When news broke about Essence Magazine hiring a white fashion editor back in 2010, many loyal readers of the magazine–whose tagline is “Where Black Women Come First”– were shocked. Even those in the fashion community were puzzled by the magazine’s decision to grant one of the most coveted positions in the fashion world to a woman who was not a reflection of the demographic to which she was serving. Black women struggle to find opportunities in media, and many white magazines refuse to hire African Americans. So, the odd decision by Essence to hire a white female over qualified African American women angered millions across the country.
But now, Ellianna Placas, the white fashion editor who filled that coveted and influential role for two years has been fired, according to the New York Post. She served as fashion director at Essence for two years. We are not sure why she was fired, but the move is sure to draw the attention of loyal readers of the magazine, many of them African American women seeking media outlets that are reflective of their interests.

So I guess “Diversity” isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Especially if blacks can’t stand the idea of allowing it. So why should anyone else? If blacks want all their own stuff to be exclusively black, why do they whine so much when white people want something to be exclusively white? Why? Because most blacks in America are racists! Hating someone for just being white, is racism.

Go ‘grob’ your b***s with that cracker garbage!
Take your sickle cell a*s somewhere else with that bullshyt! You crackers are really pschologically fvcked up! That’s why y’all hate Black people; you take all those pills, drink liquor, shoot heroin, take x, kill people, take/make meth, and destroy the world because you people are SICK & CRAZY! That’s a h**l of a combination.
The word ‘diversity’ is a code word for ‘white genetic survival’. As long as negroid males have babies by caucasoid fe-males; you people will continue your genetic weak gene, through ‘diversiving’ with the Black gene.
diversify = vary, alter, CHANGE – BECOME DIFFERENT in some particular way, without permanently losing one’s or its former characteristics or ESSENCE;
ESSENCE = a being; esp., a purely spiritual being: BLACKNESS
In other words diversity means a Black person, who is being genetically used for someone else’s survival. You are becoming ‘different’ through breeding with someone, that is not True with nature. YOU ARE USING YOUR ‘SPIRITUAL BEING’ aka BLACKNESS for their economic survival!!! In other words MODERNIZED slavery!
I AIN’T DIVERSING WITH NONE YOU demon/devils!!!

I’m surprise black women still support this white own rag of a magazine. I bet she’ll claim racial discrimination and turn around and sue them. They should have never hired her. The only reason she was hired is because Essence like a lot of so called black media is white owned. The bill of goods called “racial diversity” that white liberals sold us was about taking over black own businesses or shutting them down. They (whites) are now the voice of black Americans by controlling our media. Whites are now the ones we mainly depend on for jobs instead of doing for ourselves.

Good commentary!
Sometimes I wonder why our people, LOVE to patronize other culture’s businesses, but HATE to patronize our own?
Soon as you turn a page in a ‘Black’ magazine, the FIRST person you see is a caucasoid!!!
INTEGRATION AND RELIGON MESSED UP NEGROIDS MINDS!

She was not fired because she was a caucasoid. She was fired because caucasoids CAN NOT RELATE TO BLACK PEOPLE…plain & simple.
She didn’t deserve the job anyway! Honkeys don’t hire us, so fvck her! Take her pale a*s to a cracker magazine.
IT’S ABOUT TIME WE STARTED DOING THEM, LIKE THEY DO US!
FIRST FIRED, LAST HIRED!
OVERstand Me?
