These are old photos where he was working out. Scandal gave them new context. Liebowitz took them.

That's BS to use them like that. Yes I know, naive of me to expect people to be appropriate and not twist things to suit their agenda. I don't give a damn what Tiger Woods did, that's not appropriate.
 
ok, so somewhat back to the topic...

I was just watching Wanda Sykes and she said the only group that has issues with her being married to a white woman are,
straight black women.

She made a funny and said "its not like they lost one".. but still..

WTF?

If bw don't buy the magazine and bw don't interest the ww who do, then why should they put bw on the cover?

As a ww, bw don't interest me in the slightest. I can name a couple of bw in film (and only one asian woman, unless we're counting porn), none of which I'm that taken with and none of which I would ever go to see a movie because they were in it (although Halle is damn hot, I'll agree with that). Which leads me to believe that there really probably wasn't anyone "of colour" to add to this particular issues cover image (however, being in Australia I could be unaware of someone who hasn't made it down here yet).

Same is actually true for ww actresses. I can name far more of them, but I wouldn't go to a movie (or buy a magazine) based on the fact that they were in it. A cover with a whole bunch of women on it doesn't interest me at all. LOL Unless it's Angelina Jolie, oh yes...I love the gal.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, I think I wandered far from my point a decade ago. Feels good to hear my own voice....errrr...fingers type, though.

See the problem with mainstream is they present themselves for everybody, that would be a good assessment if they didnt present themselves as an every person format, and try to label themselves america's this and that. They paint one picture of america. Again
lets not act like there arent racism in mainstream you dont want to give them to much or they will take it all. We have to be smart when it comes to racism and sadly people arent, because some actually think that it is gone, some think that it only exist within the KKK and Nazis and poor areas, some think racist cant be smart enough, right now we are not smart when it comes to prejudice and racism we think we are... but have anybody notice the circle black folks in mainstream keeps going in.

Token brotha, Token Brotha, successful black actress needs a white man, succesful black actress needs a white man, first african-american this, first african-american that second african-american this secon african-american this second african american that, no blacks, no blacks, black men & white women thats controversial, black men & white women thats controversial, ect.

Its the same shit over and over, GEE I wonder why.

This is where a smart person should create a publicaton that includes all people. Give another spin to the old way of doing things. Instead of complaining we should make new head way somewhere else.

You'd end up offending someone anyway. That's why there are so many magazines. There's something for everyone, because lets face it...one magazine can't please all.

Very true and since when does Vanity Fair have all the publication power. Like you said there are so many magazines why concentrate on one cover.
