[/QUOTE]So your opinion is that certain members of this site are racists who are paranoid of blacks? Great analysis. Which members would that be? Would you include me since I say Bolt is on PED's? Please fill me in wise man.[/QUOTE]
Everyone has got his or her own opinion; as with most communities -- Internet or otherwise -- there are individuals that span the entire spectrum of political, ideological, and or social and cultural viewpoints. At one extreme there are unilateral, bombastic Neo-Nazi types, on the other there are apologists exhibiting a cloying aura of moral, liberal self-righteousness. Trolls abound on either extreme and it is up to the individual (as it always is) to decide for himself which end represents the "bottom".
Some may consider themselves "moderate" in their approach to race, and there's nothing wrong with that -- what is inappropriate it my opinion is putting any other intelligent man's opinion on blast. Everyone has come from a different life experience, and since [I'm assuming] we're all adults we've all got good reason to explain the beliefs we hold. As in, if we hate, we don't hate for no reason, and if we promote ideas more liberal in nature, we have good reason for that, too.
The above obviously applies to those on the board who consistently put forth their opinion in an intelligent manner that doesn't devolve into name-calling or other such immaturity. This latter behavior deservedly gets dismissed as "trolling".
However, I don't think there's anything wrong with considering the White race superior. If I didn't think the White race was superior I'd have little reason for even being on this site. I'd find no reason to defend Whites who face discrimination in all its forms (sport, politics, etc.). I'd have no reason to express disgust and outrage at examples of Whites being belittled, mocked, and otherwise marginalized in sports, the media and elsewhere -- when they do not deserve to be.
There's a difference between believing in White equality and White supremacy, and when I say White supremacy I don't mean in the Hollywood version where White supremacists salute Hitler and rove in packs to commit violent acts on Korean shopkeepers or homeless Black men. Equality means that I can look at the Black race or at Latinos and think that their achievements as a race and a culture equal those of Caucasians. I don't think so. In that regard I find the White race superior. Just my opinion, maybe others share it, but if others don't well that's their right.
Just because I believe in White superiority does not mean that I think other races have no right to live, be happy, have families, and pursue their goals. However -- if ANY of those things somehow hurt the White race... As in, they get the job over a better-qualified White, they take advantage of White altruism, they get overrepresented in the media and call people who share my pigmentation and Cultural background evil, "racist", and all the things that they themselves represent to even greater extremes... If they change my White history to turn me into a villain and themselves into heroes, and teach that to my kids... Well then I've got a problem with that.
Anyway, there's also nothing wrong with opining that Bolt is on drugs. Maybe he isn't, but assuming that he is, considering all the other shady things happening in the sprinting world -- especially among those who not only defeat world records, but completely smash them -- is not crazy or paranoid. I happen to think Bolt is juiced. I think he's a talented sprinter, but I also think he's cheating. To think so is not crazy or paranoid, considering piss-poor Jamaica is suddenly producing such phenomenal talents and crushing sprint superpowers like the USA.
It's not like the gradual emergence of Kenyan or Ethiopian distance running. The East Africans did not develop this prowess overnight, and their eventual rise to primacy as elite longrunners is explainable through their lifestyles, running culture, and environment that is conducive to producing champions. Note how Whites who train among Kenyans and live as they do gradually produce competitive times in long races.
I don't personally believe that American sprinters can learn anything regarding technique from Jamaicans, other than where and when to stick the needle. Maybe Bolt is innocent of all this -- and maybe he's just a once-in-a-many-generations talent -- but to think that he's in the needle club is not crazy idea, considering his company.
