racist or not?

[chamber-music]

thats real gay that you knew her name was posh spice...

Not really since I'm from England and she was in every newspaper and magazine non stop for about 8 years. I really hate the spice girls but she has a lot of publicity over here so its hard to ignore her.

Anyone who thinks it's racist has never seen Lebron in action. His physical presence is intimidating because that's part of being an powerful pro athlete. He also wears that expression on his face a lot during games, especially when he's driving the lane. It shows his intensity. There is not one thing racist about this cover. The people that think it is need to find better things to do with their time.

Maybe. Though I can easily picture some poncy photographer saying "I want him to display his SAVAGERY!!". I dunno.

Nice to see ya Wilhelm. Thought maybe you had died.

as a photographer who has done a few photoshoots, i can say i want to model to do anything, but they can always tell me to **** off if they don't want to. 99.9% of the time the final shot is a combo of what all parties wanted

I don't think the picture is racist, but I've gotta admit the first image that popped into my mind at his pose/expression WAS of an angry or posturing gorilla.

The thing is, if it was a white dude, or a hispanic dude, or any other guy in that pose, I'd think the same thing. I don't find that a stretch at all, really. We do, as organisms, look extremely similar, and we're all primates.

plus, in the 90's I'd have totally done ALL of the spice girls, except baby, because you know.

that would've been creepy.

I wonder if it was a Hispanic dude, would they have made him lean up against a cactus and take a nap to take his picture?

Only if the picture includes a bottle of tequila and a sombrero.

I think celldog still hasn't grasped the concept of "posting pictures that relate to the topic"
