…

She is not in blackface. She has some kind of makeup on making her look darker (and better).

she look purple to me and this is not ‘blackface’ as we know it. she is unattractive either way

@Hannibal

Why you gotta say all that??

This is not a good look on Vogues or the models part. If they wanted a “black” model, maybe they shouldve hired a REAL one!

y didnt they just get a real black woman… always imitating

Damn Hannibal, that was racist but I gotta agree.

@NIQUE

I APOLOGIZE…

White ppl look scary as f*ck in black face

@ hannibal
everything you’ve ever said on her is an opinion. fact is, alek wek IS attractive to people, just not you. Stop being so self-centered and bring some information people can benefit from. You’re pretty much a waste and a big mouth.

Black or white, that model’s face is not cute….

THAT IS BLACKFACE..WTF.. NO ONE SHOULD EVER MOCK US AS A PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THE “MOTIVE” IS.. WAKE UUUPPP!

this is offensive and no surprise…the fashion world has always made it clear what they think of black models and this just proves that they have no respect for black people and don’t value us as viable consumers….

@ Nique
No. I am not calling it art.

I say Alek wek does white face now, lil bit of patience and whole lot of white out should do the trick

This is such a shame…why couldn’t they get a black model to do it and why do white people insult us so much and then try so hard to be like us? I am not really into the modeling world but I KNOW there is a black model out there that could have done just as decent a job! This is really sad.

@ Hannibal
what you say is an opinion and what I say is a fact. Alek IS attractive to people, just not you.

Such a shame white people are so f-ing bold to do this. I can understand why they might’ve thought they could get away with this, though (fashion). But no, FAIL

@Hannibal

LOL! Shut up…you are dripping with sarcasm

Some of the folks down under are out of pocket.

@chikkagosfinest

I hope you werent serious with “WHY COME”….

@Wintz

I think the question is what hood is she from? LOL.. why come??

This is NOT black face. I love the the pics and think they’re very artistic. Even America’s Next Top Model did a shoot where they made all the girls become a different race. She’s not shucking and jiving or saying anything offsive or even posing in an offensive way. She is simply painted darker in an artistic expression. You mean to tell me a black person has never painted themselves lighter to make fun of white people.Complain or speak up when there is a real problem.

White people will do ANYTHING not to give a black person a job. A great philosopher (Paul MOoney) said it best: “Everybody wanna be a ni99a, but nobody wants to be a ni99a.” [Take a moment and let that marinate]

“We don’t give a damn if white people think this mess is couture or whatever.”

LOL at B*ssip staff frontin’ like they’re black. SMDH. Y’all don’t really think you’re foolin’ anybody now do you?

@ Hannibal, why do you have a monkey face on an in an outfit that resembles our First Lady. Are you African-American? If so, why do you hate yourself. “White Models are the best”. I find your picture to be offensive on a site like this.

Also, white people have always wanted our skin color, WHY ELSE DO THEY SPEND SO MUCH MONEY GETTING ‘TAN’. THey are obsessed with the benefits of having darker skin but do not want to be BLACK. If they can paint their skin black to resemble us they dont have to hire black models. I find the picture offensive because they are making her appear as a black model and should hire black models instead.

EVERYONE wants to be us…..lol. Put Alec in whiteface……….I would pay anything to see that……..

@HANNIBAL..STFU…coming from a RETARTED RASCIST LIKE YOURSELF…ALEX SHOULD TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT. God MADE ALEX…so if you disapprove with her GOD GIVEN LOOKS take it to GOD.

ANYWAYS….this is beyond FOOLISHNESS…takes you back to when BLACKS where immitated by WHITE PPL back in the day when BLACKS where made fun of.

If anybody that is BLACK thinks that this sh*t is OKIE DOKE, is plain IGNORANT and DISRESPECTFUL aganist there own ppl. SMH.

Just a MAJOR SIGN that rascism is still on the RISE.

They could have EASILY CHOOSEN ALEX WEK OR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL BLACK MODEL..but naw the broad had to be white in immitation of a gorgeous black woman.

OK WE ALREADY KNOW WHITE PPL WISH THEY COULD BE BLACK..but hate to ADMIT IT.

….@ Dajournalist
……….well said…….

@Black is Glamour

ALEX WEC AIN’T NOTHING BUT A CROSS-DRESSING AKON!

HOW STUPID….to do such a photo.

Theyre just CLEARLY REPRESENTING THE FACT that they will never HARDLY EVER rather, choose to work with an ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL BLACK MODEL, but rather a WHITE PROFESSIONAL MODEL to LOOK like AN ASHY BLACK DOPEFIEND MODEL. because if they think that sh*t represents what our REAL BLACK models look like, then there just as stupid as the idea of doing such a photoshoot.

I am a beautiful black woman who turns heads..I know Alex Wec is beautiful..Hannibal you are “special”

@Hannibal, if thats true in that empty head of yours..then AKON should be very thankful to have such a gorgeous twin. ALEX wek is the eptiome of natural dark beauty. Hate it or LOVE it. The fact remains.

