Is it a congenital birth defect?
Has the National Health System failed to provide adequate care for sufferers of this deformity?
Are they eligable for disability benefits?

I'm a white guy. DC resident all of my life. I know what you are referring to. We used to call it the "pimp-walk" (although my friends & I used to refer to it among ourselves as "breaking knee", just our own term.) I did it myself most of my life. Didn't really stop until around forty. (Still occasionally do it when alone!) It's simply a macho posturing thing & it serves it's purpose well! Always thought it looked cool myself but, of course, when one reaches a certain age, it does start to look a bit ridiculous.
Remember the version of it that Sherman Hemsley did on The Jeffersons? Also, the late Leo Gorcey (Jewish/Irish) had his own variation in The Bowery Boys/East Side Kids movies!

Diabetes and hypertension (leads to strokes) are very common among black men, more than among whites. Diabetes can lead to circulation problems which can give you a limp. Some do get disability. We have no national health care system.

Provide evidence for your outlandish claim.
Also, the term African American implies that all black people are American; this is not true.
