Good news brehs only 36.9% of Black men are considered obese in the US.

Why are you still with your black girlfriend, and making “woe is me” posts about how she looks if this is what you’re thinking of doing? Clearly the relationship is not sustainable so leave and go after what you want...

If her hard headed ass would just listen. Wow IS me. When my PAAG comes around that’s when my main is getting tossed.

No anger just disgust that a peon such as yourself thinks he can say anything to me about anything. You and your homoerotic fantasies...

Kick rocks, sodomite.

Example of what people mean when they throw doubt on BMI scale.



Daniel Ryan Cormier
Olympic wrestler & UFC Champion

Born: March 20, 1979 (age 40 years), Lafayette, LA
Height: 5′ 11″
Weight: 235 lbs

Body mass index (BMI)
A measure of body fat in adults
32.8 = Obese BMI

(I'm a little taller and about 10 pounds lighter than dude above ...and I would still be considered "Obese")

Now obviously most people are not Olympic caliber athletes but you have to define normal by who's standard and body type?

Cause Obese doesn't automatically mean the following either.

​

The important thing also is lets say a subset of "obese" people have health problems. You have little way to know what type of "obese" a person is just by BMI alone. It reminds me of when people go to Impoverished African Americans and try to use whatever data/metric they pull from that analysis as a means to characterize all African Americans even though overwhelming majority of African Americans are not impoverished.

I.E. you don't know what fitness level a person of a given BMI falls in just like you don't know what income level a person of a given racial group falls in. You can't take the worst case scenario and use that to go on a triad without being questioned and looked at sideways.

BMI: IS THIS SCALE BROKEN FOR BLACK WOMEN?

With that BMI issue out the way and addressed I will say the two major health issues for African Americans from my perspective is....

• Lack of sun exposure to convert cholesterol into vitamin d (cholesterol build up and vitamin d deficiency are rampant and cause a wide array of cascading issues)
• There is nothing embedded in the culture that pushes physical activity after say ...high school.

As a kid you play street ball, football, etc. as an adult those things fall off and people have to make a conscious decision to engage in activity; where when young going outside in the sun and playing sports was simply part of childhood culture. And that's even though that kid spent the same 9-5 sitting on their ass in school that adults spent on their ass at work.

This abandoning of physical activity "cause you grown" or whatever, is often magnified for women.

[Street Knowledge]

The Average dude looks like shyt physically, even in their “primes”.

Go outside and look at your peers, they either have dad bods or are 300 lbs

Yea you can get by being slightly overweight, but as you age excess weight, weather muscle or fat, will start to put pressure on your joints.

And it isn't surprising that there's such a large difference between black males and black females as it concerns BMI. Engagement in sports, especially at a young age, is far more pronounced for black boys than it is for black girls. Playing sports will usually instill in you an decent orientation of what foods to eat and how to work out. Black dudes are playing football, basketball and running track. I don't see as many black girls participating in sports.

For white people it's pretty even between boys and girls, especially in the suburbs. Sports is scene as a social activity and place to form bonds. White dudes play soccer, football, baseball, lacrosse etc. White girls I usually see play field hockey, lacrosse, soccer and softball.

 

[Catch1977]

This is obvious to anybody that sees black men in real life.

The crazy thing is that chart is thrown off by BMI, which puts even super in shape dudes in the overweight category.

I'm 6'7 250lbs and considered overweight by CDC standards when people think I'm a professional athlete when they see me in real life.

Black men are easily the most in shape race of men and it's not close. Only reason Asians are lower than us is because they naturally have slender builds, but they're frail.

Facts. Go to the NFL site grab all the weights/heights for all Linebackers and check their BMIs. Hint they are all "obese". Mucularity is not taken into account. BMI is a "cac" calculation

Yeah without going too far off topic the elephant in the room with womens sports is that it primarily appeals to the middle class and most of those girls don't even like sports, they just need something to pad their college applications and compete/be bytchy towards each other

My dude, Daniel Cormier has way more muscle than the average man being that he's an elite athlete and he's still fat as shyt at that weight. If anything, this supports BMI.
