King James Vogue Cover

Initially, I gave Vogue the benefit of the doubt. I mean, the only thing I hate more than racism is people making unsubstantial accusations of racism.

Personally, I had never seen the King Kong photo. After seeing it side-by-side with the Vogue cover, my opinion has changed.

I'm still left with one question: was this an insensitive attempt at reproducing art or was it a malicious attack purposed to demonize black men?

What do you think?
