Uhm the host was making a light hearted comment about hair (meaning ALL hair) when the camera COINCIDENTALLY panned toward the African American Model. The host apologized. Another case of over reaction. Period.

Sandra: "You might look back and think why did I wear my hair like that; you'll like your bag still.
Sue: You won't look at your hair in this picture, you'll look at your handbag.
Sandra: Right.
first of all, that is a small portion of the entire conversation.
secondly, I would venture to guess that people of all colors, ethnicities, hair types, etc ALL have past pictures where they say "what was I thinking?" about their hairstyle, their clothing etc. What Sandra was saying, if you listen to the whole conversation in context, it that some things go out of style and some things are classics-and she was asserting that the handbag being sold was a classic and would not be regretted.

Clearly the host would never have made reference to this model's hair. Absurd. This is not only a case of overreaction IMO but the very tired old case of Looking For Ways to Blame Whites Due to Chip On Shoulder. There I've said it.

I find it sad...
What is truly sad is that there is still so much racism in this country that people *do* react this way. If we didn't have a racism problem, there wouldn't have been a knee-jerk reaction like this.
I don't believe there was any insult intended at all. But, as long as we have a racism problem in this country, this will happen - and sometimes it really is racism rearing its ugly head.
But, not this time.

However, making a huge deal out of something as ridiculous as this does NOTHING to improve relations. They should find something real to create a mountain of.

Complicated.....the video I watched was from the OP's link. If you have more dialogue to add from another link, please do so. I wasn't watching the program on Qvc so there may in fact be more dialogue but I would think the OP would have included that link as well. When you go to the OP's link like I did, you have to scroll down to the very bottom to get to the video.
Also, want to add....the hosts have a monitor in front of them that's on a delay. All of them know what they will be viewing next, before we do. So, her assertion that the camera moved to the model and she didn't realize it when she spoke about hair, just doesn't add up.

No one meant that to hurt anyone. It was a simple comment in regards to all women. Sandra should not have to apologize for anything. She did nothing wrong. The people raising cane are the ones that are wrong. They owe her an apology!!!!!!!
I wish she wouldn't have apologized. By doing so it lets the ridiculous people think she has something to apologize for which she absolutely positively does not.
Agreed - some are calling this some kind of 'victory' and congratulating each other on other websites and blogs. It only encourages further such behavior and worse. Many are demanding Sandra be fired and are threatening to promote a boycott of QVC.
Unbelievable the hate at a woman who would never had made that comment towards the model. This is what we have come to...we see race every where...even when this is being falsely used to demean a woman who has always showed such class.
