Here, we have H&M's new June Issue
Go Ahead - Take Your Time
Go Ahead - Take Your Time
Okay, let me assist you. Here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a beautiful "traditional" African Print dress, styled perfectly with a headwrap. In addition, accesorized with bracelets and a large beaded necklace. Hm… Something is missing. Perhaps, eh, I don’t know - a BLACK woman?
No - wait, that can’t be it because we ALL know African Queens look like this…Whether it were a African American, Jamaican, Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, or Haitian, the roots are in Africa.
Feel free to share your opinions.

even though i am darker toned.. true africans dont always have to be represented by an extremely darker toned women or man...
I have aunts who are very fair skin, even my mom is light...
So being a true african (Nigerian) i dont really see an issue...
Not to say i want that fair tone to represent african people all the time... but i promote equality...
(great tribe song btw... didnt know u had it in u Mil$.. haha)
You sound mad brainwashed-like, right now like one of them Bean$, I'm sorry.
"Fair skin?" Son, that chick is WHITE!
My girl Alfie said it best - "...I don’t care if they hide behind a veil of “oh, it is for fashion.” At what cost is the statement? To have African-inspired (not even inspired, it looks damn near traditional which makes the design “ripped off”) to be legitimized through a corporate logo, and a skinny, ivory-colored/blue-eyed woman, a socially-defined characteristic of what “beauty” is. This is why so many young females of melanin go thru self-hatred. It is because of advertisement like this."
Come on Bean$, you talk about equality but you have a white women holding the title of a QUEEN for an entire continent where the majority of the people carry melanine in their skins. How equal is that? All the time? Don't black people already have a problem in the industry. P.Diddy said it himself. Where you at, man? Of all people, I expected you to take this as an attack on the Black woman.
I still love you though, sweetheart. smh. Even if we don't see eye to eye.