OK OK PEOPLE! YOU’RE RIGHT, ALEX WEK IS BEAUTIFUL!!

lol@a cross dressing akon

What’s the problem? You colored gals are always bragging about how white gals want y’all black features and skin, well here’s a white gal who’s emulating y’all. Y’all should feel complimented and validated, but nooooooo, here y’all are acting like a bunch typical bitter black gutta snakes. Y’all just mad because this white gal done improved upon y’all looks.

@Nique

He looks about 12 with stacked sausage link lips

gal? are you harpo?

@i love white girls- u cant improve on the original- u just mutate it- so stfu and go 2 tmz

dwl @ Kerry’s comment

Wintz

*There isn’t a shortage of Black people… take a look around u if you think i’m lying.*

There maynot be a shortage of black people, but there is a shortage of thin beautiful blacl gals tho. The problem with some of you coloreds, is your lack of perspective.

I see Uncle Ruckus 1 (hannibal) and 2 (i love white girls) are in the house today…damn get off the plantation…yous free, i says yous free…no need to shuck and jive for mr. charlie today…

and the models name is ALEK WEK…

This is such a slap in the face! Where’s the art in painting a white woman black? All she is missing is the red lips!

@as seen on tv

yous free, i says yous free…no need to shuck and jive for mr. charlie today…
___________________________________________________
DEAD!!!!! LMAO

Wintz

Don’t get pissed off because you know i’m right, Toby.

White women go to some extreme lengths to be like us…glad that I’m an original.

I think the pictures are beautiful from an artisitc standpoint. It also doesn’t surprise me that whites see the beauty in our ethnicity that we ourselves are too ashamed to see.

I don’t see what the big problem is here. Vogue already knows “their clientelle” won’t purchase their books on a regular basis if it features black models.

Think about the people that buy Vogue for a second…

White people love to do the Black face because deep down in side they wish they had melanin. Their bodies cant produce it so they tan and put black face on. Sad. Thank you god for my golden brown skin : )

How is it that Black people lacks perspective? We evaluate the facts just fine… we just don’t emulate your perception on the matter.

May u continue to be annoyed, disturbed and threatened by the accuracy of our interpretations. We are high achievers, breaking the boundaries in all sectors imaginable and it has u shitting your pants. Pathetic! Get over it.

As for our beautiful women, don’t hate on their voluptuous boobs and Great ass… we’re blessed like that! @ I love white women

Stop acting like someone just stole your dinner. Michael Jackson did permanent white face and white people didn’t complain.

Why are white people so damn desperate to be black!

They should leave it alone then. Why the hell r they taking up what they can’t handle? And in such fashion at that? @ Man I just Don’t Care

Why are white people so in to the Black face makeup, skits, jokes,etc. It ain’t funny, it doesn’t make any fashion statement whatsoever, and it damn sure ain’t cute on anybody. What gives white people?

I say Alek wek does white face now, lil bit of patience and whole lot of white out should do the trick

_____________________________________________________

agreed!

Is this the regular of the Vogues that comeo ut in the other countries?

Awesome

Stop. Not this early in the morning.

Michael Jackson did whatever he did for his own reasons… Why would they complain when it sold their papers? @ Awesome

@jb

Lol ok. I’ll resume later this afternoon.

She looks…weird.

Why didn’t they just use a black model?

So did anybody hear about the white girl who won the Ms. Hampton pagent (Hampton University – HBCU)…everybody is in an uproar because she won and she attends through a satellite campus in Virginia Beach not even at the physical campus. Thoughts???

@ awsome o–u r right MJ did do white face, and what did whites do–found confirmation in the fact that he did not want to be black–they turned it in their favor

Oh I forgot to leave my comment on this post…this women did this so she can standout from the over-crowded seas of white models that look better than her.

No hate..just speaking the truth.

*Wintz

Michael Jackson did whatever he did for his own reasons… Why would they complain when it sold their papers? @ Awesome*

Then you just answered your own question, then, Toby. Vogue did what they do because they can and for the paper. It’s called capitalism and commerce. Ya’ see, it’s all about perspective.

*Speaking the truth…

So did anybody hear about the white girl who won the Ms. Hampton pagent (Hampton University – HBCU)…everybody is in an uproar because she won and she attends through a satellite campus in Virginia Beach not even at the physical campus. Thoughts???*

That was covered yesterday on a different thread. It was a humdinger too. Over 600+ comments. A lot of pissed off colored gals.

Brit Chick she does look weird…

damn..missed it.

*Speaking the truth…

damn..missed it.*

Yeah, that white gal, Sydney, who pretends to be black was ranting and raving all day with all those high falluting big words, decrying the unfairness of it all.

@ Awesome

Stop acting like someone just stole your dinner. Michael Jackson did permanent white face and white people didn’t complain.
————————————————-

AWESOME!!!!

Wintz

Tsk, there you go again, letting your emotions circumvent your C level reasoning and intelligence. You can’t give Micheal Jackson a pass by attributing his WHITE FACE racist transgressions to capitalism and on the same hand accuse Vogue of blatant racism, when in fact what they did is akin to what M.J. did, but on a smaller less extreme way. Ya’ see, it’s all about perspective, Toby.

JB

You gotta a lot of bling for a colored gal. Is your boyfriend/pimp/babydaddy a drug dealer or a rapper?

WTF??? I am tired of these models trying to be Beyonce in Dreakgirls!!

