I am not in denial at all. You can simply look at family photo albums to see the differences over generations. I am a 48 year old black man. I am 6'3" @ 180lbs. My waste size is 34 and this is the biggest I've ever been. I am blessed and this blessing was bestowed upon my children. Both children (male and female) have zero body fat and are built in true human form.
Yeah, yeah, we get it. The average C-D poster is 6'2+ and built like a Spartan warrior.

Again, the data doesn't bear this out. Black people in California and the District of Columbia report having exercised within the past month at similar rates (82-84%).
I think you assume that Black people in DC would be fitter because of high levels of educational attainment (not that LA is really "low" in this regard anyway). What you fail to realize is that weight tends to rise with additional education among African Americans. We don't see the same inverse correlation as other groups where weight declines with additional education/income.
Anecdotally speaking, who are the "dimes" from the DMV/ATL? With 3.5 million Black people combined, you'd think you'd have at least 50 we could point out. Is Mya considered "top tier" for the DMV?

People go on the attack against BMI because it can be dismissed as European junk science even though it is strongly correlated with coronary disease, hypertension and Covid mortality. But if the attack is simply based on it being inaccurate as far as appearance goes, then we can look to waist circumference and abdominal diameter instead, which are also strongly correlated with BMI.
Lol dude, chill. You were hanging your hat on BMI and folks correctly pointed out that's not exactly a good way to get to what you're stating. Yes, there are correlations between BMI and an the chronic illnesses you pointed out more often than not. Also true, one can have an "obese" BMI and be in top physical form too. BMI is 100% junk science. Source: I've lost 100+ pounds over the last 5 years and BMI was on my mind zero percent of the time and technically speaking I'm still "overweight" according to that metric despite being only 7 pounds off of the "healthy" designation.

It is a good way to get at what I was stating. My point was that Black women in California are smaller and in better shape. You are just pointing out the exceptions (NFL athletes) who have high BMIs despite being in top physical shape. What percentage of people with an obese BMI do you believe are conditioned to the same extent as Saquon Barkley? 50% 25%? Folks need to give this argument a break. Heard it a billion times before.
The average person is not some physical specimen built in the mold of Lebron or Cam Newton, even if 90% of the men here claim they are.
Imma keep it real the last time I was in LA didn't see a ton of Black women in comparison to cities like Atlanta, Houston, DC, NYC, DAL or even Philly. And the Black women I did see frequently they were fit but they were with White Men and it wasn't a ton of them at that.
True I'm from California it's not that many Black women
Out there Los Angeles is played out,majority are relocating else where even back in the 90s la Oakland
Sac was known for attractive black females fit but you
Can too Atlanta New York Dallas and Chicago see way more fitted black females and fine New Orleans red bones Yellow bones come from the boot and Houston

Half of these women are biracial or mixed. Where's the "sista's sista's" at?
One thing I appreciate about Philly is that you see black women, not the light-skinned/mixed-black women everyone is infatuated with now.

Last I checked, Bria Myles and Nia Long were black women.
My point is that despite all the "LA doesn't have many Black people" talk on here, it sure seems to generate a disproportionate number of attractive Black women. It also attracts a disproportionate number of attractive Black women from around the world.
Attractive Black women in Los Angeles would be considered "dimes" anywhere else. The best-looking women in other cities--and I am talking about the ones who are extraordinarily good-looking--usually wind up there or in NY at some point anyway.
