I don't know if you guys have heard the controversy regarding the latest Vogue cover...
 People are complaining that it's racist. That his "gorilla-like" pose is perpetuating racial stereotypes. That it portrays an angry black man. That it screams "King Kong." If you see a black man and a white woman on a cover and immediately think "King Kong" then really... who's the racist? I'm really getting sick of people calling things out as racist when there's none to be found. People need to lighten up. |

That's Giselle? haha, oops.
I didn't see it as racist at all. People are just ridiculous... there was this great article on it though by Jason Whitlock, if anyone wants to read it. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/7955740...P>1=39002 |
