Default Sick of hearing about Detroit

The US media is making much of this story:
http://www.freep.com/news/locway/fatcit3_20040103.htm

Detroit has eclipsed Houston as the "fattest city" in the USA by those
cultural and health experts at Men's Health magazine.

I note that both of those cities have large African-American
populations. African Americans are generally larger either for genetic,
cultural, or economic reasons.

I'm sick of hearing this story. Why is this news?

Well look at it this way -- if Nathaniel "Skipper" Jones had been
about 100 pounds or so lighter, he'd certainly be still alive today.
So it pays not to allow yerself to balloon to the weight of the
typical NFL lineman. Unless of course ya really *are* one.

It is a proven fact that ******s are not only fat but they are ugly,
lazy, and smell bad too:


******s are fat, lazy, ugly, and smell bad.




FACTS:

******S ARE FAT:

Among women, 34% of non-Hispanic whites, 52% of non-Hispanic
blacks, and 50% of Mexican Americans were overweight


Reported by: Div of Health Examination Statistics, National Center for
Health Statistics; Div of Nutrition and Physical Activity,
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion,
CDC.



Mexican Americans are the ethnic group with the highest levels of
obesity. Blacks females are the single group with the
highest percentage. However, a study of Native Hawaiians produced
obesity levels not matched by any other ethnic group
in the United States.

http://courses.unt.edu/phed1000/mcdrp/tsld031.htm


FIFTY PERCENT - that's right, half - of Black women
are considered to be overweight.
The data comes from the 1999-2000
National Health
and Nutrition Examination Survey, which has
conducted this
study for years.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/819867.asp?0dm=C23JN




******S ARE LAZY:


African-Americans or Blacks

Highest mortality rates and risk factor prevalence
CVD
Lung (Men) and Prostate Cancer
Diabetes
Cigarette Smoking
Hypertension
Physical Inactivity
Overweight (females)

This data comes from the BRFSS study of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention


Coalition seeks better health
for area's blacks

By Bill Snyder / Tennessean Staff Writer

Blacks in north Nashville die from heart disease and
diabetes at significantly higher rates than do
whites or
African-Americans in other parts of the country,
health
statistics show.

Part of the reason has to do with their lifestyle --
a
1998 survey by the Metro Health Department found
that a relatively high proportion smoke, don't
exercise,
are overweight and have high blood pressure.



******S ARE UGLY (even other ******s think so)

BEAUTY

FACT #45: The January l986 issue of the journal of
Ethnic and Racial Studies, "Skin Color Preference,
Sexual Dimorphism and Sexual Selection: a case of
Gene-Culture Co-evolution?" by Peter Frost and
Pierre Van der Herghe, stated that in any given
race,
the women tend to have lighter complexions than the
men. Using standard ethnographic files from 51
societies on five continents which have recorded
their
preference for human skin color, the study found
that
30 preferred lighter women and 14 preferred lighter
women and lighter men. The cultures of India,
China,
Brazil and Bali, as well as the Arabs and Negroes
regard the lightest women as the most beautiful.
--perpetuating the aesthetic appeal of the
ivory-skinned, rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed, blond
"nordic
ideal" of feminine beauty- -even though they
themselves do not possess the genetic capacity to
reproduce such an organism. Over time, the study
said, the upper classes of all races have become
lighter-skinned than their fellow countrymen
because
they have repeatedly skimmed off fairer women from
the lower classes. (Also see #11)

FACT #46: Scientific research on what constitutes
human beauty, in which 300 judges of various
backgrounds were shown portrait photographs and
asked to rate the beauty of the individual's face,
has
revealed that nordic Whites are universally
recognized
as the most attractive humans, even by Blacks. The
judges were instructed to evaluate the faces solely
on
his or her "personal standards of beauty and not to
consider popular norms." The results of the study
"Age, Sex, Race, and the Perception of Facial
Beauty." Developmental Psychology, 5, Nov., 1971,
pp 433-439, are reprinted below.

Researcher Phyllis A. Katz has been
conducting studies on children's development of racial attitudes for
the past two decades. In a recent study, she showed 6-month-old
infants several
pictures of African Americans and then showed the infants a picture
of a white American. The babies looked at the last picture for a
significantly longer
time, suggesting they were aware of the difference. (The study also
included showing infants several pictures of white Americans and then
showing them a
picture of an African American, with the same result: the babies
looked at the last picture for a significantly longer time, indicating
they were aware of the
difference). The study was conducted on 100 white infants and 100
African American infants, with the same results.

http://npin.org/pnews/1998/pnew398/pnew398b.html

Ever since the 1930s, when psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark first
conducted their doll preference studies,
psychologists have known that children as young as three will often
reject playing with Black dolls in favor of White-looking dolls.
Researchers since then have found that the phenomenon is both
short-lived and easy to manipulate. In 1975, psychologists Albert
Roberts, Kathleen Mosley, and Maureen Chamberlain found that, while 40
percent of the three- to four-year-old Black girls thought that
the blue-eyed White doll was "prettiest," by ages six and seven, only
23 percent did. And in 1988, psychologist Darlene Powell-Hopson
and her husband, Derek Hopson, reported that preference rates for
Black dolls could be dramatically increased by repeatedly pairing
positive words, such as pretty and nice, with Black dolls rather than
White dolls. The fact is that before the age of four or five, most
children are blissfully unaware of racial stereotyping or prejudices.

******S SMELL BAD:


McCutcheon (1989, pp. 25-35).

Apocrine glands, which produce scents
that we commonly refer to as
body odor, vary widely among the races.
Asians have an extremely
low distribution of apocrines (Koreans
are among the least
odor-producing people on Earth-50% of
them have no apocrine
glands at all). With regard to other
races, blacks have a slightly higher
distribution of apocrine glands than
whites.
