BLM conquers BMI…[Citing racist origins, American Medical Association deemphasizes BMI: Body mass index has been used for decades to assess a person’s ideal weight. Leading doctors now say its usage should be deemphasized., 10News.com, June 15, 2023]:
The American Medical Association announced it has adopted recommendations deemphasizing the use of body mass index as a measurement in medicine. The group now recommends considering BMI along with other factors, including visceral fat, body adiposity index, body composition, relative fat mass, waist circumference and genetic/metabolic factors.
The AMA said it “recognizes issues with using BMI as a measurement due to its historical harm, its use for racist exclusion, and because BMI is based primarily on data collected from previous generations of non-Hispanic white populations.”
“There are numerous concerns with the way BMI has been used to measure body fat and diagnose obesity, yet some physicians find it to be a helpful measure in certain scenarios,” said AMA Immediate Past President Jack Resneck. “It is important for physicians to understand the benefits and limitations of using BMI in clinical settings to determine the best care for their patients.”
The body mass index uses a simple formula combining a person’s weight and height. A person with a body mass index between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a normal weight. Those with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 are overweight, while those with a BMI of over 30 are considered obese.
For someone who is 6 feet tall, weighing 184 pounds would be considered overweight, while weighing 221 pounds would be considered obese.
Someone 5 feet 6, 155 pounds is considered overweight, while being 186 pounds is obese.
The National Institutes of Health noted that BMI can be useful, but is not the only measure of a person’s health.
“It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build,” the NIH said. “It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.”
The Cleveland Clinic has a similar stance.
“Body mass index is a quick tool that health care providers can use to assess your risk for certain health conditions,” the Cleveland Clinic said. “However, BMI is not always an accurate measurement of body fatness and is not the sole determiner of your general health. If you have any questions or concerns about your weight or your risk for developing certain health conditions, such as heart disease, talk to your healthcare provider.”

Dr. Jig will see you now. You are only allowed to drink grape drank 12 hours before the scheduled blood work.
For crying out loud, is there ANYTHING now that doesn’t have “racist origins?”
(Rhetorical question. We all know the answer to that.)
Separation now, separation tomorrow, separation forever. There is no living in peace with these violent, primitive slobs. They have to go.

Ah lubbs me a healthy woman!
In this day and age even the most ignorant realize comparing Mr. America and Mr. Whipple is an “apples and oranges” comparison.
Remember 14 year old Tire Sampson?

Happy Father’s Day, anyone seen examples of it being downplayed or cancelled due to the lack of fathers in the black community? Or would that amplify the issue by putting a spotlight on it? I figure one way or another it’ll come under fire for “disproportionately” affecting the black community, or just be completely perverted by the LGTQB+-= people, maybe a commercial with pregnant father walking with his transitioning 5 year old.
sheeeeeiiiiit
Trying to normalize ghetto. These stupid companies and advertisers do it all the time. Sick pukes are chasing the welfare dollars.
I’ve always had an issue with BMI. 50 years ago when I was in college I was 5′ 11″ and 176 pounds. By the BMI standards I was overweight. At that time I was on the track team and running 10-15 miles per day. There was hardly an ounce of fat on me. Most of my competitors thought I was running the 100 or doing the shot. When I lined up for the steeplechase or 6 mile they were a bit surprised.
I’ve always been able to gain weight with ease. I was probably born 4000 years too late. Give me a fire and a piece of bear fat and I could make it through the winter. Having access to 24 hour grocery stores and cheap & easy calories means that I can carry a month’s worth of energy on my body.
When the big one hits and the EMP stops everything I should be OK if I can get water.
The medical profession is one of the most cucked of all groups. They will change any standard or say anything to avoid acknowledging the dysfunctional behavior of blacks.
Height and weight = outdated
Mike Tyson in his prime, 5’10”- 5’11” 216lbs would be overweight or near obese using that type of scale.
Defund the Police
Bigger rhymes with …
It’s a hottentot problem. Then again, being fat doesn’t stop any woman these days from wearing yoga pants. It’s just gross. However, according to BMI, Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered obese.
Good…de-emphasize it. More will die earlier…WIN!
Mo’ mass shootings… Errr, I mean eruptions of “gun violence”.

