Merna’s Reviews > Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia > Status Update

I just started reading this, but it’s so heart-wrenching. A longer review later. I originally picked this up because I heard that the hyper-sexualized of black/poc women is apparently no coincidence. It’s actually rooted from a deep dark history. It also made me understand why black-fishing is wrong. It’s not about whether you do it, it’s about the context. It’s a problem when it’s over-sexualized.
