This is honestly entertaining, and a note to myself to buy a copy of Ebony this September.

Ebony Magazine's September issue will have four assorted covers honoring Trayvon Martin and addressing the national debate sparked by his death and his killer's exoneration. Conservatives are displeased (see links here and here, as I'm not linking to them. See also "Don't White People Kill Each Other, Too?" for an answer to the most commonly cited reason given for why we shouldn't care about the open season that has been declared on Black youth. But I digress.)

Ebony responded to their detractors:

As various news outlets have humorlessly rushed to inform us, there is no actual boycott (yet), though the comment from the Breitbart article is a good example of what we're up against.

At any rate, when next I have a little spending money I shall buy a copy of Ebony.