Ok, honestly, I don’t know what everyone is so ‘upset’ about, I used to model back in the day and this is nothing but selling an image. This is not offensive to me because I see it as nothing but the particular photoshoot paying homage to black skin and black features. If a black model did this shoot then the message would be missed. It would be nothing but a black model posing. It’s just like when white or black models may dress up as a geisha and slant their eyes with makeup to pay homage to the asian look. Be objective people, open your mind, EVERYTHING is not meant to be racist or offensive.

Two things:

1. White, black or striped that chick is FUGLY. She coulda at least had on a cuter outfit.

2. It’s not artistic, it’s tacky.

I know other countries are a little behind the times in terms of racial political correctness, but come on. They had to know Americans would see this and find it someone offensive. LAME!

Wintz

I think your problem is you’re resentful of the fact, white people do BLACK better than you coloreds. Robert Downey Jr. shoulda won the Oscar for best supporting actor in Tropic Thunder. He brought something that’s been missing in the character of the colored man – QUIET YET STRONG DIGNITY!

Honestly, I’m not offended. If you ask me, the model looks better black than white. The BS done on Hey, Hey, It’s Saturday was plain offensive, ignorant, and racist. The minstrel shows in America were done to specifically demean African Americans with the help of white performers portraying their ‘steroetypical’ views of blacks. NO black person looks like the BS on the minstrel circuit. There’s a difference in making a white or black person up to look African or Caucasian for the sake of art and etc. and just being plain insensitive and stupid. However, I wonder why French vogue couldn’t just use a black model. Oh well. And as for people ‘screaming racism’ all the time … if you ask me whites IN CONTROL OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA are the ones ALWAYS making an issue racial, presenting it to the public through television/print to ignite a racial firestorm or perception of blacks being upset over the alleged incident, and boom! You got imbecile whites complaining about blacks playing the ‘race card’ again, when it’s just the media playing with brainwash, uninform Americans once again. I swear Green Day was right in the song American Idioit: America is CONTROL by the media. Hook, line, and sinker.

*Wintz

Last time i checked C was higher than D*

Well at least you’re SELF AWARE. It’s refreshing to run across a colored who has embraced his AVERAGE-NESS. Kudos, Toby.

Oh plz Caramel Cat… that statement is just plain ignorance.

The sea aint just blue… there’s a depth to it.

lol Average is a step up for you, Bruno. U should try and get there so i can return the kudos… wink

Wintz

Toby, do yourself a favor, and don’t get on the wrong side of Caramel. I’m familiar with her comments. She’s out of your league, C average. Stay in the slow lane, boy.

Maybe if they took more time to hire black models they would have to result to this type of thing. Big up’s to Kim on Housewives of Atlanta for having the foresight to see the inappropriateness of this.

@Wintz

Oh plz Caramel Cat… that statement is just plain ignorance.

The sea aint just blue… there’s a depth to it.

~~~~~

You’re entitled to your opinion, but I don’t see it that way. *shrugs shoulders* I guess it just takes more energy and time to try to find a problem with everything I see, so I’d rather not…

I think that it is sad that there are so many companies refusing to use black models in this recession. Many companies feel that with their advertising money they would much rather use white models and therefore many ethnic models are out of work. So instead of French Vogue choosing among the many ethnic models, they choose to employ a white model and supposedly paint her to appear ethnic.. I think that is very sad.

@I LOVE WHITE GIRLS

‘C’ average huh? lol and smh…

Awww…Bruno wants to give advice… How ambitious! You’ll probable reach that C average u talked about. lol Cute though! Work on ur dumb azz b4 u holla @ me Slob. lmao

Caramel Cat

Have you read Wintz shit. If he ain’t C average, i don’t know what is. LOL!

@ Cranberry

Aint that the truth…

*Wintz

@ Cranberry

Aint that the truth…*

Awww, i see you found a playmate to ride share in the slow lane. How apropos.

I personally think that shyt is HOT!! Maybe I’m biased because I’ve been in the fashion industry for years (no longer model, though), but it’s a very elegant, well done editorial shoot in my opinion.

@brownbarbie

I personally think that shyt is HOT!! Maybe I’m biased because I’ve been in the fashion industry for years (no longer model, though), but it’s a very elegant, well done editorial shoot in my opinion.

~~~~~

That’s what I’m screaming but many people just don’t see it that way…

I seem to remember Tyra doing the same thing on ANTM!!!!

Our white brothers want to be black. Hell, I wish I could be white when dealing with the courts.

Our white brothers want to be black. Hell, I wish I could be white when dealing with the courts.
____________

LMFAO….courts, banks, dealerships just to name a few.

why not just use a african american model? this is pure mockery and ignorance. I do not find anything fashionable about this.

Is this going to be the new tan trend.

NEW TAN TREND ALERT:
——————–
1. BUTTERSCOTCH
2. CARAMEL
3. CHOCOLATE

d

she’s 1 UGLY BLK CHICK…..and that’s y GOD made her WHITE!!!! STICK WITH WHAT U KNOW SWEETIE!!! SO SAD!!!

I don’t love it.

I really dont see what the big deal is here..
its just photoshoot people.. & everyone buys vogue including black people, so its not really a white people entertainment.. (& im black, if u was gona ask..)

