1. Do Black Professional and Colligate athletes perform better in athletics more because of hard work, the share force of their numbers in most competitive major sports, or a natural athletic advantage as opposed to other races?

2. What role does race play in the “competitive nature” of sports?

3. Why do International “white athletes” perform better than American “white athletes” in International and American athletics, when you compare their performance to that of Black American Athletes?

4. What role did sports have in exposing the American Civil Rights Movement to the International community? Do Black Athletes still have any role today in exposing those who would not otherwise be exposed to Black American culture to it, through sports?

5. What is a more realistic dream in society today for a young black American male (economic, social, and societal situation existing without any great drawbacks), being a star in the NBA, MLB, or NFL? Becoming CEO of an established American company? Becoming a doctor or lawyer at a previously all white hospital or law firm?

6. What role does sex, sexuality, and the subsequent sexual exploitation of the Black athlete play in the shaping of their image.

7. Does such a thing as “penis envy” of the Africain American male penis or the Africain American female body actually exist in other American racial and ethnic group?

8. Is it black people as a whole or the black athlete as individual that defines what a black Athlete is in America?

9. Is it the struggle with environments and situations that we all as Black people say are negative that produces the Black athlete? If so, would obliterating such environments, hardships, and struggles of black people lead to the disappearance of the black athlete as we know it? (I.E-single parent households, ghettos and projects, inner-city focus on athletics, racism)

What role does politics and business play in the production of the image of the Black athlete?
