Kim Kardashian is coming under fire for allegedly wearing blackface in a magazine shoot for 7Hollywood magazine.

Twitter is understandably mad that Kim frequently does this and gets away with it each time.

Alright, guys, the amount of crap going on in the world these past 24 hours is starting to astonish me. First, Camila Cabello was exposed by a Twitter user for having extremely racist and xenophobic content on her old Tumblr page. Then, people dragged J. K. Rowling, author of THE Harry Potter series, for sympathizing with a transphobe. And now, Kim Kardashian sparked outrage because she’s out here posing in what some say looks like blackface...again. (*sigh*) What the heck is going on?!?

Today, Kim shared a holiday-glam photo shoot she did with 7Hollywood. If you hadn’t heard of it before, don’t worry—I didn’t either until this mess! 7Hollywood, according to its Instagram page, “is an L.A.-based biannual fashion, celebrity, and art magazine distributed worldwide.” The shoot it did with Kim was supposed to be Elizabeth Taylor–themed, but people who saw it felt, well, differently.

Take a look at the shoot and try to tell me Kim isn’t channeling a black woman in these photos:

As you can see, Kimmy’s skin tone is looking much darker in this photo shoot than she actually is. Maybe it’s a bad case of spray tan or a bad case of Photoshop? Whatever TF it is, they can keep it! For the record, this is what Kim’s skin tone looked like when she dressed up as Elle Woods for Halloween:

The difference is astonishing. And for the most part, Twitter agrees and is upset by the blatant darkening of Kim’s skin:

The thing with Kim Kardashian and her family’s tireless history of cultural appropriation and Blackfishing is that she knows better. They know better. But they continue to do this because they know outrage sells. They’re able to keep their name relevant by doing things like THIS. https://t.co/rIE1fuYUXH — Wanna (@WannasWorld) December 19, 2019

This is modern black face! This is retro black face! This is black face black face! Kim Kardashian wants to be black so bad, and her coon ass husband Kanye West wants to be orange. What a time to be alive! https://t.co/XGPslvpsBg — Ororo Munroe’s Burner Account (@Marrita_CEO) December 19, 2019

How come nobody is talking about @KimKardashian’s black face 🥴 being married to a black man and having mixed babies doesn’t make you a black woman. Putting yourself in the front line of prison reform doesn’t give you a pass either. Thanks for coming to my pep talk — Jolie K. (@vientimz) December 19, 2019

Something is deeply wrong with Kim Kardashian. Her obsession with Blackness is actually unhinged. — No Quarter Will Be Given (@chaedria) December 19, 2019

Of course, this is just one of many blackface accusations Kim has come under fire for. There was the backlash from Kim’s KKW beauty ads, that one time Kim posted a much darker illustration of herself on Twitter, and the tangentially related time she came under fire for putting fulani braids in her hair. We were past due for another infraction....

In conclusion: I am disappointed but not surprised.
