only a couple gold medal winners in the High jump at the Olympics. blacks are decent runners but that's it
shareAww why so sensitive about the title? A white man wrote and directed this film and he did a good job by the way. It's a really funny film if you give it a chance.
shareit just seems racist. the movie is good
share*beep* everything these days has to be so PC :(
The world is coming to and and.
Shelton is an interesting guy.
shareUmmmm, I take it you've never seen an NBA game or a slam dunk contest. Those Black guys *can* jump...probably a lot higher than you can. =) Look up Spud Webb on YouTube.
sharewell they definitely can't skate or play chess so certain races may be better at certain sports
shareWow - not quite sure what you're trying to convey here. First off, there are a lot of great chess players who are Black. Annnnnnnd I've seen plenty of Black people tearin' it up at the skating rink (especially in Canada).
Conversely, yes, there are White men who can jump very high. It's just a movie title based on a line from the movie. Just before Billy Hoyle loses his money to Sydney Dean on a dunking bet, Sydney says "White men can't jump!" Simple as that. I don't think it was meant to start a race riot.
When it comes to basketball, though, you have to admit this seems to ring a bit true. There have been some amazing basketball players who are/were White (Bird, Havlicek, Nowitzki, etc). However, not many of those guys were known for their dunking abilities.
I'm White...and I definitely cannot jump! Lol
Wow - not quite sure what you're trying to convey here...Doesn't really matter, as the OP is an obvious troll. However, in all sincerity it is a fun movie to watch, and the Snipes-Harrelson pairing is as entertaining as a Chan-Tucker Rush Hour team up. Yet, the title of the movie is fitting as it is an antithesis to a stereo-type, and of which Billy underscored. Nice plot, and location (L.A.) of which brings back some fond memories ... 'Gladys Knight and the Pimps ..." LOL!
Black guys can jump...what they can't do is shoot 3-pointers.
You're never fully dressed without a smile.
Just some stats

ever hear of Steph Curry? Ray Allen? Reggie Miller?
You're a clown
Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, and Shaq would all like to have a word with you.
"I'll be back!" The Terminator
Forget those guys, they barely had to elevate to get to the rim. How about Spudd Web, Muggsy Bogues.
Obviously the OP is a troll, but it makes sense why black athletes might want to play basketball than specialize in the high jump. One of those sports has a career track that can make you millions. The other, not so much.

"but it makes sense why black athletes" so white athletes are kinda dumb or what?
shareBlack people are superior to all people in the world. Especially white people. If it weren't for white people deliberately holding back black people, they would have colonized the Andromeda galaxy by now and created a centralized galactic empire, led by black people, for black people, against evil white people from a planet they would call George, named after heroic deity George Floyd. They would have gotten rid of all disease, solved the unified field theory and created a viable, safe means to travel through wormholes, meaning instantaneous travel to any place in the universe. Their first goal is to bring rap music to all the universe like 'So don’t follow me up and down your market/ Or your little chop-suey ass will be a target/ Of the nationwide boycott/ Juice with the people, that’s what the boy got/So pay respect to the Black fist/ Or we`ll burn your store right down to a crisp/ And then we`ll see ya/ Cause you can’t turn the ghetto into Black Korea.'
Sheer genius!
