But I never would have suspected that for some people today, not hundreds of years ago, it is a deliberate cultural choice.
Well, I can’t read the article as it’s behind a paywall - but let me hazard a guess that their proposed ‘solution’ depends on massive nanny state intervention.
I still don’t like the implied threat of force coming from the government, but perhaps Michelle Obama may be partly on the right track after all, if she is intending to be a good example for black women getting healthier.
Don’t get me started...
There is no obesity epidemic. The media/left would like you to believe we have a crisis on our hands so they can tax you more. The reality is we are living longer than ever.
Black Women and Fat
I think they prefer the term "big boned".
It’s easy living I think.
Seriously?
It’ the same reason many whites in the south are overweight.
Chicken and dumplings with Mac and Cheese.
Did I mention biscuits and country gravy?
You don’t get much exercise riding in “carts” at Walmart, or parking in handicapped spaces at the front door.
Handicapped spaces don’t mean “mentally handicapped”——
THERE! I SAID it.
Wierd how MSN has pictures of two caucasians as their obese examples.
This thread is just dandy w/o pictures.
Well it’s obviously caused by white racism....
One of the resons white on black rape is negligible?
Look behind the scenes, specifically at the greedy corporate Spandex makers.
None of the governments business. Make sure everyone pays for their own crap and nobody would care.
If a conservative paper came out with this I think they’d cry ‘racist’.
“FOUR out of five black women are seriously overweight.”
Really, 80% of black women are fat?
American women, I presume.
Is this statistic brought to us by the same people who told us Super Bowl Sunday leads to an increase in men beating their women?
Those who always tell us that there are who knows how many millions of homeless people (when a Republican is president) all of whom mysteriously disappear when a Democrat is in office?
[Think about it, don’t you think there has probably been some increase in homelessness during the past 4 years? Or at least the borderline homelessness such as moving in with friends and family that will become an outrageous outrage as soon as the big O is replaced by a Republican?]
Are these the same people who categorized Tom Cruise as “obese”?
Are these the same folks who said there would be an epidemic of heterosexual AIDS cases?
Do these numbers come courtesy of Dr. Mann and the Global Warmists?
Do these people think a fetus is not a human?
Because THOSE people are a bunch of liars and not to be believed on any subject, including which side of the sky the sun will rise on tomorrow.
