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.

    Jealousy I Say

    Debra is just jealous. She was probably one of those no-ass sisters. Always resented it. I'm so happy this board rose in defense of the big booty. LOL! I will give Debra this though. There is a thin line between a women with a big ass and a big ass women. (See the movie Barbershop for more detail). Any women that's pass 160lbs is pushing it even at 5'10 like Tara Banks. I think most brothers think women between 125 and 150 are good to go. We tend to follow the rule "If it looks right. It's alright." ABC's 20/20 did a story about this a couple of years ago. I think what Debra is talking about is lot of this women are borderline obese and then they have a baby or get older and starts to eat a little more than when they were younger and the next thing you know they are 200lbs.
