Al Jazeera Video that Mocks Americans as Fat, Gun-Toting Racists (Independence Day)

Al Jazeera’s digital media platform AJ+ posted a Fourth of July-themed video mocking Americans as fat, cheese-eating, gun-toting, pill-popping, racist porn watchers.

While some on social media applauded the creation, others slammed the Qatar-owned network for using the holiday “to dump” on America.

Social media users got particularly riled up by the criticism coming from the channel owned by Qatar — a country where stoning is a legal punishment under Shariah law, women have second class legal status, writers can be imprisoned for criticizing the emir and abuse of foreign laborers has been repeatedly criticized by human rights groups.

The video is sarcastically titled “Americans Show Why USA Is The #1 Country In The World.”

They got part of it right

I’m 57

This nation is frigging fat as hell

Its astounding

I’d wager half of white women in lower middle class income down are morbidly obese

75% of Amerindian latino women over 35 and 85% of black women

And men are fatter too now

It’s crazy

Fattiness is 20 fold higher than when I was a kid in the 60s

Look at old photos

It’s largely racial and socioeconomic

Shorter and fatter

My preacher while railing against homos rightly so today stopped and said without missing a beat

“Don’t be smug....how many of you here are sitting next to a man or woman you slept with last nite and aren’t married to them? or How many of you are morbidly obese....let’s be honest.....fornication and gluttony are no lesser sins in Gods eyes than homosexuality....not keeping our own house in order has made us suseptible to the Devils handiwork “
Woke some folks up at that point.....lol

Where’s the moose?

People ate a worse diet back then, and they were not fat.

The difference is the GMOs that got introduced. They first came into the market in 1994.

When you eat GMO you become hungry 4 to 5 at most 6 hours latter.

When you eat organic foods you are stuffed for 10 to 12 hours

Hogwash

[wardaddy]

Damn and you were doing great till that libtard talking point that lower income are fatter cause cheaper food is fatter

That is such utter bullshit

Wanna go cheap just eat two raman noodle packs a day or three single McDonald’s cheeseburgers or a couple of $3.25 subway six inch sandwiches....turkey or ham not the meatballs or philly

You’ll save money and lose weight

I go to Whole Paycheck for plenty of items....cheeses and soaps and Bell and Evans chicken.....ditto Fresh Market

I see overeating rich folks in both....including fat pasty vegan libtards in Whole Foods or Wild Oats ...whatever

There is more pressure on rich women to be thin and they usually are and they have more discipline

Lower income are fatter ....I’m talking squinched eyed sumo fat now....it’s ridiculous

Because they lack self control and drink big gulps all day of sugar coke instead of big gulp of diet

One 64 oz big gulp coke is enough calories to sustain life....for anyone short of deadlift champ

The same lack of discipline and shame is why they have illegitimate kids out the wazoo and are content to feed off mine and your tax dollars

It all runs downstream from the same shitpond

It’s just gotten so much worse cause progressive utopia enables it and people are afraid to criticize for fear of being called bigoted etc

I lost that fear long ago

My moms people were east Mississippi piney woods fairly poor folks who were not fat and worked hard and eschewed the practice of bastard kids and attended church

That group today is represented by the opposite of all that and often adopt black ghetto speak and mannerisms

Especially here in middle Tennessee where it is crazy out of control in Nashvilles worst white trash areas

This is where Americas’s decline is self inflicted

I’ll never get used to seeing young white women walking about carrying an extra 100-150 pounds like nothing in tight clothes all spilling out over their lost waistline covered in ink with no eyebrows and slicked down tight black girl hair style toting 2-3 mulatto babies from various absent totally from responsibility sperm donors completely unashamed of their doings

And go to family reunions with old redneck grandparents to show off their spoils like they’ve accomplished something

This is our new world

I prefer the old one.

[wardaddy]

I eat whatever and I’m within 5-10% of reasonable weight for my height

As is my wife and all my kids

Cause we have reasonable self control

And we care how we look

How do you know what folks ate back then?

Country folks ate very well....I’m old enough to remember

I do not buy the low carb bunk

People especially kids were much more active

All women cared how they looked even if poorer

It’s no shame and lack of discipline and self indulgent

Hell that describes America frankly in 2015

[wardaddy]

I’m not trying to fight but pretending people are fat cause of some third party reason and not because they themselves lack the will or desire to be different

Will never ever resonate with me

This is all part of the same problem

It’s no coincidence that at the same time traditional America is lost down the shitter that we are fatter than ever

No more personal responsibility

Man....and this is conservatism

No offense

Maybe I’m just too old.....

That frame of reference determines so much about perspective and ianyone under 45 simply lacks that sounding depth the rest of us have

To truly understand when things were different

[Enlightened1]

It's okay I have been in your shoes.

Food prior to 1994 had nutrients in them. Today they are just calories.

When we are hungry our bodies are hungry for nutrients and not calories.

So if you are getting calories and not nutrients..., then your body will be hungry again shortly.

Some of the money you pay every month to cable or satellite TV providers goes to Al Jazeera.

Just sayin’...

[Enlightened1]

That’s crazy! Although I don’t have cable or satellite TV.

I cut the cord over 4 years ago.

[Fresh Wind]

I’m coming up on 3 years in a few months. Saved about $3K so far.

[sakic]

I would have to find the study again, but in America, the poor are fatter than those not poor. If there is a reason other than most cheap food is fattening, I’m not sure what it is.

[wardaddy]

It’s their behavioral patterns

Same ones leave some folks poor generation after generation

I’m not talking folks who went broke in their lives in which case they generally don’t end up fat

I’ve experienced that myself

Temporary poverty

Twice actually

Once in college

On the run after biting my sister. Moose bites can be most nasty.