Please, let’s not overthink this matter.
In Omaha, there was a black parade celebrating one of their numerous days of recognition/looks at me activities – I’ve lost track of all of the unjustified accolades for this race nor do I really care.
Anyway, the sheboons twirling, twerking and squatting routines, reminding one of the primitive African dances we’ve all seen on Tarzan movies, are a simple barometer of obesity for these people.
If they crack concrete, they beez obese. Simple.
WOW!! Well what do you know – so it would appear race really IS a real thing.
Priss Factor———-Well yeah,it’s funny; but some things you can’t unsee. I am fine if people want to be morbidly obese except when they ooze into my coach seat. I paid for the seat,so theoretically i should be able to use it.
The AMA said it “recognizes issues with using BMI as a measurement due to its historical harm…
In other words, it’s racist to tell obese black women that they’re obese.
BMI has “racist” origins…? I suppose next they’ll tell us that Diabetes affects blaqs more not because of their extremely poor dietary habits, but because “Die-beet-tease be racist”.
On another note, I’ve recently noticed literally ALL the white bank clerks AND loan officers in my banking institution (credit union) have been replaced by blaqs. The only other white I saw in the bank was the lowly hired security guard.
Off topic.
Big Pokey he has done been dade recently. He had been a god in the music bidness. Possibly, the greatest of all time in the rap industry. Y’all drank a foty to dat memory of greatness.
More OT:
You’ve no doubt heard of the Dodgers pride day featuring the anti Christian Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Wonder who’s responsible for such displays of perversity? Eric Braverman is the gay VP of Marketing, Community Relations, and Broadcasting. Surprise, surprise. He is Jewish.
Every damned time.

10 Things We Want White People to Do to Celebrate Juneteenth
01. We want white people to deeply consider the wound of racism on the hearts of every Black American.
02. On Juneteenth we want white people to read, study Black history, Black poets, Black leaders, Black achievements.
03. We want white people to do things about racism as readily as they do things for their own children.
04. We want white people to make a list of resolutions, of promises, of vows about what will it take for them to use their power, their privilege, their platforms of power to give space to Black and Brown leaders.
05. We want them to find an accountability partner and make the list public of what actions they will take. They CAN do this on social media. A lot of those actions will be giving up privilege and making room for folks who they may not have noticed have no room at all.
06. We want white people to stop talking about how uncomfortable it is to talk about racism or police violence.
07. We want white people to stop being afraid of their own internalized white supremacy. We want them to search and look within at hard facts of thought and deed. Who cares about being comfortable? What about being true, brave and real instead?
08. Then we want white people to stop talking and listen to what needs to be done.
09. We want white people to plan on spending time in spaces with folks who are not like you.
10. We want white people to hold other white people accountable not on social media, instead with measured voices that call folks in to look and wrestle – to change. We are interested in courageous conversations, in hearing folks out and in allowing themselves to feel terrible and to let that feeling be a crucible for change.

