"The popular and unrelenting support received to those who are borderline obese (not just 30 to 40 lbs overweight) frustrates me as a fitness advocate who intimately understands how poor health negatively effects a family, a community and a nation," Kang wrote, according to News 10.

According to Kang, her post was taken down within three hours of going viral. Facebook then shut down her account, saying her words constituted “hate speech.”

The popular and unrelenting support received to those ...

"received to those"? What's up with that? Is this yet another new usage because Internet?

That said, how stupid. If you can't take someone being rude about your weight, get off the Internet.

She has no class, but hate speech? No.

I’m a fat person and I’m tired of people trying to put me in a victim class. I don’t need protection.

People who don’t have a problem with weight don’t understand those of us who do. I can try to correct and to educate, but in the end she has the right to her opinions and beliefs.

What happened to our freedoms?

Internet vigilantes, bandwagon activists, and the Thought Mafia.

A triad that can steamroll anyone to silence when they work together.

Thin people are actually less healthy and die sooner than normal weighted people.

Nothing to see here...

Facebook is a private enterprise that doesn’t have to allow anyone access who they don’t want. But this was stupid on the P.R. side.

A person can be every kind of rat bastard, and it doesn’t show on the outside ... but if a person eats too much, it’s visible, and every thinner rat bastard revels in his “superiority.”

FReep ‘em. If you are a kind person, you’re a much better value than a lot of thin people.

I wasn't exactly angry with Facebook, just the whiners and dogooders who made the stink.

Next up, fat protection laws. Working out becomes a hate crime.
