And because black people are pushed towards sports, not academics. Almost all hockey players are white, it doesn't mean black people can't skate, it means they don't want to play hockey. The reason behind black people not wanting to play hockey is unknown, and to pretend you know why they don't want to play hockey or why they do want to play basketball is dishonest.
really? you cant figure out why some sports are dominated by whitey while others are almost exclusively black?
curiously this time it IS partially "SES"
go to the ghetto, or a poor rural community and see if you can count the ice skating rinks.
hockey, even beyond the rink expenses, has a considerable outlay in cash before you even begin to play the game for the first time
the same goes for skiing, snow boarding,swimming, diving, rowing, sailing, equestrian, tennis, golf, nascar, and pretty much every "white dominated" sport.
meanwhile the sports where blacks are in a dominant position require low cash input like basketball, or are heavily subsidized in the public schools like football
as to why blacks, as a group, tend to excel at basketball, and to a lesser degree at football, is a result of higher proportions of "fast twitch" muscle fibers which create speedy movements, as opposed to "slow twitch" fibers that give strength and endurance.
blacks have a considerably higher proportion of "fast twitch" muscles to evil white devils which is super useful in running away from a lion, spearing that leopard, or evading the charging bull elephant trampling through your krall in the middle of the night.
meanwhile evil whitey has a higher proportion of "slow twitch" fibers which are super useful in keeping you alive in the frozen winters of northern europe, and make the white devil highly competitive in strength competitions, if on average somewhat slower than his black neighbor on the boards.
likewise whitey, in an evil scheme to survive cold winters, has a higher % of body fat, which helps retain core body heat on a glacier, and conveiniently increases native bouyance for swimming (one of the few sports where whitey is still dominant despite many black participants) while blacks are better adapted to dissipate heat, but are more likely to sink in water
i could go on, but read desmond morris and youll find out lotsa neat stuff.
