Watch out Tom




Ok, so this just won't seem to go away. I guess this picutre of Lebron has offended some people. And I hear that, and I think...what's that now? Now, I am not black, but really? Yes, Jissel is really hot like the chick in the cartoon apes hand. But really, Lebron a giant ape? How about Lebron, the giant badass? Now apparently there is some history here, and only black people are meant to look mean in pictures, because there is a history of making them look like that or something, I don't know, I don't get it all. But really? Doesn't this picture just look like Lebron just threw one down in Sheeds' face?
Oh yeah, and let's not act like this is the only picture ever taken of Lebron. Aparently photographers ARE allowed to take pictures of black people that don't make them look feriocious and like King Kong...go figure.
This picture was not to offend anyone, it was to show the fire in all athletes, not just black athletes, and to compare it with the grace of a model. If Rhiana was in the picture with Lebron, would we still be having this discussion? Why can't this just be a magazine cover with a bad ass and a really hot chick?
