Why do you keep making asumptions?

What assumptions?

I mean, why would slave-owners breed slaves to be fast? Isn't that the last thing you want from them?

Most of the renown black runners are probably of Caribbean descent. It was Americans with their capitalist spirit that decided to breed mega niggers like is being done now with gmo crops which like niggers may bring future consequences.

What incentive would American slaveowners have of breeding mega niggers? They don't pick cotton any faster, they eat more, and they'll be harder to control physically. In slave labor, the most valuable traits are resistance to disease, hardiness, and endurance. You want a small, industrious race, similar to East Asians.

A bullet is faster. A fast runner can do things that involve running faster.

mega niggers could also be used as pack mules to carry stuff around.

Exactly fucking profit driven insanity which always has some consequence.

>not realizing the redundancy of niggers after the invention of the cotton gin is what entrenched american slavery
>implying Americants, who are incapable of breeding even dogs, could make coherent functional changes within 2 generations that would be present 5 generations later

Americans have proven perfectly capable of practicing husbandry and it is not beyond the bounds of reason to such skills were exercised on people.

Books were written on the subject in the U.S. in the 1700-1800's. All are extremely difficult to find. The only one i know that has been reprinted is called 'On The Keeping of Negroes.'

Because people need an explanation on why non-whites can do something well. In this case slave breeding was conjured up as a reasoning to explain why now all of a fucking sudden Blacks are doing decent in sports; where as in the past the social belief of the day was Blacks being shit at sports because they were surprise surprise "bred" with traits that don't go well with Athletics.

It's all grade A bullshit. Jews are thought of being bad of sports but in the past they had a big presence in them.

"breeding" humans doesn't work at all though. It basically went "you have a young man and I have young woman. Lets make them fuck".

This

At one point, the stereotype was that Blacks made bad boxers because they lacked the natural combativeness of whites.

There's no evidence that niggers were used as pack mules, and given that mules were cheaper it makes no sense to breed special expensive deluxe niggers to replace them.

I think the obsession with "black yanks were bred to x trait as slaves" is another page in the book of western obsession with black bodies Lol

If eastern european women were used as mules well into the 20th century to plow fields why would have strong black slaves not have been used in the same manner?

It is very difficult to selectively breed animals which take a long time to reach sexual maturity. Humans take the longest.

To breed traits into humans would require a multigenerational scientific effort, of which none existed.

We all know there were mega niggers bred for increased production but what if the south had won? What if to this very day slavery was still being used in the south and instead of breeding superior mega niggers, to keep up with demand and production the south implemented... mecha niggers?

...

When there's more people than mules, people are gonna lift.

>"Don't be selling me no weak niggers. I want a big and strong and healthy one."
>repeat for 15 generations
doesn't really have to be scientific at all really

That's extremely vague as hell and 15 generations is way way more then the period of slavery. For other animals with much shorter lifespans with the techniques you said (used by just any guy way way back) the years it took for animals to reach domesticated levels were super super long.

Do you notice how women are used as pack mules in underdeveloped countries but they are seldom mega nigger-type built physical specimens?

>doesn't really have to be scientific at all really
It kind of does.

You do realize slavers even /slightly/ selecting for stronger or taller looking slaves would compound over many generations right?

Because they're running the joint or doing the serious work

I don't think you understand how selective breeding works.
Furthermore there's little to no evidence that weaker looking slaves were killed off before reproducing, literally zero evidence that there was any race-wide selection.

The slave trade lasted what, 500 years? 500 years, including the Arabic slave trade? Only letting the strong slaves have children, forcing reproduction, or natural sexual selection of the strongest, largest, and tallest, could easily allow for these traits to be ingrained.

Do you not know how long animal domestication has been going on?

>Only letting the strong slaves have children, forcing reproduction, or natural sexual selection of the strongest, largest, and tallest,
Any proof of this?

>The slave trade lasted what, 500 years? 500 years, including the Arabic slave trade?
Why not include ancient Greek slave trade and fantasy into life a millenia-long slave-breeding program based on literally zero evidence other than the existence of slavery?

>I don't think you understand how selective breeding works
I don't you're the one who does. Slavers didn't go out of their way to breed the largest and meanest looking negro, simply selecting for slightly stronger or healthier looking ones over successive generations would have resulted in a much stronger and healthier group of people many generations later.

>zero evidence
Fucking STEMspergs

Looking stronger or taller is not necessarily genetic. Selecting for stronger or taller looking slaves without any science behind it could easily result in compounding of weakass shit genes over many generations.

One's health at any given point is not very strongly influenced by genetics.

MUH PSY ANTS
Fucking positivists denying empirical actuality.

Is this what happens when you get a degree in Afro-American studies?

>Selecting for stronger or taller looking slaves without any science behind it could easily result in compounding of weakass shit genes over many generations.
Here in the real world selection like that produces stronger and taller looking slaves about 999 999 times out of a million.

Nice argument desune

>call people STEMfags and use libarts buzzwords
>making an argument
Choose one

>breed mega niggers

I'm not making one and reject the nonsense that founds it. You do not, thus you ought to make an argument.

>responds to a well-reasoned post with "muh science"
>claims to want an argument

Its because slaves are useless niggers. Damn coon and them jigaboos, they had it good under slavery. If you think niggers are lazy today oh lord help you should have seem back in the good old. Coons got to eat watermelon and all sorts of fun stuff and then that coon traitor Lincoln freed all the porch monkeys and now look at what we go now, niggers running around when they should be zoos and have the pretty white children throw bananas at them.

>Slavers didn't go out of their way to breed the largest and meanest looking negro, simply selecting for slightly stronger or healthier looking ones over successive generations would have resulted in a much stronger and healthier group of people many generations later.

That many generations would be way way way more then the period of slavery. Just doing basic bitch "breed good with good" takes forever to do so (just like humans did with other domesticated animals with shorter lifespan) and the techniques used for pets involved massive incest.

Also just LOOKING at person does not tell the quality of a person's genes (they didn't even have genetics back then). Any dumb reasoning used to explain "slaves bred to be big and strong" can be used to explain" slaves be bred to be weak and meek".

Oh look, an illiterate
>muh reason
Nonexistent

Slaves were bred to fuck the wife and daughters of the slaveowner. With that came athleticism.
