There is an atrocious lack of blackness in the male modeling world. Those you do see are of mixed gene pools or serve as a subject in a study of black and white. Black is hidden behind elaborate prints, twisted postures, misconstrued titles. Go to your favorite fashion blog and type in "black". I have seen editorials of white men, draped in blackness; there is a relationship between black and desire, seduction, danger, excitement, etc. There is no strength nor innovation in presentation. Presentation is rare itself. Someone explain to me how little black boys can relate to pointed noses and European jawlines, if their physical being mimics African tradition?
