Damn It Why Lebron?

WTF happened to Lebron James Public Relations people? To allow this photo to be on the cover of Vouge magazine.  James is only the third sportsmen to grace the cover and when he does has to look like Donkey Kong?  This is a disgrace to black folks and James and his Public Relations should feel ashamed of themselves. In the words of Larry Fishburn in School Daze…. WAKE UP !!!!!!

    This photo didn't rile me up like it did the Jemele Hills of the world--it's insensitivity, not hate.   However, anyone who can't see the negative racial stereotypes or takes umbrage at the fact that others might be offended is a twit.

LeBron James Vogue Cover is a Racist Piece of Art.
neswsports.com 3/27/2008 — It seamed harmless at first, but the underlying tones shout at you. She seams delicate and silky with blond flowing hair and invoking all things pure including being white. LeBron has that look on his face and is a black man dressed in black. They are supposed to be complete opposites. All of the subtle nuances of the cover add up to a pretty racist photo.
