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.

    Rob:

    Actually, seeing a bit of what you look like reminded me quite vividly about the dangers of fighting on the internet.

    In "real life", if you spouted the hateful nonsense that you do here, in a crowd, in front of people, I'd probably just feel sorry for you and make excuses for you.

    That's just the kind of morally relativist bleeding-heart hippie I am.

    If people have been unkind to you, I'm sorry that you choose to perpetuate it by being unkind to others.

    Best of luck out there,

    Emily