It’s really not that serious…… I’m black but sometimes I feel like we as a people are too damn sensitive. Was anyone protesting when the Marlon brothers did “White Chicks”? I mean c’mon. Some folks need to know what to get upset about & what not to….

If u want a black model get one .. She doesnt have the features to carry off that look my opinion.. She aint no mother earth now.

Weaves 99.9% come from china they are stamped made in china what ive seen in past on these accesories. Lady model here above not cuttin it end of.

thats their past n still is their present

Why didn’t they just get a black model???

Kigali and a lot of people on this site are wht so dont waste yr breathe on em…walk past them and dont even throw water to quench em if they are on fire.

@jj

Stop trying to build up black females self esteem by lying about white women especially when you wearing Indian hair, blue contacts, and use Ambi cream everyday.

Black females need to stop trying to build up their self esteem on such spurious foundations.

Wow oh wow…@ Kigali I am black and don’t do any of the things you listed. Stereotype much?

Anyways…why didn’t they just get a black model?

l

In poor taste.

Sick of blacks complaining about every damn thing. There is a such thing as crying wolf. I’m black and I’m sick of hearing about how everything’s racism, so I know the rest of the world is tired of it. If you think about it, putting white makeup on a black model is more offensive. They are trying to make a white woman black which is more of a compliment than if they tried to “whiten up” a black model. Glass isn’t always half empty.

Dude this sory is making me fall asleep !! I don`t care !

typo : STORY SORRY !

white girl in Black makeup = BLACKFACE= EPIC FAIL.

AS Y’ALL ARE BLOGGING STUPIDLY, IM SURE THIS CHIC MADE HER MONEY OFF OF IT AND IS CHILLING IN SAINT TROPEZ GETTING LONG ISLAND.

INTERNATIONAL MAN

You must not have saw the ” What is Good Hair” episode on Oprah when the white chicks paid top dollar for the Indian hair as well.

Alex is an ugly beast and as my white mother states put on a pedestal to make it seem black women are ugly.

@ Kigali

Cosign 100%.

@morgan
your mother is a trailer trash cracka wh*re who loves african madingo. hmmmm yummy. GTFOH

@WTF
why do you black women ALWAYS compare yourselves to white women????

@I LOVE WHITE GIRLS

Because Naomi is too old, Alek Wek would be too obvious, and all the rest are too big, i.e. plus size. It’s Vogue, not BBW.
****************

that’s not true…here are a few names to start with:

Jessica White
Alek Wek
Liya Kebede
Yasmine Warsame
Eva Pigford
Selita Ebanks
Chanel Iman

shall I go on?

on another note, as a white woman (Armenian) who has been blessed with naturally olive skin which tans REALLY really easily to look a gorgeous golden brown, I have to agree with Kigali…no white woman is tanning trying to look black, no black woman is getting hair extensions trying to look white…we all do what we can to enhance our own good looks and features. women need to quit hating each other…it’s sad. we’re all fighting the same battle ladies. no matter what color our skin is.

@I Love White Girls

ohhh sorry you already mentioned Alek Wek…so allow me to replace her with:
Ajuma Nasenyana
Oluchi Onweagba (who is absolutely stunning btw)

@oh well
you are right oluchi is stunning. she is like the nigerian goddess.

chanel iman.. i met her once, she is so nice.

ON one hand i saw this and thought art, but on the otherhand, knowing international affairs (most intelligent people do), one would have to know the plight of blacks globally. i see them “reaching”, but this is more symbolism. Really bad symbolism. She looks a mammy trying to dress up in one shot. In another she looks like a dictating hoe…coins on the hat, a militia style jacket, with her legs cocked wide open. In the other shot, she’s an entertainer…akin, the “Cotton Club”.

UGH.

I can can only give them the credit for the great lengths of imitating us.

You can’t get pissed, you have to laugh at them and spend your money. That’s pushed at us to keep us from focusing on our money. Everybody on here argin’ and cutting eachother down. That’s some crazy mind-control when you can put up a picture and people start fighting. lmao.

Either way the model looks bad. This was done in bad taste.

@africa

@oh well
you are right oluchi is stunning. she is like the nigerian goddess.
***************
she’s beautiful and not used nearly enough…she needs to get more work. I’m tired of seeing models who look identical and the same all the time. we need some variety and diversity in fashion.

INTERNATIONAL MAN

I was simply making a point that you may have know but failed to aknowledge because you wanted to belittle the Black woman. Pathetic.

whats funny is that they didnt even hire a black model. the underlying message is that we want to be a white girl, if fact we strive for it, but this is what you are…wow. well, i have never wanted to assimilate or take on their culture. yes, it is interesting, just like the rest, but i embrace my culture. so while this makes me trip off the minds of some of the people in this world, i just laugh abd smh at it because in no way shape fashion or form is it relative to me. i dont try to assimilate, im not a militant gold diggin hoe and i dont get on stages in skimpy clothes to entertain men. and if there are such women, they have the will and right and i dont pay it any mind, i have my own niche so i am disassociated beyond the sheer knowledge. lol.

@oh well
you are right, but she use to get her shine back in 2004/2005. i guess now they stop using her.. she needs to go model for black artist clothing line, like pdiddy, akon, phat farm and others to boost her credibility and to showcase her talent in the media.

@WTF
when did i ever belittle black women?? please show me, or SHUT THE F*CK UP.

