Entine, Jon. "Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We're Afraid To Talk About It." Black Athlete Sports Network. 02 28 2008. Web. 1 Nov 2009. <[]>.

The person that wrote this article, [|Jon Entine], is a respected author of five books and has been on CNN, MSNBC, Fox Business, NPR, and BBC. Jon Entine is qualified to speak about this subject because is a public speaker on the DNA of human behavior and he has done extensive research to write his book. What this section of John's book talks about is the different qualities that different people commonly have. He focuses mainly on Kenyans and other Africans, but he also talks about Caucasians and East Asians. This source is very much so useful because of the fact that it talks about how people from certain regions have a higher propensity to succeed in different aspects of sports. It is also useful because it covers topics that other sources I found do not cover such as the advantages of East Asians. This source may contain a small bias because although it was an excerpt from a book, this specific portion was published on a website for black athletes and will likely not contain anything offensive towards black athletes. In conclusion, I believe that this is a solid source because of the authors knowledge in the subject and also because of the fact that it deals with my topic.

Graves, Joseph. "INTERVIEW WI​TH JOSEPH GRAVES, JR.." //RACE-The Power of an Illusion//. 2003. California Newsreel, Web. 22 Oct 2009. <[]>.

This source is an interview with [|Joseph Graves]about different aspects of race, but the ones I was interested in are the sections about links between race and athletics and also the section about certain races dominating sports. Joseph Graves' credentials are that he is the dean of university studies at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. He has a Ph.D. and is a professor of biological studies which shows he has devoted a lot of his life studying the topics he is writing about. A summary of what he concludes in this publication is that although certain races have dominated certain sports at different times, it actually has nothing to do with the biological races, but rather with the environment around them. This article is useful because not only does it show research done on both sides of the question, but it offers a conclusion of what a very intelligent professor thinks on the matter. This article is also helpful to my wiki because it presents evidence to back up its points about the subject. A bias that this article may contain is a bias towards the idea that race does night exist. Since the PBS website is devoted to proving that there is no such thing as race, and that Joseph Graves says in his interview, "Because as we pointed out in this program that there are no biological races in the human species."
