why doesnt she move to another market?

yea the business of dark skinned black models is booming in other areas

i didnt say it was booming but they did preface the entire article by stating:

He added: ?The Australian market doesn?t want to take the risk of using darker models as mainstream models. But if you go to New York, you?ll see African American, Asian, and all these diverse cultures. Australia just doesn?t get it.?
ahh.

but did u skim over this part

QuoteThe model has previously been outspoken about racism she had encountered both in Australia and overseas.

She's well aware this isn't just an "Australia" issue. Maybe it's more pronounced there but this is an issue that even Naomi and Tyra have spoken on.

yea but again,
she is gorgeous why not just move to another market.

U aren't doing anything but allowing the system to perpetuate itself by quitting.

its not all about slavery :dead:

there are gorls walking around looking like they're straight out of west africa, fresh from the boat
with a history of slave rape blood in their history.
unless white blood is close, like a grandparent or at least one great great grandparent...the influence on our mess is usually not that noticeable.

really look into the different looks/countries in Africa.
they don't all look alike.

no im not talking about a light skin, green eyes mess. Even if the white , indian or other "blood" is far behind us. Blacks do not look like the girls that come from Congo, Sudan, Nigeria ect... even though those are our ancestors.

Look at Alek wec , Olushi, Ajak Deng... ( African representations of beauty )



and look at the American black representation of beauty.  EVEN if the girl is a darker complexion the look is totally different.

Jessica White , Beverly peele , Madisin Rian

Even you Afro, would never give an african mess out.  Black indian down


AIDS!

the examples you listed apart from Oluchi, are from east Africa, their features are very different to west Africans and central Africans...where most of you guys come from
Jessica White and Beverley Peele for example, without the European wigs and nose jobs, def look West African
Oluchi who is Nigerian, could def pass for an African American IMO
You could place  Madisin Rain in Cameroon or Sierra Leone and she would look the part  :dead:
