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.

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.

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

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