Fat black women are apart of the marginalized group of black women. They’re turned into memes. They’re the poster children for what’s wrong with our community. They’re not considered beautiful. They’re harassed. They experience intersectional discrimination of racism and fatphobia. They’re made a mockery of. And they’re always compared to a racist point in history that forces them to feel shame and guilt for existing (the mammy reference). Fat black women deserve a healthy, positive representation in black culture. They’re not your shame you hide in the back of a closet.

I just wanted to say that I really, really like you, I kinda have a crush on you, and I think about you a lot. And I’ll think about you when I’m up there.
