That’s Right, you heard it here first, along with Black men being compared to Gorillas, such as King Kong Stereotypes, Aggressive beasts, the list goes on with these ludicrous accusations by one group of people in the USA.

Apparently a Black Pro Star Athlete LeBron James is accused of fitting these stereotypical rants from NO, not the Klu Klux Klan, not the White Supremacists or any other Twit for Brains Race Baiters.

No, people, these assumptions are being made by, you guessed it. The Lefty Liberal Society of Political Correctness, long being the bastion of what they force us to adhere to their morally acceptable society today, these “Colon Tasters” wish us to believe that a Pro Athlete, who happens to be a Famous Black man is being oppressed and ridiculed because he is photographed in a Vogue Fashion Magazine with White Supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

The Politically Correct Nimrods feel this is demeaning to the Black Race, because it stereotypes all Black Men as wanting to steal away White Women. Never mind that this is a women’s magazine read by virtually every woman of all racial backgrounds, who most likely are salivating over this Pro Athlete. Of course we all know if Lily White Pro Athlete Soccer Star Beckham were in the same pose with Supermodel Naomi Campbell who is Black, all would be whisper quiet on the Politically Correct Front. Nary a word would be spoken.

You know, you would think our society has progressed as a Western Culture, but when the Politically Correct continually moisten their “Depends” whenever they perceive someone other than a White person is making a success of themselves, they feel they must be our moral guardians and seek out hidden meanings in every aspect of our life, so they can sit back smugly and smell each others rancid farts.

As for me, Hell, I would wear Fluffy pink bunny ears, nipple rings , and super glue macaroni all over my nibbly bits to be photographed embracing either supermodel Naomi Campbell or Gisele Bundchen on Vogues Cover, but the only salivating that would be going on would be from me.

As for whether Lebron would jump at the chance to date Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Well DUH!!!

As for the Politically Correct Society, well if anyone needs to absolutely "Bitch Slap the Taste out of their Mouths", it's the PC Society, and I am betting Lebron would be the first one in line to do it.

NEW YORK - When Vogue announced its April cover starring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen, the magazine noted with some fanfare that James was the first black man to grace its cover.

But the image is stirring up controversy, with some commentators decrying the photo as perpetuating racial stereotypes. James strikes what some see as a gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen's tiny waist.

It's an image some have likened to "King Kong" and Fay Wray.

"It conjures up this idea of a dangerous black man," said Tamara Walker, 29, of Philadelphia.

Photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the 6-foot-9 NBA star and the 5-foot-11 Brazilian model for the cover and an inside spread. Vogue spokesman Patrick O'Connell said the magazine "sought to celebrate two superstars at the top of their game" for the magazine's annual issue devoted to size and shape.

"We think Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen look beautiful together and we are honoured to have them on the cover," he said.

James told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer he was pleased with the cover, saying he was "just showing a little emotion."

"Everything my name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way," James told the paper. "Who cares what anyone says?"

But magazine analyst Samir Husni believes the photo was deliberately provocative, adding that it "screams King Kong." Considering Vogue's influential history, he said, covers are not something that the magazine does in a rush.

"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," he said.

O'Connell, the Vogue spokesman, declined further comment.

In a column at ESPN.com, Jemele Hill called the cover "memorable for all the wrong reasons." But she said in an interview that the image is not unusual - white athletes are generally portrayed smiling or laughing, while black sports figures are given a "beastly sort of vibe."

For example, former NBA star Charles Barkley was depicted breaking free of neck and wrist shackles on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Dennis Rodman graced the cover of Rolling Stone with horns poking out of his forehead and his red tongue hanging out.

Images of black male athletes as aggressive and threatening "reinforce the criminalization of black men," said Damion Thomas, assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at University of Maryland.

But others say the image shows James' game face - nothing more. And they note that Bundchen hardly looks frightened.

"James is a huge, black beautiful masculine statue and Gisele is a feminine, sexy gorgeous doll," said Christa Thomas, 36, a black account supervisor in Los Angeles.

"I didn't see any kind of racist overtone to it," she said. "I still don't. I think there is such a hypersensitivity to race still in this country."

Husni said it is too soon to know how the magazine is selling, though the controversy could increase sales as people rush out to get a "collector's edition."

If nothing else, Walker said the cover underscores the need for a more diverse workplace.

"If more people of colour worked for Vogue in positions of editorial authority, perhaps someone in the room might have been able to read the image the way so many of us are reading it now, and had the power to do something about it," she said.
