Frontpage Magazine ^ | 3/8/14 | Daniel Greenfield

[NRA1995]

Frequent experiences of racism are associated with a higher risk of obesity among African American women, a new study claims.

Scientists found that women who were more frequently victimized for their race, were more likely to be obese.

They do good conservative articles.

Very useful survey.

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

wat did I just read?

[MrB]

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.

Forks are racist?.....................

[Veto!]

So all those obese white women are somehow victims of racism too?

[Dr. Ursus]

Twelve hours a day six days a week in the fields would take of that. Oh,wait......... Never mind!

[Red Badger]

White meringue, white chocolate, white sugar, white spaghetti, white milkshakes, white creme brulee, white cake...............yeah, I can see their point.....................

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.

“The possible and hypothetical thoughts of others causes me to stuff my face.”

[US_MilitaryRules]

I thought it was toilet paper!

[chris37]

So, am I to understand that Michelle got junk in dat trunk because her husband hates white people?

Interesting theory, no doubt valid.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

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

[George from New England]

You missed White Castle.

[ZULU]

I thought it caused global warming.

Guess I need a guide book to Liberal-Think.

[mojito]

So Fruit Pie the Magician was a secret KKKer?

And the all-white Pillsbury Dough Boy, a bigoted lil cracker?

I knew it, I knew it all along.

[fuzzylogic]

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.

[Blood of Tyrants]

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.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

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

Fixed that for ya.

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.
