Black people if you look for racism can you find it?

Has anyone read the article over the Lebron James coverstory controversy? Why is this causing controversy? As a black person, do you find this cover offensive? I personally was appalled to read an article claiming that this photograph demoralizes black men because of the implications. Why create racism where there is none? Do you find this allegations to be true? On the cover of Vogue magazine there is a picture of Gisele Bundchen (a BRAZILIAN model, not a white woman by the way) and Lebron James (an NBA superstar with one too many tattoos that apparently cause him to look like a "death row inmate.") The writer of this article claims that this photograph turns him into "King Kong" with Fay Wray in his arms. The writer of this article is black. I'm sensing the writer of this article has personal identity issues. Does anyone out there agree with me when I say, if it ain't broke don't fix it?
