To the degree that this black fat preference is simply a determination to pooh-pooh anything "white," blacks need to grow up. If it's simply ignorance, well, now we know and when you know better you're supposed to do better. Sorry, brothers, but just as I learned to reject "hard bodies" that are the result of steroids, y'all need to reject "lard bodies" that are, at least in part, the result of slow suicide to please you.
Ok, now I'm supposed to only like black women's shape because I'm trying to reject white peoples preference? That is one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. A grown black man cannot simply like a certain shape for the shape? What the hell does steroids have to do with a big ass? If you really went to the gym as you said, than you'd know that many, many black women work out but the ass is still there. Hell, look at Serena Williams and as she says:
"If I lost 20lbs, I'm still going to have these knockers - forgive me - and I'm still going to have this ass. It's just the way it is. I'm the same size and the same weight I was five years ago."
Guess What Debra, there's a pretty good percentage of healthy black women who just happen to have big beautiful behinds.
