Very useful survey.

More proof that people who blame ‘something else’ besides themelves for their problems... have a lot of problems.

It’s easy.

Those who are more likely to PERCEIVE that they are being victimized; ie, that whatever unfortunate occurrence happened was due to racism and not due to a character issue in themselves

are also more likely to lack the self discipline necessary to eat properly.

If anyone doesn’t have to work for a check (aka welfare), they will sit around and watch the boob-tube. There in turn is the obese.

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

My thoughts too...so called “black leaders” constantly creating the perception of victim-hood cause obesity.

...reports like this just compound the problem, never does personal responsibility come into it, ever.

People looking for racism see it everywhere. If the gas pump card reader refuses your debit card, it is because of racism. If your child bumps his head after falling off the bed, it’s because of racism. EVERYTHING is caused by racism.

It’s a conservative magazine, founded by David Horowitz years ago. Read the article — the posted excerpt is actually from a “study” that the article itself totally discredits.
