Wow. The race row continues. Seems as though Oluchi is running out of cash money from her previous jobs so she's pulling the race card on SA fashion mags and everyone is falling for it. It's funny how The Times seems to be trumping her "race" card when the Sowetan (a paper perceived as black-centric) is taking the road less travelled and supporting the "racist" magazines.
I throw my weight behind Sowetan (for the first time) on this matter. This girl, who won Face of Africa a million years ago, is playing the card that most people don't want to touch with a ten-foot pole. It was only a few weeks ago that the Black Journalists Forum caused an uproar, a few months before that and gung-ho Johann was capping some hapless blacks in Skieliek, and I see today that The Times is running the Waterkloof Vier (I mean Four) who last graced our pages when they convicted.
So I guess race is the new, or rather current, Maddy McCann. Sad days when people try to move forward with this sensitive of taboos. If Oluchi gets her way with this story who knows what that'll mean for the rest of the country. Let's not forget that she was late for the scheduled photoshoots, acting so primadonna by suggesting that a tight-on-deadline magazine work aroudn her forgotten ass. Soon incompetent employees will trump this card blaming their respective industries of racism when in reality it's a dog-eat-dog world and calling racism is like kicking the poor mutt in the balls without putting up a proper fight.
