There have been fast white sprinters.....

for the record.. Morrow's Melbourne 10.5 was run on the slowest 100m surface of any olympics in 56 and into a wind... Morrow was a WR holder. No one but Brutal would favor Golliday (great though he was) over Morrow that year. Morrow was the dominant sprinter in the world that year and he had no equal. A better representation of his dominance was his WR 200 time later in the games in better weather conditions at Melbourne. Again no one was close that year, It would not be until Carl Lewis that an American would win the holy grail of an OLY sprint double.

As for the 10.4 reference of brutal, the electronic timing at Rome was 10.3 on dirt for Hary as well as the past his prime (by the standards of the era) but still fast closing Sime. Comparing their times with an all time great Hayes is unremarkable.. should we view Eddie Tolan as an unathletic troll from an inferior race because he did not measure up to Hayes?.. not.

They were all great sprinters by any standards.... if Brutal's extreme notion of racial differentiation is accepted then it would logically produce a view among coaches and media alike to self enforce this belief system. The belief like a religous belief rather than reflecting reality, begins to shape and domintate it. Soon the belief IS the ONLY reality.

Just another anecdote. Texas HS 110mHH final first and second place both under 14.00, both great athletes and mutieventers... both will be recruited to Univ. of Texas...one as an RB the other as a Punter..... 

there was from the late 60s into the 70s the begining of an era of massive recruitment and encouragement of black athletes. This was much overdue and perhaps it was the begining of a caste system as Don has implied... do kids begin to see themselves in terms of their race in a new way that in the end much too much like the old way. Where blacks were caste out and whites in.

Now we have in brutals thinking the perfectly logical display of a belief systems that so shapes anyones perspective on reality that if honestly held by coaches would certainly lead them to absolutely NOT to recruit whites for certain positions. And it would make perfect sense.. Why would you ever recruit someone to be a CB if they are apriori genetically of an inferior race for that position.. likewise for RB... it is a no brainer...

A coach that so believed would naturally send his recruiters to those areas that had large numbers of black HS's. You would ignore any kids that did not match the right profile. It would make recruiting much easier and your template for you perception of success to require very little change. This would allow you to have a framework for recruiting that was much easier to implement. Send your recruiters to the same places year afeter year to get the same perceived type of talent that you are now used to using.

Brutal, it is exactly your extreme view of racial typing that if believed by the culture at large would naturally create a caste system. You see it as proper and natural and good.. some here would see it as nefarious and discriminatory.

Brutal if you are right to the degree you specify here, if there are no other reasons than biology for the complete dominance of speed positions then it would properly create a caste system where coaches rightly perceive where the talent is and go and get it and the best coaches would get the best black athletes and they would advance and develop to a level far beyond what the difference in their talent level was from those that were not recruited.

I blame unthoughtful and myopic people in general.... I dont see them as nefarious but the belief system is in place ... Im simply asking you to consider that in these areas it is very possible that the total dominance that we see everywhere from the 100m to the CB position in football my very weill be more due to the belief in black superiority than it is in the actual superiority. The evaporation of white sprinters and white sprint performances is largely due to the fact that they are not developed. Not every 22flat 200 meter kid is incapable of progessing to sub 20flat.... but the 20.6 kid will get the nod.... when it is a matter of fact that some kids at 22flat have more potential for sub20 than many 20.6... the same goes for the 10.7 kid vice the 10.3 kid... kids develop at very different rates...

Nevertheless you are right in one thing.. until the performances of white kids returns to what it once was ... there can only be speculation and  no certain grounds for any other belief system to dominate other than the caste system that shapes your perception and that you reinforce....

I go to many track meets as well.. the difference is greatest in the freshman and sophmore years... it attenuates by the senior year but it is still there... agreed... I think I am a very good judge of talent and I do not bias my judgements based on race at all. From my experience there are many many white kids that could be elite level sprinters at both the 100, 200 and 400 races... very many. They typically do not go on and stick with it. ... but they typically do not get the coaching that the 20.6 Highschooler is going to go on to get.
