CityHitz #Gist: RACIST? Russian Billionaire, Roman Abrahimovich's Partner Under Fire For Posting This ‘OFFENSIVE’ Photo
....................Follow @CityHitz_Ent for more updates
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's partner has sparked an internet firestorm after an online magazine published a photo of her sitting on a chair made to resemble a half-naked black woman - on Martin Luther King Day. A lot of people accused her of being a racist and insisted the picture was offensive. FashionBombDaily.com editor Claire Sulmers was among the first to express her disbelief, claiming the photo's message was startlingly clear: 'White dominance and superiority, articulated in a seemingly serene yet overtly degrading way.' Organizing for Women's Liberation also tweeted, 'This is incredibly racist,' after news of the unbelievable picture spread and a lot of women organisations have condemned the act. Dasha has since taken the picture down while apologising for the furore the image has caused. She said:'This photograph, which has been published completely out of context, is of an art work intended specifically as a commentary on gender and racial politics. I utterly abhor racism, and would like to apologise to anyone who has been offended by this image.'
