Study Discovers Why Many Black Women Are Overweight

According to the Office of Minority Health (which is financed with your money),

African American women have the highest rates of being overweight or obese compared to other groups in the U.S. About four out of five African American women are overweight or obese.

Black women are 80% more likely to be obese than non-Hispanic white women. Who can the authorities blame for this discrepancy?

Not poverty; people who know the true meaning of the word are not fat.

Bush might be at fault. But our rulers just used Bush to explain Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine. It’s best to mix things up a little.

Global warming? No good; people are still guffawing over the claim by Chipotle that global warming might cause them to stop using guacamole, despite the conspicuously cold winter.

An idle, undisciplined, self-indulgent subculture? Don’t be racist.

That’s it! The cause is racism:

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

Scientists found that women who were more frequently victimised for their race, were more likely to be obese.

The study, by Slone Epidemiology Centre at Boston University, found the relationship between racism and obesity was strongest among women who reported consistently high experience of racism over a 12 year period.

Our country elected its president primarily on the basis of his being black. In our culture, being perceived as disrespectful toward blacks is possibly the strongest taboo. Yet these enterprising scientists somehow managed to find black women with a “consistently high experience of racism.” Maybe they used a time travel machine.

An equally plausible theory would be that black women are fat because aliens who prefer the taste of their flesh have been sending down fairies from the Mother Ship to fatten them up with irresistible treats.

Where the government is run by liberals and controls medical research funding, this is what passes for science.

An enterprising lawyer will see a great opportunity here for a class action lawsuit. Considering the millions of fat black women, and the millions of whites who made them be fat, the sums involved should be enough to bring John Edwards back out from under his rock.

    As a hetero white male, I just knew it had to be my fault.

    I mistakenly assumed it was because they eat too much. I should have known it was my fault.

    Its the forks fault

    “According the Office of Minority Health” These six preceding words let you in on the fact that the message that follows will be fictional and the sole intention is humorous entertainment.

    Thank you. Someone had to point that out. It should be pointed out daily, like engraved on coins or something.

    Speaking of racism, did you know being honest is racist?

    “Tough loss boys but at least we can talk to our dads about it #mountvernon.”

    This is one of the tweets that was deemed to be ‘racist’, merely stating a fact.

    But let me start from the beginning. Apparently Mt. Vernon, with a large number of nonwhite students and players, played Mahopac, which I gather must be largely white if I’m reading this right.

    Apparently Mt. Vernon won.

    Then these things happened:

    1. “The Mount Vernon students were standing behind our cheerleaders saying ‘you are blank-haters’ and ‘I can’t wait until after the game,” said Thomas Manko, the superintendent of schools in Mahopac. “We’re going to pull your hair. We’re going to hit you.'” Manko said that Mount Vernon supporters allegedly shoved a Mahopac cheerleader.

    So just so we’re clear, the black Mt. Vernon students made actual threats of physical violence then proceeded to carry them out, yet this is not the focus of the story nor is it apparently considered important enough to bother with.

    2. Twitter shows that later that night some white Mahopac students tweeted the following about black Mount Vernon players: “That’s why you shouldn’t let monkeys out of their cages. #mountvernonzoo” and “Tough loss boys but at least we can talk to our dads about it #mountvernon.”

    So, as a result, Mahopac students now will get ‘sensitivity training’.

    “We will not tolerate the bestiality and racism that has existed too long in this country,” Mount Vernon Mayor Ernest Davis said a week after the game at a news conference to address the social media activity of Mahopac teenagers. “A bodacious outpouring of insults hurled at our future generation.” And not a word about the threats of physical violence and the actual violence that took place.

    Apparently the mayor is unaware of the definition of bestiality, too.

    Any thing that starts with “A new study found…: should be ignored.

    Micky “D” and KFC made them FAT!

    Have a look at some of the native African women with their enormous asses. I say it’s genetic. Even Michelle Obama with all her diets and keep-fit regimes still has a backside like the back of a truck!

  • slibbins

    The “obesity caused by racism” claim is based on the fact that the black women gorged themselves on white chocolate and marshmallows..

  • Buffalobob

    Actually I would blame the “fat” Oprah. SNL reference. I remember when she was on the feel good about yourself rant even if you are morbidly obese.

  • JAMed171

    Hey, don’t knock the theory until you give it a chance. Just tell black women to stop being racist if they want to lose… well… a ton.

  • Jester

    The only racism here is the researchers’ unspoken assumption that all black women somehow want to be skinny white women just like them. Any wagers on whether the researchers even KNOW any black people?

    I’ve known many blacks, and the last time I checked, they didn’t see overweight females as a bad thing at all…. and call me old-fashioned, but neither do I! ;-)

  • Leonard Jones

    The causation is not racism but welfare checks! I do not know how many studies
    have been done on this but most ended with “welfare mothers and their children
    are x times more likely to be obese.”

  • Seabass120

    I guess this explains Moochelle.

  • bobdog19006

    I’m so ashamed. I never realized that my uncontrolled racism was creating disgustingly fat black ladies. We just sit around at Klan meetings telling balck jokes and dreaming up schemes to oppress black people.

    What we need is yet another government program to shovel more money at inner city neighborhoods. So they feel better about themselves. Maybe reparations would help.

    Nonsense. I’m not having it. It’s clowns like Jackson and Sharpton who have been waving the bloody shirt for 40 years and making black folks feel like they’re victims. That and a couple of generations of white-guilt limousine liberals in Congress. What you subsidize, you get more of, not less.

  • Mark Daniel Johansen

    Blast, we’ve been found out! I can’t count the number of times that I and my racist friends have sat around at Tea Party meetings asking each other, “How can we trick black women into overeating?” Because you know, making black women fat is an essential component of any plan to bring back slavery. Obviously those nefarious plots have been even more successful than our last campaign, forcing young Chinese males to study math and science.

    It’s the hormones in the black female hair products. I’m not kidding. Look it up.

    The hair care products favored by black females, exclusively, contain certain hormones. Those hormones make the women fat as a side effect.

    I suspect a mostly welfare driven life with little meaning is often eased by the pleasure of comfort food. If we took a look at white women living in the same socioeconomic class as most African-American women we would find a similar result in obesity.

  • allencic

    Of course it’s your fault. And my fault too. That’s because in every situation, “We be racisssssssssss!

  • Christian Hagen

    Not sure I’m in agreement. Without scientific studies, we won’t learn about our world beyond “feels good/bad”.

    I do agree somewhat on avoiding things starting with that wording, as it presents itself as Veritas Ultima/Ultimate Truth. The findings of the report might support the conclusion of the scientists, but unless you are talking mathematics, there is no Veritas Ultima, only Veritas.

    What I guess I’m saying, is: Skepticism, checking the study; its sample base, its study framework, its stated intentionts, etc. is necessary. But to completely ignore it is to deprive yourself of information and let the study stand unchallenged, eventually leading to it being regarded as Veritas Ultima.
