Should There Be A Type Of Colour Bar In Athletics?
100 Answers
Both male and female London marathon winners were Kenyan, but nothing unusual in that, since most wining athletic runners seem to be of African decent.
This goes on for me to ask this very controversial question, should there be separate sporting completions for blacks and whites.
Before most of you go off on one, just think about it, we would not think of placing males and females together, athletes with physical disabilities against those with none, and certain drugs to enhance performance are rightly not allowed.
So why are blacks who obviously outshine whites in such physical activities allowed to compete against whites on what should be after all a fair and level playing field.

Silly idea. The list of winners includes all sorts (no pun intended).

Daft idea, the reason Kenyan and Ethiopian athletes are so dominant in the marathon is due to the fact that they come from generations of people who live at high altitude. They have a higher concentration of red blood cells than those 'born and bred' at lower altitude due to the need to get sufficient Oxygen from the lower Oxygen concentration at altitude. It is not the skin color that is a factor it is where they and their ancestors were born and evolved. The higher Oxygen levels they are able to achieve due to their ancestry is a significant advantage in events requiring stamina rather than outright speed. Native born Tibetan athletes would have a similar advantage but Tibet has very little history of long distance competitive running.

/// Well Hitler didn't achieve that in 1936 so why should it be considered now? ///
I am not suggesting a complete bar from athletics for all blacks, that would be white superiority as I think that is what Hitler would have liked.
But what I am suggesting is the idea that since blacks are superior to whites in such things why not? as I have already said it is quite acceptable (if not demanded that male and females are segregated in certain events).
