I just said influx, luv. That'll range from posts to threads

[throwintheTAL]

because whether you make a thread about it or not, your posts usually come back to the subject.

& it's just confusing is all.

ok....

back to the EBONY cover.

I was surprised when I saw this on this timeline, the only thing I could think is "was the mag white-owned"? Kinda like BET is a child of Viacom? But I saw someone commenting that it was black owned. If I research that and find it to be true I will be very confused and disappointed.

That's a weird cover. Only of three of them even look black.

[throwintheTAL]

[Herb.]

lol. Talisa if you're looking for mess or an argument let me know so I can just place you on block in advance. I really don't have the desire.

Well in the context of the time it was published its not really surprising. I want to see the actual article.

Why is the unbelievable if you're aware of internalized racism and the factors that cultivated them?

i think sis just wanted to post something edgy

at first when I saw ur post i was like is he serious

but u actually make a LOT of sense. and bring up an interesting perspective. this was the era of tar black depictions of blacks eating watermelons with chiclet shaped teeth, etc. maybe this was their way, albeit tasteless, of fighting stereotypes?

Today, a cover like this wouldn't even cross the mind of a publisher, if they wanted their magazine to last. Not even the edgiest of magazines would dare try it.

when I look at it that way, it makes sense. I just think it just shocked me , initially.

I feel like I saw this before on B Source
in a race related thread I think I saw the actual article
it was all pictures of light-skinned/mixed women
its was either this, or a TIME article that was similar
anyway this is a mess

I see what Jon is saying, definitely. It's logical.
But it's just still unbelievable something like this was published by us.

I think that's my mindset of a black person in 2015
I'm sure the mindset was different then. Clearly, they knew this would sell copies.
Otherwise they wouldn't have put it out.

In 2015, some idiot releases mess like this, white OR black publication...
and it's a wrap.
