However, their lack of understanding or belief in a shared struggle, or what we might now call an intersectional analysis, meant that many fat folks were shut out of fat activism. Let’s take a look at the impact of race as an example.

While fat, many of these activists lived with the privileges of being white, heterosexual, cisgender, middle or upper class, and/or American; they had very little incentive to incorporate other struggles into their activism. This resulted in the voices of people of color, among others, being left out of the mainstream fat acceptance movement.

This product of white supremacy became intertwined with the deeply patriarchal project of keeping women literally and figuratively small. This put white women in the position of having to remain slender in order to recoup the benefits of correctly performing their gender and race. Further, this early period solidified cultural associations between laziness, fatness, and Blackness which have carried through mostly unchanged to the current day. These messages have also become internalized within Black and other communities.
