MUCH PROPS! @ kimberlee....oh boy kimberlee. Some of what u say is quite disturbing, and ur missing major points b3ing made. You claim that blacks should blame themselves for the negative images they portray, but not all of us are 50, diddy or jay-z. Who owns mtv, vh-1 and bet? VIACOM. That's a white-owned company hon. They control what images are distributed immensely. Sure we have bad boys like jay z, and booty poppin hoes. But we also have the jill scotts, india aire's, lupe fiasco's and pharrell's that are misrepresented. They are misrepresented bc they want ppl like u 2 think gang bangin and booty poppin is all we are about... clearly, and sadly....it worked. @ headache & FF…. MUCH PROPS!

Isn't she Latin? And I agree with someone up there. I would be much more interested in a Rihanna wedding, Beyonce can be really annoying What I don’t get-if American magazines are racist, then why would Eva Longoria be so popular? Isn’t she Latin?

I flipped through the pages of the gossip rags, trying to find dress shots. They kept on showing Gwyneth Paltrow and Solange instead. :-P I was bummed by the relatively light coverage.

I especially agree with your last comment headache. I've known a few people both black and white that are not outright racist but insist on stereotyping other races and don't make any effort to look beyond what is put out there by a media that glorifies trashiness on both sides. Argh - I hoped to be more articulate than this but all of my well reasoned thoughts seemed to have flow away. headache, FF, and geronimo all make very good points.

Blacks aren't the only ones who lift up, glorify and emulate the worst of themselves. Must I mention Britney Spears and Pam Anderson again? As for music lyrics, a study found that the two genres most likely to sing about sex, drug use and alcoholism is rap AND COUNTRY! There are just as many scantily clad hootches in rock videos as rap and hip hop ones. The term sex, drugs, and rock and roll was not invented by blacks. Most of these black women who should be getting magazine covers aren't perpetuating a thug lifestyle so why they hell is anyone even bringing it up? Britney makes the cover more times than anyone can count and her ass is nothing near someone anyone should be emulating. Even before her "fall from grace" her ass was on the cover boobs hanging out, airbrushed to maximum hotness and youth like candy before grown men and people were buying the magazines left and right. I'm sick of reading these comments where people call out blacks for objectifying women when EVERYONE is just as guilty of it. How long has the white community used skinny ass, big titties women to sell cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc? What the hell was Mick Jagger singing about when he said I can't get no satisfaction? You think it's not there because Guns and Roses never sang the word Bitches? Nearly every other song in the sixties and seventies was about drug use of some sort? You think you get points because they used metaphors? Besides thug rap and all that isn't the only form of black music out there. There's Jill Scott, India Aire, Mary J Blidge, Outkast, Nas, etc. Some of you aren't racist but you sure as hell are eager as shit to pigeonhole black people into some kind of place. We call that stereotyping. Okay some of you have serious issues if you think that the black community dogs itself more than the white community.
