Black and white Olympians

OK, so all the men in the 100m final were black. And all the swimmers in the finals of every race except the one medley relay were white.

The usual liberal argument is that black guys don't have any money, so they gravitate toward basketball and track where they spend all their time in the projects. They can't afford to go to the country club pool, so they don't.

I'm not your usual liberal. I think there are slightly different body types that go along with the different skin color. And, at the pinnacle of athletic performance, every little advantage counts.

The white swimmers have long torsos and short legs, and some bouyant baby fat. The black sprinters, long legs and no extra fat to weigh them down.
