It’s true.

I was at Wal-Mart the other day and there was this morbidly obese black woman riding a hoov-around with a cart full of cheetos and all i could think was, “My, God. Just look what racism has done to that poor woman.”

wat did I just read

The link was to the very conservative Frontpage Magazine.

The article by Daniel Greenfield was intended to mock and condemn a study by "The Black Women's Health Study" purporting (or pretending) to link racism and black female fatsos.

One of the downsides of agitating for racism.

What happened to the food they’re eating? I suppose THAT had nothing to do with the obesity.

Who wants to bet that this study was all or partly funded by the taxpayers? Could be Federal, state or both

I read the title and thought they meant the more racist a black woman was, the more fat she would be. :-P

I’m going to guess its probably attributed to an illness or condition he doesn’t talk about openly in public

“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”

Right. The conclusion could just as easily have been that fat AA women are more likely to be paranoid about racism.

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


This, in a single statement, nails the problem of the victim mentality and, through implication, the freedom and power offered by a resonsibility mentality.

Or made to percieve they are being victimized to create political division so they can be used as a tool
