Is The Kamala Harris and Vogue Controversy Bullshit?
Over the weekend, Black Twitter went into a bit of a rage over the Kamala Harris cover on Vogue. Many didn’t feel it told the story or captured the importance of the moment. Others thought the pic was just plain bad.
The fact that a Black photographer shot these images only complicated the matter. We write about whether or not Black people are overexaggerating the situation or if we actually have reasons to be upset. Here’s an excerpt:
“Part of it just the nature of social media. People can get into a huff about whatever they want and when you pair two industries as powerful and fashion and politics together, there’s bound to be some strong opinions.
The other part is that Black people are not compromising on how we are represented. If it’s not up to our expectations and doesn’t accurately reflect our true superpowers, we’ll have something to say. And not only that, we want you to do something about it.”
