Ooooooooh, now I remember you...
Tocarra is beautiful. No BAD example about that. And who said the chick has high blood pressure and bad health? Size and health two totally different things. There are plenty of thin people with bad health. Next! :arrow:

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate with you and spin off this topic.
One of the major issues on HBCU campuses today is fitness. As a staff member at NCCU, we are really concerned with the amount of overweight women (and by default men) on our campuses.
A high-ranking female administrator once said "It seems like these young ladies don't care about their bodies. They act like it's cute to show their midriffs, even though it's often misshapen and jutting out. On top of this, they put belly rings in their navels to bring attention to it. Many of them have hips like a grown child-rearing woman. These women are going to deal with weight problems seven to eight years down the road."
Those were words from a prominent woman on campus, and many of the staff and faculty feel the same way. Sometimes, I believe that we as a people give too many excuses for
why we can be fat or obese, and not enough for why we should try to remain fit.
We've heard about black and latino women having different body types, from other types of women. I can't argue with that, but the difference might be the chicken/hamburgers we're eating every other day. It is ironic that just last week, we had many people on this board condemning smoking, saying it leads to emphysema, heart disease and lung cancer; yet we as a community ignore
overeating which can lead to ulcers, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
but once again i ask....who said this chick is unhealthy??? Being SMALL is not equivalent to being FIT. Just becuz Tocarra has that shape does not mean she has high cholesterol, diabetes, and every other health scare on the planet.
I have friend who is about Tocarra's size, and please believe me when i tell u that she works out DAILY as well as watches her fat intake and cholesterol consumption. Hell, she does more about her health than most of the skinny people that i know. But she can do that all day everyday, and it still boils down to the fact that it's in the girl's genes. She will ALWAYS be big busted, she will ALWAYS have big hips, and she will ALWAYS have thighs and a ****. That doesn't mean that she is unhealthy.
Since I spun-off the topic, I wasn't necessarily referring to Toccara. Looking for some feedback on the new topic.
that woman is a beautiful woman and she is not a bad example, she is a good example of how to be confident in yourself no matter what the typical IDEAL is