So, American blacks…ooops, of course I meant “Blacks!” with the all-important Capital B! – are on the hefty side, ergo it’s Waciss AF to notice that the females of the species in general don’t look like Whitney Houston circa 1986? Of course, it’s “genetic” – nearly the entire population is afflicted with a massive Doritos craving…ooops, I meant “slow metabolism” but at the same time there’s absolutely no such thing as race.
This is the truest statement EVER written; it’s the most irrefutable thing nobody on this planet can debate.
Thank you, sir!
Hat tip(s) for you.
It’s called purple drank. Don’t forget the Hot Fries.
I won’t bother reading what the AMA said about this — disregarding all the nonsense about ‘racism’ etc, logically it is possible that BMI was developed using data obtained by measuring primarily Whites, and therefore perhaps is not the best measure for assessing other races.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Looking at how BMI is calculated and interpreted, if one race had, on average, higher body weight per unit of height, but this did not necessarily mean more body fat, then BMI could be a slightly misleading indicator of body fat in that race.
Blacks do have significantly greater bone density than Whites (look at the graph):
Bones in Different Races
Also, Blacks generally have more muscle mass than Whites, and their muscles are denser.
The effects of these differences on BMI were noticed and have been studied:
Why are there race/ethnic differences in adult body mass index–adiposity relationships? A quantitative critical review
So aside from any ‘current thing’ bullshit, it’s known that BMI can be misleading when it comes to telling you how fat someone actually is (‘BMI-adiposity’).
But everyone knows a fat person when they see one, and on average Blacks are definitely fatter than Whites.
What I’d prefer is for White people to tell black people to STFU & GTFO…
“Give me a fire and a piece of bear fat and I could make it through winter.”
I have to laugh because I have a friend who is as thin as a rail and brags about it and how healthy he is but he can’t make it through twelve hours without incessantly whining for food as if he were a starving Ethiopian. In a SHTF scenario, he’s likely to turn cannibal after 48 hours of weeping and screaming for food. His thinness is a severe weakness. Like they say, most people are three meals away from having civilization break down and food riots erupting. On that note, I sometimes go three days without eating and just get by on coffee- just too bored with food to bother. The point is that being somewhat overweight isn’t all bad just as being thin isn’t all good. It’s the thin ones who are going to be flipping their sh*t and running through the streets rioting, screeching and going berserk over food if anything really bad happens. Of course, they’ll be screaming, “It’s for the children!” Lol.
That’s where the money is. Who else is living in free government housing and spending $200 on sneakers, $700 on Gucci belts, high end liquor, nails, weaves, leasing Mercedes? It’s no different than when mines used to pay their workers in scripts to be used at the company store. Uncle Sugar gladly hands out money, grants, and free cash to blacks because they know it will be back circulating in the economy within a week.
Pay them on Friday and they are broke by Sunday morning.
Los angeles has countless very fat people. black women among the fattest. merika been good to them.
I dunno what they weigh. 200? to 500 pounds.
I saw a white guy today who maybe was 400 pounds, and not tall.
I had a flight from Atlanta to S. FL a year ago. FULL flight and I had to get home because I was leaving to the Bahamas the next day. Get on my flight in my aisle seat and have a 400lb guy ask me to get up because he had the window, fine by me. He puts the armrest up between him and the middle seat because he couldn’t fit normally. I’m thinking, great he bought two seats because he was spilling 1/2 way into the middle seat. As I am about to sit back down, a 300lb (I’m being polite & generous with that guess) woman (his wife) indicates that she is in the middle, and proceeds to wedge herself in between my armrest (spilling over into my seat), and him. Both needed seat belt extensions, and the people who shuffled past while still boarding gave me looks of pity.
If I didn’t have a checked bag, or anywhere to be, I would have insisted on getting off the plane and booked on another flight, I have never wanted to call in a bomb threat more in my life than right then. If it was a cross country or trans Atlantic flight I would have insisted to be seated somewhere else or have the flight attendant switch seats with me. Airlines will charge me $100 if my suit case is 2lbs over 50lbs, but then let these giant slobs on the plane, who weigh as much as 2-3 regular people combined.
It’s a shame, and a scam.
End of rant.
Sorry…zero fucks given about the lowly orcs. I do, however, promise to continue the time honored tradition of Avoiding the Groid.
Trinity————“Height and weight = outdated.” BMI works reasonably well for most people/patients when combined with reasonable common sense. Nobody would have mistaken Mike Tyson’s muscle/fat ratio in his prime for Lizzo’s even if their weight was identical. BMI is just a cheap sreening tool. You can get accurate fat vs. muscle data with a MRI or a water displacement type of test,but are the results worth thousands of dollars? People KNOW if they are obese. Not my problem if their bulk doesn’t intrude into my space,or unless i am required to “affirm” them.
Even if the racial reality of the”shots ringing out” was totally suppressed by Deep State Media, the typical dysfunctional, Chimpz Wif Gunz, Negristical Kill To Wounded ratio, 1:20, would clearly indicate perpetration by Diversity.
Gunfire to NAPAs is merely X-Treme firecrackers, a flexion of BLAK POWAH, and an expression of Luhx At Muh.
Summary:
The vile things don’t belong ANYWHERE outside of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Personally, I’d like to see them…and their enablers/apologists/managers…off this planet.
Eh I think I’ll just buy a couple new suppressors instead
Sweet!
Does this mean that we’ll be allowed to touch their hair soon?
Being fat, black, and a woman, must be hell. At least they have all of their fatherless chitlins to keep them company.
Hey Sheniqua, even with BMI abolished, you’re still a fat, stupid, loud, pig.
Why would I be afraid of my own internalized white supremacy? It’s not like it’s going to steal my car or something.
On coonteenth, I meditate on the idea of a nation without africans ruining everything; It’s quite therapeutic!
Dr. Rook.———- I refer you to the Urban Dictionary. The current designation is Ghettopotimus.
Man has several distinct mindsets based on morality. I consider them as their possessors thinking of what is the best way to survive.
They may be biased by race but not defined by race.
Hunter-gatherers didn’t have the social structure of a “family”.

Sick ‘n Tired—————–Surely someone who lost half of his or her seat to an obese flyer has sued the airline. I can only assume that the airlines have made sufficient political contributions to avoid any liability for breach of service.
No fucks given on my end but look what an “antiracist” nonprofit filled with whites with animosity against their own and a belief the lowly black savage is a-ok.
These days the person who tried to sue would be labeled a fat shamer, and some fat judge would order them to pay the fatties for hurting their feelings and take sensitivity training to check their thin privilege.
Luckily this woman wasn’t the one taking up 1/2 my seat. Anthony sums it up perfectly.
Sick ‘n Tired————Oh yeah, sharing your coach seat with an obese “woke” female is far worse that merely obese.My last obese seat mate was mouthy,entitled,and rude. The flight attendant couldn’t move me to another row,but she did watch me like a hawk. It was like she knew my plans to turn off Sleeping Beauty’s cpap.
Maybe you’ll see this ? Your comment is old at this point. Yes bmi is complete and udder bullshit . I’m 53 and very physically fit . I’m 6’ 185lbs today and since it’s summer time I’m at around 13% body fat . I’m very active in the summer and spend a lot of time outdoors . My bf is measured on an inbody machine . It’s probably not exact by any means but close enough . My point is the VA always tell me my bmi is too high . I asked my doctor one day so I look fat to you ? Well you know bmi blah , blah , blah . Bmi is a way for insurance companies to make more money . I’m on TRT and hell yes it makes a massive difference on muscle , energy levels the works. The VA will not pay for it however as the rules state trt IS NOT for men who have low testosterone DUE TO AGING. The cocksuckers DO PROVIDE testosterone for female to male veterans however . Some conservatives I know do not believe me when I tell them this . It’s on the Veterans Administration fucking web site . Let’s go Brandon !
