In January 1988, Snyder was fired by CBS after he made comments suggesting that breeding practices during slavery had led blacks to become superior athletes.
It's not something talked about in polite conversation, but it's true. The strongest survived transport from Africa, and then for 200 plus years the strongest among them were selectively bred by slave owners.
To deny that this affected the genetics of the black population in the United States would be the same as denying the obvious effects selective breeding has had in the fields of agriculture and domesticated animals. There's no scientific reason that it works differently for humans.
It’s probably intensified it, but I think many or all of those traits are most likely also present in African blacks. Think about Kenyan’s dominance of running sports, for example.
LoL, I had to look him up:

I'm just not sure they were actually selectively bred.
