Kim K's butt

I think it was more about someone with a notoriously large butt who got famous for being a rich attention *kitten* and needs to feed her addiction combined with a relatively unknown company that was happy to accommodate her for their own publicity.

Still not sure what all the fuss is about though. She already has a full xxx rated video out there. It ain't like Taylor Swift decided to drop trousers or anything. This is old territory being repackaged.

OP, I can see and agree with the thought process of sexual exploitation because, frankly, that is how she makes her money.

I am having trouble seeing the argument about it revolving around race though. That logic is a bit fuzzy to me. Care to expand?

I think the Kardashians need to be thrown in an active volcano. They drive me crazy. Seriously their dad was a crazy awesome lawyer, but that's the only talent anyone in the family had. Unless talent is being able to be dramatic about ANYTHING then they have it coming out the wazoo.

I also agree, I don't think it has anything to do with race or sexual exploitation. I mean Kim sexually exploits herself daily, so this isn't anything new. She's just wanting attention. I'm glad she isn't my mom. I think if I was North and grew up and found out what my mom did to get famous and kept doing to keep in the public eye, I'd be embarassed.

Wait. . race?. . why would a picture of Kim K be about race!? . . *confused by this question. .

Nope!! Just Kim doing something outrageous to be in the spotlight again.

Personally, I wish most of that family would just retire to a remote island and we would never hear from them again. They can take Kanye with them too!!

Agree with other posters. Why would this about race?

It is all about attention.

This is how they are saying it was a race-related issue:

Wow, that's a huge stretch to try and play the race card. Not buying it.

I don't think everything is racist nowadays just the stories that we see sensationalized in the media. It has a lot to do with the fact that people think because we are in 2014 that racism doesn't exist but it definitely does. I honestly can't blame a group of people with such a racially charged history filled with violence and degradation to not see images like Kim K's photo spread and have it remind them of their ancestry.

"Centuries ago, a Black women named Sarah “Saartijie” Baartman (her last name boasted many variations), spent majority of her life being mocked and subjected to forms of sexual abuse due to her enlarged buttocks. She was known as the Hottentot Venus from Namibia and was forced to parade around as the freak of nature she was deemed to be. Not so funny now – is it? Kim Kardashian’s attempt at something artfully radical is actually a pathetic representation of a time when being a Black woman with an obviously generous derriere was used as a tool to once again downgrade her worth as a human being."

Thanks. I know racism still exists, but I don't know much about a lot of history so sometimes I need more information to grasp how something could be perceived as racist.

What I think the OP is trying to refer to is Blacksploitation where caricatures of blacks are used as marketing ploys to further an agenda. This is not about racism, thus no race card. This however is about how women, blacks and certain people in general (or the perceived characteristics therof) are used to sell or market one thing or another. Of course, Kim will do anything to sell herself so she is not really pertinent to OP's complaint.

Hmmm, were his views really well known and was he really well known? Honestly, I don't know so I will have to take you word for it. I thought the whole reason he chose Kim K was because he knew it would propel his name so to speak. All, I'm saying is I see the images and no I don't see anything inherently racist. I'm just pointing out how others might. That's all.

Kim K's butt is what most Armenian women's butts look like. Google it.

Here we go generalizing. I'm sure no one has seen most Armenian women in the world, so how would they really know? It's like saying all black women have big butts and I know that myth isn't true.

All I see is a series of very photoshoped images that are supposed to represent a woman's figure
