. Trump not reply? (All that comes up initially with an internet search just amplifies the last statement from Mr. Miller, i.e., Trump’s a racial demagogue, etc., then jumping to other examples.)

    Lost is the point - whether Trump’s or not - that casinos operated under the auspices of politically identified people were receiving, in today’s terminology, equitable treatment. There’s always money to be made gaming programs like that. Miller’s scolding was fallacious grandstanding, and it would be nice to see if and how Trump refuted it.

    The best Judoka of recent years has been Shohei Ono, who fought in the most competitive division in men's judo - U73 kg. This is an opinion shared by many, likely most, high level Judoka, including Jimmy Pedro and Travis Stevens (the former is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist and world champion as well as coach to Kayla Harrison, Ronda Rousey, Marti Malloy, and Travis Stevens, all Olympic medalists).


    you should send your sons to Paris for a rather costly, yet valuable, seminar…
     
    The French style of Judo is widely reviled for being "negative Judo." It relies extensively on defensive gripping to forestall attacks and gamesmanship to induce shido (penalty) on the opponents. The French are not known for being the best throwers. The Japanese are without peer in throws like Uchi Mata and Sode Tsurikomi Goshi. The Koreans are the best at Seoi Nage and Tai Otoshi. The Georgians and the Mongolians excel in "body Judo" (big pickups and suplex-type throws).

    So far, the US has won 19 gold medals.

    Here are the racial backgrounds of those gold medalists, with team events getting credit for 1 gold medal and the racial backgrounds of those participants averaged as a proportion of 1. We are valuing each gold medal won for the USA equally here. Mixed-race athletes are included in proportion to their mix (i.e. their parents’ races). This is in the four broad racial/ethnic categories that Americans would naturally see as different.

    White – 71.4%
    Black – 18.6%
    Hispanic – 1.1%
    Asian – 8.9%

    Blacks and black sports are notoriously overrepresented by coverage. We see that one gymnast non-stop but little is noted about America’s men’s four rowing team (all-white) or its elite skeet shooter (a 35- year-old white Christian with a wife and two kids living in Fort Worth) who took home golds. With track and field heating up and both basketball teams still to finish, there are some more sports which can help the black contingent close the gap, but by-and-large the United States Olympic team has been carried by whites.

    Sports differ greatly by number of medal chances offered. There are 32 sports and 329 events. It's no accident that the top three Americans, Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, and Jenny Thompson, are all swimmers.

    Ten of the top eleven all-time medal winners are white. This is not due to a head start for Europeans. Mangiarotti broke Nurmi's record as late as 1960, so every other name on this list is from after that, when the whole world would have been represented. Or at least every major race. (Subcontinentals excepted. When will cricket and polo be included?)

    It also helps if a sport is less taxing, and one can compete in three or four Olympiads.




    1 Michael Phelps - USA - Swimming - 23 Gold, 3 Silver, 2 Bronze: 28 total

    2 Larisa Latynina - Soviet Union - Gymnastics - 9 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze: 18 total

    People with WN inclinations should give far more reverence and gratitude to the one creature that kept blacks on the other side of the Sahara.

    If not for this one species, blacks would have migrated northward on the Nile, spread along the far more hospitable Mediterranean coast of Africa by 2000 BC, and since the M. Sea has weak tides and short distances between land, blacks would have migrated across the Levant and Turkey to the European coast, and taken over the good-weather land in what is now Spain, Southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, etc. by no later than 1400 BC. Even if Blacks chose not to go further north than Central France due to cold winters, their presence in Southern Europe from 1400 BC onwards would have precluded the formation of Greek and Roman societies. This would have prevented Western Civ outright, since Northern Europe might not have advanced without Greece and Rome having existed for a long time first. The Vikings, Goths, and Kievan Rus might have been the high points of white society, after which the Mongols would have come over to take over Kievan Rus as well as purge blacks from Europe. So Europe today would be Mongol.

    So, what is this noble creature to which Western Civ owes its gratitude?

    The Nile Crocodile.

    • Replies: @Jack D
    @Juri B

    It's not just a question of intellect vs running speed but different evolutionary strategies for getting food. One theory is that humans are mostly hairless for better cooling and have the ability to run long distances in the heat (dogs/wolves can run further but only in a cold climate, horses and cheetahs actually can't run at full speed for very long distances - there are plenty of animals that can sprint faster but are hardly any animals that can beat a human in a marathon) as a hunting strategy. This sounds like a stupid strategy but making a living out on the savannah was tough. What if you picked a gazelle and chased it for 26 miles? At first the gazelle is going to have a big lead on you but if you keep chasing it, at some point the gazelle is going to overheat and you can catch it and kill it.

  83. there’s still the larger biology physics question about why muscle fiber types vary so much around the world and why wouldn’t humans keep 2B fibers no matter where they migrated to and why they dumped 2B fibers to such an extent after leaving west africa. probably some fiber metabolism and cheap calories reason in a zero tech environment. like brain size and glucose demands.

    2Bs are super useful so it must be an economy thing. muscles couldn’t get the continuous supply of glucose for ATP creation that they need so they start relying on ketosis and 1 fibers with 2A fibers for emergency backup.

    even today we are slaves to what the body needed to do 50,000 years ago. it quickly starts shedding fitness level and muscle tone as soon as you take 1 month off exercising. the body HATES holding onto exercise induced improvements and immediately starts trying to slack off down to a sedentary metabolism in expectation of no more cheap calories and possible starvation. it drops muscle first – the thing it hates the most because it’s the most expensive thing to hold onto. drops capillary penetration and vascular system function second. stacks calories into adipose tissue third.

    bodies hate muscle is the takeaway. they’ll trade away everything to keep servicing the brain with glucose, but muscle is what you need for sports, in different fiber ratios, and in different upper body lower body splits. also, a lot of improvement in sports after 2000 mostly boils down to getting better and better at forcing more and more muscle onto the body. everybody in every sport today is much stronger than in even the 90s.

Certainly the burning meat smelled delicious - but it was for God alone, not people. After the Flood, God permitted consumption of animal flesh, and He never rescinded this permit.

