I think the goal is to acknowledge the artist's ability to transform someone so drastically. It also serves as a way to prove that we're all one in the same as far as humanity goes. Pass the pics around, and some may not even realize that she is white. Granted, they do not already know who she is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031729317906237729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-88441225013593299522010-06-05T10:57:10.678-07:002010-06-05T10:57:10.678-07:00I don't think the argument that Blacks have be...I don't think the argument that Blacks have been trying to look more like Whites for decades is fair when you consider that one group is dominant over another.
