Where did the myth come from that black women enjoy being fat?

Question

I seen posts and answers feel that black women enjoy being fat. Somehow were like another type of human that's not the same like others. For example I have read and seen how white women too show low self esteem who happen to be over weight. Like they will say sorry when its not their fault because they feel lowly due to weight, unlike thin white women they can walk all over you and keep going.

When I was overweight like some overweight people we tend to joke a lot, are more likely to be more nicer, and will take anyone who will love us for our fat. But I am still a virgin because I just don't trust men, after how I was treated as a fat person I went asexual....well GQ helps.

But I do noticed black women tend to be more happy and positive in the public....like any other race of women. Some go out in public and look sad, heads down, dress tacky, and wish everyday they were thin and put themselves down when people are already doing so to them.

And some, but more of black women, tend to be happy, positive and love themselves in public...when many really don't. But some really do.....like any other race.

The above pics are fine and some come a little bigger and still look great...not everyone has to be a stick to be considered healthy. Anyway I don't think its right to think black women enjoy being fat.

For all races fat can be part genetic, or a problem in the body, or they got hurt and became wheel chair bound and no longer can jog,walk and so on to burn cal., or they could be raped vitims (I have been reading about them and a lot of times they do gain weight) there are many things and fat does not exist on purpose for any race.

I use to think when I was fat I wondered how come underweight females get more love, and people feel sorry for them, but fat people they are rude and uncaring.

Anyway where did the myth come from?

Answer 1

I've never heard that myth.  

Answer 2

goodness i applaud you for holding on to your virginity. but with the way the world is, its not just men, its women too who cannot be trusted anymore. i'm the same way, i just dont want anything to do with a guy, since AID's and other viruses are flying around and since nobody can ever commit anymore. so for now i'm just staying away from that area.

as for black fat women. it has nothing to do with enjoying being fat. Tyra has said this twice on her show i think, that African American Women are more positive about their body. you ever see an anorexic black girl? i've only seen this ONCE in my life.

***EDIT***

i think the reason why she lashed out like that was becuase people dont see fat as something that should be accepted. we've all been to school and well, kids can be cruel, if nobody is thin or the "right" size, they are automatically cased out. and thats why Tyra was so pissed. she said "kiss my fat ***" which mean you either learn to love or waste your life away by trying to hurt someone else.

Answer 3

yea most black girls have very high confidence in themselves and its a very good thing

Answer 4

Ive never heard that ever..
