The current trend to make EVEYRTHING racist gets more and more absurd.
So Time Magazine now reviews a book that says gaining weight and going to the gym/physical fitness has its origins in white supremacy.

I'm really getting sick of the concept that if white people did it, thought of it first, thought it a good thing, then it is 'white supremacy.' If a black person did it, thought of it first, thought it a good thing, does that automatically make it a 'black' thing? Our history, all of our history with the good and the bad, has culminated in the people that we are, but it does not define who we are as a people. All of society as well as each individual should be allowed redemption, to become a better version of what he/she/we once were.
And while we're at it, when did we stop being a people who could poke fun and laugh at ourselves, enjoy the harmless stereotypes, enjoy our little quirks and differences and become a people who needed safe spaces where they don't have to see or hear anything that makes them think or might bother them or be offended?
Okay, stepping off soap box now. Take it for what it's worth.
