Why countenance any picture that plays on defaming stereotypes?
I don’t think that it was the intent to ‘defame’ LeBron James (or blacks in general). The photograph was taken by Annie Leibovitz, who last time I checked, was an unabashed liberal. Obviously she meant to stir the pot with an interracial photo, but it’s a stretch to assume that she was trying to slur Mr. James with such a portrayal on a major magazine.
