Go vegan for your health. We don't need meat or dairy its absolutely unnecessary and it makes you fat. Eat healthy,feel good and live longer. Go vegan.
I think its Cultural differences.. we have a different definition of fat then whites but saw two ton teen he was white from texas I see more white people in those chairs then black so dont just jump on black women.. the 1000 pound man was black on tlc I dont know if u look at those shows.
True...Black people in general need to work out. Matter of fact, I've been seeing a lot of fat and porky black men these days too so black men don't think you can't learn from this message. You too can learn to put the burgers and ribs down and eat some vegetables and drink some water.
@CurlsNKinks1 True but when I go to the inner city and watch football, basketball, track...I sure don't see too many fat black kids, but I do see a lot of overweight black girls out there. Hell I saw a high school volleyball game on tv and they had a very thick black girl on there!!! Fat BM exist but there is no way in hell it's 70%, might be 55%, but that's about it. BW, I swear I don't see too many slim ones and if they are trust me they aren't single because it's so rare! Just being honest!
Does this have anything to do with soul food or corn starch? A block colleague of mine started eating corn starch b/c she said that it made her more in-tune with her ancestors. (i don't get it).
The tragic, out of control, soaring obesity rates in the black community with our sistas can be solved overnight beginning with one thing: cutting out this obsession we have with trying to make our hair look like white peoples'.
Cut out the perms and weaves, sistas. You're killing yourselves because of it.
And black women have completely played themselves to the point where I no longer find them attractive. They believe because they have on new clothes nails done hair done (wig) new care that they can be unhealty and men are suppose to accept it (Really)
You can argue with the statistics or the specific numbers all you want, but the facts still remain: black women are the heaviest, most obese group in the nation, period. No one even comes a close second.
Rather than being in denial about everything, we should do ourselves and our children a favor and meaningfully address this issue. Denial does more harm than good, and only serves to further these tremendous problems up to and including death.
me I also grew up on the so called soul food the greasy fried stuff but now I've lost tons of weight and I feel great I have also cut most of the greasy food out also milk since it bothers my stomach I like Soy Milk its good. I also had to get to the root why was I overweight and i found out because in a way maybe i did not love myself as much as i should have and also I was eating my feelings so now i just write them or speak them out makes me feel much better then just keeping them in.
Also black ppl not just women lack knowledge. It's 2 much info out there 2 not know. That's what the internet is for. An outreach to gather info and research. Black ppl want 2 b told everything instead of doing it on our own. How about we research why there are more fast food, corner stores, and liquor stores in black neighborhoods. But we will just sit back and blame the white man. We do it 2 ourselves black ppl, WAKE UP. TIME FOR A CHANGE PPL WITH HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND LIVING! IT'S OUR FAULT
I don't agree with statistics either but in America alone ppl are obese. As a ppl we need 2 help one another. As far as black women treat yourselves a lil better and stop worrying about how yall body look as in being thick. A real man can careless how thick u are. Are u healthy and fit is the question? And I agree with the fitness videos there are no blacks in fitness.I'm actually working on my personal training certification and I'm a young black male.
@mUzIkbOIjOjO there are lots of black people in fitness. Maybe this is a problem in the US but i live in the UK and every gym I've been to, fitness instructors are mostly black, the best athletes are black and black people are just as into exercise and fitness as other races, if not more into it from my experience. speak for yourself not all black people.
BMI or no BMI, there's no rational reason why females should weigh more than NFL linebackers! They're just completely clueless about how they look or what its doing to their health.
These women need to learn to just leave all those accessories, hair weave and junk in the store. Put on jeans and a T shirt, put their hair in a pony tail, but attain and maintain a sensible, sexy, trim and in-shape figure.
Nothing looks better than that.
Your health -- and bank account -- will thank you.
BMI was ... I guess you'd say, "debunked" a while ago. BMI isn't an accurate gauge of who is over weight. But I still believe 80% of Black women are obese, since over 50% of ALL Americans are obese. I see overweight Black women everywhere I see Black people. Plus, Black media glorifies so-called "thick" women. And in addition, income is a factor, with a lot of Black people under the poverty line and a lot of obese people under the poverty line as well.
True depending on your paradigm of overweight since i am slim n my upper body and a size 11 in my hips that to me doesnt qualify me to be fat but in black culture thats how u r supposed to be built n oh yea i am a vegatarian so its 100% genetics. Even my doctor told me. Bt when your midsection is big that qualifies you to be fat.
The main reason for rising obesity rates in the US is that we are now importing more fat, sick, illiterate, impoverished immigrants from 3rd world countries than any other nation on earth and then we give them food stamps!!! The fattest people in America are Blacks, Latinos, and Pacific Islanders. Just look at any life insurance actuarial study or mortality table. Latinos are the fastest growing segment of the US population, and the majority are poor, sick, illiterate and obese.
Compare this video with the video called "Top 10 Reasons Black Women are the Enemy?" If you cannot take care of yourself, how are you qualified to take care of your children and please your man?
@vincent1564 Many overweight black women are "well qualified" to take care of their children, and do so on a daily basis...so what are you talking about? Black women (women period) should strive to be healthier for themselves, but it's not an overnight success....it takes time.
Top 10 reasons black women are the enemy.....what a bunch of foolishness!
