Twitter was divided on Wednesday night when Cape Town artist Imraan Christian painted model Ponahalo Mojapelo as a dark-skinned woman even though she is light in complexion. This was for the fifth edition of the series titled, “Crowns”. IOL_Lifestyle
According to most tweeps, the issue is not the art portrayed but rather that Christian took a model who is light-skinned and painted her dark-skinned instead of using models who are naturally dark in complexion.But can a black person even practice the racially offensive "black face"? I mean they are already black 🤔This is actually sick. Hire dark skinned models. Don’t paint people dark.
Actress and TV presenter Pearl Thusi suffered the same fate when she posted a picture of herself in a bikini with the caption, where she quoted Beyonce’s song. She wrote: “Brown skin girl... skin just like pearl’s…".
