Doesn’t make sense. If being a racist causes black women to be fat, then why aren’t all racists fat?

Ohhh! The STUPID... it Burns!

Obesity is caused by stuffing your mouth with anything that can fit in it and doing NOTHING to burn off those calories. That’s it in a nutshell.

However... as in all things there are exceptions. But Racism is just not one of them, it’s just a handy excuse.

Study: Racism Causes Obesity in Black Women

So if it weren't for racism Black women could eat all they want and not get fat? There has to be a fad diet in there somewhere.

In Obama’s bizzaro world climate change, racism and George Bush are the only causes of every calamity, human suffering and economic failure and no one has any responsibility for anything. Sadly there are plenty of morons who believe this BS.

Righto! In fact white eggs with egg whites cause obese AA’s. White popcorn, snow, white cars, the whites in the eyes, etc., all are factors in obese AA’s.
