Thanx for the history lesson but I am already well aware.
I made no point as to why things happened. I was merely illustrating that for 300 years (1600s - 1860s as slaves) and then from the 1860s to the 1960s that Blacks in America had very few rights.

Top of professional sports, whites invented, manage, control, own. So yes, blacks have dominated sports, but how many actually own teams, stadiums, franchises, ancillary sports equipment companies, compared to the % of black players? Or how many sports have been invented by black people?
He just exploited cheap available talent using a business model build by whites. Meaning, all equipment, records, studios, transportation, etc was invented by whites. Can you name one fortune 1000 company, solely invented by blacks, ran by blacks, solely for blacks?

I was using those as benchmark years to illustrate how far things have moved in a very short time, as I am sure you are aware. But don't address that point, instead try to change the point. Good tactic, but fail for you.
So, let's see. In the 50 years or so that Blacks in America have had some sort of rights (and that fight continues as I am sure you are aware), after 300 years of being legally held down, they have not managed to conquer everything and somehow that makes them less, or stupid or whatever else you are trying to express about them?
