Lizzo Says Racism Is Why Roe V. Wade Was Overturned And Black Women Are "Hypersexualized" All The Time

Lizzo has become one of the most well-known names in Hollywood. She's particularly outspoken about her stance on abortion, body positivity, and racism in America, and in a recent Vanity Fair interview, she made it very clear that she believes racism to be the source of just about every social issue she witnesses in our culture.

When Lizzo accepted an MTV Video Music Award in August, she used her acceptance speech to claim that women are discriminated in American society. “Your vote means everything to me, it means everything to making a change in this country … When you’re voting for your favorite artist, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us," she said. Many people criticized her for claiming to be oppressed when she was seen only a couple of months earlier walking onto a private jet wearing a pair of thong leggings that exposed her entire backside. Lizzo has continued the narrative that she, along with many other women, has been intentionally discriminated against by racist men.
