Venus Williams Defies Michelle Obama’s Claim That Obesity Is a Race Issue
Nanny State Liberation Front ^ | July 14, 2010 | Nanny State Liberation Front

While addressing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) this week, First Lady Michelle Obama declared obesity a threat to black Americans comparable to oppressive racial policies of the past. Instead of citing positive black role models who refuse to fall victim to a supposed threat that is ‘terrorizing’ their race, Mrs. Obama instigated another racial struggle for the civil rights organization to unnecessarily embed itself.

“We are living today in a time where we’re decades beyond slavery, we are decades beyond Jim Crow; when one of the greatest risks to our children’s future is their own health,” Mrs. Obama told the NAACP on July 12. “African American children are significantly more likely to be obese than are white children.”

One African American who did not allow herself to fall victim to the so called obesity ‘epidemic’ is Venus Williams, a professional tennis player who has won three Olympic gold medals and seven Grand Slam singles titles. Williams is a shining example of a black American child who thwarted the health threats posed by foods Mrs. Obama and her fellow food cops claim are this generation’s most notorious genocidal murderers.

In the July issue of Bon Appétit magazine, Williams shares her secrets for how she “fuels up for her work on and off the court.” Williams reveals she is not afraid of the poisonous foods that Mrs. Obama and radical food “watchdog” groups like the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) are waging war against.

“Ruth’s Chris is my favorite restaurant, and I always order the rib eye, medium-rare,” said Williams, which undoubtedly makes the anti-meat PCRM cringe in fear for the tennis star’s life. According to the PCRM ...

I think Michelle would be better served if she got rid of her own fat butt.

As far as Venus Williams is concerned, there is no mystery. If you exercised as much as she does, you too could eat any damn thing you wanted.

I’m waiting for all the pictures of obese Africans. There must be millions of morbidly obese folks on the Dark Continent.

Obesity is proclaimed a direct threat to blacks and yet they make no such claim about abortion (which is really genocide).

I say continue to support McDonald’s worldwide because it is showing balls by going against the Obama administration and standing firm about its business success.

I suppose black people could be genetically at increased risk of obesity.I'm not a physician so I can't say.But if it's true then they'd be wise to pay particular attention...lifelong attention...to weight and diet.In fact it's not a bad idea for just about *everyone* in this country to do so regardless of race or genetics.

God knows *I* could stand to lose a few pounds!

>>I suppose black people could be genetically at increased risk of obesity<<

Those who tend to gain weight today would have been the strong stock that survived famine in the past.

Today it’s a bad thing.

Once she stops expending so much energy on the tennis court, her diet will have to change. It’s a pretty simple premise.

Fat kids need to get up from the TV and the computer screen and run around more. The only question is who’s going to make them do that: themselves? Their parents? Their teachers? Michelle Obama?

I’ll bet it’s the CARBS....just like for some Spanish people....if they avoided carbs and ate more protein they wouldn’t have the problems.

It’s not just overweight kids, that’s ALL kids.
Even thin kids are prone to cardio problems now a days.

Some of that is lack of Vitamin D from sunshine too.