    It is difficult to build muscle on a vegetarian diet - you have to consume LOTS of eggs, which becomes monotonous 🤮 - and it is impossible on a vegan diet.

    Right because once you lose consciousness you can no longer take in even water and the hyenas and the vultures are gonna come eat you shortly. Your muscle tissue can pretty much waste away and then one you get food again it will come back gradually but if you lose brain tissue then it's going to impact your future survival. We live in an environment of year round food but early man must have gone thru many feast/famine cycles and would have been adapted toward making it thru famines alive somehow. It's like when the boat is sinking first you throw away the luggage first and you throw the motor overboard last. Thru evolution the body must know what it is doing in terms of what is the best thing to throw overboard first.

    Blacks are doing their black thing, but i've actually been pleasantly surprised by "team white" in the track stuff.

    (I didn't even know they had a mixed 4x4 until last week. My youngest two were both on their HS 4x4 squads, but both squads were one team and a second or so out of the money at the district meet from making it to the WA state meet. A mixed team event would have been really cool, fun.)

    In the 800 prelims--which was my daughters' best event--I noticed that each heat had some British girl--blond and actually British. And one of them--again whom my daughter knew about--was smoking fast and won her heat.

    In the 1500, the US had some weirdo African in there, but also two white guys who looked so "flyover" you could imagine their great-great-grandfathers behind a horse busting sod. And they both made the final. And the favorites seemed to be not some Kenyans but some actually British guy and some actually Norwegian guy (unfortunately tatted up).

    there's still the larger biology physics question about why muscle fiber types vary so much around the world and why wouldn't humans keep 2B fibers no matter where they migrated to and why they dumped 2B fibers to such an extent after leaving west africa. probably some fiber metabolism and cheap calories reason in a zero tech environment. like brain size and glucose demands.

    2Bs are super useful so it must be an economy thing. muscles couldn't get the continuous supply of glucose for ATP creation that they need so they start relying on ketosis and 1 fibers with 2A fibers for emergency backup.

    even today we are slaves to what the body needed to do 50,000 years ago. it quickly starts shedding fitness level and muscle tone as soon as you take 1 month off exercising. the body HATES holding onto exercise induced improvements and immediately starts trying to slack off down to a sedentary metabolism in expectation of no more cheap calories and possible starvation. it drops muscle first - the thing it hates the most because it's the most expensive thing to hold onto. drops capillary penetration and vascular system function second. stacks calories into adipose tissue third.

    bodies hate muscle is the takeaway. they'll trade away everything to keep servicing the brain with glucose, but muscle is what you need for sports, in different fiber ratios, and in different upper body lower body splits. also, a lot of improvement in sports after 2000 mostly boils down to getting better and better at forcing more and more muscle onto the body. everybody in every sport today is much stronger than in even the 90s.

    “bodies hate muscle is the takeaway.”

    At first God permitted humans a vegetarian diet and, after exile from Eden, animals were killed only for sacrifices to God, a sweet savor to our Lord. Certainly the burning meat smelled delicious – but it was for God alone, not people. After the Flood, God permitted consumption of animal flesh, and He never rescinded this permit.

    It is difficult to build muscle on a vegetarian diet – you have to consume LOTS of eggs, which becomes monotonous 🤮 – and it is impossible on a vegan diet. God seems to prefer His people stay rather slender – yet heavy musculature looks good on men. So, I don’t know…… Ima lift til I caint lift no mo💪

    Old man Trump’s tenant base in Brooklyn was heavily Jewish. Trump, Sr. was 100% German but he used to tell his tenants that they were Swedish. This was a believable lie because old South Brooklyn had a Scandinavian community. At least more believable than Liz Warren claiming to be an Indian.

    Donald himself repeated the “Swedish” lie in “The Art of the Deal”. Kids will often accept what their parents tell them without questioning them much (most light skinned blacks think that their unknown daddy /ancestor was a Cherokee and not a white guy ’cause that’s what their momma told them) so I don’t know to what extent Donald knew that this was a lie. Donald probably didn’t much care if he was Swedish or German so if his daddy said Swedish that was good enough for him and he wasn’t going to embark on a genealogical search – he had better things to do with his time. What he was was mainly American. The classic forward looking American self made man (with a little help from daddy) for whom the past is irrelevant. But possibly he knew. Anyway Donald was not above telling a fib or two to make a deal so if those Casino Indians fakers then it takes one to know one.

    Right because once you lose consciousness you can no longer take in even water and the hyenas and the vultures are gonna come eat you shortly. Your muscle tissue can pretty much waste away and then one you get food again it will come back gradually but if you lose brain tissue then it’s going to impact your future survival. We live in an environment of year round food but early man must have gone thru many feast/famine cycles and would have been adapted toward making it thru famines alive somehow. It’s like when the boat is sinking first you throw away the luggage first and you throw the motor overboard last. Thru evolution the body must know what it is doing in terms of what is the best thing to throw overboard first.

    Trump already had 4 years in office and did nothing to solve the problems of the southern border. He promised a wall that would be paid for by Mexico. He delivered no such thing and there was never a deal with Mexico or even negotiations.

    In any case, although Hadrian's Wall, the Great Wall of China, the Iron Curtain through Germany, etc. all had their supporters, in the long run the Ming couldn't stop the Mongols or the Manchu making an end run around the wall, and the Great Wall of Mexico would be ineffective against tunnels, speedboats, or aircraft.

    Intellect has been the driving force in human evolution, not merely the ability to run fast or jump high, just as it has for all other species with at least rudimentary cognitive capacity.

    Replies: @Jack D

    It’s not just a question of intellect vs running speed but different evolutionary strategies for getting food. One theory is that humans are mostly hairless for better cooling and have the ability to run long distances in the heat (dogs/wolves can run further but only in a cold climate, horses and cheetahs actually can’t run at full speed for very long distances – there are plenty of animals that can sprint faster but are hardly any animals that can beat a human in a marathon) as a hunting strategy. This sounds like a stupid strategy but making a living out on the savannah was tough. What if you picked a gazelle and chased it for 26 miles? At first the gazelle is going to have a big lead on you but if you keep chasing it, at some point the gazelle is going to overheat and you can catch it and kill it.

