Is this just another manifestation of the Forty Million Dollar Slaves mentality where instead of strong black men being taken advantage of for their strength or speed, it is the black woman being propagandized for her beauty? Peace Thanks for the feedback asabagna,

The fashion industry, like the sports industry, has a lot of impact in the Black community, both positive and negative. Or are we "programmed" to think and feel that they are? hmmmmm?
