RIDICULOUS! The blogger seems like a racist trying to stir up some controversy. Look at the wording. Definitely not a description I would read from an African American blogger. Ni*ger? Come on!!! This person probably saw the cover and it reminded them of the King King cover, dug it up and blogged to start racial tension. Never underestimate the mind of a racist. I’m happy to see that most people aren’t easily influenced!

shape and health uh! GBD, you say it is a caption
under the picture that states that. OK that may be. images have been used for social distinction for years. rather it be a woman holding a pan of baked cookies in her hand to give to guest while the husband sets in the recliner reading a paper.
Or the couple taking food during a crisis are searching for food but,the shot of two people from the opposite race caring food, are labeled thieves. OH! what am I saying the media would never pertray African American’s as vicious beast. through the images on mags, shame on me.

I saw it from the begining. What the blogger says is true. Altough I’m not offended,but he should be. That’s what balck men get for not statnding up for the black woman and apreciating thier beauty. He should have requested one of the many beautiful balck women in hollywood be on the cover with him. But, that’s the way of the world.

I don’t think that the cover is offensive. People play to much into racism. Everytime something “looks” offensive everyone and they mom wants to call it offensive. Stop acting like babies.

People please,,It is just a picture and a pretty clever one from a marketing standpoint,,,,,Did anyone notice that there is a caption underneath the picture? The issue is devoted to shape,health and wellness and also features other top athletes and models. LeBron represents the best of the best and that is why he was chosen to grace the cover.It is an honor and Vogue gave him mad respect.Magazine covers are designed to attract consumers and I am certain many people who do not read Vogue bought the issue or at least read the article. It was a wim/win for both Vouge and King James.
Take offense at King, Source, Vibe and other so called urban magazines and the way they portray people on their covers every month…

You got to be kidding me. King Kong…. Not at all. Stop reading into everything my brothers and sisters. Lebron has closed to 200 million in endorsments, I don’t think him or his team of advisers would have done this if it was a negative idea. He didn’t get there by makin stupid decisions thats for sure.

i don’t see anything wrong with it. to me the only thing racist about it is when you see the king kong picture and vogue’s and think ape and black man…you’re racist. they call him King James and i think it was just something done to put him with that persona with the King Kong type of thing. King James, big strong and dominating some things.
