fo real tho...
I heard a little story bout a guy who was trying out for some well known symphony in Lo-Cal.
They had this set up where the judges were on one side of a wall - while the musician was on the other. They had no idea of who was playing, besides their assigned number, and their sound.
I wass thinking about this on Monday, when I went through an interview. What if I could just throw my portfolio over a wall, and they would judge it???

Racism is in full effect. It’s everywhere.
Read some of the post on this board.
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
I don’t like fighting but I got lots of fight in me.
Thats all.

Lemme say first that races do not exist and the mere idea of "racism" is a faulted concept that presupposes racialism.
With that said, Design is racist through its products. Why are all the product shoots for FUBU with "black" people and the shoot for polo "white. Why do we choose target markets? And why do we include skin colour in those markets?

Because the consumer buys what they feel they are supposed to buy.
Marketing works because consumers want it.

damn i thought ...
nevermind ....

Isn't it the other way around...
marketing tell people what to want. Then the weak minds want it, and the stronger minds break.
