"This industry that loves stereotyping us, how many times have I been told that my hair was an issue and set to control it, how many times have I had to share campaigns or editorials when I saw my counterparts have their achievements by themselves," said Smalls"It was a constant battle no one saw but one that I lived on a daily basis."
"You have continually let us down with your insensitivity and tone-deafness and damage control apologies of 'we will do better.' You fall short trying to narrate our stories by toning us down or having us be curated by people who have not lived or walked a day in our shoes," she said in the video post."Well, now it's time to give us a real seat at the table because we are worthy, because we are talented, because we are unique and I stand by my words.
Smalls said that while she doesn't"need validation from an industry that casts me as the token black girl while ignoring my whole cultural identity," she does need the fashion industry to recognize"the systematic issues, the issues that arise from top to bottom," from continuing to work with photographers who refuse to shoot black models because"there's no need to shoot a black girl" to casting directors unwilling to give opportunities to black models.
"You feed the beast, the beast of racism and inequality," said Smalls, who also acknowledged those in the industry"that did see me for me and gave me a chance."
Anyone who “calls out” others for “not supporting” a cause they believe deserves support– only display their infantile self-absorption for the world to see. If I wanna support a cause, I will. Or not. It’s nobody’s damn business whatever I decide. You do you.
But she's fine with the fact that female models earn millions more than her male counterparts...
and the beat goes on on on on on
Marital racism is the evilest of all the racisms out there. If you don't address that, you ARE a racist. There is NO excuse for same-race marriages in today's world. There is no excuse which race does it either. Racism is racism no matter who does it. BAN same race marriages NOW!
Stop all this Bullshit about BLM, stop complaining and do something positive. BLM is not the right thing. All lives matter not only blacks! Please Stop!😡
People are going to be afraid of hiring black people. Many of us are too much trouble.
