WOW!! Bill Burr White Athletes vs Black Athletes (Reaction!!) 

When he does humor on this type of topic he’s not doing for hate or to put anyone down. Just that differences between all of us (not just race) can be very interesting and funny.

He’s a professional professional

Thats genius right there. He's the best.

He thinks about his craft. The way he uses the microphone is also amazing.

Yea I haven’t heard anything about any particular group being different than another in this case. As far as I understood, it was all the same, tho of course personal genetics and health could maybe affect it. But nothing so specific to any group of people.

@@moni13000 - it has been 30 years since I last did any serious study of evolutionary, cell and molecular (genetic), and developmental biology, so I cannot say. It is possible that relatively-isolated breeding populations undergoing differing environmental and sexual selective pressures would develop race-linked differences in the ratio of the different fibers. Other distinct differences have developed (a subgroup developed elevated hemoglobin and increased lung capacities rendering them better-adapted for living in the Himalayas, as one example). It is also possible that the Neanderthal genetic contribution to Europeans (largely absent from the sub-Saharan African populations) could have created such a difference. So... It is possible. I just don't know if there is such a difference in the skeletal muscles between the European and African breeding populations.

It might not be a huge difference for most people. It’s possible that at the highest level, even a 2% edge is all you need. But in general, there are so many other biases in professional sports - cultural acceptance of the sport, financial and community access to training facilities and equipment, bias of the team manager in hiring, differences in how you trained in your game (regimented athletics vs street ball, let’s say), how much merchandise a guy is likely to sell, whether a guy goes to college or not and whether he chooses to enter the draft or do something else with his degree. You’d have to see how many people are in the hiring pool - who *wants* to play this sport? That question may be tied to knowing what other opportunities exist for people who chose not to enter the draft. Maybe more white players choose to use the degree and work in their dad’s company, because that option exists for them due to generational wealth. Maybe the team looks at two candidates and says “these two players are equally good for our team, but the black player has more style and will get more fans to the game. He’ll sell more jerseys and hats than the boring white guy. And our fan base is 55% black, so let’s go with that dude.” Then maybe when all that bias is worked out, you could look at biology and say “maybe this group is inclined to a small advantage.”

@@gordonpromish9218 interesting info! Thanks for sharing😊 My thoughts: considering that black Americans are descended from people who were literally bred like livestock for strength and endurance, it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s something to the thought that our particular subgroup of African descendants may be prone to genetic differences that could be considered advantageous in physical activity like sports. Similarly, I know there’s a LOT of pushback on the “Slavery Hypertension Hypothesis,” for example, but I think black Americans are a unique case that should be explored a bit differently when it comes to heredity to determine if purposeful forced-breeding tactics by slavers impacted us in ways that separate us from our continental African cousins. Personally, I’d rather know the truth (one way or the other) than stay ignorant because there are those who are more comfortable hiding behind political correctness to avoid a possibly uncomfortable truth.

@@EchoJ The characteristics of Americans, as mixed as most of us are, might not be the place to start. If I were to go about studying this, I would first try to establish baseline norms for the three overall breeding populations (Northern European, Mediterranean Ring, and sub-Saharan African) in their home ranges. Whenever possible, I would like to be able to compare the genomes of the modern subjects with the oldest useful preserved archaic genetic samples for populations in those same regions. Then I would have some solid standards against which to compare both muscle structures and corresponding genetics in current Americans.

“Destroyed” 😂 that’s absolutely adorable. If you’re competitive and an athlete you’re supposed to believe that no one can stop you. Especially in basketball. My mindset was common in the 90s era. Oh, college players got it too that’s bragging rights.

@@poloreacts27 Agreed on the competitive athlete take. As a white guy, nothing felt better to me than being shown respect by the mostly black players on the court when the game was done....

Yeah so white guy who can play why don't you play with the rest of the black guys who can play?

@@romanwoods155 I was usually the only white guy on the court.....or one of a few. Thought that was obvious from the comment. No, I wasn't good enough for the NBA.....sheesh

@@Thomas-aka-TomDA bra I went to all white aka majority schools from grades 1-College and competed in athletics and academics I can say from experience this no contest rivalry between blacks and whites is real but I do recall putting white kids in check from sports, class work and fist fights just because they were reacting based on what they learned at home. So I don't buy into the whole white guy pity party thing hell you people started this race shit and it appears God had already for seen how full of crap white people are facts trying to fuck black chicks and befriending black guys and other minorities won't erase you and your ancestors bullshit it's time for your people's race to become extinct keep this kiss trump's ass shit up I served this Country because of a Man who graduated Highschool at 16 for Accounting on a UCLA scholarship and still got a draft card to Vietnam but Trump lies about a leg/foot injury or something and can become commander and chief of this country and my dad gets a bullet in his head in Vietnam almost died acquires Airborne Ranger, Speacial Forces, Delta, Mac V, Private Security Detail for his Batallion Commander, Undefeated Middle Heavy Weight Boxing Champion of the School of America's in Panama etc... oh yes Don't Forget to seear your allegiance to this fucking Country but It's illegal for you vote or grab a cheeseburger with your fake ass White American friends. So save your 1 of few White guys trying to fit in wonderbread head ass on the basketball court for some body who's not born in the 90s but My Great Grandfather was still born into Slavery I'm 6th generation the last of my Clan. My father was born in 1945 I can't even start my ancestry with out bumping into white people's bullshit interactions to my people facts.

I heard about this😂

@@poloreacts27 There several Larry Bird vids out there worth checking out. I think my fav is the Trash Talking Larry Bird.

He calls both sides out that’s what the best part of him is

What does that mean

I thought about doing a movie review on that… CLASSIC
