Me and S. Baldwin often talk about issues that face all people of color, but none so crazy than what's brewing on the internet.
There a photo circulating around the internet from Garage Magazine.The editor-in-chief is using sitting in a chair and it appears that a half naked Black woman is posing as the chair.
See this picture below, it's pretty..........SMH!
For those who don't know the lingo its called shakes my head.
Clair Summers, the editor of FashionBombDaily.com, alerted us to the unfortunate feature and calls the image an example of "white dominance and superiority, articulated in a seemingly serene yet overtly degrading way."
We couldn't agree more, Although the chair also comes in "white woman", we can't help but filled with anger and frustration over to plague the fashion industry. Free Bethann Hardison's crusade to end racism on the runway to our attempt to educate society over and over and over again about the nonsense that is Blackface-- the stories of racially insensitive absurdity are never ending.
The junk food media wanted to reach out to Dasha Zhukova, the Russian editor-in-chief of Garage magazine and Miroslava Duma the editor of Buro 247 for comment. So far no comment.
Do you have an opinion on the matter?
Let us know!
The Huffington Post reports this on The Black Voices segment.

I think this is disgusting no matter what color the model is.
First, why did the model agree to be in this photo?
Second, why do all women in these kind of photos degrade themselves and their gender?
