I belive if there is such a word called “stupider” that would be you. Peyton Manning is white, neither him nor his ancestors have ever been slaves in this country, He has never been referred to as the N-word, never been segregated and had to use the “black water fountain and the black restroom” never been told that 3 black men are equal to one white man. So, no it does not hold up and your showing how you need to re-register in school. Try some sh$t that’s not about YOU and read a book and not the kind with the rectangles and triangles and trace the dots!!!! Yeah. Okay, try not insulting, while you're putting down what you disagree with. Mind you, I don't have a problem with you putting down what you disagree with- that's what I am doing with what you wrote. But I'm not going to insult you, either. It's a nicer world that way, eh? I'm not sure what year we got rid of the "colored" bathrooms/water fountains. I'm sure just about everyone alive at this point, in this country have not, except grandparents, very few parents. Certainly the children (say under 40?) have very little memory of that level of segregation. I know racism has it's deep roots- I'm not going to say it's not there. Being called names is not something anyone can claim as a monopoly. ANYONE. Russians, Mexicans, whoever- around here (Vancouver, WA- where I live) they face discrimination, even as we as a society bend over backwards to accommodate them. Slaves? Okay, time to give up the slavery issue. It's been dead for a while. I understand it was a great injustice, but think of it this way: The Jews are not forever throwing it in peoples face that they were hunted down and exterminated. Both things were horrible. Keep in mind, many of the slaves were sold by their own countrymen. Granted, if the market hadn't been here, it would have been less, but my point is, ~I~ and MANY of my fellow "white" Americans NEVER OWNED slaves in OUR history, EITHER! My ancestors came over from Germany in the 1800's. Not exactly sure when, but in any case, they came out west, where they did their own work. It'd be interesting to know how many Americans who get dissed for their ancestor's owning slaves, don't HAVE any ancestor's who were even HERE in America until after slavery was abolished. I do realize many (most) were still kept down and all. Major point is- you're generalizing, just like you saying we dis all African Americans. I happen to like African-Americans/blacks MORE than my "white" peers, most of the time. I just hate it when someone dons the "I'm down for the struggle", when they've not been part of that struggle.

The first thing I noticed was - indeed - the shapes! The various colors and obvious textures set off the different shapes so well, the contrasts are amazing. If you want to find offense, it would be more sexist, however, I'm a white woman and I don't find it offensive at all, neither did any of my cousins who are black men. I think the image is balanced (yes, it is a tad awkward if you're looking at it as two people in reality rather than two people who are representing shapes) and put together beautifully.

None of us have ever been owned/have owned a human being. It is'nt a great picture regardless who they are. It's two people who happened to win the genetic lottery of life. IMO,LeBron is the bigger winner. He has looks and an amazing skill he was blessed with. Giselle has looks but I'm not sure she could walk and chew gum at the same time. Drop the slave mentality.

When I head they would be on the cover together.I was surprised. I was curious to see the pose.I knew there was no way he would be holding her in some sort of romantic pose.You don't even see men of color holding women of their own race on magazines, so there was no way. Nope even in 2008. I was not surprised in the least.I wonder if Lebron asked why he was suppsed to growl for the picture. The picture is indeed offensive.
