did ya'll know i was black?

i didn't.

but apparently this girl knows wHat's wHat (wut wut).

[below is a comment i received in response to this post on my 'other' blog - funny that this blog used to be my 'other' blog.]

I read this article to its very end, and all along I couldn't help thinking that you , as well as most african americans should once for all accept the fact that if you want a world of your own , you should go for it and create it . Asking other races to feel bad not having you on the covers of Vogue or any other fashion magazines , or runaways is ridiculous , period .
You guys can simply create your own Vogue , your own fashion houses(thanks good , people like Tracy Reese didn't wait for you...), like others have done...(their are Japanese and brazilians,Korean,Taiwan etc... versions of Vogue ) .
But of course it's maybe easier to sit there and complain all day long about how all the mean , racist others people are leaving you out off everything .
Now , when Vogue does, put a black man(Lebron James that is) with Gisele on the cover , that wasn't good either , as dumb readers found that the image was depicting the black men as an overly sexual ape ...
So , you see , no matter what , it's never good .
Stop cultivating the victim attitude , and you would then start growing strong and won't need to be on the cover of a white magazine , to feel that you worth as much as any other race in this planet .This will be good for your community...and definitely for all of us .
