“Myra never went to a game till we bought the team,” Kraft recalled earlier this month, his replica gucci eyes twinkling at the recollection. “She used to go to the artsy movies I would never go to, or do The New York Times crossword puzzle.

All of that changed in 1994, when the Kraft family purchased a flailing franchise and created a standard gucci outlet of excellence that reshaped the Patriots into one of professional football’s model organizations. Though presiding over the Pats was Robert’s domain, he consulted with Myra, whom he married a year before she graduated from Brandeis University in gucci online 1964, on all major decisions.

Hey Ms. Fro....see below, and check out Julia's brief explanation in comments section: http://bit.ly/8NAsyr

By: Debbie Stier

Debbie Stier — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:27:32 +0000

Hi Shelly and Ms. Fro — I was going to type up what I think (as if anyone cares, at this point ) — but then I just decided to copy and paste from my comment on the nytimes.com about the story….so here you go:
To me, the issue is not with the photo, but what the cover of the magazine represents — which is that literature must be segregated by race. An issue devoted to “Afro Picks!” implies to me, a white Jewish woman, that these books are not for me……I don't belong to this group…..when in fact,the truth of the matter is that I'm just as apt to like a book about an African American woman as I am an Indian man or a Jewish child. I don't want my books segregated by race. I'd be more comfortable if they devoted an issue to romance — and then included all romance authors of every color (no need to even mention to me), or a self-help issue and just threw in all the authors of note, etc.

On the flip side, if I were a writer, I wouldn't want to find myself in any White Picks! issue either.

ALSO, — Julia posted a comment there too…in which explains briefly what she meant, so you may want to check in there for more info: http://bit.ly/8NAsyr

I love how even AFTER knowing the story behind where the image came from (a book being featured), who picked it, and why, commenters are still desperately trying to feel offended.

Brushing off a perfectly reasonable explanation with, "I'm sure that's true, but ... I'm still offended!" is laughable.

Are we *ever* going to be able to see each other as equals and enjoy many generes of art (photos, illustration, books) if we insist on being so uptight and wounded about everything? The "this depicts an aspect of a much larger black culture -- I feel funny. Um, I must be offended!" attitude is weird. Especially when there are so many ACTUAL things to be offended about.

I also find it interesting that the Af-Am commenters seem to be a lot more reasoned with their reactions than the white commenters. Holy knee-jerk reaction, Batman.

By: Shelly

Shelly — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:40:50 +0000

Offensive in what way? The fists on the picks? The implication that the woman is wearing only the picks? I'm not offended but I have a positive cultural frame of reference associated with the image.

By: Ms. Fro

Ms. Fro — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:57:29 +0000

I would like to ask Julia if she could articulate what it is that she finds 'offensive' about this photo.

It seems like half the people who are offended by PW's cover are offended that PW would acknowledge African American authors as a category. While it would be wrong to ghettoize any minority group, acknowledging that a minority group exists and giving minority authors attention seems like a good thing. To not do so would to be like Stephen Colbert's character who claims to not be able to see race, even as he sanctimoniously spouts racist things.

As far as the image goes: don't confuse taste with truth. I, for one, think the image rocks both politically and formally.

So what is the world afraid of? Why does at every turn black hair and the instruments used to create its style and beauty become disturbing? Is this a generational thing? Is it a white thing? White fear? Black shame? What is it The image selected from one of the season's most handsome books is not out of context. A larger issue here is the perhaps the lack of knowledge of the artistry created by artists of African descent. PW's choice for the cover was a bold one. This African-American woman applauds Calvin Reid for the selection of Lauren Kelly's image.

Looks fine. Double entendre is a little obvious, but . . . well, there are a lot more serious issues out there. It's not insulting. It's not racist. Nor is it brilliant. The only thing that flabbergasts me is the outrage that this coverage is eliciting from the reporter and many of those whose comments I've read here.

African American is not a genre – it is a culture. African American authors write chick lit, urban romance, literary fiction, commercial fiction, mystery, science fiction, non-fiction, etc. Include AA authors in a review of a genre not segregate them by color or culture. To do otherwise is segregation.

Actually, yes. There is White American publishing: e.g. chick lit. African American publishing e.g. urban romance.

Publishing, like magazines and cable television, relies on niches. That's been true for decades.

maybe someone should have played india.arie's 'i am not my hair' for the editorial decisionmakers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7rSv5NvAK8

the hysteria seems to be that african american representation in publishing is so ghettoized that anytime there is a spotlight that is culturally wobbly, it makes people want to scream because it seems to be so one-shot.
maybe if that underlying problem was acknowledged and addressed in a meaningful way, there might be less freakouts over a comb.

Thanks for the correction Ruth. I just fixed. The pun aside…. what about the issue of segregating literature like that? The entire industry has this knee jerk “put everything in a box” mentality that DRIVES ME CRAZY. My hackles go up every time I hear it suggested we pub this or that book in Black History month so we can get on the Af Am tables. I want to run to the other side of the calendar as fast as I can. If I were a writer, I think I would have a problem with an industry that wanted to put me into the Jewish Women's table a the bookstore.

yes Its all my fault. I certainly regret offending anyone. However, why is a sweet and iconic image of an Afro constructed out of afro picks disparaging and pejorative? I love this image and while clearly I guess I should have forseen a possible controversy, I just didn't. Afro picks and afros are a part of my life (pictures will surface of me with one sticking out of massive afro, you watch) and they invoke the 1970s, one of the mostly cheerfully lampooned periods of black representations and Afro Americana in recent memory. Sorry if I offended, but Afro picks rock.

Well, now we understand. They were just being lazy, too lazy to make a cover for the magazine. As others have noted, it's unfortunate that the pic is out of context from the cover of its book. Also, why choose this ONE cover to represent African American authors?! No single cover can represent all of our work. From the supernatural to sci-fi to historical to contemporary–our work is just as diverse as our peers. This cover choice is lazy and lame.

By: Knownhuman

Knownhuman — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:06:12 +0000

While I'm sure that's all true, pairing it with that double entendre? At most it's 'one chuckle clever,' and certainly far more likely to illicit groans.

Where things really seem to go wrong is that the reader or viewer has no frame of reference, specifically the one presented in your comment. There had to have been a better way to present that image.

@anotherstatistic it was. calvin reid, the senior editor, is a black man. mr. reid is tweeting about the image choice now–@publisherswkly

i really don't even see the relevance in it–it's marginal (haha) at best. the image, out of context, is problematic. while it may be appropriate for a book on historical african american images for deborah willis' book, it's a problematic characterization of contemporary writing by african americans.

Per Calvin Reid at Publishers Weekly (who edited the feature and, with the creative director, chose the cover image and tagline): “The image is from the book 'Posing Beauty: African American Images from the 1890s to the Present' by Deborah Willis (Norton). The image is called Pickin’ by photographer Lauren Kelly. Ms. Willis is chair of the photo dept. at NYU, a MacArthur Fellow & a scholar of black photography and representation.”

I read an editorial once by a black author who hated the fact that he was always listed as a black author. His books were only shelved in the AFAM sections. He felt this led to his books not having the chance to be widely accepted in the marketplace. It's a shame that segregation takes place in the publishing/bookselling industry.

First, it is simply aesthetically offensive. I don't what art director worth their weight approve something so ugly. All those Afro picks is overkill. Secondly, it makes no sense as far as marketing the issue. It would make more sense to show a collage of popular Afr-Am book covers or authors. Third, it could be considered racist only because the image is anachronistic and irrelevant.
