But why does being black have to be a part of that in such a big way? It seems to me the problem with some of the things this buzzfeed post highlights, especially for the employment issue, is that certain people cannot look past the race component when deciding on hiring or a person's guilt. People are bound to have biases, and oftentimes these are negative biases. Isnt a colorblind world the best way to address these biases? Have someone look at your resume and criminal record instead of your name or skin tone before deciding on hiring you?

When Rhodesia became Zimbabwe! And when Kenya kicked out the Brits.

You're wrong. And this exactly the kind of misunderstanding that makes Black folks just...

The reason why Blacks dominate basketball is because basketball is a sport derived out of Urban low-socioeconomic origins. Many Blacks are predisposed to being born and raised in low-income areas. All you need is a ball and hoop to play, making the sport very inexpensive and easy to afford. Many Blacks are driven by the potential of making out of the "Hood", hence they work hard in basketball so they can receive a college scholarship and hopefully make the NBA to pull their families out of poverty.

You know where else basketball is popular? Native American reservations. Because they've faced similar, if not worse, displacement as the Black community. They even have their own league.

And the reason Blacks don't excel in swimming as much is also a result of socioeconomic discrimination. Swimming is considered to be an middle-upper class commodity. Many inner-cities (where Blacks tend to be heavily concentrated) suffered from depopulation and deindustrialization in the 70s-80s, which lowered the tax base of these cities. So the pools that were once public resources, received budget cuts from the city and became PRIVATIZED and public funds went towards subsidizing malls and football stadiums to attract entrepreneurs and tourists to bring revenue to the city.

It's amazing how white people can manage to displace and sabotage so many different groups, yet so many are completely oblivious and confused as to why minorities in the mess they're in and blame the victim instead.

This is interesting, and also explains why you don't see many blacks playing golf or hockey either.

But I've always wondered why there are plenty of black people in the NFL. It's a relatively expensive sport, isn't it? All the equipment doesn't come cheap and isn't available in areas that are economically disadvantaged.

You mean when Kenya reclaimed themselves after being COLONIZED by Britain?

Only white people would play on ice for fun!
