Sandy GholstonOne of my favorite Web sites, Racialicious, has a recent blog entry that caught my eye. The blog has to do with a photo shoot that involves super model Gisele Bundchen (she was involved in the controversial racial photo shoot with NBA superstar LeBron James, but that is another story). The photo attempts to contrast light and dark colors with Gisele as the light and the brothas as the dark. Even more than the photos, which are nicely done in my opinion, I was highly interested in the rather intense debate that ensued on the page with many people weighing in and seeing things differently (from racial perspectives and from non-racial perspectives).

This is just one of the many photos that has people talking on the Racialicious Web site. As you might expect, interpretations are all over the place.
