Black Obesity Cause? Racism

                              




GAH!


Once upon a time, Americans believed that G-d was the First Cause of the universe. Then along came the left and Racism became the new First Cause of the universe.

In the Unified Field Theory of Racism, everything was caused by racism.

If America went to war, it was because it was racist. If it didn’t go to war, it was because it was racist. Even Global Warming was ultimately caused by the racist disregard of Americans for the Third World.

The study only measures perceptions of racism, not actual racism, but again that’s a distinction that long ago went out the window in research studies. And that assumes these numbers are even valid. There’s no reason to believe that they are.
And obesity? Obviously racism.

Frequent experiences of racism are associated with a higher risk of obesity among African American women, a new study claims.

Scientists found that women who were more frequently victimized for their race, were more likely to be obese.

The Black Women’s Health Study collected information on experiences of racism, height and weight and other lifestyle factors via biennial questionnaires.

The participants were asked in 1997 and in 2009 to rate the frequency of ‘everyday’ experiences of racism, such as receiving poorer service in restaurants and if they had been treated unfairly because of their race in their job, in housing or by the police.

Women who reported more lifetime racism were also at increased risk of obesity, according to the study, which was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

There was a time when researchers knew the difference between correlation and causation. That long ago went out the window. Correlation is treated as causation. If two things overlap, then one must cause the other. And since obesity can’t cause racism, racism must cause obesity. [Full Fatness]

You can see these people and worse at a Wal-Mart on any given day. After 9:00 PM the really good ones start coming out and even fully clothed, the imagination plays terror tricks on your mind.

Maybe they weren't "victims of raaaacism: maybe they were really "victims of faaaatism" all along.

Ever think of that? eh?

eh?

Certainly, they were not ever no never "victims of Victimophilia."
