Kim Kardashian Blackface Apology

Kim Kardashian shared a heartfelt apology in the form of blaming her staff for publishing a super dark skin tone photo of her profile in promotion of her new KKW beauty line. A bunch of idiots labeled the shopped contrast photo as blackface, while even dumber people wasted money on Kim’s cosmetics then complained about the crazy cost of living.

“I would obviously never want to offend anyone. I used an amazing photographer and a team of people. I was really tan when we shot the images, and it might be that the contrast was off. But I showed the image to many people, to many in the business. No one brought that to our attention. No one mentioned it.

You’re only as good as your weakest entourage. Kim considered but did not deliver an apology for her family’s exploitation of black men for media visuals and sexual provocation. Or for simply being a cynical money grubbing huckster. There’s only such much time for apologies.

If there’s a lesson to be learned here, it’s all to be explained in the Kardashian Family Kwanzaa Special. Bring together all the people of color you’ve destroyed and explain to them the difference between blackface and merely trying to appear black. Eat bean pies and give everybody cab fare back to the place where the black people live. Ten thousand likes for being special souls can’t be far behind. Blame modernity for lack of culling.
