"Ugly B**ch, You'll Never Be As Beautiful As White Women" | Internet Trolls Attack Africa's Next Top Model Winner

A shocking slew of offensive comments appeared online after MAC cosmetics posted a photograph showing the lips of Africa's Next Top Model winner, Aamito Lagum.

The MAC Cosmetics Instagram page was bombarded after the international brand posted a picture of Ugandan-born Aamito Lagum, 23, sporting one of their lipsticks.

The backstage photograph of Aamito - winner of Africa's Next Top Model - was taken during New York Fashion Week and posted on the brand's social media.

It wasn't long before a number of Instagram users began commenting on the image. 

One person likened the 23-year-old model's pout to 'fish lips', while another wrote: 

"Holy shit. I thought this was Jay Z."

In a long rant one user wrote: "Black women will never be as beautiful as white women. The only argument blacks have is they have more melanin like that matters. Yes white women can get injections and when they do, they are basically flawless. 

"You don't have any thing over them anymore and thats why you get so p***** off. Keep lying to yourselves thinking your dark asses look better. Dont even come at me with the "all white features were first started by blacks". Even if that was true, WHERE THEY AT THO? Keep projecting your jealousy on white women though, Id rather be a cracker with injections than look like the majority of you oily yet ashy at the same time people.  Acting like you don't bleach your skins, get nosejobs, get contacts, and dye your hair blonde."

Wow! This person must really hate black people. SAD.

A very confident Aamito responded to the trolls by posting a response on her own Instagram page. She wrote: 

"My lips giving you sleepless nights. On @maccosmetics IG."

The model went on to thank the cosmetics brand and her make-up artist.

MAC cosmetics, along with many, seemed disgusted by the comments and responded by offering their support and adulation for Aamito and black beauty in general.

M·A·C stands for and respects All Ages, All Races, All Sexes. We celebrate the beauty of individuality, and the confidence to be who you are.
