I am glad to see that black folk can see through the sterotypes and subliminal messages (i.e. King Kong and dumb white girl). However, too many black male atheles prefer to marry white women. So maybe art is imitating life.

I heard the controversy over this picture…….i’m an african american and if anybody has ever watched basketball up closely the athletes make faces like that after the dunk or make a nice shot……..people want to say that the picture is racist i don’t see how it is. It was just all in fun and I don’t really think lebron took it that way. People portray the pic to look like king kong and if you see it that way that’s your opinion but try to look on the positive side……
Also they look like who thy are….she’s a model and he’s a basketball superstar……

OK,

BIG PICTURE…NIKE, LEBRON, and VOGUE. They all got together and thought about how to make you guys all talk and start some controversy and subconsciously most of you are falling into their plans. At the end of the day its about how much money the big 3 mentioned above will make. So I would have to say their plan is paying off so far. Sales of teh magazine will prove this theory. Like someone said earlier WAKE UP! We are in a recession and teh smart people are trying to get payed.

All the racial slurs and negativity means someone needs therapy. This is 2008! WAKE UP! It’s the character that counts. Subliminal…blah-blah. Yawn. Anyway, if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say nothing at all. Ask yourself, what prompts you to make negative, derogatory comments? Join Oprah’s class or church. Travel the world and open your closed minds. Get your GED. That racist junk is passe. Nobody with any sense thinks along those lines any more. Only members of the KKK and everybody knows they are ignorant.

2cents

True Nike wants its products shown but they could’ve done it in a much better way. The cover is still tasteless because of the whole “king kong kidnappes scared innocent little white white look” that Vogue seem to think was a good thing to do.
