The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

The latest racial flap is about LeBron James and "Supermodel," Gisele Bundchen, who will appear on the cover of Vogue's April edition!

All hell broke lose after Vogue announced that James will be the first Black man to grace the cover of its magazine. I could see it coming a mile away, but not the race-baiters. James is being described by the race-baiters as "Looking Like A Gorilla, Baring His Teeth, With One Hand Dribbling a Ball, And The Other Around Bundchen's Tiny Waist."

Tamara Walker, a 29-year old Black woman from Philadelphia says the photo, "Conjures Up The Idea Of A Dangerous Back Man." Others say, "It's An Image Likened To "King Kong" And Fay Wray."

LeBron like any other "Healthy Heterosexual Male" isn't complaining. He said that he was pleased with the cover, and added, "I Was Just Showing A Little Emotion." And the man that I consider to be the best basketball player in the world went on to say:

"Everything My name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way. Who cares what anyone says?

That's the spirit LeBron! Screw the haters, as long as the check cleared the bank! These haters aren't going to put a dime in your bank account. But, they've got "Millions Of Critical Remarks."

Another critic, a guy by the name of Samir Husni, who is said to be a magazine critic said the photo "was deliberately provocative." Husni also said, "It screams King Kong, considering Vogue's influential history. Its covers are not something that the magazine does in a rush." Husni wouldn't shut up:

"So when you have a cover that reminds people of King Kong and brings those stereotypes to the front, black man wanting white woman. It's not innocent"

Vogue spokesman Parick O'Connell said the magazine attempted to "celebrate two superstars at the top of their game for the magazine's annual issue devoted to size and shape"

Now, I want you to think about something. What has my column on this subject made you want to do? Pick up a copy of the April issue of Vogue magazine, right? Hello, this is the point of the controversy, and that is to "Sell Millions Of Copies Of The April Issue Of Vogue."

By the way, have you ever been to Brazil? I have!

I can tell you that most of the people in Brazil, "Are Black." Chances of "Real Good That Gisele Bundchen Has Black Blood In Her." Do not be fooled by her looks!

With this foolish controversy, I truly believe that "The Ability To Think In A Profound Manner Has Been Lost."

When you mix that in with a lack of worldly knowledge, you end up with stupid statements like, "LeBron James Was Made To Look Like King Kong."

These people have way too much free time on their hands!
