With out sounding like A.Hitler,what about the possibility that whites on the average world wide are the best at power,speed,endurance,intelligence,etc.What other race even comes close in the all around perspective of things?
That can be a compelling argument, depending on the context. We're talking about sprinting here, which is very specialized. If we were talking about the running back position, I would say it's a great point. Why can't a white player who's pretty fast (not the fastest in the world but fast,) pretty agile (not the most agile in the world but agile,) strong, good stamina, smart, knows how to find the holes, follow his blockers and all that, durable, coachable, etc., why can't he be a RB? We know about guys like Emmitt Smith and Jerome Bettis who weren't lightning fast, but they were still successful. Why not, hypothetically, a white player with a similar body and skills?

Who is to say that if hundreds of thousands of whites world wide took up all of the black dominated sports,that we wouldn't come out on top?
Well, hundreds of thousands of us are taking up those sports, but for various reasons (including the Caste System, but not just the Caste System, in my opinion,) it hasn't worked out for us over the last couple of decades. But things seem to be turning around, slowly. Last years Olympics were hopefully a sign of many more great things to come. The men's 100m dash may very well be the last place that we have success.

All I'm saying is that it is alot more than the color of ones skin.
Absolutely. All I'm saying is that it matters.

I would need to see alot greater numbers involved before I could make a true hypothesis.
But like I've said before, maybe, just maybe, kids gravitate to what their best at. They may also go to where other people (parents, coaches, peers, media, etc.) tell them they should go. It's probably a combination of both. Regardless, you could be in for a long wait. And me, too. I want this as badly as anybody. I would be so overjoyed to see a white man win Olympic gold in the 100m. That would be phenomenal. There are so many things working against them. Caste System, the bell curve, their culture's negative influence, possibly their parents' negative influence, possibly their coaches' negative influence, etc.

I am just defending the fact that whites can be just as good as a Michael Jordan to a Carl Lewis.
Okay, let's agree on that. Now, could we agree that a higher percentage of blacks have physical attributes similar to Jordan's and Lewis's? Jordan and Lewis are black, after all. Do you also believe that a higher percentage of whites have the genetic makeup to be great inventors, scientists, and chessmasters than blacks? You yourself mentioned "the possibility that whites on the average world wide are the best at power,speed,endurance,intelligence,etc." Is genetics a part of the reason for that great all-around talent? I think it would be silly to think that it plays no part whatsoever. If we're the best all-around athletes, is it possible that blacks are slightly better sprinters, on average? It's only fair, right?

Some day,sooner than you think will be a huge revival of white sprinters.We have not even seen but the iceing on the cake.I look forward to that day.
Me too. Really. Seriously.
