Colorado lawmaker blames minority poverty on fried chicken

A Republican state senator in Colorado is coming under fire after implying at a hearing on Wednesday that African-Americans and Hispanics faced increased poverty because they ate more fried chicken.

Sen. Vicki Marble (R) offered the remarks while the legislature’s Economic Opportunity Poverty Reduction Task Force was examining statistics behind racial disparity in the poverty rate, according to KDVR.

“When you look at life expectancy, there are problems in the black race: sickle-cell anemia is something that comes up, diabetes is something that’s prevalent in the genetic makeup and you just can’t help it,” Marble said. “Although I’ve got to say, I’ve never had better barbecue and better chicken and ate better in my life than when you go down south and you — I love it.”

“The Mexican diet, in Mexico, with all of the fresh vegetables, and you go down there and they’re much thinner than they are up here, they’ve changed their diet,” she continued.

Marble went on to mention “alcoholics, rageoholics, drug addicts, you have people, they say, who are addicted to porn.”

Whenever I see a thread by Hazlnutjob I know the title is a lie. I dont even have to read the story to know that.
This thread is no exception.
The legislator is saying things that, as mentioned, Mooshelle Obama says herself regularly. Does Hazlnutjob not thnk diet plays a role in overall health?

I thought she was talking about obesity being related to eating certain foods. Where did she say eating fried chicken causes poverty?

I would agree that excessive alcohol and drug use would cause poverty because those people are too strung out to work.

Give me that!!! I'll gladly go into poverty if the alternative is no fried chicken!
