Emily Bador is a white woman. She is not, therefore, a black woman. Normally, that wouldn’t be news worth reporting, mostly because it isn’t news.
But her race came into play recently due to the new cover of Blackhair magazine, a British glossy that bills itself as “an international bi-monthly magazine for the style conscious black woman. Packed with 100’s of hair inspirations, fashion, lifestyle and celebrity interviews, we are one of the leading publications for women of colour in Europe.”
The magazine, which generally if not always features black or mixed-race models, used her photograph for the cover of its December/January issue. The editors have admitted they didn’t know she was white.
Her apology:
"I would deeply and sincerely like to apologise to every one for this, and black women especially. I would like to clarify, I believe this shoot is from when I was around 15 and didn't understand cultural appropriation or the impact it has on POC. I was uneducated, which obviously is no excuse, ignorant and immature. Growing up in a very very white city, I had no idea the struggles black women face and how often they were persecuted for their hair. I didn't understand how black women are constantly told their natural hair is inappropriate/unprofessional for the work place, or how young girls are told they can't go to school with natural hair..."

Groveling...groveling!
LOL, funny how having black actors playing white men Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr hasn’t resulted in any groveling...groveling!
And that is not an attractive woman, at least not as portrayed there.
LOL. That would have been like making a movie about Martin Luther King Jr. and casting Chris Farley in the lead role.
Ug..ly
Move to Africa or the Middle East and see what it is REALLY like to experience persecution, if you aren't murdered by the natives. Time enough to put to rest the globalist-socialist myth that all societies are equal.
Equal in potential perhaps but not in accomplishment or tolerance.
I posed that very scenario on a thread yesterday...
But really...Chris Farley as MLK? I nearly spit my coffee at that...:)
White privilege again.
Maybe the model is a white person playing a black person. After all, in musical, “Hamilton,” black persons play white persons.
Or does “diversity” only work one way?
Things like nose rings? The grandchildren of Lollapolooza Nation are going to cry if you try banning them.
I didn't know that slack jawed vacant stares were also "culturally" significant.
Must have really offended the 15 people that read this magazine nobody has ever heard of.
**bi-monthly**
So does this refer to frequency of publication or sexual preference?
You finally cracked the code.
Do any of the non-white readers of that publication appropriate veddy British culture?
Cultural Appropriation? Drag her to the Hague!
Just wait until they make a movie about Donald Trump and cast Dave Chappelle in the lead role.
So a white girls picture appears on an all black magazine and its called racist. The magazine itself is racist since it is all about blacks as is Ebony magazine, another black’s only magazine. Both magazines are racist! Like Rodney King stated, “Why can’t we all just get along”? It is well past time that the race cards be burned! We are humans of different genes, get over it.
brown eyes... large full lips... I bet if she did a DNA test she might be surprised that she is not as white as she thinks.
Who cares.
Yuck. White people are gross. Get me some eyewash!!
