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.

    Oh, shut up, Deb. D

    Most of what I have to say on this subject has already been posted by my fellow readers.

    Deb. D. learn the difference between being fat and having a fat ass. And according to the new BMI measurements, more than half this country, including athletes in the best of shape are deemed "overweight."

    That is certainly not to say that Americans in general (not just black women) have weight problems. That is a fact. We are all fatter and so are our kids.

    But sorry, honey. Buffie is not fat.

    As usual you reveal your judgmental and ugly personality by admitting to harassing your co-workers about what they eat. As already mentioned, why am I not surprised that you would be THAT type of person.

    To sum it up, it seems you hate fat people as much as you hate black people, so what chance in hell does a fat, black woman have?

    Just shut it, Deb.
