I'm sure you all have seen Kim Kardashian's attempt at "breaking the Internet." Last week, celebrity Kim Kardashian posed for Paper magazine in her birthday suit in a revealing photo-shoot in which she was trying to shut down the Internet with people frantically searching.
Now, Kim's latest attention-grabbing move didn't come without negative criticism. It's hard for the Karadashian sister to do anything without getting comments from people who are less than approving of her lifestyle and fame.
One criticism I'm focusing on is one that isn't being talked about much. This isn't criticism for Kim, it's criticism for the fans.
Just a few months ago 'Charmed' star, Alyssa Milano posted a photo to Instagram of her breastfeeding her newborn baby. She was wearing a t-shirt –– not even showing her nipple. There was outrage amongst the Instagram community, and the photo was removed.
OK. What? How is something that is supposed to be a natural interaction between mother and baby considered "inappropriate," but Kim can bear her bare ass, and pose full frontal, naked? It's actually ridiculous that people are so uncomfortable by a woman's natural human body, but have no problem with admiring an oiled up naked posed body.
This isn't targeted toward Kim or the photographers. I disagree with the photographer's choice, based off of other cultural reasons. I'm just saying that I find it repulsive that people continue to shame women for BREASTFEEDING. I mean, come on.

I really disagree with people saying the photos are racist. The photographer recreated a photo he took in the past. He did not photograph the first model because she was black; he photographed her because her backside was unusual. And so is Kim's. This photograph is not mocking the original model or her culture in any way. The photographer is just out of ideas, so is reusing one of his old ones. It's his image, he owns it, and it's his style.
