Black Intel

I don’t know if you caught the internet buzz, but according to Jezebel.com, French Vogue did a photo shoot in well…black face. Just for a reference point I have a picture below of what the model above usually looks like. So what do ya’ll think, is this art or is the straight up offensive and racist? Side note, if they wanted a darker skin model, I here they are a couple of Black and Latina models out there that you don’t have to paint to look darker. I wonder why they weren’t picked?

Sim’s broke color lines in the modeling world and coped the honor spot on the cover of lifetime magazine in 1969. In addition to she was the first black women to make it on to the cover of Ladies Home Journal.
