Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: lady in the mall yesterday. [View all]Marengo
(3,477 posts)I'm not "outraged" by your mention of her weight. On that point, I don't understand why you would do so at if not as an indication of a charachter fault in your mind.
That she is a "racist person talking about shooting up the White House" is entirely irrelevant to the discussion we are having, as is whether or not I have ever responded to a post ridiculing Limbaugh's weight. That's simply a desperate defence and deflection tactic.
No, my "outrage" as you characterize it results from your statement that you assumed her weight to be something she has control over. This is not always the case. Your statement reveals a common prejudice which I experienced first hand.
FYI, my obesity was a pharmacological side effect. Within a few months after the treatment ended, I returned to normal weight. A difference of nearly 100 pounds.
