Fat Activist Your Fat Friend - Whiteness, division and police violence (Part One)

In Part 1 of a two part conversation Sofie talks to Your Fat Friend about whiteness. It’s an uncomfortable and flawed conversation because it’s two white people talking about whiteness but, in the face of global systemic white supremacy and police violence, it seems an important conversation to have. 

Trigger warning – coronavirus, racism, white supremacy, violence, murder, slavery, misgendering, mental health issues
