- As black sports sociologist Harry Edwards has said, there is considerable reason to believe young black Americans are forced into some sports as a way to escape poverty and earn possible riches, just as youngsters in some climates and income brackets are channelled into hockey and other winter sports.
- "the necessities," have been a mite too sluggish in rewarding black athletes with management positions when their playing years run out.
- Notions of black physical superiority, some argue, only feed racist notions of black mental inferiority and, therefore, should not be afforded the dignity of formal investigation.
- Why do African Americans thrive in jumping?
- Are blacks born more naturally athletic?

I disagree with the point your making about African Americans being raised to be athletes because I believe there raised just like other people are.
You made some good points here such as blacks playing sports to escape poverty. They play a lot and that is why they are good. I agree with this point because I believe that to a certain extent talent comes with practice and hard work when it is not a rare case of being born that way.