    Been watching some Olympics with AnotherDaughter and seen ads for Kamala Harris. The one I recall basically had two messages--
    1) Kamala is for working people--actual snippet of some guy in a combine--doing well.
    2) Kamala is for abortion rights, nationwide.

    The 2nd is clearly true, though not sure what she thinks she is going to do without replacing the Supreme Court with one that reads that right back into the Constitution.

    The 1st of these is a lie--and an obnoxious one. She is not the candidate of the 1950s Democratic Party. She's a candidate of the Parasite Party--run by and for the WaWa (Washington and Wall Street) looters, with vote banks of blacks, immigrants, the "girls with BAs" in bureaucratic jobs, other "right thinking" good whites and various fringy misfits.


    Trump really needs to attack and debunk this first claim by making ads--and his stump message--that the "Biden Administration"'s treasonous open border is nothing but an attack upon the jobs, wages, housing, schools, taxes, communities of Americans. an attack upon "affordable family formation" and attack upon the "American Dream".

    Heck, I'd use the front part of Harris's ad, show the chaos of the immivaders--in fairness the "Biden Administration" invited them--swarming across then have words print and voice over
    -- lost jobs
    -- lower wages
    -- unaffordable rents and houses
    -- declining, crowded schools
    -- higher taxes
    -- balkanized communities
    have the narrator talk about destruction of "affordable family formation" and
    -- destruction of the "American Dream"
    for America's young people show a depressed couple unable to buy a house
    -- treason (flashes on screen)

    then have Trump appear and actually be coherent and thoughtful
    "I will do #1 job our Constitution specifies for the President. I will stop the invasion and secure the borders of the United States. I will fight to preserve the American Dream for our young Americans" with a picture of a young couple, the wife pregnant getting a home. (You can have various couple to make it suitable multi-racial.)

    Kamala is going to have a shit ton of money--from Biden's campaign funds and more to come from the Democrat's Wall Street money guys who gave us Biden--to try and normalize herself with ads.

    Trump needs to make this election all about immigration and the border tied to the destruction of the American Dream--especially for our young people. Americans vs. the Parasite Party looters. Trump does that ... he wins. If it's all about Trump ... he loses.

    People with WN inclinations should give far more reverence and gratitude to the one creature that kept blacks on the other side of the Sahara.

    If not for this one species, blacks would have migrated northward on the Nile, spread along the far more hospitable Mediterranean coast of Africa by 2000 BC, and since the M. Sea has weak tides and short distances between land, blacks would have migrated across the Levant and Turkey to the European coast, and taken over the good-weather land in what is now Spain, Southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, etc. by no later than 1400 BC. Even if Blacks chose not to go further north than Central France due to cold winters, their presence in Southern Europe from 1400 BC onwards would have precluded the formation of Greek and Roman societies. This would have prevented Western Civ outright, since Northern Europe might not have advanced without Greece and Rome having existed for a long time first. The Vikings, Goths, and Kievan Rus might have been the high points of white society, after which the Mongols would have come over to take over Kievan Rus as well as purge blacks from Europe. So Europe today would be Mongol.

    So, what is this noble creature to which Western Civ owes its gratitude?

    The Nile Crocodile.

    See the range of the Nile Crocodile (per Wikipedia) :
    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/The_range_of_the_Nile_Crocodile.png

    It clearly kept blacks bottled up in Sub-Saharan Africa by preventing them from migrating up the Nile. It is a large, aggressive, and dangerous creature that happily eats humans.

    WN types need to express more gratitude to the Nile Crocodile. Fortunately, one of the last of the classical National Geographic wildlife specials from 1995 was titled ‘Last Feast of the Crocodiles’. It is very good, and features the legendary NatGeo theme music with trumpets and drums in their full glory :

    https://youtu.be/u6ufEnacPqw

    Lest you think the Nile Crocodile is just a counterpart to our own American Alligators, this video reveals how much larger the Nile Crocodile is :
    https://youtu.be/fRDSh01lrLg

    Hence, WN beliefs require veneration of the Nile Crocodile, and the NatGeo special should be seen as religious material for WN wiggers.

    Steve’s coverage of Covid was influenced by him being up in his sixties. For people in that age range like him and me it was a potentially dangerous disease.

    I realized early on, though, that it was a disease where there was a huge variance in the death rates between young and old. The focus should have been put on sheltering the very old, especially in nursing homes, and getting anyone over 65 vaccinated once the vaccines became available. Everyone else should have been allowed to live their normal lives. The lockdowns and push for mass vaccinations did more harm than good.

    There has been a recent fad of house parties among young people. The musical artist most identified with this, Charli XCX, has had a string of recent hits and has the number one trending music video on YouTube right now. Supposedly all this is related to the fact that young people realize they were cheated out of having a normal social life for a couple of years during the lockdowns and are now trying to make up for it.

    Maybe she's blaming someone else for all that, and also for those "vaccines that saved us for COVID" that you yourself didn't bother with, so that COVID landed you in a hospital. Maybe she's blaming this guy for all that:


    Trump: “‘The Pandemic no longer controls our lives. The Vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat Cancer – Turning setback into comeback!’ YOU’RE WELCOME, JOE, NINE MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU!”
     
    Or maybe for all her brat-ness, she's nonetheless adult enough (unlike some geriatric wannabes who are so desperate for affirmation and relevance that they think referencing Charli XCX will help them make an argument that isn't just a bag of wind) to know that the real victims of pandemics were the ones who unlike you never made it out of their hospital beds and don't have the opportunity you did to whine ever afterwards about what was done to them, like the pathetic and whiny little brat you ever were and always will be.

    Steve's coverage of Covid was influenced by him being up in his sixties. For people in that age range like him and me it was a potentially dangerous disease.

    I realized early on, though, that it was a disease where there was a huge variance in the death rates between young and old. The focus should have been put on sheltering the very old, especially in nursing homes, and getting anyone over 65 vaccinated once the vaccines became available. Everyone else should have been allowed to live their normal lives. The lockdowns and push for mass vaccinations did more harm than good.

