The April cover of Vogue magazine features LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen in what has become a very controversial pose. Many people are criticizing the cover stating that it is perpetuating racial stereotypes. Some have even linked the image to King Kong and Fay Wray. This is just amazing to me. People think that we are in a time when race relations are fine and they just aren't. How can anyone expect a nation to recover from so many years of racism. The civil rights movement just happened a little over 40 years ago people!
I mean I just wonder if this cover was on Ebony magazine, would it be such a problem? Or if Lebron was carrying a black woman, would it such a stir?? I think not, what do you think?
