Any young black women looking to get thin?

Fellow white people, stop inserting yourselves into spaces where you aren't wanted. If this woman wants to connect with other people she feels may relate to her experience better, that's her business. To comment on this just to express your offense because you don't feel included is just gross. White people, historically and to a large degree currently, dominate just about every space imaginable and have never not done so freely. When a person of color requests their own space not be intruded upon, show a little respect and don't intrude. For anyone who doesn't understand why this is not the same as a white woman doing this, start by looking up Jane Elliott.
OP, forgive me. I just felt compelled to correct the misguided who've hijacked your thread.0 -
If the post "any young white women looking to get thin" were up, it would get the same amount of hate.
But white women on this site are the default. Most threads are full of white women, are they not? Is it wrong to want to speak to, see, and connect with people who look like me without paging through 10 pages of content hoping another black woman might show up?
You don't need a post to seek each other out because you are the default. If you post "looking for young women looking to get thin." Its very unlikely more than one or two non-white women would respond.1 -
I'm a woman of color but what does color have to do with weight loss. I hate these type of posts and that's from all races. Why comment then you say??... Because I can

Thanks ... I expected the response ... I only want to get healthy and improve my appearance ... I don't care if I'm called a racist, that doesn't faze me ... I just want a beautiful body, like women and men of all backgrounds. Enjoy your day!0

Meh, you are just looking for people you can relate to. Nothing wrong with that.0 -

This is the real shot fired.0 -
Don't judge the OP...........
its about race because there are different cultural standards of beauty within the black community vs. the white community weight wise, at least. Black women typically are built different than white women.......and all you have to do is look at the latest Rick Ross video to see what the idea of beauty is in the black culture..... and its not Kate Moss.0 -

Yeah but what about the aliens?0 -