    There has been a recent fad of house parties among young people. The musical artist most identified with this, Charli XCX, has had a string of recent hits and has the number one trending music video on YouTube right now. Supposedly all this is related to the fact that young people realize they were cheated out of having a normal social life for a couple of years during the lockdowns and are now trying to make up for it. It is a shame what was done to them.

    Maybe she’s blaming someone else for all that, and also for those “vaccines that saved us for COVID” that you yourself didn’t bother with, so that COVID landed you in a hospital. Maybe she’s blaming this guy for all that:

    Trump: “‘The Pandemic no longer controls our lives. The Vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat Cancer – Turning setback into comeback!’ YOU’RE WELCOME, JOE, NINE MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU!”

    Or maybe for all her brat-ness, she’s nonetheless adult enough (unlike some geriatric wannabes who are so desperate for affirmation and relevance that they think referencing Charli XCX will help them make an argument that isn’t just a bag of wind) to know that the real victims of pandemics were the ones who unlike you never made it out of their hospital beds and don’t have the opportunity you did to whine ever afterwards about what was done to them, like the pathetic and whiny little brat you ever were and always will be.

    Biden spent over a year promoting the Covid vaccines until the disease mutated into a less harmful variant and people became more aware the vaccines were less effective than originally promised and had bad side effects, causing demand for them to plummet.

    Biden then switched over and started promoting an ill advised U.S. proxy war with Russia in the Ukraine. He also started taking swipes at Trump, as Trump pulled ahead of him in polling for the 2024 election.

    It didn’t take long after his arrival here at TUR to see that Mr. Sailer isn’t so much a dissident as a copium denmother for disaffected white guys who skew 40+ in age. In practically all other respects — and, thus, effectively in that one — he narrates or stands silent on behalf of the Establishment.

    This was obscured by the first few years of padding the HBD posts with sportsball, Hollywood, and pop music culture (anchored in his youth), which resonated with many of the target audience. When he got serious about the COVID dempanic and Ukraine warball commentary and adopted pets like Jack D, though, more than a few of the fellows noticed. And now, maybe so has he. Isn’t this

    the greatest Judoka of all time

    Teddy Riner might be one of the winningest Judoka of all time, but he is not the greatest. He benefits from being 6’8″ and 300+ lbs. Every single opponent he fights is smaller than he (he fights 100 kg+ division which has no weight limit).

    The best Judoka of recent years has been Shohei Ono, who fought in the most competitive division in men’s judo – U73 kg. This is an opinion shared by many, likely most, high level Judoka, including Jimmy Pedro and Travis Stevens (the former is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist and world champion as well as coach to Kayla Harrison, Ronda Rousey, Marti Malloy, and Travis Stevens, all Olympic medalists).

    you should send your sons to Paris for a rather costly, yet valuable, seminar…

    The French style of Judo is widely reviled for being “negative Judo.” It relies extensively on defensive gripping to forestall attacks and gamesmanship to induce shido (penalty) on the opponents. The French are not known for being the best throwers. The Japanese are without peer in throws like Uchi Mata and Sode Tsurikomi Goshi. The Koreans are the best at Seoi Nage and Tai Otoshi. The Georgians and the Mongolians excel in “body Judo” (big pickups and suplex-type throws).

    So far, the US has won 19 gold medals.

    Here are the racial backgrounds of those gold medalists, with team events getting credit for 1 gold medal and the racial backgrounds of those participants averaged as a proportion of 1. We are valuing each gold medal won for the USA equally here. Mixed-race athletes are included in proportion to their mix (i.e. their parents' races). This is in the four broad racial/ethnic categories that Americans would naturally see as different.

    White - 71.4%
    Black - 18.6%
    Hispanic - 1.1%
    Asian - 8.9%

    Blacks and black sports are notoriously overrepresented by coverage. We see that one gymnast non-stop but little is noted about America's men's four rowing team (all-white) or its elite skeet shooter (a 35- year-old white Christian with a wife and two kids living in Fort Worth) who took home golds. With track and field heating up and both basketball teams still to finish, there are some more sports which can help the black contingent close the gap, but by-and-large the United States Olympic team has been carried by whites.

    Like it or not, Japan’s internationalization is happening. There are fewer Japanese and more foreigners than ever.

    Japan’s population shrank for the 15th year in a row as the country continues to grapple with a chronically low birth rate, an annual report released Wednesday by the ministry of internal affairs shows.

    The number of ethinic Japanese fell by 861,000 (0.7%) from a year before — marking its steepest decline ever — to 121,561,801. However, the number of foreign residents rose by 329,535 (11.01%) from last year to 3,323,374, hitting a record high.

    That can only grow. Even if the foreign population numerically stayed the same as it is now, its percentage of the total population will still rise due to Japan’s below-replacement birthrates. But the NJ population will not stay the same—the economics of Japan’s aging labor force is reaching the point where officials see the writing on the wall. According to a recent Kyodo News survey, a whopping 86% of Japan’s municipalities want more NJ workers to do the jobs and save their senescent cities from extinction.

    All of these figures do not, of course, include all the multicultural and multiethnic children already in Japan with diverse identities and backgrounds. They are deliberately ignored because Japan’s census does not inquire about ethnicity. So, if anything, Japan’s internationalization is grossly underestimated.

    Been watching some Olympics with AnotherDaughter and seen ads for Kamala Harris. The one I recall basically had two messages--
    1) Kamala is for working people--actual snippet of some guy in a combine--doing well.
    2) Kamala is for abortion rights, nationwide.

    The 2nd is clearly true, though not sure what she thinks she is going to do without replacing the Supreme Court with one that reads that right back into the Constitution.

    The 1st of these is a lie--and an obnoxious one. She is not the candidate of the 1950s Democratic Party. She's a candidate of the Parasite Party--run by and for the WaWa (Washington and Wall Street) looters, with vote banks of blacks, immigrants, the "girls with BAs" in bureaucratic jobs, other "right thinking" good whites and various fringy misfits.


