Admittedly I didn't watch it, (I don't watch YT pundits, that shyt is pathetic), so if I'm off base, I don't mind standing corrected. Still, there's a strong denial in black circles when it comes to size. Its on here. We have a thread on slim thick black women. Most people other than in our culture, will look at that thread and see women who are in shape, take care of themselves, are healthy, etc.. At the same time, we'll see numerous threads showing women who are "thick" or have a "fat ass". I'd venture to say a good 75% of the time those women are actually obese.
Again I didn't watch Samuels on this one, and I agree we do have different facial features and genetics from Europeans. Still, we're in denial on some other matters. Covid should have been a wakeup call.
