As long as she doesn’t dress up like Obammy...it’s ok.
Is she a conservative? If so then it is racism...if she is a liberal, it’s the highest art form known to man.
Reminds me of my toast this morning.
Don’t you hate it when your kids turn the knob all the way over to cook some frozen breakfast thingy and then forget to turn it back?
She looks very convincing as a black woman. Quite African. If makeup is that good, I need to make myself black and my chances of getting a job might be improved.
Oh my, is this what First Frump will wear to the Oscars, er, the Emmys, er, the Tonys, er, the Nobel Awards??
Although, now that I look at it, the crown may be a bit too small to fit, and a bit too, understated. That’s it. The whole outfit is too understated for MO, so forget it. Move along.
HOw about when Oprah's ugly mug is on a magazine cover every month with her straightened hair and surgically altered nose? Is she trying to look white?
Did they borrow he necklace from Meeshell?
Regard that black face it looks like a spray on tan burn.
Of course it racism. Everything white people do concerns racism.
She must not have gotten the memo about the Boob Belt being Haute Couture this year.
I see a woman of extraordinary beauty wearing sumptuous "oriental" costume in very, very, dark make-up. Much ado about nothing.
Now, you have "big lips" as sexy; with white women all over the world getting "pumped up". (Jolie maybe an exception/inspiration)
Beauty is, of course, in all & both in black and white, etc..
With Stone via photo above you have a wig that seems most Martha Washingtonesque or Colonialist. No comment there?
Hip Hop clothing was copied by white kids & their parents all over America down to toddlers.
Men dress as women, women dress as men.
But, the racism card is such such an easy card to use..
I guess many who cry racist, I feel are probably closet racists themselves, perhaps unintentional (better not to dig the hole any deeper); as Harry Connick, Jr said recently (similar words)as a talent show down under; we have tried to keep blacks from appearing as "buffoons". Odd comment: "Buffoons" and the "We" word seems like "savior" of the "weak" or the "week"?.
News: Much about nothing. Definitely not racist, just is appearing from the liberal side of the "cup"...the TV/arts/ entertainment factor.
Fashion week in Paris is suppose to inspire, be creative and shock. Leaves everyone all a-titter.
If you see this as racism, YOU are a racist. This was a tanning bed accident.
Get over it.
Now, go collect your freakin’ check.
The accusation of racism is so overused and tired, people don’t even know what real racism is anymore. In America’s two-party system, one party wishes to see blacks treated as equals (meaning that the government neither discriminates against nor shows favoritism to them) while the other party views blacks as a race of babies who require “special help” from the government at every point in their lives. It’s remarkable that Democrats have earned the undying group loyalty of black Americans when everything Dems do or say reveals that their attitude towards blacks assumes some kind of black inferiority.
It seems to me that gay men in the “fashion” industry intentionally make these women look ugly to justify their gayness. The sad thing is, insecure women, then think this is what men want. She looks like she just came out of Auschwitz without the black face on.
If liberal, she is just trying to make a profound statement about the plight of blacks in the KKK of A! If she is a conservative, she’s racist swine that should never receive another modeling job again.
