Replying to thekingofeurope, using lighter colors on darker skin tones surely makes the image "pop" more. But as shown on the examples I've shown on my thread, why are all the African Models imbedded with white? Why not other colors? I find this very interesting. And as for Naomi Campbell not being American, that has nothing to do with what I was going for. As yskid have responded, its about the "posture, utterance... the way your dress" that makes you "white". Thank you for the replies!

My point was it is not equally distributed in the fashion world: not just on the covers but throughout an entire magazine. What i did notice is when they (entity) used Afro-American models it was many times in ads which advertising some kind of medicine or to suggest something was wrong with being Black. To Me, this is called an unequal amount of Distrubtion. I find that disturbing. If White models are used throughout a magazine that means they are the ones being paid. Economically, what gaps are being filled? Whites in power keep it that way so they can stay in power. This ideaology is nothing new its been going on ever since people assimilated to western ways.

And, your example images show how "blackness" is allowed in the fashion magazine covers. i really like how you developed your argument. i also think that being white, black or any other race/ethnicity is not simply about complexion. being white means more than just lighter complexion. it’s about posture, utterance, facial expression, body figure, ways of thinking, how you dress, or even what you eat.
