Anger erupts after magazine uses white girl to model Afro hair

A fashion magazine has come under fire for using a white skinned girl to model an Afro.

 The August issue of Allure uses Marissa Neitling from TNT’s The Last Ship in the article called “You (Yes, You) Can Have An Afro.”

 Readers reacted with anger on social media to the article saying that the article was a 'missed opportunity' to represent the black community.

Back in the day I had a big blonde Afro. I'd rolled my hair up in perm rollers, lol.

I know!

It took me ages to roll up my hair on perm rollers!

That was in prehistoric times when computers were unheard of

It's nothing more than a tempest in a teacup.  I wonder what the racial demographics of Allure magazine are.......I mean, Soldier of Fortune isn't going to use a Vietnamese dude in black pajamas and a conical hat as a cover guy......they cater to big white guys with big guns and small p*****es......
