Marie Antoinette: Let them eat (sugar-free) cake!
I wonder where she stands on Bill Cosby’s “Hey, hey, hey, here comes Fat Albert”
I think Michelle would be better served if she got rid of her own fat butt.
As far as Venus Williams is concerned, there is no mystery. If you exercised as much as she does, you too could eat any damn thing you wanted.
Sounds good to me!............
Obesity is proclaimed a direct threat to blacks and yet they make no such claim about abortion (which is really genocide).
I say continue to support McDonald’s worldwide because it is showing balls by going against the Obama administration and standing firm about its business success.
God knows *I* could stand to lose a few pounds!
Wow, this article couldn't be more idiotic and devoid of reason and logic, even if that was the author's intent. Really, it's about as anti-intellectual as you can get.
Venus Williams is a professional athlete who participates in a HIGHLY anaerobic sport. Like Michael Phelps, I would guess that Venus has to consume something north of 5-6K calories a day in order to not lose weight. Setting her as some kind of example of the black community - or any community - is almost retarded, because her activity level dwarfs the average American.
Americans are FAT. Anyone who spends anytime abroad, and then comes back here, knows that we're fat. And, the more we understand and educate our population about the dangers of some kinds of meat, of some kinds of fat, of excessive refined sugars in our diets and excessive portions, the better our collective health will become - and the lower our medical costs will be.
Obesity kills - it kills WAY more than guns, drunk drivers, murderers, terrorist - or any number of other dangerous activities or people that we get so worked up over. If Michelle Obama goes to the NAACP and tells them that black people are fat because they have horrible diets - she's right - and good for her.
I'll leave out the pic of Michelle Obama, because I don't believe one exception proves the rule, but there are lots of black women who are beautiful and not overweight, along with many who are overweight but still beautiful. Michelle Obama needs to mind her own business and keep quiet a little more.
Mrs. Obama also told the NAACP on July 12 - “Many of you probably grew up like I did — in a community that wasn’t rich, not even middle class..” “In these kind of strong African American communities, we went to neighborhood schools around the corner. So many of us had to walk to and from school every day, rain or shine. I know you’ve told that story. (Laughter.) And in Chicago, where I was raised, we did it in the dead of winter. (Laughter.) No shoes on our feet — it was hard, but we walked! (Applause.)”
Hardly humble: Michelle’s childhood home in Chicago
“Michelle was from a middle-class family,” confirmed one of her long-time friends, Angela Acree.
“She came from a regular family. They had a nice home. It wasn’t a mansion, but it was just fine. It was a decent neighbourhood.”
No one could pretend they were rich and it is true that her father, Frasier Robinson, spent some time as a maintenance worker for Chicago’s Department of Water Management.
However, he was a good deal more than the labourer that many seem to imagine.
Indeed, according to family friends, Michelle’s father was a volunteer organiser for the city’s Democratic Party, a by-word for machine politics in America, and his loyalty was rewarded with a well-paid engineering job at Chicago’s water plant. Even before overtime, he earned $42,686 - 25 per cent more than High School teachers at the time.
“Two buttocks enter, one buttocks leave.”
Can you envision the feeding frenzy which would occur in the media if Nancy Reagan or Barbara Bush addressed a white convention and spoke only to white concerns?
We have a racist president and first lady, which in the good old days would have booted them out of Washington!
Something is definitely wrong with the way our voting laws have turned. The people are dumbed down by the public schools, brainwashed from kindergarten on up with the party line, or these two would never have dazzled the star kissed masses to vote them into office!
A president is to be president to ALL of the people rather than playing the race card to divide the country into a vulnerable position in order to advance his far leftist agenda!
