Token Black Model???

"There's an un-written rule in the fashion industry, that, there can only be ten supermodels and only one can be black."
-Tyra Banks 

This was one statement coined by the super queen herself, Ms. Tyra. But is this really true or just a myth? Hmmm.... lets take a look


 BEVERLY JOHNSON (EARLY-MID 70'S ERA)
IMAN (LATE 70/80'S ERA)

NAOMI CAMPBELL (SUPERMODEL ERA) arguably greatest black supermodel ever

                                  
LIYA KEBEDE (EARLY-MID 2000'S ERA)


 


 JOAN SMALL or JOURDAN DUNN??????? (2010'S ERA) 

Some People would say Joan Smalls seems to be the leading color lady, and some argue that she is just another season hot chick and Jourdan will have the longevity. Honestly I think it's no doubt that Joan Small's career is on hot ass FIRE, but I hate to compare two girls based on skin tone. Overall I think Tyra's quote is pretty believable and also pretty fucking sad.
What do you guys think?

    I think that JOAN is the supermodel of now ! Look how she's becoming huge in the industry I mean Givenchy then Gucci, Stella Mc Cartney, and recently Lacoste and Chanel what else ? Ms Dunn missed her opportunity
    & Thinking about it, Tyra is right and it's sad
