If mutations take hold because they are better suited in certain locations, then it suggests that there is some truth to the idea that different races may naturally excel at different things (athletics, etc.), so this just continues the whole debate.....

So you are suggesting that the reason that virtually every top sprinter and basketball player in the world is black is not total coincidence?

You are correct. It would be nice if we could acknowledge that we are the same, yet different in some ways. Unfortunately, we cannot have a rational, serious discussion on any issue involving race in this country.

Several weeks ago Air Force football coach Fisher DeBerry suggested that his team needed more black players to compete athletically with some of their rivals, and an ESPN and LA Times commentator (Bill Plaschke) said that President Bush should fire him. That is the level of debate we are allowed to have. When somebody says something that is blatantly obvious to just about everyone, people want him fired.
