I think that if we really want to do something about the obesity rates in this country then we should find a way to talk about it without mocking the fat people. It's counterproductive. We live in an era of the attack-dog pundit, where commentators would rather rip someone to shreds than actually engage in a discourse, or figure out how to fix the problem. Debra (who always writes bullshit like this) isn't helping black folks. And if she truly wanted to help us, why does she chose to publish in an online magazine whose readership is probably majority white? It boggles the mind.
But that's because she doesn't really want to help "us" she just wants to make a quick buck.
At least when Bill Cosby made his comments about black people and education, he made it to a black audience. You, Debra, don't care. You offer no solutions, you just mock and denigrate; you're like a house slave ratting on the field hands to the masta. (God I can't beleive I wrote that.)
I hate to hate on another woman of color, but this is the final straw. If you and Condeeleeza Rice were drowning, I think Condie's getting the rescue. If I can be bothered to jump in, that is, 'cause you know it might mess up my weave!
Sorry, I sound like an attack dog, but woman...you're ridiculous.
