what is and what was considered as "fat" back then, particularly within African countries obviously would differ what colonial Europeans would consider fat, hence the conflict.
much like they were at odds with our spiritual practices they stripped us of as well.
I'll even say this, why even entirely focus on fat people if the problem of unhealthy living is a main concern, why not extend and have that same energy for folks who are also considered "healtheir" because they are thin.
Lizzo is literally obese. Not from a certain perspective, but from every perspective.
the country has an obesity and eating problem, and it very much affects black people. They are the ones getting clogged arteries, strokes and dying and losing limbs.
this obtuse “thin ppl can be unhealthy” shyt is helping no one. Obesity is a visual identifier and of unhealthy habits.
I don’t necessarily give a fukk about lizzo’s health, I care that she’s used to further make it ok to be unhealthy.
it’s no different than when smoking cigarettes was seen as cool. Can you get cancer without smoking? Yes. Should you fukking smoke? No
