Not exactly accurate. Zeebras and horses are diffret species...and they do breed. The degree of relation determines how fertile their offspring is. the closest term to mark the boundaries between species that can breed is actually a Biblical term, called a Kind. Supposedly, if you brought 2 Kinds of elephants on the Ark, you'd get what you need with a Wooly Mammoth and an African Elepahnt....or any extinct combination, really.

No, they are not a different spiecies. if they were, the different races of the earth would not be able to breed together and produce fertile offspring.
... I heard somewhere that they have an extra bone in their foot that helps them run faster, so this could be natural selection and adding to the theory ...
It is obvious that most blacks have a different physique which includes a longer femur and thus a longer muscle group attached which affect running ability.
Wether we're talking about intellect, athletic ability or the size of your johnson, it ain't a sterepotype as far as I see things - it's a fact.
The Bell Curve
The ability to manipulate information has become the single most important element of success. High intelligence is an increasingly precious raw material. But despite decades of fashionable denial, the overriding and insistent truth about intellectual ability is that it is endowed unequally. In this audio presentation of The Bell Curve, author Charles Murray explores the ways that low intelligence, independent of social, economic, or ethnic background, lies at the root of many of our social problems. He also discusses another taboo subject: that intelligence levels differ among ethnic groups. According to the authors, only by facing up to these differences can we accurately assess the nation's problems and make realistic plans to address them. However, if we accept that there are intelligence differences among groups, we must learn to avoid prejudicial assumptions about any individual of a given group whose intelligence level may be anywhere under the bell curve.

That one IS a stereotype... one made up by people who are uhm... lacking... in that area.
