Is everything seriously racist to the left nowadays?

Vogue magazine is facing backlash after publishing a recent issue of their magazine with a photo of Kamala Harris on the cover.

Apparently, they don’t like the photo that they chose and thought that they should have chosen a more formal looking photo instead of the photo that they chose.

In the chosen photo, Harris is wearing some Converse sneakers and a dark suit. But in the photo that was supposedly agreed upon was much different. Take a look at the photos below.

3. To be clear, this Vogue cover of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is real.

It's just that per a source familiar, this is not the cover that was mutually agreed upon. The agreed upon cover had VP-elect Harris in a powder blue suit.

So folks feel blindsided this evening. pic.twitter.com/PRhTBpXzxm

4. Here is the Vogue cover Kamala Harris’ team thought would be released.

I’m told this cover on the left will be the digital cover, but the much maligned cover on the right has already gone to print and will be the cover available for sale and sent to subscribers. pic.twitter.com/5eWjPMTbdP

Well, it can’t just be construed as a mistake or that they just messed up. Instead, they’ve made it an issue about race.

Anything bad that happens to black people seems to get turned into something about race nowadays and it’s a shame.

The New York Times reports, though, that Vogue believes it was in the right to select the photo they wanted. “Vogue had not granted any kind of contractual cover approval rights to Ms. Harris,” they said. “That meant Ms. Harris’s team had not seen the final choice, which was left to Vogue, and had not known the magazine had decided to swap the photos.”

Given that the controversy involved progressive social media, the issue eventually became Vogue’s “racist” history.

“For decades, the magazine has excluded and underpaid Black talent, and published racially insensitive images and stories. This casual image of the woman who will be America’s first woman vice president seems to add to the narrative of Vogue’s lack of respect for women of color, even one who has risen higher in the American power structure than any other woman in US history,” Vox notes. “There was considerable labor and forethought put into crafting the vice president-elect’s cover shoot, but the final product — through Vogue’s traditional editorial process — appeared perfunctory.”

I’ll be honest, when I heard that there was something racist about this, I had to try and find out what it was because there was nothing that looked racist about it to me.

If they were really being racist, then why choose Harris to begin with? They didn’t choose Melania Trump or Ivanka Trump during these last four years. Is that racist as well? Racism happens to other classes besides black people.
