Fat, Black and Woke

Sports Illustrated magazine has historically showcased a beautiful, sexy woman with a perfect body on the cover of its annual swimsuit edition. Not this year. In 2026 it's time for obesity and ethnicity to be celebrated, and what's a better way than with a photo of a fat black lady?

If I were as fat as Lizzo I would stay at home sobbing, drinking soda and eating pizza and cinnamon buns. But then, I'm a white Jew and nobody is celebrating us these days, certainly not the mainstream media.
