that woman who made the claim is a real dumb ass. she needs to shut the hell up....she a former employee. I wonder why ?
These are the same black women crying for Gabby Sidibe's fat, ugly ass to be included HERE: God the hypocrisy.
Uh, the woman was working freelance with Essence for about 6 months and they're hardly going to exclude someone based on ethnicity (discrimination anyone!?). If the woman is competent at the job then I really don't see the problem. I'm more than happy for a black woman to be the fashion editor of "white" (mainstream - Vogue, Elle etc...) fashion mags. If she can do the job then why not? Wasn't a black man one of the main guys in Vogue years back? :smt015
That's what the egg-headed Negro intellectuals/quack psychologists and BW authors are trying to push. With BW, its always self esteem, not reality. We tend to glorify the worst and not push the best.
You see women who look like Rasputia out in the streets wondering why they can't get men. Then you see your new wave militant butch girls out there.
I hate to pick on Gabby but she's the damn poster child of a) political correctness b) BW trying to control what attracts BM and c) the white manufacturing of a modern-day, post-modern Mammy figure with a dose of Hollyweird Liberalism on the side. That they try to shoehorn her in with actual attractive people offends me.
COSIGN ON HUNDRED-PER-FUCKING CENT!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget your dash of White liberal guilt along with pandering to those poor pitiful sistas who feel neglected because their men are on the DL. You would NEVER, EVER see Roseanne on the cover of Vogue!!! And I'm waiting on Steve Tower to dash in soon.
