Wtf?🙄

But our dicks remain bigger(taller)😉

Haybo, is it a mistake that this study omitted significant body part growth comparison? Shouldn't they measure the size of🍆 in different races, because 9/10 the mlungus will be found not have grown at all down there & bantu will be the goal to chase. Research yokunuka!

Which black men, I'm still short

Next I will have to have a few inches chopped off because of BEEE.....

So Helen Zille were right all the time and you grilled her for saying

And what are we expected to do with this information

But blacks have the bigger penis, or so they be forever telling us. Which is appropriate seeming that the meaning of life rotates around the penis

Anything to glorify whitehood!!!

The Dutch are taller than the rest of Europe.

LOL!!! What can we do right?

The MYANC will keep millions shorter than average because of malnutrition!?

What on earth is this? 😂😂

😂I guess there aren’t real stories anymore

Dumb study

'fruits of democracy' propaganda crap. Tsek

The study is meant to compare us to whites? Racist tactics always want the black man to feel inferior to his white counterpart!!!

You mean somebody pays hundreds of thousands of Rands to study pple's heights🤔

This is no surprise because people are now easily having children with men from other African countries & they are different in structure compared to SA. It is after democracy that the borders were opened better than before.

Brings to mind a wise observation....

What the hell .. taller where

Asiqhelwa nje apha

Getting taller on what, income, manhood, height of the hair or ....?

This study also confirms that girls mature much sooner than boys do. Go figure🤔.

Lol wtf

Cow's milk fresh from the farm versus breastfeeding and cutting down on zamalek whilst being breast fed ? Wits is the future of useless academia lately

We want equal opportunities not this stupid study.

Focus on PhoenixMassacre instead of this bullcrap
