So here is the new Vogue cover that is being called "racially insensitive." WHAT?? WHY?? Some critics are saying that Lebron James is striking a "gorilla like poise" (similar to that of King Kong and Fay Wray), therefore creating a racial stereotype. Come on, are you serious???!!! Cant it just be what it is...the cover of a magazine? When I looked at the cover the thought never even crossed my mind. In fact, when I heard that it was controversial (before I heard why) I stared at the cover for a few minutes trying to think of reasons how it could be considered insensitive. Why is everything turned into some conspiracy? Here is a link to the USAToday article so that you can read all of the ridiculous details and quotes that I have left out.
Sorry I had to vent...
