Why am I considered slim in the black community but fat in the white community?

[thequeenofgag]

I don't get it lol. I'm 5'8" and I'm pretty sure I'm overweight

I meant culture not community

[DivaMonae]

I don't know it's just that way. I know what you mean I'm 5'7 and weigh 170 it's a good weight for me and depending on what yours is you're probably a good one also or may be slightly over weight but besides a pouch or bigger thighs no one can tell.

No one believes me when I tell them how much I weigh or they say it's because you're tall which is true, if doctors say it's a good/healthy weight for me I'm not going to second guess it.

As for the whole black/white thing it's hard to say nit most of us just see things differently like white girls will do anything to become smaller what they believe is a better look and what everyone wants. While black girls are known to be fuller not necessarily fatter which I'll admit many are but fuller have a butt and thighs.

As for boobs I'm pretty sure just about every girl wants a pare of those.

[DivaMonae]

WOW... You look like Mariah Carrie =O

[thequeenofgag]

It's mariah Carey's profile picture

[DivaMonae]

I was being sarcastic lol

[DivaMonae]

Thanks for Mh =)

[EyeSeaYew]

Because in GENERAL, the black community is more into chunky women with big butts.

[thequeenofgag]

I have huge boobs the rest is just saggy and flat wide back there lol

[chocolatedragon]

Adele overweight or what lol? Should have posted a pic example lol.
Black women on average are a little thicker/chubby/and sometimes plain fat on average while more white women try to stay lean and petite. So a community that's use to having more thicker people was always going to be more accepting of your size. Heck, many black men (myself included) have BBW fetishes lol.

[CourtJester]

Aren't black women more on the heavy side? Genetically, they are... big hips/booty etc.

[thequeenofgag]

No not all black women are big

[CourtJester]

Yea I understand not all but I'm speaking in generalization that they are.

[thequeenofgag]

Yes but those people call themselves curvy or husky at least I know I'm big

[PrettyBama]

Black women carry weight better for some reason and you're tall so that may be why balck people don't consider you fat. White people... I don't know what goes on in their heads lol

[aamy811]

I know what you mean. I'm like medium curvy/thick on the black girl scale. And really curvy/thick on the white girl scale. by the way I don't mean the fat kind, but like the actually curvy hourglass shape

[chocolatedragon]

Yayyy :) My favorite shape lol.

[aamy811]

@chocolatedragon haha thanks, but I'd rather be really slim

[chocolatedragon]

As long as being slim doesn't sacrifice the curves :)
I hate it when girls sacrifice their lovely curves for a smaller size :( lol

[aamy811]

@chocolatedragon yeah I'd sacrifice some of my curves to be slimmer

[chocolatedragon]

Slim like Beyonce or Alicia Keys or Lupita?

[aamy811]

@chocolatedragon I'm already slim like Beyoncé. But lip it's is my goal. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. Oh my god I want to be her so bad. She's so beautiful

[chocolatedragon]

Yeah she's pretty :)
I just googled a bikini pic of her. She has a surprisingly nice bubble butt, but no boobs :(
But now that I know what kind of slim you're aiming for, I agree with your goal. Lupita is still curvy lol. I highly doubt you will lose your boobs to reach her size lol.

[aamy811]

Yeah @chocolatedragon I have a lot of boob and bra are soooooo expensive. I feel it would just be easier. Also my friends are all tall and slim and white lol. So being slim would make me stand out less

[chocolatedragon]

Your friends are slim like Jennifer Lawrence or leaning more toward Heidi Klum? I'm sorry to be so picky, I just like to visualize lol. I didn't want to stereotype them into the skinny white girl category lol. I've met many pretty thick white girls lol.

[aamy811]

Not quite as slim as Heidi klum, but definetly on the slimmer side of the two

[aamy811]

@chocolatedragon (look down I forgot to tag you in my last comment

[EvilPimp]

5"8 186 would be considered fat to a lot of black people including me.

[thequeenofgag]

I tell people I'm 186 and the black people argue with me that I'm lying and they think I'm less. I'm very aware that I am overweight

[DivaMonae]

It may sound like a lot but that height and weight added up together is a good weight or maybe a few and I do mean a few pounds over weight you could look it up the taller you are the more weight your body can pack on and even out.

[EvilPimp]

Not trying to be mean , but that's overweight.

[thequeenofgag]

Did you read any of my comments that I left under your opinion?

[thequeenofgag]

The comment listed that I am perfectly aware that I am overweight. I am not delusional. Please don't type shit if you are going to assume I am unaware of who I am

[carnix]

what is black culture?

well, you answered your own question, culture..

[dev765]

Whats your weight.

[thequeenofgag]

Last time I weighed myself I was 186 i am 5'8"

[dev765]

I highly doubt you are considered slim in the black community lol.

[thequeenofgag]

I'm very aware that I am overweight thank you very much. I'm not delusional

[dev765]

That wasn't the point. Even if the black community prefers thicker women I highly doubt any black man would say 186 is slim to him. I could understand if you said like 140ish then that would be reasonable to be consider "thick".

[thequeenofgag]

When I tell people my weight they think I weigh less than that
I darn had mainly black people argue with me and they say I'm skinny

[dev765]

Really some black people said you were skinny? What the

[thequeenofgag]

And white people ask me the same question you ask me " what's your weight" they don't even take on go consideration my height. I'm supposed to be 150 this white trainer told me 120. I guess he was trying to kill me
