on a (kaiser) roll ...



i don't think vogue is being racist, but if you wanna read a bunch of dumb comments from oversensitive white folks, click that image!

i read 90% of the comments and what no one even MENTIONS or CONTEMPLATES is; maybe the original photoshopper of those 2 images just thought they looked similar and that it was a funny coincidence ...

i mean ...
really ...
vogue's photographers did not spend the day pouring over WWI propoganda to figure out how they could drop a subliminaly racist image onto the cover ... plus that original image is a representation of GERMANY not BLACK FOLK ... also gonna go out on a limb here and guess that WWI propaganda posters aren't as ingrained in the american collective consciousness like they were, say, in 1918 ...

seriously people, take the tinfoil helmet off now.