This article is BS. Symbols have different meanings in different places. It’s OK to wear a shirt with a swastika in India, but it’s a bad idea to wear that in Poland. People from other countries don’t see blackface as inappropriate not because they are racist, but because it wasn’t used to harm anyone in those regions of the planet.
You have no right to demand them to see the symbols your way. The US isn’t the center of the universe.

aw hell naw. i just looked at the bird shot. i guess we are “birds” too. damn. lololol.

matt

those french vogue people know what they are doing. they saw that amber rose shoot and ran with it…

@HANNIBAL : You’re kiiiiiiiiiiiiling me with your frankness! LOOOOOOOOOOOOL! I can’t stop laughing! You’re so BAAAAAD!France loves you!

But… ALEK WEK is Hot…

@bb

thank you, I appreciate that very much.

it’s disheartening for me to see so much hate and discontent among people no matter where I look. I don’t get it…at the end of the day we’re all people who contribute our own unique qualities to the world. why cut each other down?

@africa,

I agree with you. I also think she should have a better agency representing her.

international man= havenoballs

don’t even bother, he has to use different names because that way he can be as racist as he wants, without copping out to it.

HANNIBAL= COMPLETE TRASH

What is racist about this?!?!?!?

I think there is history specially in American “entertainment” that makes it racist or at the least inappropriate. but even if you disregard that, the fact that so few black models are getting work these days, one has to wonder why they didn’t just use a black model instead of painting a white one black…IMO that could be seen as racist as well.

are you familiar with Selita Ebanks? she’s STUNNING.

Vogue simply took the idea that NeNe had for Kim. No one complained when NeNe insisted on Kim being painted black for an alter-ego. Is it because a black woman recommended it? Did we really hope that Kim would go thru with it? Whatever… We thought it was funny when Dave Chappelle did skits a white man and the Wayans Brothers did White Chicks. People please…find something worth complaining about…we can’t have it both ways.

WOW…so much ignorance in here.

ignore the jerk offs who waste their time coming to a mainly black site and throw around racial slurs trying to get a reaction. don’t give these bored individuals what they are seeking. sad and pathetic.

France knows what the minstrel show! They even had their own. Klein and Roitfeld are just trying to make publicity for themselfs. They don’t care who they offend. There are plenty of black and mixed models in France.

she look worse then a deprived somolian.. maybe we should use them as models.. and she still look sickly when she white so..

damn

Not sure I get the point… they coulda just hired a black model to begin with.

@STOP HATIN- you are stupid. you must be marquis /kigali. no brain whatsoever.

you be submissive. you keep kissing their butss.nobodies stopping you, why do you need others to join you?

I;m not down with the sell-out, before I do,I’ll get the hell out.

I bow down to NO man. I believe in my higher power and submit to my husband. men I don;t know, especially from other cultures, mean nothing to me…

RIGHT? people should be concerned with LIFE. where they came from. the spirit and success of being.
but people try so hard to be better than the next person. its so stupid.

@always knew

I see your point. after I made that comment to you and read the other comments I don’t blame you for getting upset. you just sound like you have more class than that…so don’t let the a-holes of the world get under your skin and force you to act like them. if you ignore them and their antics you can avoid the shitty foolishness all together and make them and their hateful comments ineffective. that’s all.

be well.

btw, I’m not black.

@oh well… thanks.

and btw: I;m not blk.– It doesn’t matter. I just don;t like hateful comments directed toward blk women. It doesn’t matter what color you are, as long as you can see through the lens, and see that because we are all different, we need to appreciate the differences and not down others,because they don’t look like or follow what everyone else thinks…

I;m sorry if i offended you, but I really do mean what I said… And I agree abot being brought down to ther level, but this is day after day, every thread about blk women. It does annoy me…

im not racist, i just speak the truth.

@always knew
you didn’t offend me, no need to say sorry at all. I knew/know exactly what you mean. I’m not a black woman but I can see what you’re talking about on a daily basis here…and can’t imagine how you as a black woman must feel. but these morons aren’t even worth your time…or the effort you put in to type to them. you’re better than that. just laugh at their ignorance and feel sorry for them…the world they live in is so sad and ugly that i can’t help but to pity them.

what is wrong with black face black people do white face

Who is right?

Do you think the White House’s criticism of Fox News is deserved?
Yes, the station presents its news with a right-wing slant.
No, there’s a difference between news and commentary.
I’m not sure.

OK why didn’t they just get a black model for the shoot?

@always knew

LOLOLOL…you sure did get to them. these morons are so mad they’re not even comprehending what they read or making any sense. LOL…nicely done

Could they not find a black model? Did Naomi, Selita or Chanel not answer their phones? This is ignorance at it’s best.

Basically, if she’s not illegal, I’ll give her a job. After I check e-verify.. See I’m trying to help you and look at how you act..Don’t get mad, after all I’m just responding…

Grow up. You can’t even compee, even on playing the dozens. your not from here, you’ll NEVER get it…

@chicago
they did not feed them in the boat, they were darker than akon himself too, and singing massa we shall overcome.LMAO

How is Skin Tanning any different then Black face? These people depict, mock whatever you want to call it, Black people because their desire to BE BLACK. Black cannot continue to let “images” of Black be a determinant to who we are. Believe it or not I am more disturbed by all the “Black” men that choose women outside of our race to date and marry. The biggest insult to our people is when we insult ourselves.

that wasn’t me that wrote about kfc and watermelons, f u to whoever is trying to frame me

@tyty- “The biggest insult to our people is when we insult ourselves.”

