I went to school with a black kid named Demetrius Howard, and he had this massive herniated belly-button. I noticed several others in my life-time, and all were black. I thought the observation was isolated to myself, but my wife--independently--noticed the same phenomenon. So what's the deal? (Obviously, Caucasoids and Mongoloids get herniated belly-buttons, but at nowhere near the same rate. What's behind this physiological mystery?)

it probably has something to do with the quality of the negroid integuments which have influences on homologous body parts, such as the lips, genetalia (including negroid female macronymphia), the lips (tribal deformations) and the greater possibility for keloid scarrings and markings on the skin surface in this racial stock.

there is also the possibility that primitive or less technologically advanced people have a less effective way of disconnecting the .... what is that thing called? ... from the mother, and so you have that condition which then expresses itself in that characteristic way.
there could also be physical - structural and nutritunal causalities.
from the structural standpoint - we have to take into consideration the development of the pelvic and lower lumber area, the developement of the abdominals including the muscles there, gender and then include other factors such as subsistence and nutritunal patterns.
i'm not an academic so won't be able to go into any kind of detail.

Those aren't keloids. It's just due to poor umbilical snipping. Here in the states they use hospital-grade clips-even midwives use them for home births. they umbilicus is cleaned and given a drying agent.
Most Africans do not use this

I would believe the "Due-to-Snipping-the-Umbilical-Cord" argument if it didn't break down under analysis. Blacks in the ultra-developed United States and Britain have distended belly-buttons--just as they do in under-developed African and Caribbean nations. Likewise, Australian Aborigines, Brazilian Indians, Eskimos, etc. are all among the least-advanced cultures technologically . . . yet has anyone ever seen them with distended belly-buttons? Just a single case? I didn't think so.
It has to be physiological. If it was environmental, then blacks in the US wouldn't have such high incidences of it, echoing blacks in poverty-stricken countries.

There are such differences at least, just to mention a few:
Negrids have a stronger lower spine and stronger loin lordosis (Lendenlordose in German, might be influential if its about this topic) than Europids. They have a stronger tendency for cicatrisation and seldomly acne.

They have a stronger tendency for cicatrisation and seldomly acne. Lordosis refers to the form of the lower spine, not easy to explain in English for me but its a stronger curve, usually thats stronger in females than males, but in Negrids the (lower, in healthy-normal people) lordosis is generally stronger than in Europids. With stronger Cicatrisation I meant that they develop more often bulging scars. Acne should be clear...

The lordosis is the "swayed back" that most gymnasts strive for and ballet dancers loathe.
Many black women accentuate this curve by sticking out their rears. many white women have adapted this by wearing thongs with high bands, butt lifters, and falsies.
Lots of times it seems there is a large population of SSA in the USA that seem west African types who have buttocks that are larger high up and it gives a "table" appearance due to this curve.

In such cases lordosis and steatopygy work together to give a certain impression of a prominent, underscored buttocks.
