After years of systemic racism, cultural appropriation and insensitive creative decision-making, many Black people saw straight through social media posts made by the fashion industry in recent weeks.

Wintour, whose official title names her as artistic director and editor-in-chief of Vogue US and global content advisor, sent an internal email to her staff on June 5. In the memo, seen by CNN, she acknowledged and took"full responsibility" for the racism that flourished under her watch:"I know Vogue has not found enough ways to elevate and give space to Black editors, writers, photographers, designers and other creators.

"My focus has not been on fashion; my focus has been on lives being lost and the injustice Black people," Bolden said in a phone interview."But in that particular moment when I saw that go across my feed, it just sparked my rage. It just felt like a joke to me. It didn't feel authentic." "And in those moments, what else are you supposed to lean into? has everything they could possibly want. She has the press that goes along with , she has the major coverage, she's presenting, she's won a Golden Globe... she's in critically acclaimed movies. And yet they said no."But in that particular moment when I saw that go across my feed, it just sparked my rage. It just felt like a joke to me. It didn't feel authentic.

You mean that companies are Pandering to the black community and they could spot said Pandering? Nooo...How could they tell?

THERE IS NO SYSTEMIC RACISM. It’s a democratic bullshit term fed to leftist media outlets. BLACK PEOPLE ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN SVER BEFORE. THINK ABOUT THIS... CNN CANT REPORT GOOD NEWS. NO RATINGS... BAD NEWS SELLS. NEGATIVE NARRATIVES SELL. You are all being brainwashed.

No such thing as systemic racism. This is stupid.

It is disgrace that cnni not covering realDonaldTrump speech in Tulsa. Your job is to cover the news not select them. That is the antithesis of reporting. The CancelCulture now wants to erase a democratically elected President.

Just when you think CNN couldn’t be more FAKE....

fashion is such an ugly thing that need to be changed in every three months... We know what kind of bad things happening under the name of fashion in the world.. Fashion is what suits u as humanbeing..
