Pop star Lizzo shares nude selfie to 'change the conversation about beauty standards'

Back in December, the once-respected Scientific American did a piece on the stigmatization of black women’s bodies. We noted in that post that obesity hadn’t cost pop star Lizzo her share of fame and fortune.

“The Racist Roots of Fighting Obesity.” OK. Sabrina Strings and Lindo Bacon explained:

This heightened concern about their weight is not new; it reflects the racist stigmatization of Black women’s bodies. Nearly three centuries ago scientists studying race argued that African women were especially likely to reach dimensions that the typical European might scorn. The men of Africa were said to like their women robust, and the European press featured tales of cultural events loosely described as festivals intended to fatten African women to the desired, “unwieldy” size.

Strings has also published a book entitled, “Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia,” if you want to know more.

In any case, the aforementioned Lizzo recently decided to post a naked selfie to “change the conversation on beauty standards.” You’ll note from the screenshot that this article was published in … Women’s Health magazine.

Cosmopolitan says this is healthy. Scientific American says your beauty standards are based in racism. Why is the media so intent on telling obese black women to stay that way and be proud of it?
