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.

    Deb, Pleaseeeee.....

    Where do you people get this shit? Did I miss the email or something that got out a message that black me are attracted to big women?

    I'm a black woman and trust me, black men do NOT want big/large/fat women. Maybe after marriage a black man doesn't mind too much if Lashondra puts on a few pounds, but trust me - when a black girl is single, if she's fat she is invisible to men, all men, PERIOD.

    I'm totally aghast at the article. I was harrassed and insulted from kindergarden right up through high school because I was fat (not even obese, just fat). I was not, nor am I ugly, nor was I 'weird' in any way, just fat. Where the eff were the black men that 'like' fat arses when I was growing up?

    What a bunch of steriotyped bullshite.
