Can you imagine ho much worse it would have been for Vanessa Williams if that scandal at hit today? Yet she did not take those photos for mass distribution.
To All: To be clear, I am not passing judgement on the photos or Keisha. My whole argument is let them be distributed by her in the way she intends. That's all.

You hit the nail straight on the head. When I stated that there was a difference with Ruby Dee's generation and this one, I was specifically speaking in regards to technology. You are right on point. The VW scandal would have been off the HOOK had it been today and not the 80's. Absolutely awful!!!
Point well taken regarding the distribution of these photos .
