Watch the “My 600 Pound Life” episode about Dominique, the Haitian woman with 6 kids, and you’ll quickly understand that it’s not about racism and all about shoveling huge amounts of fried food down one’s gullet that causes obesity, regardless of what a person’s sex or race is.

I see it from a different point of view. The RACISM that is instilled in the overwhelming majority of Blacks is one reason why Black women end up becoming obese, and it comes directly from the hate that these women harbor for other women who are not black.

But seriously, look back in time and factor in genetics. It’s not too difficult to see how this has come to be.
