Kim Kardashian intentionally made her skin black, “caught criticism” because of suspicion of racial discrimination

Kim Kardashian once again caused a stir because she intentionally darkened her skin in a new image.

On social networks, Kim Kardashian has just shared advertising images for her latest makeup cosmetics. Although Kim looks extremely beautiful and perfect, her dark skin in the photo caused a lot of controversy on Twitter.

Kim Kardashian appears with darker skin than usual

Kim Kardashian is 100% white, her father is Armenian, her mother is of Irish origin. Therefore, the fact that she intentionally darkened her skin made many netizens believe that Kim was imitating the “black face” trend of satirizing black people in the past.

In the 19th century, “black face” was a racist act common in the entertainment industry. In plays and movies, non-black performers often paint their faces black and play lower-class working-class people, such as slaves, gardeners, and nannies. By the 1960s, this trend ended after the civil rights movement of African Americans.

Netizens criticized Kim:

Has she become black?

Black women are asked to whiten their skin, while Kim has spent her entire career doing blackface discrimination and is praised for being beautiful.

I love Kim, but that’s clearly black face in the form of makeup, she’s never had skin that dark

Someone pointed out that Kim’s skin is actually like the picture on the left, maybe she intentionally photoshopped or used makeup to make her skin darker.

Although she is white, Kim Kardashian always dyes her skin dark to match the trend

In 2015, Kim’s sister Kylie Jenner caused a stir because a series of photos showed her skin being too dark. Kylie was also criticized for doing “black face” to discriminate against black people
