Fatphobia is rooted in anti-black racism.

People refuse to take accountability for own their health. The effects of Type 2 Diabetes should be enough for anyone to be conscious of their eating habits.

Thats White supremacy and incel talk.

We're literally watching entire industries of half baked ideological bullshyt get propped up to justify our embrace of various forms of extremism tied to white feminism. First off there is no such thing as fatphobia. Obesity is killing people, ESPECIALLY black people. Especially black women. And instead of addressing the problems with our diet, exercise, etc we've decided to create a new form of victimhood to hide beneath.

There's literally a post in this thread by @RARI_Godwind claiming that Victorian era women's fashion is modeled after thick black women. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Half assed research these people do to come to wildly wrong conclusions. In reality she is wearing a fukking corset. It's a waist trainer, to make her thinner. Not to imitate big black asses.

You’re a white supremacist collaborating black woman hating incel.

 

[RaspberryFitted]

Thats White supremacy and incel talk.

Explain? I’m not familiar on how that’s Incel or white supremacy, I just know a few family members who’ve had to amputate limbs and go blind because of it.

You can make the argument that the standard, BMI, is a poor way to measure unhealthy weight and that it's more apt to the white body type and this argument is made by everyone by now. It has been criticized since the 90s as far as I remember for this reason. But go and look at footage and of black folks before 2000s and black people were routinely in shape. Definitely not "fat". Now will white folks who were lusting after literal anorexic back then think otherwise? No doubt. I can also call a dog a cat but it doesn't make it so, and their standards were equally ridiculous. But even then, the use of the word fat phobia implies that you're accepting the idea that black women's natural shape was "fat" which isn't the case. Not curvy, thick, shapely. Fat.

Folks cite women with Steatopygia like Sara Baartman to make this argument while ignoring that even for a black woman she had an abnormal amount of fat in her thighs and ass. That was not the normal shape for black women. Black women come in all shapes like any other race. So being fat phobic does not mean it cascades down to being black phobic because most black women, when in an environment where a reasonable diet and activity is observed, are not fat.

Now women and men today, of all races, is a different story because our lifestyle and diet habits are straight trash. Plenty of fat people to go around now. If you're fatphobic, you can throw a rock out a window in a multiracial community and hit a big ass bytch of any ethnicity. Fatness is everywhere now.

True logical post here. @JadeB and @RARI_Godwind

It’s crazy how Sara Baartmans physique is being used as the “standard” of what average west African female physiques looked like. That poor woman’s ailment is being used make boogeymen out of reasonable health concerns within the community some 200+ years after her death.

This is why white people would shame white women the moment they gain any weight or have any ass. They think it's ghetto , times changing on that tho, more and more white women are accepting of their weight.

White men have inherent pedo

 

[KidJSoul]

This shyt is only going to encourage black people to continue eating unhealthy


@RARI_Godwind you're being disingenuous

Most black women DO NOT have the same body shape as Sarah Baartmaan

Look at pictures of African Women, most of them are NOT fat

Not to mention, the thin beauty standard for white people only started in the 1930s, and the super anorexic beauty standard only started in the 1970s-1980s

Marilyn Monroe was a sex symbol in the 60s, and she was skinny thick/slim thick.


The whole video is ahistorical, disingenuous, and misleading.

Furthermore, what do you hope to happen with this video? For black people to not care about being fat? That's going to fukk us over.

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Spoiler

Brehs the proof in the pudding. Just watch the video. You can even do it on mute. The point of it is not to say Black Women or people are naturally fat, but the standard of beauty in Europe changed once there was continuous contact with African people, specifically women.

Having a fuller body with curves was emblematic of African heritage and weren’t aligned with European puritanical views at the time. This being so, African bodies were still emulated through dressing which is why we have sht like this

You see how the back lift up?

