Most Nigerians are ignorant to what racism is, so, they can come here and downplay it.

What do they know im the racism discussion? What do they know about it? Nothing. That is why they can spew such ignorance as "she's African, so, next to a caucasian, she will look immensely darker"....the sheee ignorance in that statement is befuddling. Is Adesua the first African to take a picture next to a Caucasian? Have we not seen others? Did they look unusualky darker than their natural complexion? Did this same Adesua not feature on The Wedding Party with a Caucasian? Did she look this dark next to her?


They are ignorant of racism and that is why they will continually be mocked and spat on by the self-proclaimed 'superior race'.

Dignity is not by appearing on the cover of a fancy mag.

When you're old enough to understand, you'll know racism and insecurities are two different stigma. Let Bellanaija do a magazine cover with 3 black girls and a White girl, then see for yourself who'd be very obvious in it.

Trustee1:

Say that to Gucci using " Blackface " for advert or H&M. racism goes way beyond asking a black man to stand for a white folk.

TechCapon:
It's true. Look at the picture very carefully, she looks out of place and like a house girl. First, she's the only one whose features was partially blocked from the view of the camera. It's almost as if they're hiding her. This is a really good shot like this below

Trustee1:

I honestly don't get your point. Try to be more expressive in your English else speak Pidgin.

safarigirl:
I see no reason for your insult, as I was buttressing your point.

I write very good English sir, so good that I make money off of writing.

Perhaps some of my grammar is above your head, hence, your rather harsh criticism


I was supporting your stance, too bad you couldn't deduce that.

midnighter:


Youre right but those are extreme examples of cultural sensitivity. Your own comment was talking of putting any black woman at the centre of any photo with lots of Caucasians, for diversity's sake

It should be at the discretion of the designer how best to display his art.

If there were a photoshoot involving black africans with one white person and we kept putting her at the front, at the centre, and all that, would you still name it "diversity"?

I suspect you would still complain

Trustee1:

I still don't know how people go about parading all forms of childishness in public. Dude Grow TF Up.

Dreew:


Ok I get your point. Your low self esteem is on another deeper level. Old age?

biosilicon:


My hobby is writing black history dude. And this inferiority complex you are so brazenly displaying here is part of the problem.

Trustee1:

This argument is so unnecessary. If you see my point fine, if you don't finer. How many magazines have you seen uses a black constantly for a monthly issue. Please if any let me know and make sure it's not a bellanaija or it's kind.

Don't stress yourself more than you have done already trying to make kids here see beyond their noses.

There's everything wrong with that picture. I was so disappointed the first time I saw the picture. From her scanty head gear to her sitting position. There's nothing creative at all about it and only God knows why the magazine found it worthy to go to town with.

The first time I saw it, what came to my mind was a slave girl from the kunta kinte series. The girl is way much prettier than that.

I'm even more shocked about the people here who doesn't see anything wrong with the pics.

For the fact that she's Petite is reason enough to give her a bold placement.

The picture cast a barbed wire on her beauty.

No wonder it didn't break the internet.

Parents need s to keep phones out of the reach of kids till they're matured mature enough, not by size or age but by mentality. Keep being a baby.

Trustee1:

I honestly had no shade in mind. I was being honest and wanted to know what your point is. I'm happy you saw clarity in what I said and also sincerely apologize if my reply was offensive.

dominique:
I agree. The worst I've ever seen her look is on that magazine cover, it's like they darkened her skin and toned down her looks. I saw same Vogue cover on E channel the other day and it was only Scarlett Johansson and two other ladies, she was not included meaning she was only featured in the cover distributed into this part of the world. Not downplaying her achievement on the cover but truth be told, the magazine didn't do her justice on that cover at all.

Dreew:


Which school did you finish from, old man?

jaxxy:


Not True. It was a pale shoot everybody even the whites were not on bright make up like the glossy shoot u put up. They all look smiliar and not projecting. Maybe that the photographers theme. Like an early 60’s look.

Complex won’t kill sm people everything isn’t about racism pls. Adesuwa didn’t necessarily have to be in the middle cos sm1 else will have to be placed smwhere.

A better picture wud have been with adesuwa in the middle bt then the shoot/attention will be all about her and maybe that’s not the concept they want.

SEE BATARD :DOJUWKW VERY JELOUSY TRIBE.IMAGINE A SUCCESSFLL WOMANW

apology accepted

Trustee1:

I honestly won't be the one arguing with a kid troll all night. You can either engage in a discussion sensibly or spend all night doing a "mia khalifa" research. PS: it's past your bedtime.
