I am a big time listener of a podcast called, The Godfrey Show, hosted by Godfrey Danchiman, he is a seasoned comedian of Nigerian descend. On his latest show he talked about a post that he did on his Instagram about the issue with obesity and health and how particularly take place on the Black and Hispanic population on the United States.
The show made reference to a clip he posted on his Instagram criticizing black women from the perspective of a black female. The clip had a caption saying;
Woman say BLACK MEN do NOT prefer other races. Black women FORCE black men away with the attitude and reluctance to cook or workout...
Godfrey as a defender of black women sort of brought it up and connect it with what would be an example from the opposite side. Inviting a super fit black female that not only work out but OWNS her own gym.
Godfrey asked interested questions regarding the relationship between black people and their refusal to workout. If it holds true, their believes and their reasoning why they don't join a gym or work out on their own.
Things that standed out was the beliefs that going to the gym will make the women loose their thin frame and make her big. Or that going to the gym will make her 'loose her ass' and somehow lose the curves. Finally another thing was that it would ruin her hair and nails. Which most of the reasons are not really truth but the last one does hold truth and that's where there might be some insecurity issues.
Another hold up of women working out was that it's based on trauma and experiences that have messed up their habits and their self esteem where they avoid working out because it will expose them.
It was an interesting show and would encourage people to listen to it. Tune in to The Gas Digital network and the show In Godfrey We Trust.