@vincent15641 I never watched the video....the title alone is an obvious bunch of CRAP and, therefore, a complete waste of my time! Don't try to insult me, because you already insulted yourself through buying into that pointless video.
@eracism09 You are the type who would be on a jury and just convict a man without listening to the case. So don't be surprised if karma does the same thing to you!
(cont'd) ...And never offer food advice to afro women if you don't wanna get cursed out. We as a group spend far to much money on hair, rims and such stuff. But often time complain at the cost of purchasing quality food (e.g. free range, grass fed beef). The cost of putting crap in your body is far higher. Our food intake should be based on the pale diet. Google it or find it on Wikipedia.
Answering the question posed: Yes, I believe that 80% of black women are obese. Why? Diet too much processed food (e.g. Subway). When I eat plain raw vegetables (e.g. broccoli, carrots, cauliflower...) I never failed to get an uninvited comment from a black women. Yes raw vegetables taste good once you cleansed your palate of crap. Exercise and stress, how many afro people you see walking in a park enjoying nature.
In the UK I think it's higher. I don't give a fuck about the stats we know we have the worst health and eat the most unhealthy foods, now it's time to fucking admit the facts! When your to big to make love your in trouble because man will go elsewhere.
@cgiwattgrrl99 I think it's a matter of where one lives. Where I live, it's a fricking epidemic with overweightness in women and girls (of all ages). You can't go anywhere where I live and see a huge and sloppy overweight black female in abundance. Some of these same chicks will look at somebody like me and hate because I put in the work and decipline to keep myself healthy and looking good. Our people are terribly ignorant and broken and if we don't do something (on every level) WE ARE DOOMED!
@outofthisworldgurl so true.They also need to stop it with the long freddie kruger nails.It looks just crazy .respect oneanother and support eachothers.How many times have you started a new job and the one black person there gives you a hard time.stupid ni--ers.They hate so easily.
I think those stats are about right more specifically in the south. 8 out of ten blk women here in ATL seems overweight or obese. ITS RARE TO SEE A SLIM OR PHYSICALLY FIT WOMAN IN THE HOOD. LOL,...
@Mrepifany I live in Cali and I can tell you it's probably 60-70%, of course we are a lot more fit out here but I would say the majority of BW are overweight. I will say in certain places in LA, fat people don't really exist, lol. I was in a part of Santa Monica the other day and I didn't see one fat person! Black, whites, Mexican...so I think you are right, different areas will have different results.
@lamareaton thanks for the cali perspective. i have heard rumors of how thin and good looking the people in some parts of santa monica are...i think the further south east you go the more obese americans in general become for some reason, i think has a DIRECT connection to finances as well.. because the further south you go the POORER ppl are as well. Where i live in georgia is upper middle class and the blacks here are NOT fat, but in the poor areas like EASTPOINT, they are almost ALL OBESE.
I see a couple of people mentioned how the BMI and race play a part, but that's what we are talking about....why do we as black people keep coming up with excuses? The BMI is for all people no matter of race!!! The plain fact is if you are a female 5'6" 160 with a big ass, people may find that average, some may find that sexy, but the truth is it is not as healthy as being 140! There is no way to fight it, it's the damn truth. We have to stop making excuses or this problem will get worse.
Yeah, but we must keep in mind that the BMI is very Eurocentric in nature. Not all women are built like toothpicks. Some women are naturally curvaceous. However, you're right. There is a difference between being curvaceous and being fat-as-hell. I feel that some black women mistake the two. I feel that some black men mistake it as well.
@Iwowzers57 I'm not deprived , stopped eating meat and dairy years ago. I hope you are only eating grass fed beef and organic chickens etc. Factory farming has taken over in America and the animals are treated brutally and kept in nasty conditions. They are fed antibiotics, hormones and pesticides in mega doses. You should look at the info on YouTube on Factory Farming, it will make you think twice about eating and meat. I am slim and trim and feel great.
We have to move our bodies, and stop eating dairy (yes, no cheese) and animal flesh (all fat). Google about food, disease, and obesity and what the following have to say: Dr. Campbell, Dr. Afrika, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Fuhrman, and John Robbins just to name a few.
@xXLikeAbosSXx09 You should do research. It's dangerous to eat dairy, and meat for a lot of reasons. I urge you to check out what the experts are saying. Truth is it's a slow death: you get diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and numerous other diseases and it takes 30 years or more before your system just can't cope anymore with all the poisons. Obesity is an acid body and acid comes mainly from meat and dairy.
@xXLikeAbosSXx09 Ethnicity wise??? Well BMI isn't based on race, just height weight and age. But I just googled proper weight and height and came up with several sites that said 99-121 for 5'2" was the proper weight. Once again not trying to start anything, I'm just saying, when I state that I can bet you most black folks are like that's not right, that's too skinny but that's what we are talking about. If you are 5'6" 160 and a BW that is seen as perfect to most blacks when its not.
@lamareaton well i heard that when you put a white female and a black female together and they're the same size, the black will probably weigh more because alot of the time the black one has more butt. then again idk.
@xXLikeAbosSXx09 Well I'm not saying BW should want to have WW bodies, I'm just saying being THICK isn't ok, it's not healthy. Why BW and BM feel that is attractive to me, just shows how screwed up we are when we feel being unhealthy is attractive!!!! But to answer you question, BMI and what you should weigh is not different by ethnicity. And to prove that, Africans in Africa have more similar bodies to Europeans than us fat ass overweight Americans! Most of them are slim and trim!
