Should There Be A Type Of Colour Bar In Athletics?
100 Answers
Both male and female London marathon winners were Kenyan, but nothing unusual in that, since most wining athletic runners seem to be of African decent.
This goes on for me to ask this very controversial question, should there be separate sporting completions for blacks and whites.
Before most of you go off on one, just think about it, we would not think of placing males and females together, athletes with physical disabilities against those with none, and certain drugs to enhance performance are rightly not allowed.
So why are blacks who obviously outshine whites in such physical activities allowed to compete against whites on what should be after all a fair and level playing field.

Oscar Pistorius complained about the length of his Brazilian opponent's running blades in the London Paralympics. There are rules about the length, and his were judged to be legal, but they did look very long to me. Can't remember his name now.
Blacks and whites separation just because of physical differences would be a terrible idea. I don't have the body of a typical athlete of any sort. Can I have my own category, please?

yeah good idea - what about a colour bar in .... chess !
that would be good - not only for the players but the pieces - so that the white bishop that travels on black squares - cant move or something !
yeah or the black bishop is allowed to travel further and faster

/// What a ridiculous idea! The Kenyans ans Ethiopians do the training. So they earn their place in the race. ///
No one is saying they shouldn't but perhaps Kenyans against other Kenyans or even Ethiopians.
With so much price money involved, why should white runners be at a disadvantage due to these nations physical prowess?
As I have already pointed out a marathon runner from both of these countries have won the race for the past 14 years, how can that be fair?

The Bridge Federation of the EU and migrants announced today:
as a result of AOG's barnstorming suggestion we have instituted the following changes with immediate effect. Black cards will be played slowly, in a trick so that the red cards ( hereinafter called white ) can have a better chance. We think court cards since they can be confused with 'caught' and therefore bring attention to the higher arrest rate of black players on the street should be renamed St James's cards. The black cards themselves will be renamed. Clubs which bring ideas of African Sjamboks and other racial images will be called 'bumpies'. Spades will not be called Spades - their names will be changed after full consultation with all 500 m people in the EU
hey AOG this is straight off the press
your idea is catching on !

// / aog - have you mixed up your medication this morning ? ///
There you go, not satisfied to take the question on, think about it and then make a reasonable answer, you just have to be personally insulting.
AOG don't be so quick to jump. I can see that the above remark was meant as light banter & the kind of teasing thing that people say to each other. Live a little.
