Black guys are always accused of dating down hooking up with either fat or unattractive white women. Now even though I see ALL races of men dating fat, unattractive women of ALL races, black guys seem to get the most attention from society when they date these women. Why is that? Now I heard people come up with some lame excuse on why this happens and Here's some excuses

1. white women are weak and easy

2. Black men think every white female is top shelf, the best regardless of looks and status.

So I did a test. I knew a guy who was going out with a ugly fat white girl so I got a picture of this guy of just him on my phone and showed other black women. Every black woman I showed this picture said that he was unattractive. I told them that he has a girlfriend and that she was white and they were just shcoked that he had a girlfriend at all because they said he was ugly. So I asked a few black women was he "dating down" because you know that black men are supposed to be notorious for "dating down" and they told me that no not at all because the guy is ugly and he one of those guys who has to take what he can get. I asked these females so what's with this accusation about black emn dating down and they told me that those black guys with fatand/or unattractive trashy white women are the black men that black women don't even want . So why are these men accused of "dating down" and people who claim this why don't you interfere and tell them that they can do better?

like Christmas is tied to religion and as a society we are separating ourselves from it. also I don't think its healthy to teach kids that if your good you get presents and if your bad you dont. there are lots of poor kids that don't get presents and they are told by society/ media that they are bad kids because of it. also I think its a little creepy that a fat man that only hires midgets breaks into our house at night steals our food and leaves presents.

I remember even just a decade or so ago you almost never saw a fat cheerleader at high school sports. Now they are very common, and I even see fat college football cheerleaders! Why is this?

I think it looks disgusting, and it sends the wrong message to little girls that it is OK to be fat. It is not healthy or natural, but you wouldn't guess that from seeing cheerleaders these day. Is this from society in general, fat moms, feminism, or what?

NOTE: overweight = excessive bodyfat levels

It's no secret that America has a weight / obesity problem. I myself have been dangerously overweight and have been steadily losing weight since my uni days and improving my health through personal research, hard work and discipline.

Not easy to do in the beginning, but now has become routine...and the payoff for my being in all ways is worth it.

Unfortunately a lot of dangerously overweight people don't get that "damn I need to do something about my weight!" jumpstart that I did being in a very fit and health conscious area in California that is Santa Barbara county during my college days.

The reason why these people usually don't get that jolt is because of "fat acceptance" as in the societal and media molding of viewing being overweight as normal and not something that has to be changed...

...

...pretty much saying being overweight is something you don't need to concern yourself with and you shouldn't be adversely treated for doing such.

There are even organizations in America that fight for the civil rights of overweight people in America (similar to organizations that do such for genders, ethnic groups, religions, etc)...so fat acceptance is even politic driven as well.

I understand both sides of this argument.

Do you feel the current climate of "fat acceptance " in American media and society is more beneficial or more harmful for America as a whole?
