Naomi’s hypocrisy: from Black pride to White surrogates

Naomi Campbell, the legendary supermodel, spent decades as a self-proclaimed champion of Black beauty and African pride. She often repeats the dubious claim that she’s Nelson Mandela’s “granddaughter.”  Yet, Naomi appears to have betrayed her cultural activism by using White surrogates to produce her kids.

Suspicions swirl that Naomi not only chose a surrogate but also opted for lily-white genetics —eggs and sperm. The result? Children who are, biologically, as White as a Swiss snowstorm.

Hiding babies faces to hide racial truth

Remember how Michael Jackson went to absurd lengths to hide his children’s faces — or more specifically, their White race — until the day he died? Naomi is pulling the same stunt, flaunting them on Instagram but covering their faces with strategically placed emojis to obscure even a hint of their skin tone. It smacks of the naivety of a teenage girl who thinks hiding her belly will fool her parents into believing she’s not pregnant.

But her hypocrisy’s the thing, not her kids’ skin color. After all, Naomi built a career on elevating Black beauty — from her modeling days to her Mandela photo-ops. So this reeks of a PR disaster waiting to happen. And let’s not forget, Naomi is no stranger to controversy. But this? This is a next level.

Instead of Black MJ, Why not emulate White Madonna?

With her supposed ties to Africa, Naomi would’ve had no difficulty emulating White celebrities like Madonna, who went on pilgrimages to Africa to adopt Black babies. Never mind that most seemed to be adopting them like the latest fashion accessory for awards season.

Yet, despite her pan-African crusading, Naomi “designed” her babies to ensure they bear no trace of African lineage. Now she’s visibly bleaching her skin — no doubt hoping it lends more credibility to fatuous claims that her surrogate kids resemble her more than claims that MJ’s White surrogate kids resembled him.

Naomi, can hide her kids’ faces, but the truth will out.

Meanwhile, Mandela must be rolling over in his grave, watching his “granddaughter” raise children who look like she ordered them from a Ralph Lauren catalog. But MJ would be proud.
