From Colorism to Fatphobia to Racism, WE have to change our ideas about beauty. There isn't one standard of Beauty. Beauty varies from culture to culture.

The problem is, when you live in a Colonized nation, you have colonized minds. And if you have colonized minds then it doesn't matter what you THINK your culture is, it has been influenced and altered to that of those who hold the privilege and the power.

In other words, Black Culture has been influenced by European Culture and since they hold the power and the privilege in this nation, they hold the standard of beauty. It's not just Black Culture that's influence by these standards but Asian Culture are changing the shape of their eyes. Latinas are lightening their skin and hair as well.

Why? Because there is one standard of beauty and it is European.

Now, when it comes to Fatphobia. We have to be educated about what is health and health has nothing to do with body type. We have to change our ideas about Fat bodies. Fat bodies aren't worn by lazy people who don't care about themselves. Every BODY is different. And every BODY deserves love.

I am sorry this is so long, but you got me fired up.