@lamareaton define what u consider to be "thick" everyone has a different view as to what is thick & what is not. when i think of thick i think of a flat stomach, toned or semi toned thighs, arms & butt.i personally dont want to be a size 3 nor do i think i can even get down to that or even want to be slim. besides those are the people in africa. their life style and diet is different and they probably have to work alot harder than a majority of americans do. & im not fat nor do i look ovrweight
@xXLikeAbosSXx09 Hey I'm not trying to start anything, not calling you fat or anyone. Americans are fat compared to other countries and compared to what is a healthy weight, BW just happen to be the fattest group. To me it's not attractive and we it's not healthy. We need to change how we think, how we eat. It's funny how we Americans are so fat that we make fun of skinny people, lol. I've heard you are too skinny so many times, but do you ever hear "your too fat"? That's how screwed up we are!
@lamareaton its all good & true.&i rarely even hear people make fun of skinny people where i live at. they almost always make fun of fat people the most. like at the college i attend, almost everyone in that class is like obese literally( like you can tell physically) . except for 5 people (including my self) and my class is basically nothing but hispanics & white people :x.but that aside i do agree with your statement though. i just tend to cut out alot of fast food but i can't afford organic.
Wow I know 70% of BW are overweight but I didn't know 40% of BW were obese!!! So if you took 10 BW and lined them up, 4 would be at least 20% over the normal weight! That is crazy!!! So only 60% of BW are not OBESE? We aren't talking fat, OBESE? WOW!!!
@lamareaton Not really surprising. Its the lifestyle, lack of health knowledge, habits and environment that causes it. We need to retrain our way of thinking. And if you think the 40% number is bad, its actually over 50%. That's right. one out of every two black women is not just fat but obese. Personally, I'd welcome the day when we turn this around and stop with all the denial, finger pointing and otheridiocy. The problem isn't going away by itself.
Don't no no matter what nobody thinks about us cause the men in the Black community love big women so we ain't got no nothing to be worrying about cause we happy
its 104 million white women and 22 million black women.....they say 80%blackwomen are obese/overweight and 56% white women overweight/obese that means that WHITE women make up the majority because whats 56% out of 104 million?? im not that good at math but i know its more then 80% out off 22 million. dont forget that 73% of latina women are obese/overweigh thats almost neck in neck with 80% of blackwomen. bottom line is women in general need to live a healthier life style to live longer.
@mrblackalchemist yes but i didn't do anything wrong.....all i said was women in general need to maintain a healthy life style to live longer......if u find that to be stupid then im sorry for you....here's a tip for you.....layoff the computer, go mingle, and stop looking for an excuse to be so mean.
@shandiraprice What u aren't looking at is the # for young adults.65% of WW grow up to be overweight, while 84% went on to be overweight! That means in their prime mating years BW are overweight. BUT WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT IS, this tells you why BM WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL AT A HIGH RATE DATE WW OR NON-BLACK! Successful men of ANY race don't have to settle and because in the US MOST MEN are attracted to slim women,do you see why BM who don't have to settle date WW at such a high rate?
@shandiraprice As you said before you see a lot of BM with fat WW, but not more than BM with fat BW. HOWEVER!!!! WHAT IS THE RATE OF SUCCESSFUL BM WITH NON-BW, THAT IS THE QUESTION!!! LOOK AT THE ATHLETES, ACTORS, SUCCESSFUL BM, AT A HIGH RATE, THEY ARE WITH SLIM NON-BW! AND THOSE BM WITH BW, THEY ARE ALL SLIM!!! I stress this point because the lack of SLIM BW is the reason why successful BM date WW or non-BW. I don't know why this isn't talked about more?
@lamareaton to be honest everyone is blowing this whole interracial relationship out of wack......yes it maybe true that blackmen date outside his race more then blackwomen and within the last few years blackwomen dating interracially has nearly tripled BUT over 90% of everyone date/marry within their own race. but i do agree with you, more minority women should main-tain a healthier life style. believe it or not many of us dont know how to go about eating healthier or counting calories.
Right. Guys claim they "like" these obese women to save face. They can't do any better so they pretend to like what they CAN have.
Poor black dudes pick fat women of any persuasion, whether black, white, etc. But when they become affluent you'll note they'll pick the same 120-140 lb women everybody else wants.
When your options become open, your choices do too. Money has a way of opening your field of options.
Folks keep saying liking obesity is a black thing. Bullshit. Its a ghetto thing.
I will keep saying this, one of the reasons so many successful BM (rich, educated, athletes, superstars) date non-BW is because of weight. The majority of BW are overweight, but man WW are health nuts. You tell me who looks better the average 40 year old WW or average 40 year old BW? I'm talking body, not face just who looks healthier? You guys may not want to believe it but BM are like MOST MEN, we like: Pretty face, slim waste, big ass, big tits, pussy that is great. Most BW lack the slim part
@lamareaton most of the time when i see a blackman with a non black women she is normally fat the only time i see a blackman with an attractive white women is if he's rich.
@mrblackalchemist well say what you want....im sexy as hell, i have a nice brown skin complexion, and i can and always have been able to attract any man of any race
@shandiraprice Yea but they aren't the cream of the top women, they are just average men and women. When have you seen a good looking brotha with a fat white woman? A successful or rich one? The regular cats can't get one, but trust me they want a slim woman. If you are successful, pretty boy you will not see a BM with a fat woman and chances are because BW are so heavy, he is going to have to date outside their race. Do your own survey just look, BW are heavier than non-black.
@EnvelopedInDarkness i wish i could show my man....we are both college students and we are both sexy....im short (5'2) with caramel brown skin and he 6'1 with lean muscles, with beatutiful green eyes, and goldeb blonde hair and with no felonies
Depression amongst other things contributes to this. Black women have a bad habit of eating whatever they like without thinking about the repercussions. Fried Chicken, Hamburgers, sodium filled foods. "Soul Food" isn't something you should be having everything other day. Especially when you don't work out.