Thank you. Point made.

uh oh someone else is using “white male” and making racial remarks, that’s wrong.

@always knew
getting emotional? i don’t belive you married a non african american man, you are a liar. if you are married to one you should know better than to diss foreigners. i pity your husband literally, he chose a bad wife. anyways i never dissed black women.

“but hey rationalize any way you like. I’m not the one spending all day on a blog site whose visitors are mainly black…the very people I’m claiming to hate and criticize. what’s your issue dude?”

*************
are you trying to insult me? LOL…you fail AGAIN! try harder next time dear. that is no insult at all.

no, I don’t like people generalizing about my entire RACE, as evidenced by the many comments that were made, by you and the other idiot,before I even came on ths thread…

I am married to a Haitian man. I would NEVER marry African- American because their values and belief in this cuture and materialism, is too much for me to have to deal with on a consistent basis. I like being comfortable but no way could I be with an African-American man. And I’m glad you think I am a bad wife. I’m not yours. You don’t belong in my household, so who gives a rat’s ass, what you think. Pity yourself, the comments that you made, earlier, show that are OWNED. I;m not gong to point out the comments that you have made mny times on this thread and other theads, about how wht women are SUPPOSED to be better than blk women and that’s what started the argument to begin with… short memories and even shorter brains and wallets. I’m done, there’s nothing else to talk about with you, your a frickin idiot…

@always knew and international
to white people you two will always be n*ggers. so shut the hell up.

@OH WELL
yes sir black woman, say what time does 106&park come on?LOL

@ignorant bastard

and if you are white, you will always be short of a chromosome–not even human.the missing link is your brain.

@ALWAYS KNEW
WHAT? i never said anything about white women being better than black women. you are such a freaking liar. you just want to start an e-fight. also i find it disturbing that a married woman with kids will have time to blog and curse everyone in here. like i said before you are a BAD wife and mother.

@ignorant bastard- “@always knew and international

and you say i am ignorant with that statement you just made. it seems you getting mad, but if you want to go there, i shall go there.. believe that. cause no one is perfect.. bad mother.

@international man-”so you saying blacks and hispanic should help one another and fight white people because they are the bad guys???”

how about we just call a truce and you stop crapping all over blk women. And actually yes, all people should band together, when they see wrong, no matter the pigentation of your skin.

I’m not sure what that is…but let me google it and get back to you.

now are YOU really black? if so I find your self hatred disturbingly sad…if you’re not black then I find your ignorance and hate-filled nature sad…either way you are a sad human being. why do you think that is?

@INTERNATIONAL MAN

just yahoo searche 106& park…that lead me to the BET website…but I’m not sure if it’s a TV show or a music festival/event…there was both TV show info and tour info…

anyway…you keep dodging my questions, which is ok…as long as I get you to think about whey you hate your own people/skin color so much. it’s really a shame. btw, you can think I’m a black woman, as I said before that neither offends me nor insults me…so by all means…have at it.

this is very nice, i love ittttt. black people pls stop comlaining and go find a job or make some money like she did.

@OH WELL
it just rare to see other race backing black women up.LOL its veryyyyy rare, but anyways do you whatver race you are i clearly don’t give a f*ck.

black woman LOL

@ WINTZ, @RENEE, @ROTHCHILD, @ ALWAYS NEW YOU ALL SAID IT TO A TEE, AND I AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU 110-MILLIONS, 110_BILLION TIMES AND 110_TRILLION TIMES WELL SAID AND PUT TOGETHER THATS NOT FUNNY WORTH A DAM.

@INTERNATIONAL MAN

@OH WELL
it just rare to see other race backing black women up.LOL its veryyyyy rare, but anyways do you whatver race you are i clearly don’t give a f*ck.

black woman LOL
***************
well…instead of being a defensive, racist jerk you can just say that and ASK me why I feel the way I do…you know, like normal human being do…by conversing and discussing things they don’t understand. that is how you learn things. not by slinging insults and racial slurs at strangers you don’t know, can’t see, and don’t matter to. any illiterate moron can use insults and go back and forth, there is nothing special about doing that. don’t you agree?

and if you go back and read my comments you’ll see that I was not backing black women…as I don’t think they need any backing. my initial issue with this story was racism and ignorance. and one doesn’t have to be black to protest those two things.

I couldn’t raise a blk female in this day and age.
Much easier with the boys. You have to be a STRONG BLK FEMALE IN ORDER TO RAISE GIRLS, NOW-A-DAYS.
Way too much hate, I wouldn’t even no where to begin, besides trying to love her as much as I could and teach her how to be a good woman… but anyways, have a good night everybody..

Night night lady.

@always knew
bravo good story NOT.LOLL

@OH WELL
if you saw what she wrote about foreigners and even her own people, also to hispanics then you should have common sense to not side anyone. you hypocrite.

