Default Re: Why are most offensive lineman white and defensive lineman black?

OL is all about knowing assignments - aka 'smarts'. You have to be able to recognize and remember lots of different schemes.
DL is all about speed and strength - aka 'physical traits'. Just go make a play.

Once you realize that, you'll see the obvious answer to your question. Looking further, we see what happens when a really smart big black guy plays OL (Larry Allen, Orlando Pace, Walter Jones, Randall McDaniel, etc)

so basically, black people are big and strong, but too dumb to play OL? except a few outliers?

nice post