@eracism09 My point is that refering to people as "nasty" doesn't contribute to the solution...it doesn't seem that you care much about the community at all when you degrade black women based on their weight!
@eracism09 being a fat black girl is nasty.i don't want no fat girl.Evertime i go to the gym and work out.all i see is white women.and im only 17.all the black girls are fat at my school.dam neat all of them.
Yes. It's true. Like you said look around. If I were to go to the grocery store, I would see more overweight black women than fit ones. Excuses are the reason this number is so high. Oh we're big boned people. White women are overweight too. I for one am so sick of every time there is the only black woman in a movie or tv show, she is overweight.When there is one black woman on the show, she is representing all of us. Then she's fat, and all the other women are fit. Look at Glee and other shows.
What difference does it make if "they" are singling black women out? At the end of the day the fact STILL remains that 80% of bw are overwieght. The whole "we're not the only ones" line is gettin old as shit. Yea, Sally is overwieght too, but I dare u to tell me you don't see Becky in her spandex gear and ipod running up and down the block...
Bottom line, MOST(80% remember) bw are just lazy carefree women that don't give a damn about their health.
60% of Americans are overweight, the highest percentage in the world. Look at what you eat and drink, there is the cause, and also how you think. You put food in your body just like you put gas in your car. Eating should be a spiritual and sensual experience, and it's not in the US. The difference between an American woman and a European woman who wants her child to eat: the American woman will tell him/her: "eat! it's good for you!". The European mother will say:"eat!, it's good!".
YEs they are !! It may even be a higher percentage. You said it your self. When you went out you saw a lot of em. I see it every day. They are huge !! Monique told em to eat what they wanted and it's cool to be big. Then she lost weight and got married. Flipped the script !
Girl, in the UK, black women are taking on the same parameters in terms of size, particularly the young black women here. However, this is prevalent in what is termed "urban areas", lots of chicken take out shops, pizza, chinese take outs predominantly in one area. In particular, the ladies eat and do little exercise and all you see are hips, butts, large arms and thighs and their faces take on an almost genetically modified look and to my mind, this is because the food is full of chemicals.
factory grown chicken is full of water, different to organic or free range chickens which are fed a more natural diet. factory grown chickens are fed garbage which in turn we eat, the chicken does not mature organically and basically the muscle in the chicken is just water which comes out during the cooking process!
I wouldn't agree that 80% of african-american women are obese or overweight, I'd say that would proportionally that would be by particular areas not overall.
Many people think that the eating of factory grown chicken is a good thing. Factory grown chicken can be a very nasty thing and ruin people,s health as it piles on tons of blubber aro0und the middle (wasteline) of people regardless od race.
And another thing is that Black women eat too much processed foods and there are too many fast food restaurants in our neighborhoods... Something has got to give... I'm really getting depressed with the state of Black Women. I
I agree, it's not a hype, we (Black Women) are overweight. I live in Chicago and my husband and I notice that there are too many Black women overweight...The stomachs are huge even the ones without children. My guess is that WorkingOut is in style for other races, and for us "working out" is added to that 'trying to act white' category.. So less and less of us engage in it... And not to mention that in AA neighborhoods there is a limited # of grocery stores.
I've never seen it opined anywhere here that it's "just about us." what I have seen -- and what is unmistakably and unarguably true -- is that black women are by far the most obese group in the nation. And that's saying something when you consider that, as you have intoned, America on he whole is one of the most obese places on Earth. Black women, at a 5' 4" average height weigh in, on average, the same as the average 6' 1" NFL football player. That's insane.
The USA have the mist UN healthy people in the World. Not just us of color. Dam they try to put evrything on us. Ok true we do need to watch what we eat. But I done seen some big white bitches stomping around wit not a care in the world. Chile plz it's not just us.
We need to cut out the "we aren't the only ones who are fat" routine. Yes, others are overweight. But no other group in the US is overweight to the degree, number, proportion or percentage as black folks, and as our women are in particular.
White women are overweight, but a lot more of them are only over by a few pounds, while black women are notorious for being over by the weight of an entire human being.
Stop the silly comparisons. They only serve to deflect from the real issues.
what i want to know is when it comes to statistics mentioned on this site, why is it that black women are singled out for everything that affets the entire world?
We also got to understand white body chemistry is NOT the same as black body chemistry. So a weight that is acceptable for a white women for example might be completely different from a weight that is acceptable for a black women. Our bones are a lot densier then theirs. Doctors don't consider that though.
@Oweboy1960 I agree but a 200-250 lb female isn't a body chemistry issue its obese by any standard of measurement or comparison. There are way, way too many obese sistas today. Body chemistry differences do not explain that or make it right.
@Oweboy1960 LOL!!! That's laughable. You think there's a white or black "body chemistry" explanation justifying 200 and 300 lb. women? Please tell me you're joking. NOBODY could be that insane.
Here's a novel idea: how about we all stop with the deflecting, and start taking the soaring obesity issue so rampant with our sistas seriously. All this off the wall, ludicrous excuse-making is doing way more harm than good.
Not justifying anything. I agree with you, I was just throwing some facts out there. A lot of people don't realize how different our bodies really are compared to Caucasians.
