Racism Causes Obesity in Blacks

Anyone see this crazy study? At Boston University they studied weight trends among black women and found that some of the women had gained more weight than others. Who's to blame? You guessed it. White people. The study showed that those who gained the most weight said they had been discriminated against the most. Hmmmm.

Yvette Cozier, the doctor in charge of this survey said she was interested in knowing if factors other than diet and exercise could explain why black women are heavier than white women. According to Yvette:

It is useful for us in America to just understand that racism hasn't gone away. It's gotten better, but it's still here.

Imagine what Cozier might have said if Obama had lost. To say that obesity is caused by racism would mean that a majority, or at least a large percentage of Americans are racist. I find this insulting. But some people make a living on racist propaganda, and if they found out tomorrow that racism didn't exist, their whole way of life would dry up.
