Some people are complaining that the cover is racist. I know that you guys/gals have been talking about some race issues on here. Just wanting to get every ones opinion. IMO This is why we still talk about racism, because we keep bringing it up. I'm not black (or African American) but damn can a cover to a magazine...... just be a cover to a magazine. Who thinks the cover is racist? (Result) 1:) No I don't think its racist one bit. 2:) Who cares! 3:) Yes its racist, and Lebron should be ashamed! 4:) OR none of the above, Gisele Bundchen is hot, and I didn't even know Lebron was there! "Believe me on this. Please. I have descended into college football's Grand Canyon. I have stood in its Alps. I have gazed at its ocean sunset. I have attended a game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. And I've been changed forever". Bob Poliquin, columnist, Syracuse Post-Standerd Oct. 3, 2002

"James is a huge, black beautiful masculine statue and Gisele is a feminine, sexy gorgeous doll," said Christa Thomas, 36, a black account supervisor in Los Angeles. I agree with Christa........ except for the 'beautiful' part..... Grad - Official President of the Tre Smith Fan Club

But she said in an interview that the image is not unusual - white athletes are generally portrayed smiling or laughing, while black sports figures are given a 'beastly sort of vibe.'" This btch is always at the forefront of every racial discussion with her s***y articles. I cannot stand her. I believe some blacks want to portray it negatively so they can make a race issue out of it to show that "whitey is still racist." Does this black man look "beastly"? This one? Or how about this one? This particular white man isn't "smiling" as Jemelle says: This one either. (This "cover" may be photoshopped, but I have an issue of S.I. that contains this same picture of Giambi.) And lastly, this particular guy doesn't appear beastly either: Last Edited By: aufan06 03/27/08 22:01:21. Edited 1 times.

If he was that doesn't necessarily make it a racism, but let's face it; It's plain stupid to take the first African American male to appear on Vogue and have him simulate being a 50 ft gorrilla. JUST PLAIN STUPID! (Again, if that was what the photographer was trying to do).

I think this is ridiculous and again a lets make something out of nothing. I dont see anything racial about the cover. LeBron is big time and makes millions of dollars and we want to talk about race. Give me a break. The white women in the picture may get our eye but in the world of business I bet LeBron is way more marketable, makes more money and will have a longer career. I cant believe some feminist chick is not claiming it is sexist. that argument would have just as much validity.
