Blacks and more broadly people that live in the tropics don't have wide joints. Tropics favour longer limbs, shorter torsos and small joints for heat regulation and mobility. Like bergmann's rule. There's also the Allen's Rule. Populations in hot climates (the tropics) evolved longer, thinner limbs to maximize surface area for heat dissipation. This results in "tapered" extremities with smaller wrists and ankles. You can have wide frame shoulders but it won't correlate to your joints. You'll also typically have higher bone density and more explosive muscle fiber types compared to Europeans. And are hence also more likely to have V tapered lanky body and carry less weight instead of stocky build.
