I was looking at my Gmail inbox when I came across the subject line of this post.

I knew I had to open the email, and boy, what a read!

Currently, I haven't read any of the articles you allude to, but geez...even if the origins of exercise involved some people who were racist, so what?

How would that take away from anatomy and the forces of physics and gravity?

But I can go even further back in time: people have been exercising since the times of the first humans, when we had to run away from predators. I don't think race played a role there.

(Yes, people may have run away from others who were different, but I don't think that was due to race (if race was even a factor), but probably more a matter of scarcity and resources.)

But yeah...I think that, generally, we'll see things get more and more bizarre, and increasingly painful for those who choose to stay asleep.
