    Why Can't The Average White Man Jump?

    What are the genetic reasons behind this? You get a 6'2 white guy and 95 percent he cannot dunk. You get a 6'2 black guy and it is 50/50, but with the black guy outjumping the white guy almost 90 percent of the time. Why?

    If you have a white kid jumping and playing basketball as a kid until he is older, he too will develop similar abilities.

    But if you have a white kid who plays basketball occasionally and a black guy that does the same, the black guy will jump higher more than the white guy

    genetics.

    in the slave days the biggest most athletic men were forced to have sex and make babies with the tallest strongest women.

    As a result out comes guys like Julius Peppers, Lebron James and Serena Williams.

    What the white man did totally backfired.

    now days white men cant get a job and black people make millions playing sports.
