Eva is the Baddest B*#$h!!! She deserved to win, not that YaYa didn’t, she was great too. Don’t disregard YaYa, she is also a working model. There are not enough models of color and Eva reps us well. I’m sure she had a very good reason for hiring new management, Tyra fired Benny Medina, too. Good luck Eva and keep repping for the models of color.

Well lets think about that shall we? If a designer said to a white girl you look like a monkey fair enough thats what designers doBUT it IS racist when they say that to a black model why? BECAUSE THAT IS A DEROGATORY COMMENT ABOUT THEIR ANCESTORY. Maybe if you went back to school or got out in the world you’d see that black footballers used to get banas thrown at them - because they’re black and everyone knos the old sterotype is that black people look like monkeys. Yes i do agree that designers are brutaly honest but that is no reason to mock someone because of their skin colour. You can say whatever about skin type (for example spots etc) but why skin COLOUR for goodnees sake no-one is anyless human because they arent white. And one more point which you made about miss Katherine Hamnett she isnt racist at all she’s just stating her opinion. If she prefers black girls to white girls thats fine but im sure their are high fashion designers who prefer Caucasians to black girls. Maybe its time you got in touch with whats racism and whats just ONE or a few persons OPINION you know the difference between FACT AND OPINION

I really don’t think a designer should hire anyone they don’t like. It’s their choice. Lots of times designers are brutally honest with models. They tell them if they think they are fat among other things. If the designer thought that girl looked like a monkey then so what? Designers can be brutally honest with a white girl but not a black girl? That is racist. And I think what Katharine Hamnett said is racist. She said, �I have no idea why, when it�s obvious that black girls are just so genuinely much more beautiful than Caucasians, who have clearly got the short straw. Black girls have much better body shapes and it�s such a shame…� How is it any different than someone saying “it’s obvious that white girls are just so genuinely much more beautiful than black girls? It’s not any different.

Eva rocks! Y’all can say what you want about Eva, nothing can change my opinion of her. I agree, she should be on all the entertainment shows! If she was, maybe I would actually watch those shows. X3

I have to disagree with the person who says that black americans and caribbeans are not unique enough. Naomi Campbell is Jamaican, Tyson Beckford is half african-american and jamaican/chinese, Tyra Banks is african-american, Chanel-Iman is african-american/korean, Shakara Ledard is bahamian….Whats my point….my point is that all of the models listed are considered grand slam, unique and very beautiful. I’m Caribbean but when people see me they are very intrigued by my features. So much so that people mistake me from being from other parts of the world. As for educated I grew up in the British West Indies and I speak fluent English, Spanish and French and so do many others from my region. I have a BA and an MA University Degrees, but I have chosen to model. So you need to do more research and not rely on stereotypes. I think as black people we tend to further the stereotypes by bashing each other. If we want people of other ethnic groups to treat us with respect, then we need to treat each other with respect first. Being Black and Beautiful is not only limited to Africa.

I totaly disgree with you there akua kyerematen. As a blac girls myself i dont think its just the black girls that have an attitude problem. Its silly to say just because of past events that all black girls immediatly get diffensive over comments baout their walks etc. MANY models are like that not just the black ones and its sounds a bit stereotypical to say that
