According to former Olympic champion Michael Johnson, African American and Caribbean sprinters will dominate the London Olympic games because of what he terms a "superior athletic gene," the favorable consequence of their history of slavery.
Johnson said: "Difficult as it was to hear, slavery has benefited descendants like me – I believe there is a superior athletic gene in us."
Daily Mail reports he said: "Over the last few years, athletes of Afro- Caribbean and Afro-American descent have dominated athletics finals. It’s a fact that hasn’t been discussed openly before. It’s a taboo subject in the States, but it is what it is. Why shouldn’t we discuss it?"
According Johnson, "It is currently being researched to see how much of a factor being descended from slaves contributes to athletic ability."

I wonder what Johnson would say if you asked him "So by the same token do you believe that white people have developed a superior intelligence gene then?"
Not taking sides just would love to hear the answer
