You are correct. Jimmy the Greek said that blacks were better athletes dueto breeding. He said, that slave owners took their biggest, strongest male slaves & bread them with the biggest and stronges female slaves resulting in bigger and stronger offspring.

Maybe Dusty's school-teacher mother can look up this piece of history and clear Jimmy the Greek's name. At any rate, I doubt if Dusty will be run out of town the way a white guy would be if he were to make similar comments regarding blacks.

Jimmy "the Greek" paraphrased what Rafer Johnson said about blacks being able to run faster and jump higher because of breeding.

Jimmy said that BLACKS were BRED for strength. He made a FACTUAL statement and was crucified by LIBS in every corner of the universe. That was no more a racist statement then what Dusty said. The ONLY difference is that Dusty will have a job and a life tomorrow.

Right. And Peter Aliss got fired for saying that women could not play golf as well as women because their breasts got in the way of the perfect swing.
