Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz has found herself in a racism row with critics of her dimly lit Vogue portrait of Ketanji Brown Jackson claiming it demonstrates her repeated failure to light black stars 'properly'. Leibovitz proudly shared her two photos of the Supreme Court justice on Twitter this week after they were published on Vogue's website.

If she had lit her up, they would be complaining she was trying to make her look more white
Racism charges are like climate change arguments.....you simply cannot win. Everything is racist and everything is climate change.
Two ‘f-stop’ clicks up should take care of the problem.
So who picked the dark, dark brown dress, jacket or heavy wool throw rug (whatever that is) she has on?
In keeping with the times, these people should be taking selfies.
Wonder if she mistook her for someone in another role.
Like when Michelle Obama allegedly had a shopper ask her if she could reach the top shelf for detergent, thinking she was a sales clerk.
People Mag., 2014 had said President Obama described being mistaken for a waiter and a valet, indignities that illustrate his brushes, albeit minor, with racism.
The Christian Science Monitor pointed out the conservatives and countered that Michelle had a bright print outfit which did not look like any Target uniform and a shopper said “If you’re short and somebody is tall you can ask nicely for help. Happens all the time.” Michelle is 5 ft.11. And that her Letterman show description had discrepancies with the other account and may have been made up to elicit sympathy.
Good grief Charlie Brown......the woman is darker than night, she’s wearing brown, it looks like twilight out there and the “bytchers” are still bytchin’.....do they want her lighter? Is that the problem?
Was this from your All Immigrants Welcome Here sign response collection?
I thought her roommate was very nice being emotional support for him!
Annie Leibovitz is full of herself. That’s what happens when people start calling you “legendary.”
I must have missed the photo spread Vogue did on Amy Coney Barrett. Which issue was that in?
So I typed the words "OJ sombrero" into Google, and got a bunch of images, but none were the one I was looking for.
The one I posted was delivered by the Google "OJ sombrero" search.
Wait so they are saying it’s “wrong” and less desirable to be shown as dark. Interesting.

I remember a skit on the Best of Saturday Night Live where the real Julian Bond insulted the role playing Garrett Morris that light skinned blacks are more intelligent and higher class than dark skinned blacks. Bond said later:
Looking back at the episode I hosted, I felt discomfort with a skit we did. Appearing as myself on a mock television interview show about black issues, I told Garrett Morris, one of SNL‘s original “Not Ready for Prime Time Players,” that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks. Morris, who is darker skinned than I am, did a perfect double take. I felt squeamish then but did the skit anyway, and I feel uneasy about this joke even today. I believed it treaded dangerously on the fine line between comedy and poor taste. The Hollywood Reporter, January 15, 2014 by Julian Bond.

I never got that. Did Michelle just assume the woman thought she worked there because she asked her for help? I have asked taller people to get things for me from on high, and people who are shorter than I have asked me. That seems like a normal thing.
And wow, I have even offered to help people who seemed to need help!
“What does properly lighting black people even mean?”
Ever try to photo a dry Black Lab?
The rats are devouring each other.
