Lizzo Says Fat People Suffer From The Same ‘Systematic Oppression’ As Blacks

Lizzo Compares Blacks ‘Systematic Oppression’ To Fat Shaming

Pop superstar Lizzo, is currently trending on social media after she told her followers that overweight people (or “fat” people as she called them) suffer from systematic oppression, similar to Black people.

It all started when a TikTok user asked her followers: “Would you trade places with someone on the heavier side?”

Lizzo responded to the question publicly. The beautiful pop singer brought up the famous experiment when Dr Jane Elliot, a sociologist, publicly asked a room full of White people “would you trade places with a black person?” No one raised their hand.

According to Lizzo, the TikToker’s question was similar to Dr Elliot’s – and made a similar point, Lizzo told fans that “no one would switch places with a fat person”.

Lizzo explained further that both overweight people and Black people experience systemic oppression.

Last year’s November, Lizzo claimed money doesn’t buy happiness while speaking on fame. “Fame only puts a magnifying glass on the sh*t that you already have,” the ‘Truth Hurts’ singer said in an emotional TikTok video.
