I'm so very sorry about all of this. On behalf of white people everywhere, can I offer up some of our dances to appropriate, do badly, and take credit for? I think we have... the waltz? The polka? River dancing? TAKE THEM THEY'RE YOURS! Read more
A fashion shoot on a plantation is the same thing as doing a fashion shoot at a concentration camp.
My kids are 3/4 white and they finally asked me why I always give a head nod to other black people on the street even if I don't know them. It will take them years to really understand why. Read more
