The black women and the hair thing started long before relaxers became popular on the market. Little black girls who had their hair "straightened" with the "hot comb" knew not to "get their hair all sweaty and messed up. Don't even talk about going to the beach and getting your "head wet." If anything, relaxers have let more black women be comfortable with being more active without "messing up the hair."

I would suggest that the obesity rate has more to do with the the traditional diet. Tons of carbs and the "clean your plate" mentality are the reason for the health problems of many black men and women.

(And now, the bonus round, where you are asked to explain "the kitchen." rofl)

"...the "clean your plate" mentality..."

AH, yes, this is an annoying thing. I am not black, and I am always very slim. I do not, cannot, eat past the point when I am "full". I get a lot of teasing about this, from people who are fat.
