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.

    Curves and morons

    I would say Curves is perhaps more on the lightweight side (I've never been a member there), but isn't it certainly a lot better than nothing? What would the moron rather have these people do, sit around on their ass watching TV? What does it take to make him happy? He'd probably see some overweight woman exercising out in public and comment on what a disgusting sight it was.

    Remember, he's even bitching about women who in his mind are going to be fat in the future! (Scarlett Johansen, for example). And if they're in perfect condition, they're still ugly in the face. So the fat issue is just a smokescreen--if women were all thin he'd just be bitching about something else about them.

    (No comment on being busted on the fake MBAs, by the way.)

    I actually would probably even agree with some of what you have to say, but your tone is vile and you completely lack insight and sensitivity...This has nothing to do with taking a stance against obesity, which I have no problem with at all--your comments on every subject you write about reek of nastiness,illogic and hypocrisy. You're just dumping your rage on everybody. Keep on making fake assumptions about me and claiming I said things I didn't say, even when people have access to everything I've written here (and you too). By the way, I forgot to blame the patriarchy again. Silly me.