    Trump really needs to attack and debunk this first claim by making ads--and his stump message--that the "Biden Administration"'s treasonous open border is nothing but an attack upon the jobs, wages, housing, schools, taxes, communities of Americans. an attack upon "affordable family formation" and attack upon the "American Dream".

    Heck, I'd use the front part of Harris's ad, show the chaos of the immivaders--in fairness the "Biden Administration" invited them--swarming across then have words print and voice over
    -- lost jobs
    -- lower wages
    -- unaffordable rents and houses
    -- declining, crowded schools
    -- higher taxes
    -- balkanized communities
    have the narrator talk about destruction of "affordable family formation" and
    -- destruction of the "American Dream"
    for America's young people show a depressed couple unable to buy a house
    -- treason (flashes on screen)

    then have Trump appear and actually be coherent and thoughtful
    "I will do #1 job our Constitution specifies for the President. I will stop the invasion and secure the borders of the United States. I will fight to preserve the American Dream for our young Americans" with a picture of a young couple, the wife pregnant getting a home. (You can have various couple to make it suitable multi-racial.)

    Kamala is going to have a shit ton of money--from Biden's campaign funds and more to come from the Democrat's Wall Street money guys who gave us Biden--to try and normalize herself with ads.

    Trump needs to make this election all about immigration and the border tied to the destruction of the American Dream--especially for our young people. Americans vs. the Parasite Party looters. Trump does that ... he wins. If it's all about Trump ... he loses.

    I am sensing political wind is blowing differently from 2016 and 2020. It feels like 2008 enthusiasm. Many people may have an intense desire to press reset button and start clean. That is how a relatively unknown candidate was elected in 1976 (Carter) and 2008 (Obama). It was not a vote for the candidate as much as a desire to break from the past.
     
    Great observation pebble.

    (It's why I would have preferred a different--and more disciplined--nationalist candidate. But Trump's who've got.)

    Trump--his campaign--needs to understand that. Every word out of his mouth should serve to tie "Border Tsar Kamala Harris" to the "Biden Administration"'s border treason. This is in fact accurate. She is backed by the same Jewish money guys and will likely hold over several of the Jews who have been giving us this genocidal attack upon Americans, just bringing in a few more blacks and women from her own cabal and press the anti-white stuff even harder. She is in no sense anything "new" ... much, much less anything "better".

    Trump needs to both make that clear and present himself as the guy who will clean house--like Hercules and the Augean stables--pull the parasites off and give Americans opportunity.

    Trump already had 4 years in office and did nothing to solve the problems of the southern border. He promised a wall that would be paid for by Mexico. He delivered no such thing and there was never a deal with Mexico or even negotiations.

    In any case, although Hadrian’s Wall, the Great Wall of China, the Iron Curtain through Germany, etc. all had their supporters, in the long run the Ming couldn’t stop the Mongols or the Manchu making an end run around the wall, and the Great Wall of Mexico would be ineffective against tunnels, speedboats, or aircraft.

    Like it or not, Japan’s internationalization is happening. There are fewer Japanese and more foreigners than ever.

    Japan’s population shrank for the 15th year in a row as the country continues to grapple with a chronically low birth rate, an annual report released Wednesday by the ministry of internal affairs shows.

    The number of ethinic Japanese fell by 861,000 (0.7%) from a year before — marking its steepest decline ever — to 121,561,801. However, the number of foreign residents rose by 329,535 (11.01%) from last year to 3,323,374, hitting a record high.

    That can only grow. Even if the foreign population numerically stayed the same as it is now, its percentage of the total population will still rise due to Japan’s below-replacement birthrates. But the NJ population will not stay the same—the economics of Japan’s aging labor force is reaching the point where officials see the writing on the wall. According to a recent Kyodo News survey, a whopping 86% of Japan’s municipalities want more NJ workers to do the jobs and save their senescent cities from extinction.

    All of these figures do not, of course, include all the multicultural and multiethnic children already in Japan with diverse identities and backgrounds. They are deliberately ignored because Japan’s census does not inquire about ethnicity. So, if anything, Japan’s internationalization is grossly underestimated.

    Yukio Mishima, a must watch.

    track & field, the sport where only blacks can do any event or make the national team, 3 out of 3 black guys on the roster in lots of events for 50 years, then they show up to the Olympics and get beat by some random white guy from a small country.

    at this point i’m sure lots of young guys just say screw it, i’m not even gonna try, being aware by this point that the entire US sports apparatus has been turned in an african training and promotion program and pale persons are not welcome.

    we’re in a weird place, somewhat reflective of the decline of the entire empire, that he’s the best pale person at the 100, 200, 400, and long jump all at the same time, since so many other guys have simply opted out of the system by now that we’ve reached the point of having no prospects or recruits in the pipeline to develop at all.

    the greatest Judoka of all time
     
    Teddy Riner might be one of the winningest Judoka of all time, but he is not the greatest. He benefits from being 6'8" and 300+ lbs. Every single opponent he fights is smaller than he (he fights 100 kg+ division which has no weight limit).

    The best Judoka of recent years has been Shohei Ono, who fought in the most competitive division in men's judo - U73 kg. This is an opinion shared by many, likely most, high level Judoka, including Jimmy Pedro and Travis Stevens (the former is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist and world champion as well as coach to Kayla Harrison, Ronda Rousey, Marti Malloy, and Travis Stevens, all Olympic medalists).

    The French style of Judo is widely reviled for being "negative Judo." It relies extensively on defensive gripping to forestall attacks and gamesmanship to induce shido (penalty) on the opponents. The French are not known for being the best throwers. The Japanese are without peer in throws like Uchi Mata and Sode Tsurikomi Goshi. The Koreans are the best at Seoi Nage and Tai Otoshi. The Georgians and the Mongolians excel in "body Judo" (big pickups and suplex-type throws).

    2) mind boggling how the second 400 runner from the US on that mixed relay team could be so far out of the legal zone in prelims that she was confused about what was happening and officials had to tell her where to stand. she was about 1 second away from getting the team disqualified. what on earth. been watching track & field since the early 80s. never seen anything like that. seen a lot of that kind of thing in NFL games where the intelligence difference among the players is obvious, but what in the world. how do you get it that wrong. US not practicing the relays again? another baton drop coming up for the 100 relays?

