Why are black people good at basketball?

Answer 1

There are a couple of reasons. The first is that many white people have little exposure to black people through any other means than their televisions, and one of the most common places where they see black people is when they are playing Basketball. Therefore it only makes sense to many of them that if most of the black people they see are good at basketball, then most of the black people in general must be good at basketball. The second reason is that, as with any stereotype, there is a kernel of truth to it. Basketball is historically one of the most accessible sports in America for low-income people because there are always basketball courts in parks as a result of how inexpensive and easy to maintain they are. Furthermore, basketballs themselves are very cheap. Also, you can play with really any number of people and it is still a fun game. Therefore, many urban poor, which many black kids are, can and do shoot hoops. Therefore, many of them do get very good, compared to white kids who are often on swim teams, tennis teams, etc. Of course, we all know that is not always true.

Answer 2

Who told you basketball was black peoples favorite sport? I don't particularly like basketball or any sport. People like what they like individually not because of their race. That was very ignorant of you to even post a question and since I'm the one who edited your question you should learn to write rather than worrying about black people

snoopdoggiedogg24 is obviously a dumb black kid. No capitalization, no punctuation, and a dumb name.

They have better metabolism, extra tendons in their legs, and because of this, increased speed. Speed is a key factor in sports so they generally are better at sports. Probably developed this from slave work, and genetic breeding for better slaves.

The difference is, white people are more intelligent and make better decisions, such as whether or not to go for it on 4th down or not. That's why you have white people as head coaches, the ones that make millions of dollars each year for 40-50 years. I hope I answered this well enough for you.

Answer 4

This is not necessarily the case.

Anyone can play basketball, no matter what colour of skin they are.

Answer 5

because they can run shoot and steal and they have different strengths. It's geneic and many are have natural skills such as speed and jumping ability.
