In their annual homage to the lonely, sexually frustrated male; SI has unveiled this years edition of the swimsuit issue.
And on the cover is Beyonce. On her knees. Bowing down before the white male oriented readership of this soft porn peddling "sports" magazine.
Now, we would be willing (almost willing, anyway) to accept the young Negress in such a pose. One can claim artistic license, we suppose. But SI took that license too far in another picture. And it is THAT other picture which, when linked to Beyonce bowing down to the white male readers on the cover, makes clear SI's intention of degrading the Tribe of Shabazz.
Those are members of Grambling's marching band. One of the proudest traditions of HBCU's is that of the marching band. Many of the annual clashes on the gridiron between HBCU's focus on the battle of the bands during the halftime show. And here, here we have proud members of the Grambling band forced to put down their instruments and carry some rail thin white chick. Is she too lazy to stand? Can't she get down on her knees like Beyonce? Nope. Instead let's make the Negroes carry her anorexic ass around town.
What? You are a proud percussionist or tuba player? Excellent, you are used to carrying dead weight. Grab a thigh!
Brothers and Sisters this is one of the most heinous slights against a proud Negro tradition that we have yet witnessed. Using the Pride of Grambling's bandmembers to hoist up and virtually genuflect to a bullemic white girl is the ultimate slap in the face to HBCU's every where.
How the hell are our young Negro band members supposed to "break it down" while marching around carrying Snow White?
If Sports Illustrated actually cared about Negro traditions and HBCU's, they would have had the band carrying this:
Now, an ass like that REQUIRES a marching band to carry it around!

IN THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM
Classic. But at least the Negress is on her knees wearing a $400 swimsuit designed and sold by a swimwear line that she owns. This is the kind of marketing opportunity that the Original Human has long lacked!
"This is the kind of marketing opportunity that the Original Human has long lacked!"
Sir, "House of Dereon" is MORE than just a swimwear line. The design house headed by Beyonce's talented mother provides couture for all occassions and budgets. Check them out at www.houseofdereon.com . If you have a lady friend, you'll be glad you did!
(How's that for marketing?)
That is one fat bitch. Is that young Oprah?
"That is one fat bitch."
Sir, we suggest you recalibrate your BF measurement methods. There isn't an oz of fat on that body. That bootay is PURE thickness. Now if you prefer to grab onto some shortribs and hambone while knockin' boots, hey thats up to you.
"Hey, will you Negroes put down your instruments and hold this white girl?" I imagine that's a question that did not have to be asked twice, so let's not shed a tear for the band members.
Oprah has NEVER looked like Serena in her whole entire life! Why do you think she has kept up this whole charade of having a boyfriend for the past 20 years? The only way I do Oprah is if she tapes her W-2 or E-Trade account statement over her face.
"Why do you think she has kept up this whole charade of having a boyfriend for the past 20 years?"
Sir, because she and Gayle King are lesbians?
i'd do oprah for the story..and on the off chance that my negro seed would penetrate her and leave me as her baby daddy and thus paid for life.
so would all of you.
don't lie.
Yeah, the Grambling band members truly look "forced" to hold that woman...
Perhaps instead of seeing "symbolism" that may or may not even exist, you should give thanks that, as another commenter said, a black woman is on the cover in her own line.
Or better yet, decry the objectification of all women, not just one of your own race. To assume that such degradation is okay for white women but not black women is simple racism...no more, no less. At least those before you knew how to respect women...
That Band Couldn't Lift that Ass.
P.S. Beyonce begged to be in that magazine. Don't blame the white man. Blame the Negro woman who wants her hair to look white.
"Or better yet, decry the objectification of all women, not just one of your own race. To assume that such degradation is okay for white women but not black women is simple racism...no more, no less. At least those before you knew how to respect women"
Sir, YOU made that assumption. We don't recall saying that degradation was ok. You've tipped YOUR racist hand with your comment.
Additionally, as advocates for the Tribe of Shabazz, we feel ZERO obligation to advocate for whites, regardless of gender. The US government and society have advocated for the rights and interests of whites of all genders since this country was founded. And they have done it at the expense of the Negro since day one.
"Blame the Negro woman who wants her hair to look white."
Sir, and shall we say the white models in the magazine that exhibit a radiant tan are trying to look Negro?
When did black people become more racist and biggoted that white people? jeeze-us. Get your head outta your ass, and learn to oogle at all the beautiful young ladies that come in every shape and color and stop focusing on the "plight" of the black man. there is no fucking plight, its just a bunch of crap you hold against white people for something that happend over a hundred years ago. we have equality now, but it doesnt seem like many leaders of the black culture want to assimilate and would much rather keep thier race down with biggoted comments like such. get over it lewis, nobody likes you anyways, and you are setting the black race back even more. negress? wtf is that. beyonce is a beautiful black woman, not a negress you igronant turd. its 2007, and she is rich enough to choose her own poses for a magazine, not to mention the so called oppressed grambling band members, well, that the hottest ass they've ever had thier hands on, and im quit sure they didnt mind, especially since im sure they were paid for thier appearance. once again, enough with this militant black shit. learn to get along with people and stop being such an ignorant fuckface.
sincerely, white guy that though beyonce looked beautiful
Whomever wrote this complete garbage is no better than Tim Hardaway you biggoted piece of trash. its 2007, get over it already.
"sincerely, white guy that though beyonce looked beautiful "
Sir, (giggles), what can we say?
I'm not sure if it is your eloquence of words, your intricate thought process, your depth of reason or your ability to summarize the state of social justice in America with, "we have equality now"; but whatever it is, you have touched our soul to the very core. We are now officially colorblind, just as the rest of America is: justice is served and equality is achieved!
Oh, and "i" before "e", except after "c", ok?
"Whomever wrote this complete garbage is no better than Tim Hardaway you biggoted piece of trash. its 2007, get over it already. "
Sir, point taken. We will get over the fact that America is a racist society. Thanks for the wake up call!
Very nice, but I think one marching band from an HBCU is insufficient for Serena -- have Southern give a hand, too.
"Very nice, but I think one marching band from an HBCU is insufficient for Serena -- have Southern give a hand, too. "
Sir, agreed. FAMU has already volunteered.
How about negress Jessica White standing on top of white USC band players?
