They wrong for that shyt. Viola looks like a kidnapping victim from the Grim Sleeper or something.

The got the cac women looking like royalty and the sistas looking like they about to go out on the auction block.

But these same magazines and editors will probably feign ignorance, and nikkas will still be breaking they neck for acceptance from them.

Sooooo, where's the issue here?
The issue isn't the portrayal of Viola or Lupita, it's the contrast. The white women are allowed to be glamorized, whereas the black women are suppose to look downtrodden. I mean look at Viola, she looks like she's fearful of being attacked, looking like she had to fight all her life.

If all the women were depicted in the same natural, makeup free manner, then there wouldn't be a problem. Liebovitz, who has a history of degrading Black people with her photography, took these pictures. i will always side eye her work. Plus, you can't deny that if these pictures weren't posted together, you would think they were in two different magazine issues. There's no theme in this work, besides the glamorization and uplift of White women.

This is the same photographer who did this.

Not familiar with the photographer, but I see what you're getting at. The group photo kinda doesn't shed light on what you said in response to the way Viola and Lupita were depicted. Without that one, I can see where you'd have an issue, but if her intentions were to depict women in their most natural form, I think she did a pretty good job with those individual portraits. My personal opinion though.

I shouldn't be laughing at this, but you so right.