    3) biggest, loudest crowds ever, in every sport. US political banter is that the Paris games are an utter catastrophe – maybe in certain ways – but not in the arenas so far. highest attendance, loudest, most crazy crowds i’ve ever seen, in every venue. an overwhelming success in sports terms. some great performances too. a big improvement over every Olympics…ever?

    The sharp rise in the JPY/USD is causing a massive unwind of Yen carry trade positions and contributing to the sharp decline in US stocks. For those who do not understand how this works, a brief explanation

    1) Many traders were borrowing Jap Yen (JPY) at low interest rates, converted them to USD and used this to buy US stocks

    2) Now that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is raising interest rates, the JPY has strengthened significantly against the USD.

    Now, these traders are in big shit. Not only must they pay higher interest for the JPY they borrowed, they are now facing huge forex losses as well. The USD assets they are holding may not be enough to repay the JPY they have borrowed.

    3) This is causing a huge unwind of these trade positions. Traders facing big losses and margin calls are selling their US stocks to raise USD, converting back to JPY and paying back their loans.

    4) This can lead to more selling pressure on US stocks and even more declines in the short term. Middle east war escalation, US political uncertainty is also adding to the fear and panic.

    Japanese economic policy is turning the island into a museum. The collapsing yen means its too expensive for Japanese to travel abroad, while making it a cheap tourism hotspot. The Greeceification of Japan.

    Soon the 1868-1998 period (Meiji, Taisho, and Showa) will be seen as a 130 year anomaly as Japan sinks back in to irrelevance. So Japan’s gdp is shrinking and the yen is devaluing at the same time. This would mean their economy is shrinking quickly.

    A thought: What is the difference between black and white and Asian Olympic 100m runners in terms of standard deviation? Knowing that blacks average one standard deviation below whites in IQ gives you information that you don’t get from simply knowing that they average 15 points less. Likewise it would be informative to know whether white Olympic runners are 1 SD slower than West African derived blacks, or .1 SD slower, or what. You’d have to think about how to do this: how many Olympics to include in the analysis; what groupings to use; should you include just the top N runners from each group to weed out outliers from loser nations; are you even looking at bell curves here? Things like that. But it would be worth knowing.

    You'd need to look at a broader population than Olympic runners, such as high school state track meet finalists.

    The US is limited to 3 entrants in the Olympic men's 100 meter, and they've been all black, so far as I can recall, probably since Christian McCaffrey's grandfather won the silver medal in 1960.

    That means the three American black entrants are a lot faster than, say, Estonia's one white entrant.

    But the 400 finalists in American state track meets are a fine sample size, and I encourage anybody with a couple of days to devote to tracking down pictures of all 400 to go for it. Then read up on La Griffe du Lion's methodologies, and do the analysis.

    People with WN inclinations should give far more reverence and gratitude to the one creature that kept blacks on the other side of the Sahara.

    If not for this one species, blacks would have migrated northward on the Nile, spread along the far more hospitable Mediterranean coast of Africa by 2000 BC, and since the M. Sea has weak tides and short distances between land, blacks would have migrated across the Levant and Turkey to the European coast, and taken over the good-weather land in what is now Spain, Southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, etc. by no later than 1400 BC. Even if Blacks chose not to go further north than Central France due to cold winters, their presence in Southern Europe from 1400 BC onwards would have precluded the formation of Greek and Roman societies. This would have prevented Western Civ outright, since Northern Europe might not have advanced without Greece and Rome having existed for a long time first. The Vikings, Goths, and Kievan Rus might have been the high points of white society, after which the Mongols would have come over to take over Kievan Rus as well as purge blacks from Europe. So Europe today would be Mongol.

    So, what is this noble creature to which Western Civ owes its gratitude?

    The Nile Crocodile.

    See the range of the Nile Crocodile (per Wikipedia) :
    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/The_range_of_the_Nile_Crocodile.png

    It clearly kept blacks bottled up in Sub-Saharan Africa by preventing them from migrating up the Nile. It is a large, aggressive, and dangerous creature that happily eats humans.

    WN types need to express more gratitude to the Nile Crocodile. Fortunately, one of the last of the classical National Geographic wildlife specials from 1995 was titled ‘Last Feast of the Crocodiles’. It is very good, and features the legendary NatGeo theme music with trumpets and drums in their full glory :

    https://youtu.be/u6ufEnacPqw

    Lest you think the Nile Crocodile is just a counterpart to our own American Alligators, this video reveals how much larger the Nile Crocodile is :
    https://youtu.be/fRDSh01lrLg

    Hence, WN beliefs require veneration of the Nile Crocodile, and the NatGeo special should be seen as religious material for WN wiggers.

    Now certainly, weight classes were created for a reason, but if Teddy Riner was a 6-8 slow slug, it would be of no benefit to him.

    Oleksander Usyk is 220 lbs. and he has defeated Derick Chisora, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury who are all 25-40 lbs. heaver than he is. And this is in a COMBAT sport.

    Why? Well, for a lot of reasons, but probably chiefly that he didn't spend all of his time bellyaching about size advantages.

    Teddy Riner is a transcendent athlete who is able to utilize his god given size to his advantage. That's why he's the most rewarded (and arguably the best) judoka ever.

    A thought: What is the difference between black and white and Asian Olympic 100m runners in terms of standard deviation? Knowing that blacks average one standard deviation below whites in IQ gives you information that you don't get from simply knowing that they average 15 points less. Likewise it would be informative to know whether white Olympic runners are 1 SD slower than West African derived blacks, or .1 SD slower, or what. You'd have to think about how to do this: how many Olympics to include in the analysis; what groupings to use; should you include just the top N runners from each group to weed out outliers from loser nations; are you even looking at bell curves here? Things like that. But it would be worth knowing.

    You’d need to look at a broader population than Olympic runners, such as high school state track meet finalists.

