This is absolutely insane. I want to look at the data.

Every culture has an ideal that they like their women to fit into. I’m thin and short, but a near perfect hourglass; I never find clothes that fit outside of vintage shops.

In earlier times, heavy, pale women were desirable because that meant they didn’t have to work, and therefore their families had money. Women started becoming thin around Twiggy; androgyny became “in” and women expected to be Calista Flockhart small.

And having grown up heavy and as pale as a GD lily, I was relentlessly teased. No racial component.

None of that passes the sniff test. There were white slaves too, and they were highly prized in Africa because they were an oddity.

Strings' research traces how that "revolution" is actually rooted in slavery and Protestantism....."Therefore, they decided to re-articulate racial categories, adding new characteristics, and one of the things that the colonists believed was that Black people were inherently more sensuous, that people love sex and they love food, and so the idea was that Black people had more venereal diseases, and that Black people were inherently obese, because they lack self-control. And of course, self-control and rationality, after the Enlightenment, were characteristics that were deemed integral to Whiteness."

This is nothing but denial of reality and Blame Shifting.

4 Out Of 5 American black women are morbidly obese.

Not black women in Nigeria, or Senegal - but AMERICAN black women.

Jesus specifically warned about overeating:

"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with excess eating and drunkenness and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares."

Some translations say "feasting" or "surfeiting" - which means: 1: an overabundant supply : excess. 2 : an intemperate or immoderate indulgence in something (such as food or drink) 3 : disgust caused by excess.

It isn't a "White" thing to point out that God is not pleased with overindulgence. Obesity isn't caused by "racism." It is caused by eating too much, eating junk food, and drinking too much alcohol.

"With the dawn of the slave trade..."

There have always been slaves throughout history. The practice predates recorded history in many cultures.

The author takes aim at Christianity because temperance and self-discipline are “bad”. Both of those virtues extend beyond eating to good work ethic, maintaining a home, setting good examples for children, good health, treating people fairly. Most importantly, showing respect for the Creator and your body, which was meant to be a temple of the Holy Spirit.

All reasons for leftists to hate Christianity, since they adhere to the Satanic motto, “Do as thou wilt.”

I’m as white as you can get. My parents were both grand children of Scandinavian immigrants. Up until now, I’ve been “over weight” ever since I was a teenager. My mother grew up during the depression living in a family of four, lead by a single mother who’s only income came from working as a maid for other families in small town middle America. It was not a very easy life for them. Her father died from an industrial accident, and the family was on their own for survival. On many nights the family went to bed hungry. This was not untypical for many families of that era.

My family was also typical of post WWII. My father grew up on a farm where he reached “adulthood” when he turned 14, “graduated” from eighth grade, and was sent to work essentially as an indentured servant a hundred miles from home. He was the breadwinner of our family, and worked as a laborer all of his life. My sister and I grew up on the lower side of the economic ladder, but never considered our family “poor”. We always had sufficient food, and my mother made sure we ate it - all of it. No one EVER left the dinner table with food on their plates.

I grew up overweight. To this day, I never leave the table with food on my plate. It was drummed into our heads that slim, “picky eaters” were bad, and that “big boned” was good. This is certainly not a scourge of Blacks only. Justifying it on the basis of skin color is as racist as the KKK.

For the record, over the last 2 years I have lost 75 lbs., and am now down to my “ideal” BMI. I intend to keep it there. I accelerated my pace to achieve this because of COVID-19. Obesity was my only co-morbidity other than age, and I can’t do anything about that.

My disapproval of obesity is directly linked to the fact that they want me to pay for their health care .

You can fat-shame white women all you want, but black women are off-limits.

And of course, it's not a black woman's fault if she has no self-control. She's fat because of Trump and racism.

I remember the live production of Jesus Christ Superstar shown on tv in 2018 with lefty John Legend as Jesus. The cast was the most diverse ever seen from all previous renditions. If you watch it, you will see faces of many colors and people of many sizes EXCEPT fat white women. Plenty of big guys and a few fat black women. But absolutely not one single fat white chick.

Fat-shaming is still alive and well. It's perfectly fine to do it do white women, but you're a racist if you point the finger at a black woman.

[Adder]

they decided to re-articulate racial categories,

What a huge pantload.

NO ONE decided any such thing.

[bk1000]

This is a crock. Now I’m racist if I don’t yearn for fat women?

Writer’s a young white Karen for sure.

I think the SJW Karens of today lack that which a woman naturally needs — children. When young. Children that adore them, want them, need them, tell them “I love you, Mommy!” a lot.

But, our childless Karens instead look for attention in poor substitute activities.

“With the dawn of the slave trade, skin color was the original sorting mechanism to determine who was slave and who was free.”

Bullcrap.

I don’t know about fat-shaming, but I do know that we have an awful lot of obese people on food stamps.

[Lizavetta]

she encountered for the first time a lot of White women in her integrated community who were on diets, and she was like, 'What? Why are White women on diets?' This was something that she puzzled over for years, because no one could really provide her a satisfactory answer."

Because they want to maintain their non-fat figures. Duh.

[Tax-chick]

Garbage.

[tbw2]

This is where liberals confuse discrimination with discrepancies. There is universal discrimination against the obese. There are a variety of reasons why blacks are fatter, on average, than whites.
