Obesity: The Plight of the Underclass

Mississippi is the most obese state in the United States. According to Lauran Neergaard of Huffington Post, over 32.5% of adults in the state of Mississippi are obese and have been in for 5 years. He also stated that 44.4% of the children in Mississippi state as well as adults are obese. This is the ratio of 1 in 2 people to 2 people. Tommy Rogers at the Education Resource Information Center claims that in addition to being able to argue that he is the heaviest person, Mississippi residents are also the poorest states in the United States, with 20.6% of the population living in poverty I pointed out.

These two subclasses preceded the United States as a political alliance. The lower class black, the chain worked hard for centuries and hoped to be free - first all the physical and then political. They found themselves concentrated in the southern - cotton king's home. Lower white people, many of whom are descendants of Scotland - Irish peasants, can come here freely. They tend to concentrate in the rural areas of the eastern United States, especially the Appalachian Mountains.

Many writers often emphasize the social psychological aspect of the lower class. The lower class is generally thought to have beliefs, attitudes, opinions, and desires contradictory to the beliefs, attitudes, opinions, and desires of society as a whole. Lower classes are often described as "frustration" groups whose members feel "isolated" from mainstream society. It is said that the lower class recognition and literacy rate are low in relation to the discussion about psychologically abnormal lower class. Therefore, the lower classes are considered to be mentally separated from other societies. Please consider the following points.

I think that it is not important that the lower class of white is better than the lower class of black class. These two groups are not exactly the same, the current dilemma comes from different reasons. But the results are nearly the same. As I mentioned, it is rare for a white classmaker to meet a family who does not have at least one member in conflict with the criminal justice system. Indeed, in recent years, the population of Caucasian prisons has increased, but blacks and Hispanics are still imprisoned at a higher rate, but the profit margin is gradually shrinking; this article can be seen in the Washington Post. It is also a plague that spreads drug abuse. Family and community are also dissolved. There is no economic opportunity. It is strange to talk about "white privilege" in this context. If some of these residues still exist, it will disappear with active editing

Although it may be denied, we must admit that this is certainly a racial issue. The lower class dilemma is not considered another (serious) American economic inequality. Residents of these black slums are experiencing an internal sense of helplessness, socially isolated, helplessness and despair, vulnerable to stereotypes, difficult to enter normally, weak mutual help networks to their stereotypes Claimed criminal acts, sexual preferences and mental retardation are common targets for public ridicule. In short, they are suffering from an untouchable status. You should not need a big perception to see how this deterioration is related to the shameful history of black ethnic relations.