@oh well
also i never converse with you, you started insulting me first and i played it off by ignoring you. scroll u and re read everyhting she wrote to me and i wrote back to her.idiot

up

@INTERNATIONAL MAN

@oh well
also i never converse with you, you started insulting me first and i played it off by ignoring you. scroll u and re read everyhting she wrote to me and i wrote back to her.idiot
*****************

it’s a message board…we all express our opinions and converse with eachother. if you can scroll up, then you can see that my first comment to her was about her using the N word…and how she shouldn’t let ignorant people get under her skin.

and again, you try to insult me by calling me an “idiot” is that a defense mechanism so you can feel better about yourself? because you have no idea who I am or what I’m about so how can you decide that I’m an idiot? lol…again…any idiot can use words to insult others…or at least attempt to, but it takes much more intelligence to actually hold a meaningful and fruitful conversation with someone else…you choose which person you want to be.

I don’t see black face at all and I actually think the picture with the headdress is amazing and the makeup in the last pic is just wow. I have been asking myself for the longest time why do Black people especially women look for validation through other races changing themselves to “look Black”. Anytime a person of another race tans or gets collagen people start crying “look they all wanna be us”. Face it people they don’t. They may take our slang terms, our style of dress, and our music but at the end of the day they would never choose to be black if given the choice. That privilege(specifically white) is too great to give up. Even if that was a valid sentiment who cares?! Where would that get us? Love yourself for being yourself not by comparison to someone else because that is not truly loving yourself.

WHITE CHICKS anyone- it goes both ways.

@oh well
you called me a jerk remember, and you don’t even know me too. so please we are even. also i addressed her in an ignorant way because she did the same to me. i respect all races and was brought up right. like my dad said handle a dog as a dog and a human being as a human being. she decided to behave like a dog and talk crap about my people and i had to handle her like a dog. so like i said before do not be so simple minded and side one than the other.

@ HANNIBAL…..

I THINK THAT YOUR SOLE PURPOSE ON THIS BLOG IS TO MAKE HATEFUL RACIST STATEMENTS. I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN; BUT IGNORANT ENOUGH TO PLAY THIS STUPID GAME TO GET A RISE OUT OF PEOPLE. GET A LIFE. YOU ARE IGNORANT EITHER WAY.

We…AS NORMAL..ARE MISSING THE MARK!

HINT TO DUM…STUPID BLACKS….

WHEN WHITE PPL MAKE FUN OF YOU……START YOUR OWN

WE SHOULD NEVER EVERRRRR..FUSS AT WHITE’S,,,WHEN WE NOW HAVE THE POWER TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN!

When white’hire white’s
(make your own company’s and hire all blacks)
If the NFL wants to fire blacks.
(Make your own NFL)

GETTING BLACKS TO THINL WITH AN OPEN MIND,IS LIKE GETTING A DONKEY TO DO WHAT U WANT HIM TO!

THINK

Everyday same arguement. Move on people, the world is changing, don’t get left behind thinking its all about you. It’s not.

Regarding Alex Wek.. If you knew anything about high fashion you would know their standard of beauty is based on BONE STRUCTURE and SYMMETRY. The Fashion industry loves girls who are unique, aloof, and original. Like someone else said beauty is subjective and there are more ugly people in the world of every race than the pretty ones..

Seriously.. it’s a new day and age. any failures you have for someone in their early 20′s or younger is your own damn fault. Stop blaming the man, get some experience, plan your future and get over. Stay away from people like “International Man”, they do very little in terms of progression for anyone.

The thing to do here is ignore it. If the Black community (if there is one in France) ackknowledges this then they will have given the magazine what it wants, attention. White people love nothing more than credit and looking smart. See http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/ #113, #70 & #20

@oh well
since you “claim” you are not black, and i am not racist, then lets go our own way and forget about it. i am a jerk? I KNOW

@oh well
ever been with an african man before.LOL

this is quiet disturbing and at the same time creative.

Americans gave Australians a caning for blackface, and told us that the two reasons blackface is offensive are, historically -
1. It made African Americans look like buffoons, and/or
2. It took paid work away from African Americans

This Dutch model has taken paid work away from a black model! Now that you’ve all “educated” us about why blackface is offensive, how come you only get offended when it suits you?

im sure they could have found a black model somewhere!

who is going to the Holloween parade in NYC? I will give someone $100 if you show up in ‘whiteface’. let me know where you’ll be….$200- if you bring a ‘matching’ friend…

so this is the new type of art they could have gotten a black person to pose for this and not paint a white woman. we have many black females in the modeling and run way world that could have done this and done it how it was suppose to be. having a white woman pose as a black female shows that they think that black models are not worthy enough to have opportunity at something like this, I have done fashion shows and this here is something that has really upset me. i don’t care if it was in another country i know that there are black people all over the world.

YOU TOO

“MAKEUPFACE”

@STORM IN A TEACUP

WHEN YOUR RACE IS OPPRESSED 500 YEARS AND COUNTING, GET BACK TO ME WITH THAT QUESTION. I’LL HAVE AN ANSWER THEN!

@internationl faker

why do you care where my name comes from? its my line name. whats your issue? what kind of a name is international man? a wack assed one.

thanks mekamac.

they really do. and delusionals here think that whites dont wish to be black.

i mean damn. aint chic painted black all over? thats INDEED trying to be black.

everyone knows people want what they cant have.