Its the hormones in the food,eat orgainc meat or don't eat it at all.Steroids are used to fatten up conventional meat.Look at an old episode of Soul Train people were so skinny they looked like toothpics.There was no huge people like you have now.
BLACK WOMEN FEEL THATS WHAT BLACK MEN LIKE. A THICK WOMEN WITH THUNDER THIGHS, BACK FAT AND ROLLS. THEY DONT MAKE AN EFFORT TO LOOSE WEIGHT, BECAUSE ITS JUST NOT A CONCERN FOR THEM THEY FEEL ITS ACCEPTABLE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT WAY EVEN THOUGH ITS UNHEALTHY. I DONT THINK ITS CUTE OR HEALTHY. ITS ALWAYS BLACK PEOPLE THIS BLACK PEOPLE THat. lets get it together!!
i dont think its true i mean according to the weight chart women like beyonce is overweight so you really have to sit back and just think..what do they consider to be overweigh.if you were to see me then you will probably say that im a slim girl but according to ''america's'' weight chart im about 10 pounds overweight. so sometimes i wounder if i were in Africa will the idea weigh change or not. in my opinion the idea weight on the chart is a bit too skinny. women like J-LO is consider plus size
@lexingtonann im 5'2 and i weigh 135 but i have a big but but a really flat stomach......but according to the weigh chart im suppose to weigh 125.......im not talking bout women who are obese im just speaking on women who are so called over weigh.....women that we consider sexy with coke bottle figure are most likely over weight according to weight charts. a few years back beyonce said that she was in a size 12 and she's only 5'4 so she is a think chick...and thats what they call over weight.
Weight is not as important as Body Mass Index if you weight 160 but are 40 percent body fat u will look worse then a women who is 180 but 10 percent body fat@shandiraprice
@theabomation i kno but when u look at the weight chart it doesn't say all that,a friend of mines showed me a website that claims that even though blackwomen are so called the most over weight that they contain more good fat compared to a white woman thats over weight,whatever thats suppose 2 mean, so i dont really believe america's standard of overweight because if u ask me they want everyone 2 be 2 skinny..i've seen women with beautiful curvy coke bottle bodies that they would call overweight
IQ has everything to do with NATURE not NURTURE (not that you would know that.) Black women are just inherently more intelligent than black men, nothing to do with how they were raised. And I wouldn't waste a second watching any of your idiocy.
Lol you're a BLACK male so you should talk to anyone about thinking or intelligence at all. Studies and statistics have shown that African Americans are the only race in which the females have significantly higher IQs than males. You mad. hahahahaha
AirForceGirl05 There's also a study that says that black people have lower IQ's than anyone else. People will put studies out that will make black people look bad or make one gender feel that they have it better than the other. Divide and conquer! Have you heard of the study saying that black males are considered more attractive than black females? Should us black women be mad about that? No. What black males and females should do is ignore the dumb shit. Cause that's really what it is. Bye.
@gmcmim1 exactly. people are so gullible. Its all a tactic to turn black people against each other and folks are just eating it up. I've seen more overweight whites than blacks. This racist country is majority white and everyone knows the majority of this country is overweight. DON"T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ.
Folks who spew the "we ain't the only ones who are fat" mantra are beyond reach. If you spend five minutes around black folks and seriously try to say 8 out of 10 aren't overweight, no amount of facts are going to open your eyes. Whatever your personal reasons are for being in denial, know it's a catastrophe among our people foremost. If that's not enough for you I don't know what is.
Black women are lazy as hell. All they do is sit on their 500 pound ass, watch tv, and collect welfare. Maybe if they actually got their half ton ass to the gym, they would lose some weight. But no... they fucking take our tax dollars to collect welfare. Fuck they ugly, obese, aggressive niggers. White women are the way to go.
America is obese people!! Not just black women!! Black people make up only 13% of the population...black women make up even less than that! They did a survey and that fattest state was maryland!! Not evena densely minority populated state! Are a lot of blacks fat? Hell yha! But so are a lot of other races. Remember its says more than 60% of americans are either overweight or obese..thats americans, not just black who are only 13% of population. Wow, there are some ignorant ass comments here
Well, thank god I'm not overweight, but I also work hard on my body and watch what I eat, which is hard, because I love all kinds of foods but eat it in moderation. I work out in my home four times a week.
Black women are the scum of the Earth. They are Angry, Evil, Baggage-Carrying, Selfish, Blasphemous, low-quality, Nappy-headed Scoundrels who have destroyed the Black family. Notice how this Cow is on here perpetrating that fake-ass smile. It (this cow) is doing this to try to hide the Evil within it. Black women failed themselves. No other race of man is adequately attracted to these cows to save them from the increasing 70% of them being single. The black Family is extinct thanks to the cow !
Im 20, 5'4 and 125 lbs, yet Im viewed as "too skinny" or "unhealthy" by my own race. I live in a predominately white area where Im told differently by people of all races. Sad truth is health isn't as important accessible to poor people. This is the main reason why you mainly see people in the ghetto praising "thickness." That's what's around them. I might offend a few, but Im going off facts, not a bias opinion.
@nevawrong ( the majority of Black women i see are fat, even in the clubs in Newyork )
I guess not only did southern music killed the rest of the country..but liking fat ass broads.. is killing the country, all these down south guys love fat hoes..o.k a nice curvy body is beautiful because I have one.. but a damn fat stomach and butt is nasty..but these down south guys like it. So its really the men (mainly southern hip hop, talkin about big butt, or she thick, has gas the broads head
I like this video. I have been tracking this for a while like 5 years and It's true. Every place you go like Wal Mart or any public place with black women 8 out of 10 are overweight. My definition of overweight.
