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.

    attn: rebecalouise

    Y'know, you're right. I am hurting, so is Debra. We are people who know how tough it is to take care of a body. I'm hurting from my jog and lift yesterday. I'm hurting from watching obese children waddle down the street this morning. I'm hurting when I look into the eyes of a 300 pound 17 year old girl on the sidewalk. People like Debra and myself care about other people. We care about their health enough to hurt their feelings in its pursuit.
