WINNERS AND LOSERS Or "Who's Cheering What?" All sporting and athletic events , from the school playing field and local gymnasium to the Olympics stadium , are occasions when the participants are supposed to be representing a particular organization (e.g. school , company, regiment) or some geographically or politically-defined part of the world . Supporters are therefore supposed to identify ( a very significant word !) with individual athletes or teams ,seeing the triumphs of ‘their’ team or athlete as a boost to their own self-esteem as members of the same community . But what exactly are authentically British people supposed to be applauding when a negro athlete or multi-racial team wins the event under British colours ? Is it a genuinely ‘British’ achievement , an individual negro’s triumph, or just another form of multi- racialist politics ? It happens that the physical characteristics of certain races give them a distinct advantage in many athletic contests and ball-games . For example, the musculo-skeletal structure of many negroids makes them ‘naturals’ for track athletics (although it becomes a handicap in competitive swimming ). Generally therefore, there will always be more negroids than caucasians with the ideal physical attributes for certain types of sport or athletics . Likewise the negroid skull is thicker than the caucasoid for boxing contests, whereas the negroid brain consistently under- performs in comparison with caucasoid and mongoloid peoples.. All of this is both scientifically established and historically self- evident. It is only to be expected that negroids exploit their physical advantages in caucasian societies where they are intellectually and therefore socially disadvantaged . And while they are never going to distinguish themselves in terms of intellectual capacity , innovative genius or scholarly achievement , they will continue to excel in those fields to which their physical characteristics are ideally suited . Thus, while the sporting and athletic records and journals are crowded with successful negroes, they remain virtual non-entities in the context of European culture. There is nothing at all ‘racist’ about such differences; they are as uncontentious as the fact that famous poets and scientists tend not to be champion pugilists or shot-putters, and vice versa . So while applauding the physical performance of individual negroes, it cannot be claimed that they represent anybody but themselves and their racial kin.. After all, if Beethoven or Shakespeare or Darwin had held Ugandan passports , would they be lauded as exemplars of African culture ? . Thus multi-racial football teams can represent only themselves. The coloured athlete or team member is no more than a mercenary when participating in any allegedly ‘British’ event . And no one would seriously suggest that an army heavily reliant on foreign mercenaries could win glories for the host population. Yet still the inane sports and games commentators go blathering on about ‘another gold for Britain’ when a negro scores ; when the truth is that the nation’s stature is not enhanced but diminished thereby. So call the sports or athletics team what you may, if it includes aliens it no longer qualifies as ‘British’ in any meaningful sense . So when you hear the cheer go up for an allegedly ‘British’ success, ask yourself what is being applauded other than an individual’s prowess. One therefore despairs of people who cheer multi-racial teams ostensibly representing any part of Britain... They remind us of Enoch Powell’s quotation that ‘Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad’ F Kimbal Johnson January 2009
