Blacks Are Getting Fatter
A new study by the Center For Disease Control indicates that 36% of all black people are considered obese. I would probably have to agree with that satistic. The next time you are in a mall, airport, or bus terminal, take a good look at the asses of the black people walking by. Many are huge. Some women have convinced themselves that their fat ass looks good.
There are many reasons why blacks a disproportionately obese. First, we were forced to eat the worst food imaginable for over 400 years. Cornpone, neckbones, pigs feet, chitterlings. If slaves were caught with ham or chicken they were severely beaten. After slavery, blacks gained access to better food, were able to raise crops and hunt. They often ate to excess when food was available because you never knew when it would be available again. Because spices were scarce, most vegtables were seasoned with fatback.
Currently, Blacks are still at the bottom of the economic ladder resulting in higher consumption of cheap, fast food. The CDC need only visit a Black or Carribean owned supermarket to see why we are so obese. The meat department features neckbones, pigs feet, oxtail, chicken feet,and chitterlings. It is cheap and plentiful. Fatback is sold by the pound. The Black neighborhoods are filled with liquor stores, fried chicken joints, and BBQ stands. The churches sell fried catfish on Saturdays for the building fund.
And it all tastes GREAT!
