Favourite Top African and Black Models

[electricladyland]

It's not about what you choosed but why you choose it. Unfortunately some people have internalized so much racism that they are ashamed to be black. They then down play their blackness by announcing that they are all of these other things as well. Or they deny their blackness altogether if they can pass. That is their right of course. And I'm not saying that anyone should deny his/her other ethnicities, but if they are ashamed of one part of their heritage then, how sad.

Why not be proud to be mixed (not a mut....mixed!)? Why should they choose sides, why not admit your mix and embrace it? I'm pretty sick of the topic to be honest and I wish we all just move on already!

of course you should "admit" your mix and always be proud of who you are. I'm not sure why there is such a need for a black african model thread if we should all just embrace being mixed.

Personally I don't see why there shouldn't be! I mean isn't there still a 'mixed' as you say thread for models? I think these recent 'discussions' have a better place there if they constantly are being addressed. And I agree with Simply in just moving on.

I was flipping through a recent book about Ali and noticed that blackmodels are well represented...well with some great legs anyway. The model is of course Naomi,anyway it tickled me and the quote could sum up this thread...jokes. Photo Source:scanned by me

I have to say here in the US this 'summer' so far has been very nice with the great showing of blackmodel's beautiful faces on magazine covers. Anyone else noticed...jokes?!
