I gotta ask:

Do you guys think a white guy will EVER win the 100m sprint again? EVER?

Nope. Not a chance. We've been usurped.

Hard to say it will never happen, but I don't expect to see it happen in my lifetime.

Does an albino count? That might be the only way. :lol:

I won't say it will not happen ever again, but I think it is about as unlikely as a white heavy weight boxer winning the championship.

The heavy weight champ is white, or at least some of them are (it's hard to keep track of all the alphabet organizations).
Vlad Klitschko(sp?) is white and he holds at least one belt (or is it Vitaly that holds the belt :lol: )
The division may be week compared to other years, but there are a few strong Eastern European fighters out there.

Really???? I didn't know. I was flipping channels on Monday night and saw some Boxer with 2 belts on his shoulders walking from the ring. Imissed the fight but he was black and was not a small guy. I figured he was the champion but maybe not. Like I said in the other thread. I no longer keep up on Boxing.

Klitschko fights on HBO every now and then. He holds one of the major belts. He's pretty good, but there are no monsters like Ali, Holmes, Lewis and Frazier out there. I think the division is way down.

haven't both of the brothers had a heavyweight belt? They've been in the mix at the top for many years now.

I think you are right. Both are/were prety good, but they won't fight each other. I think it was Vitaly that fought Lenox Lewis shortly before Lewis retired. Vitaly looked to be winning the fight, but it was stopped because Vitaly was bleeding above the eye and Lewis was declared the winner.

That's how I remember it as well. If no one is going to dispute it then I will claim us HW Champions of this thread.

Darwin's theory in it's purest form. Survival of the fittest, those young black men who can run fast enough to stay ahead of the hounds, nooses, and chains survive to pass that gene on to future generations.

White men riding horses, and later pick-em-up trucks pass those genes on to future generations.

Note the white guys success in equestrian, and motor sports. :idea:

Last time I checked she has won exactly 1 race. I always look her up in the next day stat sheet but being all she is the next big thing in racing, not exactly. And last time I checked, IRL only has one or two really big races each year that are watched by millions of people. Nascar on the other hand has that every weekend.

There are several IRL guys who have been around longer who have never won a race at all. In addition, her average finish is well in side the top 10. Not many racers can claim that. I get so sick of guys claiming that she'd never win at all, and that she sucks, when she's better than just about 3/4 of the field.
