To be fair, MSNBC was the news outlet to most recently reveal that white supremacists are obsessed with fitness. Columnist Cynthia Miller-Idriss wrote, "Physical fitness has always been central to the far right. In 'Mein Kampf,' Hitler fixated on boxing and jujitsu, believing they could help him create an army of millions whose aggressive spirit and impeccably trained bodies, combined with 'fanatical love of the fatherland,' would do more for the German nation than any 'mediocre' tactical weapons training.
Of course, this was after last year's MSNBC column blowing the lid off the true white supremacist nature of home fitness.
Speaking of physical fitness, Scientific American last year looked at the racist stigmatization of black women's bodies and obesity. And several years ago the New York Times uncovered the link between swimming pools and racism:

Now, in 2023, that same New York Times is offering up a 20-minute pool workout, as if our eyes hadn't been opened.
Pool workouts can be a form of high intensity interval training that is lower impact than exercising on land. Here's a 20-minute aquatic routine to get you started. https://t.co/6TSEmnycSg

Having access to pools and exercise is white supremacy or something. Hitler invented exercise, of course.

Exercising? What, like a Nazi?

I was reliably informed that pools are racist and so is exercise and fitness. Help. https://t.co/lcBzYuoaOq

Hold on, I thought fitness was a white supremacy thing?

Make up your mind is exercising racist or not?

Why are you promoting White Supremacy? Do you know what black people experience at pools? pic.twitter.com/xsIz5nxyZF

Working out makes you far right. Don’t listen to this Nazi writer

This seems like major White Supremacy according to recent media declaration including the NYT we were told that swimming pools and exercise are racist so this seems like a double racist. https://t.co/EN2TL3W8rMhttps://t.co/alqRrQcX1Vhttps://t.co/7TCUecyi4d

Moms for Liberty caught hell just for quoting Hitler, but now the Times has gone full Nazi.
