Ebony Magazine's four-cover September issue, and Conservative reactions to it.

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.

I love that tweet.

I'm not sure how easy it is to find this magazine on local newsstands. If I come across one, should I get you a copy? (I'm likely to visit a neighborhood on Saturday where it may be easier to find than it is locally.)

*blushes* That's really sweet and generous of you, but it's not necessary. Thank you, though.
