Professor blames Trump and racism for black women’s overweight issues
A Rutgers University professor linked President Trump's policies and racism in the U.S. to African American women's obesity issues during an appearance on "Black Women OWN the Conversation” on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
The story: Brittney Cooper, a gender studies professor, argued that the lack of access to necessary health care and the stress black women experience because of discrimination affects their metabolism and enhances the struggles they face when trying to lose weight.
“I hate when people talk about Black women being obese. I hate it because it becomes a way to blame us for a set of conditions that we didn’t create. We are living in the Trump era. And look, those policies kill our people," said Cooper.
"You can’t get access to good health care, good insurance. It's literally that the racism that you're experiencing and the struggle to make ends meet actually means the diet don't work for you the same," she added.
