As everyone know I am the resident fashion and beauty queen here at BB&W and although I love everything beauty and fashion, I want to address another side of the industry, health.
I can’t believe what I’m reading this Sunday morning in the New York Times. Alice Randall wrote in her opinion piece, “Black Women and Fat,” the key reason 4 out of 5 black women are fat is because…get this…THEY WANT TO BE.
The Twitterverse is yammering about Miley Cyrus…again. This time it’s about how skinny she is. Some are saying she has an eating disorder, to which she quickly fires back: “For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It’s not about weight it’s about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!”
Is it?
Black women are being fed (literally and figuratively) a load of bull. Can’t you see that the (fat) joke is on us? “Oh look at the fat black lady! They just LOVE being fat! Go throw her some chicken and watermelon and ask her if she wants to wash my drawers and raise my kids, will you Bob?” *cough* The Help *cough*