Flabby grandma arms. Stomach that hangs or is out there. A huge roll or multiple rolls. Thighs that always touching and a heavy look in there face. Serious play the game and see how many you see. I hope it changes but the "love me for me" era is making it hard for them.
Well overweight is one thing but obesity means you have at least 30% body fat. That's for anyone regardless of height. And about 70% of black women are overweight while 56% are obese. I did a study for a health food TV show I was pitching, went through all the demographics of people state by state and race by race.
AMERICAN WOMEN ARE 'ALL' NARCISSISTIC AND A GOOD PERCENTAGE OF BLA-FRICAN WOMEN ARE BASTARD KIDS.THEY HAVE BASTARD KIDS AND CHOOSE TO LIVE ON WELFARE,COLLECT SSi WHICH IS DESTROYING THE SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME FOR THE HARD WORKERS OF USA WHILE THEY SIT AROUND ON THEIR FAT ASS GETTING THEIR HIDEOUS UNSANITARY FINGER NAILS PAINTED.YOU USE THE WORD "AFRICAN" LIKE ITS A CONTINENT OF DISTINCTION.GET OVER YOURSELVES AND STOP THE CRYING WHERE YOU 'THINK' YOU CAME FROM AND BE GRATEFUL TO BE IN AMERICA.
The booty of an African American woman is amazing and cannot be matched, but when the desire of the large round booty is placed over heath concerns then there is a problem. If you compare Africans of the Diaspora in other first world countries Africans in America are dying at higher rates. From illness that are a result of obesity, which to needs to stop. I could with live a smaller booty woman, to have more time with her smaller booty.
.We need to stop ignoring the information that is available, just because the information is collected and aggregated by someone who does not look like us. This foolishness is killing us; the obsession with curves is killing. 80% is correct number and this is how it was calculated .first you find the gross population number. With that you can formulate a random selection number that will properly represent the whole population. So 80 % of African-American women are obese and dying.
Let's be real, THE STANDARD OF BEAUTY IN THE US IS SLIM, ATTRACTIVE! That is for every man! When have you seen a Black/White/Hispanic...athlete or superstar entertainer with a chunky or fat woman? Yes you have seen a few, but for every one you give me, I can give you 4 or 5 at least that are with a slimmy! Why? Because in the US the standard of beautify is being slim. That is why BW aren't what many successful men go after. If you do see a slim attractive BW, she's usually taken!
@lamareaton I completely agree. For an eye-opening vid check out youtube.com/watch?v=VZmXRp07Dhk Black celebrities into light skin and white women.
Now, they're complaining about skin color. But the real trip is almost NONE of the 50-60 women shown with these famous men is less than 150 lbs! And you gotta know some of them have been together for ages. So what happened to all this "thickness" everyone's talking about?
Its all BS. Once a brother comes up you'll see what his REAL choices are!
I agree, I just finished a paper about obesity in America, and I think that in a lot of black communities there are less grocery stores and more fast food places, and on top of that there is the hype in our culture about being "thick" or having a"big butt". On the other hand there are people may seem overweight but they are very athletic too.
Actually, for overweight people, the BMI is 25%, Obesity is 30% BMI...depending on height that is normally anywhere between 50 to 60 pounds overweight. That is the equivalent of a 4 foot 10 woman weighing 143 pounds. That isn't a "based on white people thing" it's just plain obesity.
ATTENTION NIGGERS, SPADES, COONS, PORCH-MONKEYS, SPOOKS: Niggers are the scum of the earth, useless to society and themselves and cursed by God (curse of Ham). The world would be a better place without this sub-human slave-race (less disease, criminals, laziness and stupidity)
P.S. YOU ALL LOOK LIKE THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF MY ASS AND I WANT TO USE YOU ALL AS TOILET PAPER….LOL!
if u use the european based model of what a proper bmi is, then the statistics for black women r probably that high. but if you take into acct ethnic origins and various body structures it's probably still high but not soooooooo dramatic. that being said the statics r too high regardless.
Its funny how many black folks don't seem to understand a simple thing: that "big booty" they're always talking about? Almost always is the FIRST indicator of future obesity. But they never figure that out, even after seeing it time and time again.
I've lived around black, and at other times, around whites. Each group has their own predilections and preferences; but being black myself, I've never understood all the focus on "bigness" and hugeness.
Why?
I give less a shit about a "big booty." If its big, it's just an indicator of future obesity to me. If a female cares to impress me, show me a small waist. Show me some tone, definition, trimness.
Proper consumption and exercise are key. Let the hoodrats have all that fat.
This study was posted in the Washington Post (as posted).
The BMI formula was developed in a Caucasian context. It is less accurate in non-white populations. A study involving a diverse population published March 2009 in the British Journal of Nutrition found this:
For people with the same BMI:
African American women have 1.76% less body fat than same-gender Caucasians.
The BMI is geared for whites, most black women don't want to be a size 0 or 6. Most Black woman would have to be a 30 or above to even see themselves as fat at all. I am 5'6 ,156 (size 8-10 or even a 6 depending of the brand name(jr. /womens sizes) , but the BMI says that I am overweight( by 2 lbs),so I would be included in that survey. The women you saw sound obese,but the study would have included "overweight" folks like me. ;0)
Not surprised considering the fact that damn near all fast food commercials are marketed to our people. They know we are poor so they put up the value menu's, they're trying to kill us off. Sadly, it's working.
And, yes. Nutrition plays a huge role in hair maintenence. Hair becomes brittle and can even fall out due to vitamin/mineral/overall nutrition deficits. Carvin Cole is on the money.
I'm sitting here speechless. I cannot believe someone is actually admitting blacks' hair is generally shorter than, well... just about any other group. Lol. Everybody knows it, but very few will admit to that.
Go vegan for your health. We don't need meat or dairy its absolutely unnecessary and it makes you fat. Eat healthy,feel good and live longer. Go vegan.

