Black Or Die

Nick Knight, well-known photographer, just released another one of his mini-movies. This one is about the use [or lack] of black models in the fashion industry, PERIOD. Naomi Campbell is the star, and rightfully so with all her anger issues. The mini-movie consists of Naomi holding two guns while Knight's words come up throughout on black screen. I just think that a lot of what Knight said made perfect sense.
"It is my belief that our society must be inclusive and by denying people the right to be seen as beautiful you cause deep cultural resentment, alienation and division."
Check out the video here. Then just reflect on the message. It's strong.
