How do we get Black women to start working out more?

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Maybe you should stop going to a white gym.

I see a ton of black women in my gym. Seeing as we're going off of anecdotal evidence.

But if we seriously want to reverse the trend of obesity within our community we need to work on the underlying socioeconomic factors that contributes to our relative poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyles. In other words, finding a child to tutor, donating to a relevant scholarship or something along those lines would be a better solution than telling people to go to the gym outside of any context. That is, if we're looking for solutions.

I understand that and did not deny weight is an issue for Black Women.I am for Black Women doing better for themselves with genuine support.



Because that is a theme on the coli, to bash black women.

If I was out of shape I highly doubt White boys would f*ck with me like that in general.

Why do you think we aren't genuine?

I ain't on the bashing theme either. I don't like seeing out of shape, depressed looking Black women. I know we as a people are dealing with a lot of issues and the motivation to do another strenuous activity is sapped away at the end of the day, but it's very important to stay active and make better dietary choices.

Umm....how about don't date the fat ones.



I don't give a damn about no bytch I ain't attracted it. Let a coli virgin have em

Brehs are concerned about women they don't even like, let them live

One of the dumbest ideologies/talking points I've read.

According to BMI, I'm medically obese

BMI is geared towards white folks tbh.

In Chicago, most black people period are

Hell despite losing 68 pounds, I'm still not where I want to be.

And we all know why that is lets not be stupid. That's like saying " how come black men go to prison more than any other group". You adding out context to the situation but you wanna talk about some solutions.You said nothing about the economic factors. You just said they don't go to the gym like that's the real problem

The solutions pretty simple. Stop eating like shyt and excerise (which by the way you can do at home for free).

Ya'll do realize this is the nonsense they use to determine all of these statistics right??

Its saying the normal weight for someone my weight is 156 to 210lbs....

Imagine being 6'5 and 156lbs brehs.. aint shyt normal about that

I am technically obsese and would count as someone who "needs to get in the gym" by these standards.
Anyone who's actually seen me knows that's completely bullshyt.

I mean damn, most professional football players (even the receivers) would be overweight if not obese.

I'm not saying people don't to work out (im' very pro health), i'm just saying lets acknowledge that these statistics are meaningless

Nah, the coli is a just a microcosm of what guys talk about when they gather (apart from folks who're simps) and rather than being sensitive and labeling every observation/critique as something to bash black women - some of you need to soak it and adjust. Not every critique/observation is malicious. And this thread exempifies that

I don't think cacs who fetishize about smashing just any type of black woman care if you're out of shape or not, as long as your ass looks a tad fat. You sound butt hurt about the thread and that's clearly a pointer.

Anyway, that's me with less than 10% body fat on my profile picture and I never go over 10%. That's proper diet, good body metabolism, regular training, and genetics. And I've never been fat for a day in my life

Idk how you can get at OP for using anecdotal evidence only to use anecdotal evidence yourself when the fact is stats show that OP is obviously on to something
