Naomi Campbell: Victoria Beckham used too many white models
New York Post ^ | October 29, 2013 | Stephanie Smith

Posted on 10/30/2013 8:01:53 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Supermodel Naomi Campbell called out her friend Victoria Beckham for only having one model of color in her presentation during February’s New York Fashion Week.

But Campbell revealed to the UK’s Daily Mirror that she phoned the Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer personally about the matter.

Campbell, along with fellow supermodel Iman and model advocate Bethann Hardison, are spearheading advocate group Diversity Coalition, which calls for more faces of color to be used in fashion shows.

The Coalition in September wrote an open letter to governing bodies of Fashion Weeks around the globe, calling out an number of designers and brands including Armani, Donna Karan, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein for lack of diversity in their fashion shows.

"Faces of color..." Incredible that people actually use these terms. I wonder if the offended party is upset by how white males are portrayed in most TV ads. Always breaking in houses, getting their faces slapped, not being able to hammer a nail without the house falling. Likely not.

“Always breaking in houses, getting their faces slapped, not being able to hammer a nail without the house falling.”

And lately being portrayed as the villiage idiot while the “people of color” are always the intelligent ones. Yeah that mimics real life all right......NOT

This is disgusting—even more so on a personal level, it is profoundly disturbing.

I’m sure Naomi is just as offended by the rosters of NBA and NFL teams.

my husband goes off about that all the time, not even the people of color aspect, but just that Dads or Men in general are portrayed as idiots, whereas kids and women are the wise/precocious ones.

Naomi Campbell is three sides of ugly and now a race hustler too. There are all sorts of Black segregated shows, a network (BET), and award shows such as the NAACP Image Awards (as opposed to substance I guess). But how dare there only be one Colored girl on Beckham’s runway! What a scandal!

I recall an ad a few years ago where a daughter hit the father below the waist and as the dad was in discomfort, the daughter laughed. The mother then said “Don’t laugh at daddy, that is mommy’s job!” Then she laughed. Imagine that being reversed where a son and husband laughed at a mother/wife who was in anguish? These people are disturbed and sadly I only see it getting worse as the brainwashed youths get more power.

Actually, leftists really believe fathers/men (particularly, white versions) are stupid, evil or irrelevant.

A sitcom? I am not familiar with that.

The father of the leftist ideology desperately wants to destroy the father’s influence in the family, because that destroys the family as a concept.

I continue to be amazed that it appears to be only white folks being the accusers of racist policy. Are black people just going along with it because it perpetuates their perceptions?

When Sissy Matthews cries “racist”, Al Sharpton simply nods in agreement and follows along. Who’s the “Tom”, now, Rev. Al?

Will black people ever stop laughing at the white folks who think they are protecting those “faces of color”?

Don’t forget how the white guys is just a verbal punching bag for the wife and kids on sitcoms. All he’s good for is his wallet.

Hence why do not watch any tv outside movies and sports.

It’s her business to use the models she chooses.

If it’s so very much better to use “models of color” let her competitors do that - and thereby bring her to ruin.

I’ve had it with political correctness and eagerly await manning the guillotine (following the soon to come CW-II) on ALL who pursued this line of work.

To all PC minions, shove it up your collective smelly Obamaholes, STFU, and await your doom, dorks.
