If You Are Fit and White, Then you Are Probably a White Supremacist
Last week, days before an overweight nation rang in the new year, Time Magazine published a transcribed interview on “The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise.”
The ensuing interview characterized health and wellness as an instrument of white nationalism. According to Petrzela, early fitness enthusiasts of the 20th century promoted exercise for the sake of growing the white race.
They said we should get rid of corsets, corsets are an assault on women’s form, and that women should be lifting weights and gaining strength. At first, you feel like this is so progressive.
Then you keep reading, and they’re saying white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies. They’re writing during an incredible amount of immigration, soon after enslaved people have been emancipated. This is totally part of a white supremacy project. So that was a real ‘holy crap’ moment as a historian, where deep archival research really reveals the contradictions of this moment.
Petrzela went on to give credence to the pro-fat movement by admonishing common-sense assumptions about overweight people in fitness spaces.
“Today, you see quite a few fat people in the fitness industry, who are operating from a better perspective, which is that your body size does not necessarily dictate your fitness level,” Petrzela said. “We should not presume that because you are fat, that you are not fit or that you want to lose weight.”
Obesity carries with it a higher risk of high blood pressure, cancers, diabetes, strokes, coronary heart disease, breathing problems, high cholesterol, and mental illness, just to name a few — not to mention the present burden of extra weight putting stress on joints and other parts of the body.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 67 percent of the adult U.S. population is considered, at minimum, overweight. In other words, a minority of American adults are a healthy weight.
Time Magazine is not the first to characterize exercise as a product of political extremism. In 2021, FiveThirtyEight declared the right’s focus on obesity as an ill-faith fixation of “right-wing communities,” never mind that obesity predominantly threatens red states. It’s worth asking whether the script should be flipped: After all, couldn’t promoting the pro-fat movement, and therefore all the aforementioned associated risks, be considered its own kind of racism? According to the CDC, nearly half of all non-Hispanic black adults are obese.

Stop Causing Sh*t!
At work we get the local newspaper and the most useless rag of all, the N.Y. Times. These papers, along with all other facets of the media do the same thing, they cause racial division and hate.
I thought of posting this after seeing the release of a movie called Tully. It focuses on a 15 year old negro who was lynched by, you guessed it, a bunch of evil whiteys. This event supposedly happened sometime in the 50's.
So, what we have here is yet another movie that stirs up the blame whitey, they're all evil and racist theme. Books, other movies, magazine articles, television news shows and programs regularly, and I mean often, push we're the victim(blacks), blame the honky for everything.
What is the purpose of doing this? What is the end game?
How much does this fuel black on white crime? Plenty I believe.
I could speculate on the hows and whys behind all this but what would that accomplish? There is nothing I can do to stop it, even if I knew, it wouldn't change anything. The powers that be have set their plan(s) in motion. Those who are oblivious to what is going on, or the deluded whites who have drunk the "whitey is evil" kool aid, don't know the hell that is to come.
Forewarned is forearmed, I mean that figuratively and literally.
