Activist Demands Reparations for All 'Fat, Black' Women
National Review ^ | June 10, 2016 | Katherine Timpf

Ashleigh Shackelford says she's owed everything from housing to free Beyoncé tickets.

According to a piece on an "intersectional feminist media" website, "fat, black" women are owed reparations due to the "trauma" that comes with being one.

"The case for reparations for fat Black b****** is: f*** you, pay us," self-described "queer, agender Black fat femme writer, artist, and cultural producer" Ashleigh Shackelford writes in a piece for Wear Your Voice.

What kind of reparations? She makes sure to clarify that, too:

Let me be clear, though: when I say, "F*** you, pay me," I mean, "F*** YOU. PAY ME." Pay me a check, pay me consistently, provide me safe housing, offer me a job with benefits, run me those Beyonce tickets, finance my clothes and wigs and aesthetics, cultivate accessibility to spaces and provide seats that fit me, see and validate my humanity.

Shackelford insists that these reparations are well-deserved, because "[t]he intellectual, emotional and actual physical labor fat Black b****** provide is actually invaluable to the entire world."

I'm very sorry, the dollar store is all out of pork rinds at the moment, and my dear departed grandmother was the only family member left that knew how to prepare and cook lambsquarter (a plant that's poisonous if not prepped and cooked correctly) and poke salad.

Looks like you'll just have to make do with lima beans and salt pork if you want to stay kosher and keep your figure. Or if you're adventurous you could sample the 'cross the street neighbor's menudo made with fresh tripe (sowbelly). Yum! Dig in!

We’ll take up a collection to get her covered up.

I think it will take several rather large collections to get her covered up.

I hear that they “pay you” when you get a job. Government being what it is, maybe they’ll create a position to give traction to the rear wheels of city buses in the winter.

“run me those Beyonce tickets, finance my clothes...and validate my humanity.”

To paraphrase the late John Vernon, “Fat, dumb and stupid is no way to go through life. “

I’ve never heard a black woman called a “Bimbo” before, but they probably exist in this case.

If any of this passes it should also include a provision that any of these dirigibles also must wear a license plate from their home state.
