?Here you have an image of a black male athlete in an exceptionally aggressive stance, wide footed, bending over, clutching her with his arm,? said Jason Rosenfeld, professor of art history at Marymount Manhattan College. ?It?s one thing to have an athlete in that kind of pose and with that kind of expression on a court after he or she has done something miraculous. It?s another thing to couple it with someone who is of an entirely different ilk and gender. That turns it into a racially charged image.?
Why the scrutiny? LeBron is the first black man, and only the third man in Vogue?s 115-year history, to grace the high fashion mag?s cover.
?When you?re for the first time putting a black man on the cover, and this is the way you?re depicting him, it means that you?re going nowhere,? Rosenfeld said. ?Pose LeBron in the pose of a Greek God and pose her as a Venus -- then you?re upping the conversation.?
1.) Rosenfeld, in case you?re wondering, is white. Robin Givhan, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion editor of the Washington Post and a former associate editor at Vogue, is black. And she doesn?t see what all the fuss is about.
2.) ?It?s so exhausting that every time people see an image of a black person they work themselves into a tizzy that somehow it doesn?t adhere to the way in which they think a black person should be presented,? she said.
1.) Of course he is. Liberal white men love to feel guilty, and love to make others feel the same way.
2.) Thank GOD for people like this. There is a severe shortage of people with their heads on straight in this world.
If it doesn't bother black people, white people need to shut the hell up about improper depiction of black people.

If you're making a point, it's apparently going over my head. Blazing Saddles is hilarious.

Oh God fucking dammit. Really, America? REALLY? It's time to turn into the skid, and have Ladies Home Journal put a picture of Jennifer Aniston, in blackface, dressed up like Aunt Jemima and singing "Old Dan Tucker" on their front cover. Let's see what the whiney, uppity, pussified American public thinks of that one.
Jesus this kind of pseudo "Let's try as hard as humanly possibly to find something to be offended by about this" liberal attitude about race pisses me off.
