Did Kim Kardashian‘s makeup artist take things too far?
Find out why many, including the actress/activist Amanda Seales, feel her new magazine cover has pulled her into the dangerous realm of blackface.
Mrs. Kardashian-West appeared on the cover of ‘Hollywood’ magazine and soon found the cover’s release flung into a race row because many believed it showcased the star’s supposed desire to emulate black women.
Amanda wasn’t alone and suspect the star’s move was intentional.
Kim Kardashian often appropriates Black female culture to get attention. It says a lot that she continuously pulls these antics to get attention, knowing she’ll upset Black women–the same Black women that have supported her businesses. She’s a culture vulture in blackface. https://t.co/K2CLWqaipg

I didn’t recognize Kim Kardashian, and I guess that was the point. Negative or positive press is still press. But truly, this is really gross that she’s normalizing blackface for young kids to follow suit. Kim pretends to be a role model and then she reminds us that she isn’t. https://t.co/TEWetk8j4t

Kim Kardashian appropriating black culture and doing “blackface” in a “classy” way while her and her husband support a president who actively harms minority communities.
The ultimate rich white lady move. https://t.co/PzvLYtvkB3

Kim, Khloe and Kylie want to be black so bad. This ain’t new. Blackface in its most blatant form. This girl is a vulture!
Black people with white people’s hair want to be white? Or nah? If no than what are you talking about?!??
People tan that’s ok if they want to kust like it’s ok to put white people’s hair on your head.
Grow up!!!!! We live in a global world!!!!!
it’s not white people hair, but learn the difference between assimilation and appropriation sweetheart. you sound slow
What is white hair?? You moron straight hair is found in every race that’s a fact. Somalians and Ethiopians have straight hair, Indians have straight hair should I name more? And like the other commenter said learn the difference between appropriation and assimilation. Uneducated twit.
@Tyty
He worded it poorly but he’s not wrong.
I would get the outrage if she really looked unnaturally dark in that shoot but she doesn’t
She is and looks like a caucasian woman of middle eastern descent. Not all caucasians are pale and have blonde straight hair. Just like the black race has tons of variety in its appearance caucasians have that as well.
Meanwhile most black women running around with everyone else’s hair on their heads , skin bleach and lightning filters all on their profile hahahahaha They need to stop hating on light skin women it’s getting old . Kim is Armenian she’s can get tan naturally they can’t be bleach naturally.
Chile I thought it was beyonce. It’s no secret that Kanye and Kim want to be jay and bey so bad.
Chile ? And did y’all notice the REAL black arms on the left side of the magazine cover? Kim tried it, I’m sorry ? And I’m tired of the Kardashians acting clueless about it too…yes, we know y’all love black people so much that even Rob found him a Blac Chyna lol…mama Kris get that black D every night lol…the only one who is resisting is Kourtney, but she’s next ?
Shutthefuckup
She is not white first of all and second people can tan their skin!!!
Anddddd why stop on the color of the skin???? Lets keep it going and talk about all the wigs which are clearly not black people’s hair!!!!
Kim Kardashian is white. Her ethnicity is part middle eastern though. Race and ethnicity are two different things.
Middle easterners are Caucasian!
Y’all reaching it’s just lighting omg…tbose are the black people that want to woke so bad and get everybody canceled yet they are doing nothing for black communities smh
Listen, Kim and Kanye only work with the best in the business! The photographers, directors, creative consultants! Getting access to archived clothing..if you don’t think there’s symbolism in that picture…she’s on white sheets, black dress, a black model is pulling at the white sheets…everything is black and white lol, and that’s EXACTLY why the internet is having this discussion ? You think all these talented people wake up just to do ANYTHING? No, they create images with meaning..that’s why Michael Jackson put that disclaimer at the beginning of Thriller..HE KNEW the power of images…sold 66 million albums too, marinate on THAT chile lol ? ?
Uhm…maybe the black hands are a reference to her BLACK husband? ?♂️
@Cebolla. ok that’s interesting, at least you’re thinking!
Don’t get me wrong. I dislike that family with a passion and many times they are black fishing indeed but I just don’t see it in this particular shoot. She looks arab to me if anything.
People seriously need to shut the f*** up! If anything she LOVES looking like this otherwise she wouldn’t do it. Why is it ok for Beyonce to bleach the s*** out of her skin to look white, but when Kim gets a tan/makeup for a photoshoot it’s suddenly promoting blackface? Really people? get over yourself I bet that thought didn’t even cross her mind. Also in this time people love to have a tan or darker skin, why is it a bad thing? Stop living in the past and create positivity regarding something bad in the past. Change!
Beyoncé looks nothing like a white woman. Some of y’all are so delusional it’s disturbing who looks at Beyoncé and thinks white woman? You can’t be blind and stupid pick a struggle.
