Here is the link to the ridiculous article based on a stupid study.

Quote:

There are many reasons why an increasing number of people are classified as obese - and now racism could be one of them.

Frequent experiences of racism are associated with a higher risk of obesity among African American women, a new study claims.

Anyway, here is Philochko's (aka that black guy who teaches English in Russia who speakeasy and myself subscribe to) response. He'd fit in well round here, as I think I've told him.

Quote:

If the average black man from America were to come to Russia, or the Ukraine, for like a month and then go back to America...Especially going back to the hood, and seeing all these obese women, you'd probably be just as disgusted at it as I am. It's disgusting, it's nasty.

That's the one thing that Russians know about Americans is that they're fat and ugly, especially the women.

Oh, on a side note the social engineers want to slam you kids for being 'racist'

White peoples fault.

Anything to avoid taking responsibility.

[megatron]

Anyone know the race of the people who made these announcements? I'm betting they're all White. And probably at least some are Jewish.

Liberal White People = Destroying Western Civilization at record pace!

[soup]

Megaton, what does being Jewish have to do with this?

Cultural leftism is but excuse-making through just-so narratives, Occam's razor and empiricism be damned.

From black scholastic and economic underachievement vis a vis whites, to Asian and Jewish overachievement vis a vis gentile whites, to male right-tail out-performance, to male vs. female differences in sexual behavior, and now black female obesity, there's always some excuse ready to go and goal-posts ready to shift--must be racism/sexism! If not stereotype bias! If not epigenetics! If not white/male privilege! If not some hiterto unidentified oppressive cultural factor!

How unfortunate that these things are some combination of unfalsifiable, unquantifiable, irreproducible, and/or have been outright demonstrated to have trivial effects.

Well said. It's based on emotion rather than logic. The delusional belief that everyone is 'equal' feels good to them. Unfortunately not everyone is equal leading to different results that require excuses to explain away.

"Oh, but men overwhelmingly dominate the top of every field because of the patriarchy and sexism."

This already disproves what they claim. How the fuck can women be exactly equal to men, but at the same time find themselves 'oppressed' by patriarchy across every culture in history? Surely the latter implies their inferiority. (Of course, in fact men and women are different but complimentary, and each are given obligations / 'oppressed' by nature / biology / reality, not the patriarchy.)

They then shut down any public debate by shouting "misogynist! sexist! racist! patriarchal oppressor! rapist!"

LOL someone got the cause and effect wrong on this one. The headline should have read: "Morbidly obese losers in life more likely to mistake men's disgust for racism."

Disclaimer: Haven't had a chance to look at the video.

Obviously the negative reactions these women face are due to their unappealing appearance, rather than their race. It's laughable that they cannot see this, if indeed they can't. I agree with the sentiment that charges of "racism" in America are generally made by people with a hidden agenda. More often than not by people who aren't even of the "victim" race. It's just bored journalists and "activists" who have no interest in the thing being bitched about. It is the act of bitching itself they are attracted to. As to why, I have no idea. I doubt even Freud could get the the bottom of those crazies minds.

But in the unlikely case it is an authentic sentiment:
Obese black women take note: Just because you are fat doesn't mean you must present yourself to the world as being stupid as well.

If by "Racism" you mean "McDonalds" then yeah, I agree.

[StrikeBack]

They weren't fat when they were actually living under real and serious racism (60s and earlier).

How come Indians aren't fat? They are at the very bottom of the Race totem pole.

[KC4]

Haha Indians in general are quite fat Vicious. Indian women hit the wall straight after marriage and men..... Well they never care to take care of themselves unless with a western mindset

[eradicator]

I am guessing it is probably poor diet and lack of exercise that makes black women fat.

Quote:

The participants were asked in 1997 and in 2009 to rate the frequency of "everyday" experiences of racism, such as receiving poorer service in restaurants and stores, and if they had been treated unfairly because of their race on the job, in housing or by the police ("lifetime" racism).

Here's the problem, you can't really "measure" racism unless somebody explicitly tells you "I don't like you because on your ethnicity". I got slow service yesterday while waiting for my order, but I don't think it was racism. You can't conduct a study based on highly speculative evidence.

[Mike5055]

When in doubt, assume racism... or sexism, or classism, or some other ism.

The victim mentality people have now is pathetic.

Yup . It start off early . I remembered gym consist of all the boys playing while girls try everything to not play . Results was some gym teachers would grade them if they get dress and basketball and badminton was the majority (which was used as an excuse by girls to not play ) . The same girls would constantly bragged about eating chinese food and fast food without gaining weight (due to overworked parent leaving them money , this leaves to not knowing how to cook ) . Now add a baby at 16 to early 20s and that body is done . Some girls get lucky after their first if they are extremely skinny or everything goes toward the hip . But the second is where the sticks turns into bushes and coco cola bottle morph into a donut . People complain about a bag of apples are 3 or 4 dollars but will stock up on .50 sodas , snacks , and chips . See this daily in the bodega .