Fast forward to more recent times, the word bimbo has been adopted to usually mean white women with large breasts, tiny waists, a phat ass, big lips, a tan, and hardly any clothes

I assume to many of you none of this is connected. But Bimbo was a term originally appropriated from African peoples by colonizing Germans and used in reference to the women.

This familiar to you??



To this day they are affirming their beliefs of Blackness and Whiteness being synonymous with Good Bad Dangerous Safe Crazy and Respectable.

Naomi Osaka not even thin nor white like at all.

If you’re only thinking of SSBBW ass btches you missing the point. The woman, the Black woman herself who did the research isn’t even fat. This isn’t some blue haired new aged feminist bullsht. This real sht she talkin bout.

TL:DR - I wouldn’t so much say that Racism is the cause of Fatphobia but rather there is a story about women’s bodies that is racialized exactly like skin color and hair texture. What the thread is about isn’t so much fatophobia as it is Phatophobia ()

Spelling and grammatical errors be damned

The disbelief doesn't necessarily come from a refusal to listen but moreso the lack of evidence... Where is the evidence? Shouldn't it be the foundation of the historical analysis?

For example, you post XIXth century bustle dresses and compare it to Sarah Baartman. O.K., but where is the evidence that Sarah Baartman or any Black woman inspired this look? Doesn't it matter that it contradicts the main argument?

Same for the word bimbo. Everything I look up shows that it has nothing to do with Africa

Spoiler

The word bimbo derives from the Italian bimbo,[7] a masculine-gender term that means "(male) baby" or "young (male) child" (the feminine form of the Italian word is bimba). Use of this term began in the United States as early as 1919, and was a slang word used to describe an unintelligent[8] or brutish[9] man, as in Portuguese.

It was not until the 1920s that the term bimbo first began to be associated with females in popular culture. In 1920, Frank Crumit,[10] Billy Jones, and Aileen Stanley all recorded versions of "My Little Bimbo Down on the Bamboo Isle", with words by Grant Clarke and music by Walter Donaldson. The song uses the term "bimbo" to describe an island girl of questionable virtue. The 1929 silent film Desert Nights uses it to describe a wealthy female crook, and in The Broadway Melody, an angry Bessie Love calls a chorus girl a bimbo. The first use of its female meaning cited in the Oxford English Dictionary is dated 1929, from the scholarly journal American Speech, where the definition was given simply as "a woman".

In the 1940s, bimbo was still being used to refer to both men and women, as in, for example the comic novel Full Moon by P. G. Wodehouse who wrote of "bimbos who went about the place making passes at innocent girls after discarding their wives like old tubes of toothpaste".[11]

The term died out again for much of the 20th century until it became popular again in the 1980s and 1990s, with political sex scandals.[12] As bimbo began to be used increasingly for females, exclusively male variations of the word began to surface, like mimbo and himbo, a backformation of bimbo, which refers to an unintelligent, but attractive, man.[7]

and searching for an African origin shows nada. Where is the evidence?

It just seems like an amalgation of random correlations thrown at the wall.

breh on the strength of the title and thumbnail alone I told myself "Mayne, fukk that"

 

[Po pimp]

Black people have endured so much. “Fatphobia” is the least of our concerns. Every fat black person I know walks around with the confidence of a superstar. It’s like with all these current movements with people crying oppression, they’ll make black people the face of it which is making black folks soft, while ultimately, white people will benefit from it.

 

[RARI_Godwind]

Niqqas talkin bout cheese burgers n sht




I never said a thing about obesity or health, only image. But I’m the one not getting it and falling for talking points. Got me there

 

[YouMadd?]

This looked like an ad for cheese fries…..


This is similar to when they claimed sperm retention and being anti porn was anti Semitic…..

[Michael's Black Son]

When you have this propaganda running rampant in our race, is it a mystery how brehs will call you gay for preferring a toned track star physique over a woman who’s two burgers over the threshold?

them brehs can keep all of those fat bytches with the non existent disciple
