gettin’ real tired of skinny folks who feel it’s their fucking god given duty to comment on pictures of fat people living their lives, art of fat people, and shit that is meant to empower us to talk about “yeah it’s great that you love yourself, but you’re unhealthy and you’re going to die”

like rlly

what is the point of this

you do realize you’re saying nothing new, right? like, does it enrage you just that much that us fatties are living our lives, and trying to enjoy them? why does that make you so angry and desperate to cut us down? how dare we enjoy our bodies, how dare we like ourselves, how dare we not cower in the face of your thinness, am i right

and you know it, too

you know that we’ve heard this all our lives, you know that we hear this when we go out, when we stay home, when we read magazines, when we watch television

but it’s just too much for you that we’re not fucking miserable

so you see that happiness

that search for self confidence

and you reblog that post to comment on how we’re going to die, and make vague health threats that rely entirely on bullshit that’s already been dis-proven

and you pretend you’re not being cruel (you are) by faking concern about a body you will never see irl, a body that isn’t your business

and it is fake concern, don’t you dare tell me it’s not. you don’t know my medical history, you don’t know what i eat, when i exercise, or how i spend my time

but you see my fat body

and you automatically feel the need to threaten me into silence and self hate again? for someone who supposedly cares about my “health” you certainly seem to want to do a lot of damage to me

If you decide to ignore race you’re then erasing hundreds of years of history. If you can’t see race, then how do you know why the people on top are on top and why the people on the bottom are on the bottom? You lose racial context and it would only end up reinforcing racism.

So are you saying that we must judge people based on their race instead of their character and put the oppressed on a pedestal, treating them like gods?

Yeah, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d rather not worry about someone’s race. I’d rather look at, as Martin Luther King Jr. even said, the content of their character.

oh we quoting MLK okay

let’s quote MLK and what he had to say about white people that are “equalist” (that ain’t even a word)

“I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”
