Some very interesting conversation has happened over the last few days because of a tweet that went viral this past weekend.

A pro-Black conservative woman by the name of Charrise Lane ignited the virtual fire when she put out this tweet in regards to big Black women and class.

Now as you can see, her intentions were very clear. Ms. Charrise was in no way shape or form attacking Lizzo because of her size, but because of the way she chooses to carry herself.

Lizzo is an extremely talented woman: She has an angelic voice, she plays the flute well, and makes great music.

Unfortunately, Lizzo doesn’t let her God-given talents be the focal point of her image.

The main thing that people recognize about Lizzo is her obese body — I blame her for that.

Not only do I blame Lizzo, but I also point the fingers at white mainstream…