You can argue with the statistics or the specific numbers all you want, but the facts still remain: black women are the heaviest, most obese group in the nation, period. No one even comes a close second.
Rather than being in denial about everything, we should do ourselves and our children a favor and meaningfully address this issue. Denial does more harm than good, and only serves to further these tremendous problems up to and including death.

BMI or no BMI, there's no rational reason why females should weigh more than NFL linebackers! They're just completely clueless about how they look or what its doing to their health.
These women need to learn to just leave all those accessories, hair weave and junk in the store. Put on jeans and a T shirt, put their hair in a pony tail, but attain and maintain a sensible, sexy, trim and in-shape figure.
Nothing looks better than that.

BMI was ... I guess you'd say, "debunked" a while ago. BMI isn't an accurate gauge of who is over weight. But I still believe 80% of Black women are obese, since over 50% of ALL Americans are obese. I see overweight Black women everywhere I see Black people. Plus, Black media glorifies so-called "thick" women. And in addition, income is a factor, with a lot of Black people under the poverty line and a lot of obese people under the poverty line as well.

The main reason for rising obesity rates in the US is that we are now importing more fat, sick, illiterate, impoverished immigrants from 3rd world countries than any other nation on earth and then we give them food stamps!!! The fattest people in America are Blacks, Latinos, and Pacific Islanders. Just look at any life insurance actuarial study or mortality table. Latinos are the fastest growing segment of the US population, and the majority are poor, sick, illiterate and obese.

