Okay, so I was driving to work in Detroit (yes, people actually still work there) and I saw this big thing for the 50 million pound challenge by Dr. Ian from Celebrity Fit Club.

So I checked out the website and I find that it's a weight loss challenge, for African Americans. Is this guy rascist? He doesn't care about other races that might be overweight? He just starts a nationwide campaign with sponsors like State Farm that's specifically aimed for one race?

I don't get people. When will we learn that we are Americans and that's it. I've never heard anyone say they are an African Canadian.

I think somthing like 70% of african american women are overweight. I could be wrong.

Is it racist....sure.....But aslong as it's minority on minority it's "ok".

If a white doctor.....were to do somthing like this...NAACP be all over it.

That's just the way things are nowadays..
