Menaye Donkor Slapped With Discrimination, Magazine Says She Can’t Be On Cover, Too Perfect To Be An African…

On the face of it, one may consider it as a huge admiration if he/she is told to be too perfect to be an African. However, if you give it a deep smart thinking, what does this statement suggest?
It even gets worse if it is followed by a positive action to take away an opportunity or privilege from you.
Some of us may think that as people, we have come a long way shaped by education, laws, religion, morals and above all our love for each other as humans to the extent that discrimination/unfair comments such as this has become a practice of the past.
I do not simply detest suggestive discriminatory comments because of its illegality, but any action or omission by another founded on sex, race, religion, colour, ethnicity, sexual orientation which undermines the dignity, respect and the whole existence of another is a defeat to our claim as highly intelligent primates.
GhanaCelebrities.Com is told that,the Former Miss Universe, Beauty Queen, Model, Philanthropist and wife of Sulley Muntari has been recently slapped with discrimination, something she least expected…
Few weeks ago, we published that Menaye Donkor will grace the cover of Issue 13 (April/May edition) of the New African Women Magazine with her beauty. Being the cover girl has fetched her suggestive discrimatory comments from an Editor of another African’s Magazine.
We are told that, the Editor of New African Women Magazine received an E-mail from the other African Magazine’s Editor saying…
“Hello Regina …to tell u the truth …it (the cover) is not representative to black beauty African beauty, the major criticism we have is that the girl don’t look like black African girls too perfect and white, I FIND IT not very nice… putting perfect looking girls in front of covers !”
Reacting to the above comment, Menaye has expressed her shock, saying: ‘I am surprised to hear such remarks in this modern world that we live in because people are so much more educated to think more carefully and not generalize. What is Africa? How should an African look? I am a true African woman born and raised in Ghana with Ghanaian parents and Ghanaian heritage.
I therefore cannot understand why the colour of my skin would make me less of a good role model for other African women. It doesn’t matter how dark or light my skin is, I’m proud of my culture and I am proud to be representing Africa.
Are we forgetting there are 47 countries in Africa and not all people are dark skinned as it varies across the continent with some populations naturally darker than others? The focus here should not be the colour of one’s skin or how they look but rather how as Africans we can unite to build a stronger future.’
You know what; you can’t stop Menaye so better join the train…LOL.  The New African Women Magazine with her on the cover comes out TODAY, better grab a copy!
