Do I have good genes for sports?
My dad is Nigerian and my mom is white, I was just wondering because my dad is black would I have a little bit of an edge athletically due to having a black parent. Please don't take offense to this question I was just wondering because I'm aware that black people are gifted athletically.

Just because your dad is black is no reason to think you could be more athletically inclined. If your dad actually is, then it may make it more possible that you could be as well. Even if he is athletic it does not mean you will be. Quite often it is what you make of yourself. If you train hard for a sport it is more likely to be the reason you would succeed.

Not all blacks are gifted athletically, so if your dad is not athletic at all then you may well not be. But if he is then yeah you probably inherited some of that genetics.
