Who is really the racist in the Vogue magazine media flap?!
Question: Is it really the magazine who photographed lebron James with a beautiful white girl... or the people who don't like the picture of the black man holding onto a white girl? Many of the critics have been black females, for example:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/sto... Jemele Hill of ESPN, who as far as I know was the first person to bring this issue up. Don't get me wrong, I actually like her work, but still... who's really the one with a problem? She disliked a picture of a black man with a white woman. She decided that it looked like King Kong...without much of a reason to. (the girls smiling, and clearly isn't held too tightly.) The media, probably white males mostly seem to also take offense. This may be a race issue, but maybe not the one people thought. What do you think?
