I was watching Missouri wr Trevor Cain who should be a top 20 recruit in a fair world on youtube. I watched him beat white corner after white high school corner. Every corner I saw him go against pumped their arms furiously and took choppy steps while back pedaling. When I watch great white corners like Dan Fadelli or Gavin McHenry or Carlson Millikson they all kind of have a relaxed movement about them. Ive come to the conclusion that there are so many quicker white athletes than blacks when it comes to the pro shuttle. Watch Rivals and Scout and the facts dont lie. White athletes are quicker than most black athletes.
I once had a black coworker who I got in to a discussion about race and murder. He admitted blacks kill each other a lot over small stuff without thinking much but his concern was that whites are more evil because they actually plan their murders over months. Therefore one can conclude that blacks dont think to much and whites over think. I tried to say that well whites are " smarter " becasue they at least plan their murders becasue they dont want to be caught. And his reply was well heat of the moment or calculated mayhem? Hes got a point.
I really think that white athletes though just as athletic or more than blacks tend to be more cerebral and therefore more nervous causing the tight backpedaling and kind of nervous overall movement. I dont think theres a tightness in hip debate here but maybe more of a thinkers game here. Does anyone have any input on this?

Sometimes over thinking hurts you in athletics. At positions like RB you have to be instinctive, but guys like Rex Burkhead, Danny Woodhead and Peyton Hillis have got the quick reactions figured out. It really depends on the player. This may be why a larger demographic of the black population make elite scatbacks. With whites being 75% of the U.S populous there are still many talented white scatbacks like Woodhead, Beaver, McGuffie, Knapp, Howell, Gerber, McDaniel etc. IMO at the NFL level scatback should be around half white and powerback 70% white.

As far as crime, you hear of more whites committing financial crimes and certainly Ponzi schemes (a significant portion of them Jews though- just saying). You don't hear about many black serial killers or cold-case plotted murders on the Forensic Files show, but you hear about gang drive-bys and retaliation violence in the black community "a ton" on the news.Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins

Yes, I do think you have a point. Although some of what is considered "tightness" seems to me to simply be better gross motor skill control. Edited by: Observer
