Sex sells. So it stands to reason that a magazine with Reggie Bush and his bared chest and washboard abs on its cover would be quite popular indeed. Right? Maybe -- unless the magazine is Essence, and the issue in question is its February "Black Men, Love & Relationships Issue." While the magazine's loyal readers have found little fault with the sexy photo of the running back for the New Orleans Saints, many are (angrily) questioning why editors chose to put Bush, who dates the decidedly not black Kim Kardashian, on the cover of the love and relationships issue of a magazine dedicated to black women.

Should the opponents of the magazine cover lighten up and enjoy the pictures, or does Bush have no place on the cover of Essence's love and relationships issue? Let us know below.

Reggie probably won't stay with Kim Kardashian very long - she is misguided in thinking that he will be faithful to her

Dee I agree with you whole heartedly. Who cares what race of girl he is with? Every relationship encounters the same problems whether it is two black people, two white people, mixed race or gay couple. Alot of our problems are the same. I think it is so disgusting for people to attack him because he chose not to date a black woman. I am a latin woman who subscribes to latina magazine and I don't get offended when there are latinas in there with their white, black, or asian significant other. Just because some people are too close minded to date outside of thier race doesn't give them the right to slam everyone else who chooses to do so. Love is color blind. BTW, I have dated many latinos and in the end the guy who I married is white and I have never been happier with anyone else in my whole life.

I agree with Dee. This is a non-issue. The article is about Black Men, Love and Relationships and not about Black Men in love and relationships with black women. His ideas about love and what is important to him regarding relationships is still relevant. Stop being so sensitive!

This magazine focus on black women issues.
Why put a black man on the cover that is involve with a women of another race?

Oh by the way, I donot have anything aganist dating outside your race, but this is in poor taste!