    The US is limited to 3 entrants in the Olympic men’s 100 meter, and they’ve been all black, so far as I can recall, probably since Christian McCaffrey’s grandfather won the silver medal in 1960.

    That means the three American black entrants are a lot faster than, say, Estonia’s one white entrant.

    But the 400 finalists in American state track meets are a fine sample size, and I encourage anybody with a couple of days to devote to tracking down pictures of all 400 to go for it. Then read up on La Griffe du Lion’s methodologies, and do the analysis.

    The Russian economy has overtaken Japan to become the fourth largest in the world, according to revised data from the World Bank released at the start of June.

    The World Bank has improved Russia’s ranking after revising its data and says that Russia actually overtook Japan in 2021 and has maintained its position at number four since then. Its previous calculations were based on 2017 data but these have now been updated to reflect the 2021 figures.

    Last August, the World Bank released its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) data for global economies as of 2021. Simply put, it compared the economic output of different economies in the form of the goods and services they produced, while also considering their standards of living. And it found out that Russia overtook Germany to become the fifth largest economy.

    A few weeks ago though, it revised that report. It said that its last report was based on obsolete data. And this fresh data shows how Russia actually overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth largest economy in terms of GDP in 2021, while also managing to stay on number four ever since.

    Abdul Hakim and Hachimura, both of whom have one foreign parent and one Japanese parent, were cheered warmly by many even as some Wajin pounded them online for not being "pure Japanese."

    Osaka signed with Panasonic and Hachimura, a Washington Wizards forward, appears in ads for a Taisho Pharmaceutical energy drink and for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.

    The sharp rise in the JPY/USD is causing a massive unwind of Yen carry trade positions and contributing to the sharp decline in US stocks. For those who do not understand how this works, a brief explanation

    1) Many traders were borrowing Jap Yen (JPY) at low interest rates, converted them to USD and used this to buy US stocks

    2) Now that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is raising interest rates, the JPY has strengthened significantly against the USD.

    Now, these traders are in big shit. Not only must they pay higher interest for the JPY they borrowed, they are now facing huge forex losses as well. The USD assets they are holding may not be enough to repay the JPY they have borrowed.

    3) This is causing a huge unwind of these trade positions. Traders facing big losses and margin calls are selling their US stocks to raise USD, converting back to JPY and paying back their loans.

    4) This can lead to more selling pressure on US stocks and even more declines in the short term. Middle east war escalation, US political uncertainty is also adding to the fear and panic.

    Japanese economic policy is turning the island into a museum. The collapsing yen means its too expensive for Japanese to travel abroad, while making it a cheap tourism hotspot. The Greeceification of Japan.

    Soon the 1868-1998 period (Meiji, Taisho, and Showa) will be seen as a 130 year anomaly as Japan sinks back in to irrelevance. So Japan’s gdp is shrinking and the yen is devaluing at the same time. This would mean their economy is shrinking quickly.

    Did you know Argentina used to be one of the world’s richest countries in the 1910s? Most people don’t.

    Utilizing skill and energy transfer against superior opponents is… kind of the whole point of judo, isn’t it?
     
    That's a perfect affirmative action sentiment - everyone else should fight a bigger opponent (me) to prove his skills, but I get to fight only smaller opponents. And then if I win thusly, I am the greatest!

    Combat sports have weight classes and sex-segregated matches for good reasons.

    This is not to say that you cannot overcome size with skill, but in that scenario (often found in real life conflicts), the skill disparity has to be large, something that doesn't happen much, if at all, in elite athletic contests.

    Oleksander Usyk is 220 lbs. and he has defeated Derick Chisora, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury who are all 25-40 lbs. heaver than he is. And this is in a COMBAT sport.

    Sports differ greatly by number of medal chances offered. There are 32 sports and 329 events. It's no accident that the top three Americans, Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, and Jenny Thompson, are all swimmers.

    Ten of the top eleven all-time medal winners are white. This is not due to a head start for Europeans. Mangiarotti broke Nurmi's record as late as 1960, so every other name on this list is from after that, when the whole world would have been represented. Or at least every major race. (Subcontinentals excepted. When will cricket and polo be included?)

    It also helps if a sport is less taxing, and one can compete in three or four Olympiads.

    Sprinters can race in the 100m, 200m, 400m, 4×100, 4×400, and even the new 4×400 mixed now. That’s a potential of 6 medals in one games. Not much different from how many events elite swimmers race in.

    Stop making up things I didn't write. I don't play "Babe Ruth would have beaten Hank Aaron" type of speculations, because they are idiotic.

    Yamashita was 5'11" (and about 290 lbs in his prime). Teddy Riner is 6'8" (and 311 lbs).

    In the last ten years or so, the consensus best Judoka has been Shohei Ono, not Teddy Riner. Ono's division - U73 kg - was absolutely stacked with some of the best Judoka of the period and Ono dominated them all.

    As I mentioned before, Riner fought in the least competitive division and always fought those who were considerably smaller than he.


    If a Korean ever wins a Taekwondo medal again, I will give him full credit.*
     
    What a strange thing to write. South Korea won the most gold medals in Tae Kwon Do at the Paris Olympics as did Japan in Judo.

    where a third of the population holds a black belt
     
    Each country is highly limited in the number of athletes it can field for the Olympics in both sports. For example, the 2-time world champion in the men's U66 kg division in Judo, Joshiro Maruyama, didn't get to compete at the Olympics, because Japan could only field ONE athlete per division and the spot went to Hifumi Abe who won gold at the Tokyo Games and again at the Paris Games just now.

    So your opinion is that Yahusiro Yamashita would have beaten Teddy Riner? He was 300 lbs.

    What about Hitoshi Saito? he was about 315 in his prime.

    They are considered, from what I understand, two of the best ever, and they are HEAVYHWEIGHTS.


    He died aged 54 from cholangiocarcinoma, a rare but rapidly progressing and incurable form of liver cancer.[5][6] After his death Saito was promoted by the Kodokan to 9th dan rank in judo and was also awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette by the Japanese Emperor.[7]
     
    Saito was from many generations of Judo, and probably samurai heritage, and his son Tatsuru is an outstanding judoka now. He won an World Championships silver medal, and has of course trained since birth (Riner started as a pre-teen after playing soccer).

