Let's Talk Lizzo

Can we talk about the recent hate Lizzo has been receiving lately? I know sometimes her shenanigans (the buttless dress) can be a little much but, I know the hate is so much deeper than just shenanigans. Let’s be honest, people really dislike her because she is a fat, black woman who is confident in her skin. And as society has taught us time and time again, these things aren’t valued in this country. She basically has 3 strikes against her.


People love to go into the dynamics of her health and how she is promoting obesity and that it’s not healthy. First, are you her doctor? Do you know her personal health information? NO! OK, have a freaking seat! You don’t know anything about her health, you are just looking at her body. There are plenty of thin/skinny people who are unhealthy or do unhealthy things. Yet because they are skinny, people assume they are healthy and take care of themselves when half of those“healthy” (skinny) people get winded walking up the damn stairs. I know a thin person who can eat a whole, large pizza and not put on any weight. I eat a slice of pizza and I’m bloated for the rest of the day. Tell me, how is eating a whole pizza pie healthy? Of course, because they are skinny, no one bats an eye.


I’m sick of the “internet doctors” always going on about health this and health that, meanwhile they are over there smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. No, you don’t care about Lizzo’s health, you don’t know Lizzo’s health, you only care about what she looks like. You despise her fat body because it’s not pleasing to you! You despise that she is a black woman doing her thing and getting accolades. A lot of you don’t think black women are deserving of such praise. You think we are at the bottom of the barrel. Well, sorry to disappoint you but, Lizzo is here and I hope that she stays for a long time. So, you can take your fake Ph.D. somewhere else.