@rothschild
shut the f*ck up, you sound stupid and you don’t even know it.

@ Pooshanora…..well stated and i completely agree

Why not just get a black model.

Didnt Tyra do something similar to one of the girls on ANTM?

@makeupface

wow that was brilliant

What u guys also she be aware of is that in the Netherlands they celebrate Santa Klause. In which the white people go black face for two days. Look up Black Pete! iT is sick! I live in Amsterdam and it is a very well known celebration/ tradition! So she is used to this being dutch and she will never see anything wrong with it! As most Europeans won”t.

$300…….

@ Matt and everyone else claiming that black face is an “American” problem.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface

I am so tired of people acting like racism is only an American thing.

It really isn’t a blackface,but it’s still sad and a little deranged as too what people will do for a quick BUCK!

So how many people were upset enough to make a change and complained to Vogue or Conde Naste about it? If we dont like what we see call the companies and complain and not support their products i.e Hennessy, Moet, LV, Dior etc are owned by Conde Naste publications

I don’t condone what vogue did, but let’s not forget that the Wayan brothers did a similar thing with their “white Chick” (or whatever it was called) film. How is that any different?

“This is such a shame…why couldn’t they get a black model to do it and why do white people insult us so much and then try so hard to be like us?”

How’s it insulting? And if it is insulting, how’s it any diiferent than the Wayans dressing up as “White Chicks” or Dave Chappelle powdering up to be a white guy? Just be consistent.

Why does the dialogue all ways have to take a negative turn on this blog? It’s kind of depressing and some of you people need a hug. Really Bad!

I can’t say that I am offended. It is supposed to be a form of art–modeling.

YOU HAVE TO BE IGNORANT AND CLOSE-MINDED TO CONSIDER THIS RACIST. OBVIOUSLY MOST OF YOU DONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TAKING A PICTURE FOR FACEBOOK AND TAKING A PICTURE THAT DISPLAYS A MESSAGE. ITS REALLY NOT THAT SERIOUS. AND YOU WONDER WHY STEREOTYPES EXIST….

WHAT ABOUT BEYONCE BEING PHOTOSHOPPED AND LIGHTENED ON HER SPREADS? NOTHING BUT LOVE THERE RIGHT? SMH

really sad…l am a huge fashion fan, but when black models are still not being used enough…this kind of layout is not funny and NOT really cute…this new model is supposedly the new face, but she was turning down jobs cause she thought she was too fat….a complete mess…bad idea all around.

WOOOOW HaHaHaHa!!! Hilarious

why didn’t they just hire a black model? are they that racist that they cannot hire a black model to do a shoot? see this makes me mad because they are cutting our blacks models out of putting food on the table. WOW! i’m totally disgusted with this ignorance!

Darling it’s called fashion. As much as many of you would like to think that you know what fashion is all about, you havent a clue. And just so we’re clear, fashion cannot be found in a shopping mall. I think she looks exquisite in both black and white.

WOW still finding ways not to hire black people i see..KMT

No comment….I’m sick of this racist bullsh*t day after day…

Im am a black female and I refuse to be upset by that I am a strong believer of free will. You have the right to look and act the way you want rather you are getting paid to do it or not. Even though she make a very UGLY sista that is the way she was paid to look. I get so PISSED by the rants of mt fellow bro an sis. But we have to wake up, we do the same thing that they do and then we get mad that is retarded. WE HAVE DRESSED UP LIKE WHITE WOMEN (IE. WHITE CHICK AND THOUGH WERE MEN I DID NOT SEE ANY WHITE WOMAN GETTING MAD THEY ARE THE REASON IT HAD SO MANY SALES ON THE OPENING DAY BECAUSE I KNOW I GOT THE BOOTLEG COPY),WE TALK ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE (IE. IN JOKE ON TV AND THEY LAUGH AT THEM) AS SOON AS THEY DO IT ITS A PROBLEM. WAKE UP AND WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING MORE THAN A WHITE PERSON DRESSED UP IN BLACK FACE, OR THE N WORD. LETS TEACH OUR CHILDREN HOW TO LIVE IN THIS JACKED UP WORLD SO MAYBE IT WILL CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL IM SAYING IS THAT IT IS JUST ART!!!!!!

@thats life Thats all i been tryna say…

Kigali, I have seen plenty of white chicks tanned darker than me here in europe.I’m a biracial.There are lot of beautiful black models out there like Channel Iman, jordan dunn,Liya Kebede…Why put a white model? I don’t care if white people tan,because accusing them of wanting to be black would be they same of them accusing black people wanting to look whiter wearing weaves or wigs and thats not true 90% of the times.White people would have also got offend if there would be a black model on a black magazine paint all white trying to look like a white model.

Alek Wek is BEAUTIFUL!!! It’s really a shame that so many Black people, as well as White, have been brainwashed to believe Black is not beautiful.

It’s just FASHION , they don’t care about races if you don’t get it is always about money , power and manipulation , you will never understand Fashion
if you are a black model just be the best and shut up! if you are white model just be the best and shut up!
Magazines make big money and they need you to gossip, it sale better , they not even racist , they don’t care …
they play you all the time and it WORK…
SCANDAL and Drama ….
She look much better with her real skin color but she got the job and the fame …being BLACK
