C.D. - Ebony Mag's "Body Brigade": You NO GIRL!

ASA,

I thought I'd seen it all. 

Let me begin with this disclaimer. Under no circumstances do I believe we should belittle people, because they happen to be overweight. There are so many qualities that we should judge people on, besides how much or little they weigh.

That said, it was my utter shock, to see on Ebony's front cover, 5 black women, part of the "Body Brigade", as icons of a new standard of beauty. 

Yes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but how "beautiful" is being obese? Especially, according to the CDC, 57% of black women fall in that category (though I believe the number is higher). 

High blood-pressure, heart disease, all of the ailments associated with body fat, that disproportionately affect black women, and Ebony features THIS? The truth be told, this supports my notion, that black lives do NOT matter to black people.

And trust me, interwoven in this encompassing "fat acceptance" narrative, is feminist ideology and victimology. 

This has to stop, and now.

In the meantime, the presidential race heats up, with Bernie Saunders, surprisingly, doing better than expected, against Hillary Clinton. But, my premise stands, he is a prop, to make it appear as if Clinton has some opposition. It is staged.

These and much more, on Critical Discourse.
