Do President Trump’s policies make me look fat?

That’s the sort of question some black women may be asking themselves, a Rutgers University professor suggested during a recent appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Although, more accurately, the problem may be the stress and anxiety caused by the policies than the policies themselves, Brittney Cooper, who teaches gender studies at the New Jersey-based university, said on a recent episode of “Black Women OWN the Conversation.”

after that I realized I wanted my 30 seconds back.

so Trump is responsible for how these women handle their stress? Apparently these women are not in control of themselves, that’s their self made problem.

sorry it was "teaches GENDER studies". For supporting gender equality and trans genders and gays and non binary people, why would you want to teach that men and women are diferent?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Yeah! that's right! I never saw any fat black women before Trump was elected.

I'd look into welfare, EBT and bad diets

This is hilarious.

For years everything bad that happened in the world was caused by climate change.

Then along came Trump and now he's to blame for everything bad in the world.

I'm starting to see a trend here.

Liberals can't take responsibility for their own actions. They've got to blame someone else for their travails.

This woman needs to shut her pie-hole and stop stuffing her face. Apparently she thinks that she got fat because of Trump's "racism". She was skinny before his election, I guess. Nothing to do with eating too many calories and not burning them off.

And his woman is a "professor". Of what? Stupidity? How can people this stupid become professors who teach our kids this shit?

And what about all the skinny black women? Why are they skinny? Must not be experiencing racism like the fats ones are.

And that is where her logic falls apart.

Black women — What don’t they know?

I’ve lost respect for most Afro-American women (Candace Owens, Diamond & Silk being notable exceptions).

They’re a pitiful demographic in general, so unwilling to face truths, learn and mature.

It comes to me that their problem might simply be the fact that they need to start working hard and eating less... NOT working less and eating hard...

And lovely Brittney Cooper, the Womyns Studies professor at Rutgers is, you guessed it, a fat, black woman.

Except when you have a ruined GI Tract. I have Gastropresis slow digestion, Diverticulosis, diet is very low fiber and no Seeded fruits. Eat the wrong food, and you are in GI Hell pain.

It’s eating boxes of Ho Ho’s while watching Oprah and Cosby reruns waiting for the welfare check in the mail, that causes it.

Why the concern? Don’t they know that strong black men love chunky women? Are they trying to get a white guy? Just stating the facts.

I’m sure that’s what it is.

And no one noticed that about 98% of black women were fat before Trump.
