really tyra? really?

so, one of my classmates alerted me to an episode of the tyra banks show (for those of you who didn't know, yes, she has a show. yeah, i know.)
anyway, apparently she is celebrating an important milestone in black american history. and just what is this milestone? the first black supreme court justice? desegregation of public schools? the freedom riders? the march on washington? umm,well......just watch:




sigh...i'm sorry, i just got a little choked up....i think i need a tissue (sniff) oh thank you, THANK YOU tyra for paving the way for black women becoming the object of desire and lust for men everywhere! keep hope alive, sista!

The first African-American on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue - built like a Norwegian woman and lit to look as light-skinned as possible. I'm right with you - it's a great achievement.
