Question: Any response to Vogue's "Shape" issue with LeBron James (1st black man to be on cover) & Gisele Bundchen!?
The magazine's choice of cover photo was LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen!. linked in an odd, front-facing-not-quite embrace!.
The basketball player is the first black man, and the fourth black person (following Jennifer Hudson, Halle Berry and Oprah)!. James is hunched over and looks like he is roaring, yes, roaring!. He is wearing all black athletic clothing, and has a basketball suspended in the air either rising or falling!. His brow is furrowed, teeth somewhat bared, and eyes are fixed somewhat menacingly on the viewer!.
Bunchen meanwhile is is dressed in an ethereal green gown and seems to be smiling but on her way to spin out of his embrace!.
Mainstream and progressive news sources questioned the magazine's intent in choosing this image!. Questions were raised as to whether Vogue is racist (Donny Deutch, former ad exec!. and host of CNBCs The Big Idea)!.
Why would Vogue choose these two celebs and this photo for their "Shape" issue in the first place!? Is this a racist cover - and/or is Vogue a racist publication!? (due to this cover, or the fact that of how many issues, this is the first time a black man made the cover, and the fourth time a black person was featured on the cover)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Answers:
i found the cover of that magazine to be Absolutely amazing annie lebovitz is an extraordinary photographer and i think that there is no racism in the shot at all!. The only thing i thought was a little unsettling is more of a male domination thing but knowing how powerful anna wintour is i would doubt it!. This was the body issue and Giselle Bundchen is called the body in the modeling industry so it is clear that she would be chosen for the cover but as for LeBron James you would have to know more about basketball and i so do not but his name is heavily associated with the sport so im assuming he is very very talentedWww@Enter-QA@Com
no i don't think vogue is racist!. Italian vogue just did an issue with only black models and it sold out across the world, they had to reprint it!. that's never happened before in the history of vogue!.
the majority of vogue's readership are Caucasian females!. the magazine exists purely to sell itself!. so you could say that it is in fact the readership, rather than the publication that is racist!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
