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.

    Is Debra Dickerson blind?

    This article is offensive on so many levels I don't know why it was even printed. According to Dickerson anyone who does not live on spirulina and soy and work out incessantly is an unhealthy menace to society. Not only does she offend the vast majoity of us that aren't rail thin, but she also manages to offend other ethnic group's standards of beauty. I think Buffie has a lovely body, and for Dickerson to say she is obese makes it obvious that Miss Dickerson is an idealogue. Idealogues are blind, and you would have to be blind to say that Buffie is fat.
