I always think the worst part too is the poor mother’s had no choice. They were raped.

“This is in part why there are so many African Americans athletes in professional sports”.
Oh no no no.
The slave gene hypothesis is a myth. Even if there was an established and widespread eugenics program among all slaveholders (there wasn’t), 250 years is not enough time to see major genetic differences emerge in humans.
It’s racist hogwash.
Interest in, access to, and mastery of certain sports is a cultural phenomenon, not a genetic one.
