Call me angry, a hater, or better yet frustrated at the fact the we as Black People have to break down yet another barrier. We couldn't get the respect and acknowledgment that we deserved from sports ( particularly tennis and golf, probably hockey next) music, and once again we have to do the same for the Fashion Industry. Is it NOT a coincident that the top most creditable designers are anything but BLACK! And I honestly thought that I could be the one to break down those walls until I learned about the abundance of black designers already in the game but doesn't get the recognition entitled to them. Think about it what black person ever won Project Runway and lets be real Kotor should have won and not because she was black but because she was GOOD! I honestly get soooo frustrated in this industry when once again as the black minority you have to go over and beyond just to be put in the same light as the rest of the designers. You have to do something a little more special and spectacular just to be considered as somewhat good, so heaven forbid that caucasianal suspect is an over achiever.......you have much work to do! Or these could be my own demons. Just saying! But despite it all keep it sweet sugas!
