LeBron: Clueless dupe, or promoter of racism?
There’s been quite the brouhaha over the Vogue cover featuring LeBron James and Tom Brady’s current flame that was shot by Annie Leibovitz. The not-so-subtle King Kong reference has given rise to a furious debate over the depiction of black athletes, with pundits far and wide hoping to set the new land-speed record for sphincterism.
But did you know that LeBron has been appearing in racially insensitive cover shots since high school? That’s right. The guy is practically a walking advertisement for the Klan. Here are some of the other controversial covers you might have missed…

There is no “lighting the matter up” the Vogue cover is indeed depicting King Kong. Further Men’s Health disqualifies as they ONLY put Black men on the cover if they are celebrities. I had a subscription and canceled for that reason.
“The message: LeBron is really a masked rioter who throws stones at police, because that’s what black people like to do on their lunch hour.”
Dude, you are waaaay off base here. Black people don’t have jobs.
Kevin, you’re an idiot.
Hilarious.

Making fun of Kermin was uncalled for!

Interesting that nobody made a stink about depicting white women as eternal, helpless victims. In green dresses. x
