A New Jersey professor suggested on a TV program that racism and President Donald Trump’s policies are responsible for black female obesity.
Rutgers University women’s and gender studies professor Brittney Cooper made the argument during an appearance on “Black Women OWN the Conversation” on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
"I hate when people talk about Black women being obese," Cooper said on the program. "I hate it because it becomes a way to blame us for a set of conditions that we didn’t create."
"We are living in the Trump era," the professor said. "And look, those policies kill our people. You can't get access to good health care, good insurance."
Cooper said that research points to black women losing less weight and at a slower rate than do white women, claiming that public health practitioners tie increased stress to a change in metabolism.
"It's literally that the racism that you're experiencing and the struggle to make ends meet actually means the diet don't [sic] work for you the same," she adds.

Hate is not a family value. Rush talked today about misteaching...mistaught. this woman is as dumb and dangerous as LeBron James. Both should be added to the future short list of Dem Scotus nominees.
But, apparently, getting access to food does not seem to be a problem.
This is what diversity, using color & sex to promote or admit to college instead of ability or achievement gets you.
Trump has been in office ~3 years. Were these black women thin & fit until 3 years ago & suddenly porked up?
Im fat because he made me this way, pass the cheesedoodles and fried chicken
This is a professor you count on to teach your kids and pay handsomely for it, dumb a##es
Sorry, but there is no such thing as a gender studies professor.
Not even a gender studies first grade teacher.
Ya see, it’s that word “studies” in there that ruins it.
Now that's FUNNY!!!
I'll be using that line from time to time. Thanks!
Attention hound.
She’s throwing whatever crazy notion there is, out there, to see if it sticks.
This is the age we live in.
When she sits around the house, she sits around the house. When she hauls ass she has to make two trips.
I have figured this one out.
These women buy “groceries” at 7-11 and eat out at McDonalds.
And that’s all they’ve known since they were babies. And that’s all their babies know.
Half their calories from sugar, and half from bad fats.
“I hate when people talk about Black women being obese,” Cooper said on the program. “I hate it because it becomes a way to blame us for a set of conditions that we didn’t create.”

We need a scientific experiment. Put the prof in a room with a donut and close the door. Open the door 10 minutes later and observe the results.
While the door is closed the donut is in an indeterminate state; both eaten and uneaten. Aww, who am I kidding. That donut is always eaten.
Brittney Cooper...
Poor old she-cow. Fat. And with a white chick’s name.
How humiliating for her. I think I’ll think of a new name for her.
Something like Enorme le Montagnard.
French. And classy.
Seems to me I knew quite a few of both before anyone ever heard of Obama or Trump.
She looks like Stacy Abrams’ twin.
They just gained weight the last 3 years?
This Fessor say she wanna make her student all good scholars and critical thinkers. Wow! How she going to do that talking that way she talk.? M
Being fat come from all that Frad chicken and sweetata pie.
Maybe if you didn’t eat 4 pork roasts at a time........
What a great line i will use in the future
The crux of the issue is stay away from them. Let them figure it out on their own.
She'd kick my ass and sit on me.
No way.
