LOL!
Kim K's booty just reminds me of any of my Armenian girlfriends' bodies, as well as my Greek friends.
Why does Kim K's booty make folks so upset?!

it doesn't make people upset, it just looks unusually suspect.

Not really. I've seen an awful lot of nonBlack women with curvy bodies. She's just in the limelight.

LOL. If some people are upset, it could be because Kim K. is just the newest nonBlack woman who is praised for things that many Black women have had for generations. While Kim K. is getting props from both Black men and the mainstream media for her butt, Black women received little praise for their bodies and even received more mockery, inequality, and cruelty for their bodies.
Also....
Some Black men: Damn, Kim K fine as hell. To hell with sistahs. Imma get me an Armenian chick with a big ass. They pretty as hell, with good hair, and not all of that other shit that sistahs have.
Black woman #1: Nooooooo, who am I going to marry now?!?!?! Don't leave, Black men!!!
Black woman #2: Fuck him and his homies. There are plenty of good Black men out there who aren't chasing nonBlack butts.

Those reasons are but I was talking more of her makeup wasn't done particularly well, she looked nothing like the man she was supposedly portraying, and her outfit was tacky. Those are all non-racial reasons why the photos were a fail to me and I noticed them way more than the color of her face paint.

You consider those nonracial. I do not. I still say they are racial when you get beyond the surface level. Her horribly done face paint and them pretending that she was portraying Fela Kuti are no coincidence in this context. She is paying homage to Africa in horribly done face paint (the color of the face paint isn't so easily separated from how the face paint looks on her) and pretending to portray a man who she looks nothing like. Yeah, I'm pretty sure none of that would've happened if this wasn't about Black/African Diasporic people.
*******
I just wanted to post this article about Fela Kuti's music.