@lamareaton to be honest everyone is blowing this whole interracial relationship out of wack......yes it maybe true that blackmen date outside his race more then blackwomen and within the last few years blackwomen dating interracially has nearly tripled BUT over 90% of everyone date/marry within their own race. but i do agree with you, more minority women should main-tain a healthier life style. believe it or not many of us dont know how to go about eating healthier or counting calories.

Right. Guys claim they "like" these obese women to save face. They can't do any better so they pretend to like what they CAN have.
Poor black dudes pick fat women of any persuasion, whether black, white, etc. But when they become affluent you'll note they'll pick the same 120-140 lb women everybody else wants.
When your options become open, your choices do too. Money has a way of opening your field of options.
Folks keep saying liking obesity is a black thing. Bullshit. Its a ghetto thing.

I will keep saying this, one of the reasons so many successful BM (rich, educated, athletes, superstars) date non-BW is because of weight. The majority of BW are overweight, but man WW are health nuts. You tell me who looks better the average 40 year old WW or average 40 year old BW? I'm talking body, not face just who looks healthier? You guys may not want to believe it but BM are like MOST MEN, we like: Pretty face, slim waste, big ass, big tits, pussy that is great. Most BW lack the slim part

The regular cats can't get one, but trust me they want a slim woman. If you are successful, pretty boy you will not see a BM with a fat woman and chances are because BW are so heavy, he is going to have to date outside their race. Do your own survey just look, BW are heavier than non-black.

Depression amongst other things contributes to this. Black women have a bad habit of eating whatever they like without thinking about the repercussions. Fried Chicken, Hamburgers, sodium filled foods. "Soul Food" isn't something you should be having everything other day. Especially when you don't work out.

What difference does it make if "they" are singling black women out? At the end of the day the fact STILL remains that 80% of bw are overwieght. The whole "we're not the only ones" line is gettin old as shit. Yea, Sally is overwieght too, but I dare u to tell me you don't see Becky in her spandex gear and ipod running up and down the block...
Bottom line, MOST(80% remember) bw are just lazy carefree women that don't give a damn about their health.

60% of Americans are overweight, the highest percentage in the world. Look at what you eat and drink, there is the cause, and also how you think. You put food in your body just like you put gas in your car. Eating should be a spiritual and sensual experience, and it's not in the US. The difference between an American woman and a European woman who wants her child to eat: the American woman will tell him/her: "eat! it's good for you!". The European mother will say:"eat!, it's good!".

Girl, in the UK, black women are taking on the same parameters in terms of size, particularly the young black women here. However, this is prevalent in what is termed "urban areas", lots of chicken take out shops, pizza, chinese take outs predominantly in one area. In particular, the ladies eat and do little exercise and all you see are hips, butts, large arms and thighs and their faces take on an almost genetically modified look and to my mind, this is because the food is full of chemicals.

factory grown chicken is full of water, different to organic or free range chickens which are fed a more natural diet. factory grown chickens are fed garbage which in turn we eat, the chicken does not mature organically and basically the muscle in the chicken is just water which comes out during the cooking process!
I wouldn't agree that 80% of african-american women are obese or overweight, I'd say that would proportionally that would be by particular areas not overall.

I've never seen it opined anywhere here that it's "just about us." what I have seen -- and what is unmistakably and unarguably true -- is that black women are by far the most obese group in the nation. And that's saying something when you consider that, as you have intoned, America on he whole is one of the most obese places on Earth. Black women, at a 5' 4" average height weigh in, on average, the same as the average 6' 1" NFL football player. That's insane.

White women are overweight, but a lot more of them are only over by a few pounds, while black women are notorious for being over by the weight of an entire human being.

We also got to understand white body chemistry is NOT the same as black body chemistry.

The BMI formula was developed in a Caucasian context. It is less accurate in non-white populations. A study involving a diverse population published March 2009 in the British Journal of Nutrition found this:
For people with the same BMI:
African American women have 1.76% less body fat than same-gender Caucasians.
African American men have 4.59% less.
Hispanic women have 1.65% more.
Asian women have 2.65% more.
