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.

But I digress.)

Ebony responded to their detractors:

Thank you for sharing the tweet (for its sheer awesomeness) and for the story you linked to.
