So the blogosphere is all abuzz about Vogue magazine’s choice of cover imagery when they finally put a black man on their cover. The picture of Basketball star LeBron James and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen (who is, of German descent), is being labeled racist because it evokes the stereotype of the black male ravaging the white female. Some even say LeBron’s posture and pose evokes King Kong (which is actually the same stereotype).
The cover shot was taken by superstar photog Annie Leibovitz. Vogue did have other, less incendiary images for it’s cover. Like the one after the jump.
