One year ago today.

By remembering Trayvon Martin, we continue our dialogue about race in America.

“Trayvon was black, and holding that card is still the deadliest thing in America. If we forget Trayvon, we forget why he was targeted. We forget why he died,” Christina Coleman wrote in the GlobalGrind.

WHY IS BLACK BEAUTIFUL, TO YOU?
– We are the most diverse people. Our hair, skin, facial features and spirits are thick. We run so deep.

HOW DO YOU THINK MEDIA IS PORTRAYING THE BLACK WOMAN?
– Actually, Black woman’s image is growing more beautiful in most outlets. The only place we have a problem is in Hip-Hop. We are still sex objects in our own world but powerful in others.

WHO IS YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATIONAL BLACK WOMAN? AND WHY?
– Right now, Michelle Obama. I know it sounds cliche, but look at her! She is strong, educated, stylish and focused! She has set a great pace for us.

WHY DO YOU FOLLOW BLACKISBEAUTIFUL.SE?
– Because BLACK really is Beautiful and anyone who promotes that, I follow and promote!

“Why hire a black model when you could just paint a white one?”

In March’s issue of Numéro France, 16-year-old Ondria Hardin was photographed by Sebastian Kim wearing blackface for an editorial called, “African Queen.”

Anybody who still thinks blackface is cool in fashion? Blackface is anything but fresh and new. It’s racially offensive, not to mention completely unnecessary. Ondria Hardin was not the only model available, and I guarantee there were plenty of black models who could’ve easily done this shoot exceptionally well.
