Healthy, my ass

Many blacks love big women, but having a rump the size of Buffie the Body's can put women at risk for disease.

    DD strikes again!

    Once again DD doesn't seem to get a simple fact. This time it is that people like Buffiethebody have the bodies that they have due to genetics more so than through eating.

    Can DD write an article that doesn't trash people unreasonably or unfairly?

    This time it seemed like DD was auditioning for Meme Roth's job over at Fox. Let her go salon.

    I am considering canceling my membership until DD is taken off of salon, but that would be considered censorship, and I am against that. Still, can someone tell DD to stop writing articles about herself, and her trivial dislikes?

    I will give DD respect for pointing out the dangers of an unhealthy diet, but she didn't have to make her point at the expense of specific people such as Buffiethebody, and I was upset that she didn't mention how hard it is to struggle against genetics.
