I don't know where to start with this. The comment made about not hiring black models because their noses and butts are to big tells you what they think about us. What's our response? Well, we will try to lighten things up, maybe some surgery, maybe label our selves "mixed", that might hide our big butts and noses. Sad.

The fashion world is getting to the point where they no longer give a damn what black folks think. Why should they? Are black folks going to ORGANIZE and boycott them?

you can try to boycott them or start to invest in industries supporting mostly black models and black fasions. that way we boycott them by taking our money away at the same time our designers finally get a break since they are ignored by all even black people.

Why should they care. Most of us want to weer their clothes, and overpay to wear them.
It is known that we are notorious for liking to over pay for things. We buy more name brands than anyone else when you look at the percentages which is all that matters. We do not care what they do to us, and they know that. If we don't care for ourselves, why should your enemy care about you?

Now this is the funniest shyt I've seen on BP so far. Yes, the model looks ill, very ill. Her size, stature and features are caucasion. She looks just as ridiculous as black women with the round nose and thick lips with a long silky blond wig which I see every day. So what's new?????????????

Yes, I am definitely for the boycot of all white businesses as possible. I do not eat in white restaurants nor do I go to white or asian nail salons. When I go into Chicago, I frequent a black vegetarian restaurant. When I'm not in Chi Town, I only go to those restaurants that have a sufficient number of black employees. I never go into asian, indian or mexican restaurants or white restaurants with ZERO Black employees. You all know that the asian, indian and mexican restaurants do not hire blacks at all.Yes I do go to white supermarkets because there aren't any black one's around, but I only go in the ones that have black employees (not just one token black).

Getting back to this article, whites have been emulating us for centuries. Why do you think they impregnated our black women? They really wanted to darken their race. Did you ever stop to think about why there are so many tanning salons around? Hmmmmmmmm.... Did you ever wonder why they sell so many articificial butts and why so many white women are getting artificial butt implants? I wonder why they continue to copy our music. Ooops, did someone say the Beatles? Did I hear you say the racists E L V I S? Stop complaining! Be pround of yourself! Better yet, act proud of yourself and teach your little children - our little kings and queens - to be proud of themselves. This article is telling you something....
