but i guess we can't fault her for trying. we know black women embrace their curves, even to the point of obesity, but you couldn't have chosen a worse candidate to take the fall than big booty judy. that "booty" means NOTHING. please wikipedia (i'm going to assume you already did and thought it was irrelevant to your point) steatopygia. IT IS REAL (also AMSA and some others pointed this out months ago....)
moreover, in choosing such a poor candidate to illustrate the problem of black female obesity you actually CONTRIBUTE to the problem. calling "sisters" out is NOT going to be any MORE popular than it was when Bill Cosby did the same thing a few years ago. sure its TRUE, but delivered in a manner that made everyone forget completely about the MESSAGE.
don't get me wrong, i'm GLAD you pointed this out, you just chose a really dumb way to do it.
(i'm also lol-ing at the claims she ate junk food to make her butt big. that's just ridiculous, as NOBODY can CHOOSE where their fat is going once it passes their lips!!! seriously, i'm ROTFLMAO here.)
