Ghettopottomi are deeply offended by talking about their size.

Interesting, Amanda Montgomery is a nice-looking white woman bleating like a sheep about “racism”. How sad that so many of our people hate and blame themselves for everything bad in the world. Just demonstrates how effective the propaganda has been over the last 60 years.

My doctor would never come straight out and tell me My weight was causing me health problems, he always beat around the bush throwing out medical terms and trying to be pc for fear of insulting me I think, but if he’d just come out and say, Hey, yer fat, yer 30 lbs overweight and it’s affecting your health, I may not be in the state I’m in today.

What the hell is fat phobia? Do you know anyone who has a pathological fear of fat people?

These people ought to be put in jail for their abuse of the English language

These are not "large bodies", these are weirdly fat in the wrong places .... and way too common in America

Morbid obesity is a medical condition that leads to diabetes, heart and lung issues and joint issues and a shortened life span in ALL who have it. If black folk at U of Illinois want to live with it and the doctor not to bring it up because it is racist to treat it, I am good with that. Enjoy the suffering and shorter life span.At least your feelings will not be hurt

If the avoirdupois privileged in the US slimmed to an easy 23% body fat then the resultant drop in carbon emissions would be equal to taking 130,000,000 cars off the road and dousing every light in Las Vegas.

It's racist against white women. Look at any tv ad and you see lots and lots of lard-ass black women now. But the white women are still all stick insects.
