Obesity haunts people of all races and began long before Trump was elected

Jeff Dunetz:

There is Trump Derangement Syndrome, and then there is lunacy. Ever since he moved into the Oval Office, liberals have found a way to blame just about everything on President Trump (during the Obama administration, they blamed everything on Bush #43). But this lady has crossed over the line into frothing from the mouth crazy. Rutgers University women’s and gender studies professor Brittney Cooper suggested on a TV program that racism and President Donald Trump are the reason for obese black women.

Campus Reform reported that Ms. Cooper appeared on the show, “Black Women OWN the Conversation” on the Oprah Winfrey Network and belched out her theory that Trump creates stress and that means Black Women are obese because of him.
...

But there’s another problem with Brittney Cooper’s argument. In 2014 while Barack Obama was president Professor Cooper was already a whale.

There have always been obese people of all races. One factor that increased it was a change in dietary recommendations by the government in the 1970s that pushed people into eating more carbohydrates and fewer fats. This led to them not burning as much fat and burning more carbs. But they ate too many carbs and the pancreas converted those carbs into more fat, thus people became more obese.

There is another problem with this woman's theory. Not all black women are obese. There are many trim black women.  The Keto diet would probably help Cooper deal with her weight problem.  It has nothing to do with politics.
