In a recent article [1] on ABC News, a fashion photographer by the name of Nick Knight made his feelings about “racism” in the fashion industry known by creating a short, silent film [2] starring the anger-management-impaired [3] model Naomi Campbell and a pair of Uzi pistols.
What we have here is not a cry against injustice; it is another attempt to play the racism card to gain notoriety.
Why isn’t there an outcry for American Indian, Fillipino, Inuit or Pakistani women? It is not because they are less deserving; it is because they don’t have a powerful lobby in their corner.
Interesting, but ultimately unimportant.
The answer to this problem lies not in the racial sensibilities of the fashion and cosmetic industries, but in the accountants’ ledgers of the marketing firms that create the demand for the products.
The only colors that matter here are black and red, not black and white.
