It’s been impossible to tell a fat Black woman to lose weight for decades.

Tell me about it. There was a congressional hearing on black maternal mortality rates recently in which one Dr. Crear-Perry, a black ob/gyn, stated on the record:
"The structure of our American society causes poor maternal health outcomes for Black people, not individual choices or genetics. Structural forces include our political, economic, justice, and education systems, as well as racism, immigration status, classism, gender oppression."
Sooo ... it's not that they come into pregnancies obese with all the lovely obesity-related conditions like hypertension and diabetes, or with addictions and crappy eating habits ... it's society's fault.
