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.

    She's Hot

    As a guy, I can say that Buffie is hot. I'm white, by the way, and not a big-butt fetishist.

    Our culture is just weird. There's medically healthy and athletic bodies, which some men find attractive. There's model bodies, which some men few find attractive. And then there's women in strip clubs and porn where the women tend to have more T&A. Men like pronounced T&A. It might be cultural, but I'll bet there's a big genetic component.

    In the end, people like what they like, not what they "ought" to like. Why is there all this discussion and scrutiny? I never read a long article exposing why people like potato chips or chocolate, or soft sheets and hot showers - but shouldn't - and criticising how it's ruining our culture.
