According to this website http://neebone.co.uk/featurettes/buffie-the-body/, at 157lbs and 5'7", Buffie is not obese, but normal. Inputting in her waist measurements (included in some BMI calculators) improves her BMI even more. There is no great danger from a big butt, and having a big butt does not mean one is fat. It is not quite clear why the author chooses to conflate two different topics (love of big butts, dangers of obesity in the African-American community)into one mess of a topic. I daresy the vast majority of black men, for better or worse, might prefer a large backside, but still don't want a woman who is obese. It is a very easy distinction to make, so it makes one wonder why the author struggles with it.
