yeah Waterbed, you are right : it is a misunderstanding and i was only repeating the commonplaces in french newspaper about black athletes strenght (it is why i put exclamation points and quotes)
in fact, when you look at the french winning team in 1998, Desailly (black) was in fact a physical monster, but also Petit (a french descendant of Viking), Lizarazu (a small Basque from southern France) were impressive...
yesterday the physical strenght was obviously on the side of Luca Toni, the gigantic italian striker. Had he been less clumsy that he could have score 5 goals to Italy...
in fact, i think that Domenech, who was before the trainer of the french youth team and that contributed to the blackenization of the team, has an uncounscious inferiority complex toward blacks. In fact, he also seem to prefer black to arabs. For instance, Karim Benzema, a young Kabyl (the whiter arabs, like Zidane), had not played the game against the Netherlands. Domenech, to the astonishment of the commentators, chose to put the young black Gomis
the last one is so black he looks blue. I don't know his biography, but given his looks, i'd bet he was born in Africa. You know : african-born black people often look and behave differently than europe-born black people. Their features and their facial expressions are different, and Gomis looks more like an african than a black suburban in France
N.B : i checked it on the internet. In fact, Gomis was born in the southern France, but could have played for an african team. He was asked by the Senegal to play the africa cup 2008, but prefered to play for France
about black strenght, i agree with you. This year, i tried Free fight in France. There were a lot of blacks in my club. Only one clearly beat me, and not everytime yet. I beat the ten others, including a Malian (108 kilos), a Nigerian (100 kilos +) and other nationalities. I am myself 1 m 80 and 85-88 kilos
I did never fight with blacks before, except in the streets some times and the first time i was against a black in free fight, i was surprised to be more powerful
in fact, i wondered how i could master guys that looked more muscular than me. I think you are right about fat and muscle being differently dispatched. I found out that one can, with eyes closed, guess that one's opponent is black : their skin is softer, like silk and the quality of the flesh is quite different
they indeed look more muscular than they are. Furthermore, some of them could benefit of a better range (long arms and legs), but they have absolutely no benefit once on the ground
also : it's obvious that whites population (including arabs and maybe asiatics) grow slowler than most blacks. In my freefight club, i was the older and i am now 10 or 15 kilos heavier than i was years before. I m slower at running, but much more powerful. When i looked at my white counterparts, they were mostly thin and light at identical ages compared with the blacks
what was odd too was the behaviour of some blacks. The first time i came to train, a black uttered in the room that he "wanted to fight only with negroes". Later in the year, he was regurlarly congratuling black fighters for "having fought like a black man". If i myseld had said something like that, i would have been excluded i think...
funny too. The same black that said that was accompanied all the first trainings by his girlfriend, a nice but not too pretty mulatoo
guess what ? at the end of the year, when some white girls joined us, his girlfriend stopped coming and he tried to seduce them, sometimes harassing them during the training
at one moment, the whole group laughed when our trainer said to him in public "stop running after her like a savage coveting the priest's daughter"
in fact, he had forgotten all his bullsh*t about black pride and communautarism, as soon as a white girl ass had shown !
