"Is racism making you FAT? Victims of prejudice are at greater risk of obesity"

"Researchers found relationship between racism and obesity was strongest among women who were frequent victims of prejudice.
The study was based on the Black Women's Health Study, which enrolled 59,000 African-American women in 1995 and has followed them since.
Workplace and community-based programmes to combat racism are an important component in strategies to prevent obesity, one expert said."

"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." READ MORE

bagoh20 said...: I feed my dogs mostly raw meat, (it's better and cheaper than dog food) and I find it to be much cheaper at markets in the hood, so that's where I go to get it. Something that is really noticeable to me is that the people in these stores in the hood are very different physically and in the way they move and act. First, they (especially the women) are huge. I mean just incredibly obese to where I don't know how they even walk, crap or bath. The other thing I notice is that nobody is in hurry or seems to have any drive to get their shopping done and on to the next thing in their day. They seem to be just hanging out killing time. This is true of the young, old, and in between. There is something very much related to this and the poverty, I think. I was doing this yesterday, and I was struck that every single "minority" woman was very obese. The men were actually thin compared to most White guys, but the women were like a different species. This isn't my racist opinion, but just my racist observation of some racist facts about race.; March 13, 2014 at 12:28 PM
ndspinelli said...: The lower the income, the more obese in the US. It has NOTHING TO DO W/ RACE. It has EVERYTHING to do w/ income. Obesity in low income knows no race, all lower income people are fatter. That's why, as Trooper's biz became successful he lost 60 lbs.; March 13, 2014 at 12:36 PM

That's very much the old culture of the South, transplanted. Just yesterday my brother had a 25 minute conversation on local BBQ joints with the guy manning a car rental booth at Hunstville, AL airport. Try doing that elsewhere.; March 13, 2014 at 12:39 PM
ricpic said...: Racism makes you fat? Black women hate on the Swedish Bikini Team big time and yet the SBT stays thin. Wait....wait...I just realized blacks aren't capable of being racist. So...nevermind.; March 13, 2014 at 12:40 PM
Revenant said...: The study relied on self-reporting of racist incidents, so a more accurate description of the findings would be that *thinking* you are a victim of prejudice makes you fat.; March 13, 2014 at 12:50 PM
Rabel said...: But wait, there's more:

"According to a new study from the Slone Epidemiology Center (SEC) at Boston University, African-American women who reported more frequent experiences of racism had a greater likelihood of adult-onset asthma compared to women who reported less frequent experiences."

It's clear from these studies that the self-reported perception of racist treatment is killing black women. Therefore anyone who promotes that perception is an active participant in their deaths. Ergo, the leaders of the racial grievance industry are murderers.

Shouting Thomas said...: Has any topic in the history of humanity even been beaten to death more than racism?

I try not to get angry about this shit, but when people start with the racism bullshit, I want to poke out their eyes and beat their faces to a pulp.

The worse thing about this shit is that the kids have been indoctrinated by the schools that it is their duty to hunt down and denounce every racist deed and utterance until they have purified the world.

It never seems to occur to these assholes that that is just plain bad manners. People are sinners. We are guilty of all sorts of sins. Decent people know that this is an arena where live and let live should prevail. Unless you're sainted, shut up.; March 13, 2014 at 2:25 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: And, yes, white women with nasty twats are a serious social problem.; March 13, 2014 at 2:25 PM

Trooper York said...: This is a disgusting post worthy of the evil blogger lady at her nastiest twatiness.

What is obese to one person is generous curves to another. The brothers and I agree that you need a woman with some cushion for the pushin'; March 13, 2014 at 2:49 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: You're not missing much over at TOP, Troop.

Our favorite banished commenter who is the world's leading authority on racism held forth for hours on the vicious racism that caused the explosion at 116th St. and Park, which he called the "ghetto."

Much merriment ensued.; March 13, 2014 at 2:52 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: This is a disgusting post worthy of the evil blogger lady at her nastiest twatiness.

No shit, Sherlock!; March 13, 2014 at 2:58 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: And, I gotta agree, Troop...

Fat girls need love, too. They are often very nice.

I've had me some fat girls, and I loved 'em.; March 13, 2014 at 2:59 PM
Birches said...: The victimization of America continues...; March 13, 2014 at 3:02 PM
Trooper York said...: What kind of ghetto has million dollar condo's?; March 13, 2014 at 3:05 PM
Trooper York said...: Only a fool wants to hook up with a skinny boney twat who is worried about what she puts in her mouth. That is no fun, trust me guys.; March 13, 2014 at 3:06 PM
Icepick said...: Okay, so I've got between fifty to sixty pounds of discrimination against me, then. Does this mean I can tell Crack to shut the fuck up now?; March 13, 2014 at 5:06 PM
Chip S. said...: Absolutely.

You can also tell the oceans to calm and the winds to subside.

The Dude said...: Trooper has experienced tons of racism.; March 13, 2014 at 6:19 PM
Trooper York said...: Damn straight.

It ain't easy being a fat Irish guy over six tall with donuts crumbs on your shirt.

Everybody thinks you're a cop.; March 13, 2014 at 6:46 PM
Trooper York said...: Unlike Shouting sexy Filipino chicks do not offer to have sex with me for a green card because they think I will arrest them.

That shit ain't right.; March 13, 2014 at 6:47 PM
