Here is the rest of her statement. Seems that no matter how much you have in this life if you are black you have been discriminated against.

Iman, 53, also told Parade that her rise to catwalk superstardom did not free her from racism. "You suddenly represent a whole race, and that race goes, ?Well, that person does not represent our ideals of beauty.? For lack of a better term, it becomes what it was like during slavery," she said. "One had the field nigger and the house nigger. There was this notion that I was chosen by white fashion editors to be better than the rest, which I am not. I did not like being thought of as the house nigger."