    The younger Saito, who is 6'2 300+ lbs., lost early in the competition this year, and has already lost to Riner multiple times.

    So that's it, Old Sport, don't hate, congratulate. If a Korean ever wins a Taekwondo medal again, I will give him full credit.*

    (*Haha, yes I know you guys still OCCASIONALLY medal in your national sport, where a third of the population holds a black belt. I almost had to kick one 130 lb. guy's azz in Kyung Ju 25 years ago... but that's a subject for another post.)

    Stop making up things I didn’t write. I don’t play “Babe Ruth would have beaten Hank Aaron” type of speculations, because they are idiotic.

    Yamashita was 5’11” (and about 290 lbs in his prime). Teddy Riner is 6’8″ (and 311 lbs).

    In the last ten years or so, the consensus best Judoka has been Shohei Ono, not Teddy Riner. Ono’s division – U73 kg – was absolutely stacked with some of the best Judoka of the period and Ono dominated them all.

    As I mentioned before, Riner fought in the least competitive division and always fought those who were considerably smaller than he.

    If a Korean ever wins a Taekwondo medal again, I will give him full credit.*

    What a strange thing to write. South Korea won the most gold medals in Tae Kwon Do at the Paris Olympics as did Japan in Judo.

    where a third of the population holds a black belt

    Each country is highly limited in the number of athletes it can field for the Olympics in both sports. For example, the 2-time world champion in the men’s U66 kg division in Judo, Joshiro Maruyama, didn’t get to compete at the Olympics, because Japan could only field ONE athlete per division and the spot went to Hifumi Abe who won gold at the Tokyo Games and again at the Paris Games just now.

    So you're an advocate for height classes now?

    Dude, you're a genius, I am deferring to your wisdom, here is a documentary on Yamashita vs Saito. And Yamashita wasn't really that long ago, in your EXPERT opinion, who was better?

    A guy who trained with Yamashita says he would have beaten Riner.

    You left out subcon Indians.
     
    They do terribly in many (most?) sports. Indians tend to have "skinny fat" bodies and exceedingly high rates of heart problems. Part of it is environmental, lifestyle and dietary, but there is a genetic component as well.

    None of that is good for athletics.

    Replies: @Torna atrás

    Just checked the medal table and saw India didn’t win a gold medal. I guess their favourite sport of ‘boasting’ isn’t an Olympic sport. 1.4 billion people, top 5 economy and can’t win one single gold medal. It’s just embarrassing.

    If they get a bunch of Africans, they can win as many gold medals as they want. The question is, what is the use? I see many 'medalists' who don't bear any relation to the country they are representing anyway. This medal hunt is as meaningless as a company stock is high or low.

    e.g.
    Gold is taken by Fredrick Leonardo for Men Speed Climbing for Indonesia
    Gregoria Mariska Tunjung wins women's singles bronze in badminton for Indonesia

    You do realize that 5’11” and 290 lbs and 6’8” 311 lbs have physique differences, right?

    There is a reason why the heaviest (no weight limit) weight classes in Judo for both men and women are the least athletic and competitive of the divisions. They are filled with extremely blubbery looking “whales” who clearly move the worst of all the competitive Judoka across the weight classes.

    Yamashita was one of the greats, to be sure, having gone undefeated in 200+ matches and never having lost to a non-Japanese player ever. But he fought in a different period with very different rulesets than Teddy Riner, so comparisons are not just difficult, they are useless.

    That said, if we ignored all the competition rulesets, and just made them hold standard grips on each other and saw who threw whom, I’d speculate that it’d likely be Yamashita throwing Riner. As I mentioned before, many French players, and Teddy Riner in particular, rely greatly on “negative Judo” via defensive gripping and playing Shido (penalty) games, something that is occasionally described as “Europeanization of Judo.”

    Never in his life has Riner ever thrown someone like this, despite fighting smaller competitors:

    https://youtu.be/Bpzr53_b4ww?si=L5ILB1SiP2R095ZL

    Shohei Ono has lost only ten matches in his entire (senior) career. I think he lost one match in the last 8-9 years of his career. And something like 65% of his matches were won with Ippon (total victory). He is is far the most dominant Judo athlete of the last ten years or so. Don’t take my word for it, listen to Travis Stevens, the Olympic silver medalist in Judo and one of the best in the world in his day.

    In the last eleven Olympics from 1984 through 2024, men with at least one sub-Saharan parent have earned 87 of the 88 spots in the finals.
     
    “Sub-saharan” may be too broad. How many of the 87 were descended from sub-saharan Africans brought as slaves to the New World!

    Replies: @ScarletNumber, @Inquiring Mind, @Callmelennie

    One way the term Subsaharan is too broad is that it includes East African nations such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan which have never produced a great sprinter, because … they are the best distance runners, especially those from the highlands. They appear to be a minority racial subtype … In Rwanda, they were the Tutsis, and the Hutus were the larger stickier type

    A couple of conclusions could be drawn in a sane world. ALL Black Africans have an advantage as runners, due to proportionally longer legs propelling a proportionally shorter torso. East Africans probably have similar percentage of high twitch fibers as the rest of humanity .. but combine longer legs and superior lung capacity of highland natives ….

    West Africans simply must have an advantage in high twitch fibers in their legs. There are two ways to show this …. The super dominance in sprints by both West Africans and their descendants in the America’s… AND the total disappearance of these people in races over 800 meters. Which is exactly what the theory would predict. If you have a surplus of high twitch, you will have a deficit of the low twitch fibers needed for endurance

    OK, your opinion is that Ono is the best Judoka of all time. I cannot diminish the accomplishments of a man who has medaled in 5 Olympics. But I understand that I took judo for a few months, and you claim to have been doing it for 40 years.

    In any event, your opinion is FAR from universal.

    A random search of "Best Judokas" came up with this list; Riner is rated #7, Ono not at all. And they went all the way back to Mifune, whom I was aware of, in the ratings.
