Wait...
I thought that only “deplorables” were supposed to be fat and dumpy. The other groups are supposed to be fit and fabulous, or so the narrative goes.

I was a Biloxi Katrina survivor and worked with the Louisiana survivors as a supervisor at the unemployment office in Dallas, Texas. Almost every word in that first paragraph is all too true.

Good grief! How long ago was Katrina?

Victims of the disaster were quickly recast as looters, criminals....Yes, well, fact was....

There were just 405 minority franchises in the United States in 1969. By 1974, there were 2,453. This growth owed not a little to loans from the SBA. McDonalds went from one minority franchise in 1969 to 10,142 in 1984 (mostly African American). Not having black owners is racist. Successfully romoting black ownership is also racist.
Got it.

I don’t agree that poor people are helpless folks no can’t resist too many chips or too much McDonald’s dollar menu
They don’t resist too much cheap food because they don’t have the discipline to
And that lack of discipline pervades their lives and causes them to be fat and frequently lazy too
Ive been on the coast a lot since February dealing with a friend at Driftwood nursing home in Gulfport who was in hospice till this morning
I think there are less fat folks there than in middle tennessee which is saying something
In any event it’s not about lack of availability to less fattening food
They simply won’t resist too much food
We are so so so fat outside the upper classes where there is pressure to not be fat
My ancestry a few hours north of Biloxi where dirt poor and laden with butter and lard and sausages and fattty food galore
But they did more than collect disability and sell pain pills and eat too much cheap fast food
They worked

No one forces blacks to eat fast food. Since most are considered “poor” they should be cooking at home instead.

The rise in obesity in the U.S. is an epidemic and much of the root causes lie in poverty, a condition more prevalent in communities of color.
When a documentary about poverty in America was unleased on the world, it was supposed to show how evil America was. Instead, the reaction was the opposite.
One person in India is quoted as saying: “I want to live where the poor people are fat!”
The idiotic writer of this historic revisionism starts with a false premise: All the evils of the world are caused by capitalism and racism. Starting with a false premise is an excellent way to reach idiotic results.

IT has been my experience that The New Republic is nothing more than a liberal "rag" not worth the time to read it.

You are expecting leftists to believe that there is such a thing as free will. They do not believe in it. Everything is caused by economic determinism. They do not believe in responsibility or freedom. (unless it can be used to show White people as being evil)
They believe in power, and that they should have it.

Looting is okay now. Gotta get ready for the movie about the Detroit riots showing how all property is theft, man.
