Fat and Black in America | James Rosser | TEDxBoston

This presentation alerts the world to a new ominous threat that will facilitate the expansion of prejudicial profiling……… weight stigma, fat shaming, and size discrimination. It portrays this new societal atrocity and racism as members of the same family. Unfortunately, the threat to the harmony of society has potentially a much greater deleterious impact. This is because obesity crosses all racial, social, and economic boundaries. This presentation offers a warning to the presence of this systemic menace and requests a call to action to eradicate it.