In some shoots she does kook very light. I’ve had to look twice at a few pictures to check it was actually Beyoncé, as she did almost pass for white. But that could all just be lighting make-up etc. But then the same could be the same for this picture. Except, I do have to admit it’s pretty bad… I thought it was Diana Ross! So yeah, it’s bad.
Exactly Beyonce is racist for saying Becky WITH THE GOOD HAIR that’s why she lost most white fans . Being a hater cause gwenth Paltrow smashed Jayz
SHe is insulting her own community & herself by wearing blonde wigs like Becky’s real hair .
They are Hypocrites they do that same to latinas then they buy hoops , skin bleach & curly lace fronts lol
I personally didn’t give a F who did what but since they wanna make a big deal them let’s all tell the truth .
she’s following in her husband’s trolling footsteps. he’s made her cover up now, so what other way to get headlines than stir up the race pot
Nothing new here, they had their ass, curves , lips and everything but their nostrils modeled after blacks.
And Tan is nothing new, and she shouldnt be shamed forr looking their skin.
Just like weaves, surger and skin bleach is no longer seen as tabyoo
She was trying to look like Jackie Kennedy. Learn your history. Everyone knows Jackie had coarse hair and subtle black features, that’s why they say John was down for the people and would lead to his demise
because of his stance on black rights.
Lol the irony
How come Mary J Blige, Yonce, Nicki Minaj wearing blonde wig?
That’s white people’s hair
I’m just saying
It goes both ways
Kim kardashan can do whatever the fack she wants
No one is telling black girls to look white by wearing blonde straight wig or contact lens
See my point point?
Black women originate every genetic variation of people on this planet so your point has no basis
There is a black ethnic group with blonde hair so no, its not exclusive to white people. Sorry to correct you.
But that’s a small group of people so not really comparable to the blonde hair of white people. Sorry to correct you.
The size of the group doesn’t matter.
Blonde hair is not exclusive to white people. Get used to it.
Your delusional it’s sad, stop sniffing bleaching cream .
Not a Kardashian fan at all but this is R E A C H I N G. Not all caucasians have pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. ?♂️
Do you see the black arms on the left side of the cover? Explain that lol
Uhm what is there to explain exactly? Are you offended by black arms on a cover?
I asked you why you think they are there lol..and no, I’m not offended by my black arms lmaoooo
https://tenor.com/view/obama-wtf-why-president-wut-gif-12221156
??
Uhm maybe it’s a reference to her husband?
I don’t see the problem. Those are not her arms we are talking about, so who cares really.
You should take a close look again. ?
@Cebolla, the arms are AUTHENTICALLY black! Same shade as she is in the picture! Not by mistake! ??
So you mean to tell me her arms are the same shade as the hand on the left pulling the sheets? Really? ???
Take a closer look because they are not the same shade ?
The same family of shades, how about that? ? Damn, you’re only analyzing now because I pointed to it ? Did you see it the FIRST time you glanced at the image? Be honest…did you see the arms?
Why are you making such a big deal of those arms when we both agreed they are NOT the same shade? lol
Listen, I really do agree on the consensus that she’s a culture vulture but just saying the same way she could pass as light skinned black to you, she could pass as latino or arab to others, (which by US definition -not mine- belong to the caucasian group).
But it’s ok for Beyonce to wear white womens’ hair right?
She looks more like a latina tbh
Latina / Arab
Amen ?
seems like that the style right now even black wanna look Latina / exotic
I’ll just say this: I noticed the cover before I paid any attention to the headline, and I thought I was looking at a black actress.
EXACTLY.
This week we’ve impeached Trump and Camila Cabello, so can we go ahead and impeach Kim too?
lol ?
it’s not that serious… I don’t like Kim and have never been a fan but she did NOTHING WRONG but play around with hair and makeup maybe a tan. Ya’ll always making this a race issue when its convenient. shut up.
She didn’t COME to play around hunnie, this is Mugler private archive! *Andre Leon Talley voice* ?
She looks like Keri Hilton in these pics
Some people are too darn sensitive..
She looks like she has a tan
.i swear black people are the worst sometimes..
Some comments in here make me feel like some have this one-dimensional view of how a white person is supposed to look like and it’s very unrealistic. The spectrum of the caucasian complexion doesn’t end at paper white.
And it definitely doesn’t end no where near the color brown on a Fall day.
On sight, I honestly thought she was a black woman without even reading the title. Wow!
Amanda stays mad
Girl bye
I’m no fan of hers but people will get mad for anything….
Some of you guys clearly have never seen Armenian/middle eastern people.
In this case there is no appropriation
Let’s get serious here. The worst of it is the b***, Her doctor should be ashamed.
Well this wouldn’t be complete without mentioning her gigantic b***. She apparently thinks all Black woman have this feature. I’ve seen they don’t, then the blonde sister went out and got one. She got a rich Black husband too. Then the mom! Maybe it’s in their water? These woman really see dollar signs.
