Is The 'Post' Inept, Or Making A Statement About Racial Politics?
Hey Rupert Murdoch, Photoshop CS3 costs only $649. Surely this means the New York Post can stop using Microsoft Paint to make is covers. On the one hand, one wonders if the obstinate refusal to adjust Isiah Thomas' skin tone on Thursday's cover might be a tacit acknowledgment of how social constructions of blackness have been imposed by the white hegemony from Shakespeare's Moor to Mark Twain to the Primitivism of American modernists who linked blackness with ideas of sexual lasciviousness. Our allegiance, on the other hand, lies firmly with Adobe.
If you'd like to spend Black Friday Photoshopping crappy Knicks coach Isiah Thomas' head to a turkey, feel free to send your best attempts to josh@gawker.com and we'll probably publish them.
