ESPN Takes Flak for Photoshopped Image of Michael Vick as a White ...

ESPN came under criticism yesterday (August 25th) for creating and publishing a Photoshopped image of NFL quarterback Michael Vick as a white man to go along with a commentary column in ESPN The Magazine by cultural critic Toure called, ?What if Michael Vick were white?? Toure writes about how being black has shaped both the positive and negative aspects of Vick?s life, discussing how race has some bearing on who a person becomes, just as other factors like upbringing, class and parenting do. He dismisses the ?What if Vick were white? question by saying that changing his race would so fundamentally change him that he?d be unknowable. Responding to the backlash over the white Vick image, Toure wrote on Twitter that he wasn?t consulted about it, and that he also asked the editors not to use the ?What if Michael Vick were white?? title. He tweeted, ?Judge me on the story, not the art.?
