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..."

In a trailer, down by the Riverside?
Is that a hog ring in her nose ?
I totally and strongly disagree, although that might not be my favorite hairstyle for ANY woman.
Gross
Poor thing is a mental case.
NEVER APOLOGIZE
The correct response would be. “You bothering me about how I wear my hair or what magazines I am in makes you a bully and being a bully makes you a bad person”
Bottom line: she was paid for the shoot and cried all the way to the bank!
“Poor thing is a mental case.”
Yes, yes she is. I saw that article a couple days ago. That glamorous, movie-star life isn’t kind to some people.
LOL, everyone has different tastes. There is something about the combination of the eye makeup, and the look on the face that turns me off. Now, if she had been smiling, and took off some of that makeup...we might be more in agreement!
Argghhhhh. What the heck? Well, I suppose someone likes hardware on a face. I am too set in my ways to change that.
Didn’t pick that up, so I would say it is an unattractive girl in my eyes.
As it is, I presumed it was a magazine for adults, not teenyboppers. But I suppose there are lots of publishers these days who would market an adult-oriented magazine with a 15 year old girl on the cover.
where’s the beauty magazine?
Granted, this is the newspaper of record for a town, a cultural environment, political party, politicians and celebrities of the left who want to sexualize and normalize sexual relations with 15 year old girls and boys (see Bill Clinton, Gerry Studds and Barney Frank) so it shouldn't surprise me.
If I’d seen her at the store; I would have thought the circus had come to town.
I hear Carrot Top is going to sue...
She does.
She is kinda cute without the fright wig. But if I had to venture a guess, she has some African (or Middle Eastern) DNA.
