Thinking about cutting back on sweets and hitting the gym as your New Year’s resolution? Well, if you are, you might be a white supremacist.
Okay, not really. Not at all, actually, but according to Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, the author of the book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, which comes out next month, American exercise trends reinforce white supremacy.
Petrzela explains this ridiculousness in an interview with Time Magazine. When asked what the most surprising thing she learned from her research was, she explained that she originally believed concern for fitness was “progressive.” “It was super interesting reading the reflections of fitness enthusiasts

But if you're a white male, "body positivity" is cultural appropriation.

What is really morbid is the obsession that everything is racist.

Remember all you racist minorities. Even if you don't work out because it is racist...all the cute white women are at the gym
working out. So you should at least hang out at the gym to show everyone how hip you are and show-off your fly-whip.

What the author quoted in this article fails to understand is that ALL early 20th century progressives were racists, even by the standards of the early 20th century.

Physical fitness, NBS, NFL, MLB, any college sports scholarship including WOMEN'S SWIMMING are all racist or something. Please stop your BS.

That’s funny. Whenever you see an article or advertisement touting “fit at any size,” it’s always accompanied by a photo of a big fat black woman.

Sorry, but at this “advanced age” I’m going to hit that Gravitron and do my dead lifts, good mornings, dumbell rows, bands, arm bike, low rows and the bike and stepper so I can see my Granddaughters grow up. Am I racist? Not in the least. Are the morons who write this junk racists? Probably. Tough.

Isn’t the trend of minority men going after cute white women racist? Why are they so popular with that crowd?

Once they declare everything "racist", then absolutely NOTHING is actually racist.
The word is meaningless. If someone called me that, I'd literally laugh in their face.

So, is she saying the fat POC victims of white supremacy will die young from their obesity while their fit white supremacist victimizers will live long and prosper due to their healthy lifestyles?
Poor POCs can't catch a break.

Well I guess these fools believing this haven't been paying attention to the ads on my television lately. Most of the ads for home exercise equipment is being aimed largely at the minority population in this country. Never thought of Peleton and the rest as being conservative either.

Anyone ask Stacy Abrams about this?

I never liked muscle heads. They take their obsession to ridiculous levels and look down their noses at those of us who dont. Still. I doubt they are any more racist than anyone else. This might make them that way though.

Dying is racist since healthy whites and Asians live longer than body positive blacks.

Baseball, football, and basketball are all dominated by blacks. What's the problem?
The woke crowd will next be demanding all sports dominated by whites be cancelled.

Judging from the physical properties of the gentle damsels we see on the videos of those fast food restaurant riots, they may have a point.

Sigh ... another ghettopototamus who cannot bring herself to push away from the dinner table after only one helping is blaming White folks for her bulk.

This is more of the same dog squeeze from the dimwitted idiots who think that these things are racist:
Jobs
Mathematics
Band-Aids
Food
Dogs
Clothes
Swimming Pools
Cars
and my personal favorite Military Service

Oh good, now I have an excuse not to exercise. /s
Is eating salad also racist?
Is taking vitamins also racist?
Is going for a mammogram also racist?
We really need more instructions from libs on politically correct behaviors to boost our social credit scores.

Amen, #8. I’m 70 and work out at CrossFit for exactly the same reason. My own grandmothers never played with us kids, but I get down on the floor or in the yard to play with mine and hope to be able to do it for years to come.

Is it because fat black women, like Stacy (Tank) Abrams, hate looking at skinny white women who keep in shape?
And they need to quit appropriating white culture with blonde hair and colored contact lenses. I am offended.
