Not to belabour the point but you said:
"...it's fairly widely accepted that west african decendants, are a physically superior race than caucasians,"
Which is the comment I respond to.
Think about it some more, and how many West Africans have become successful middle and long distance runners? I can't think of any, whereas although the East Africans are currently dominant, we've also had very succesful white and Asian long distance runners. No West Africans, which perhaps lends credence to the long-held belief (some would say racist belief) that black (i.e., American black of West African origin) lack stamina in athletic performance.
Additionally, while MALE West African sprinters are on top of the pile, the division is not so clear cut among FEMALES (who make up half of any "race" we may be talking about). We've seen a great deal of success from white female sprinters (100m to 400m) from OUTSIDE the US - from Britain, Australia, Russia, Germany, etc.
