This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

There's actually some truth to that.
Blacks have subtly different bone structures than Caucasians (just as do Orientals), and part of the difference is in the structure of the hips. Their hips are actually more efficient at transmitting the muscle power to movement. So, not so much an extra muscle, but a slightly different configuration of muscle and skeleton.

It's one of the ways that forensic doctors can tell the race of the individual from skeletal remains.
