Was Vibe Mag Being Racist Against Robin Thicke?

I think myself, along with a lot of other people are hoping that this isn't true, but what does Robin Thicke have to gain by lying about something such as this? Robin Thicke claims that he did an interview for Vibe and asked if he could get the cover. Their answer? Read below to find out.

“When I did a recent interview with Vibe magazine I asked, “Why can’t I get the cover? This is a magazine I love. If there’s one magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe.” Their response was they don’t have white artists on the cover; that the only white artist they’ve had on the cover was Eminem. I guess if that’s what it is, it is what it is. And I respect that because I live in a house with a black woman.

I won’t use the word “racism.” I will say it’s a tough — but rewarding —fight. I look at Mary J. Blige, somebody who has had only a few pop hits and yet has changed culture, generated new sounds and inspired leagues of artists. She’s now a worldwide phenomenon. And it’s because of what she stood for; she never gave up. She kept making great music, pouring her heart out to people.

You can’t always expect people to be as color-blind or open-minded as you want. What you can do is keep giving your heart and soul, like Bob Marley did. His music became so overwhelmingly loving; it was a relentless love in a sense. Keep beating them down with love and they can’t stop you.”

Damn Vibe! Soooooo does Eminem not count as being white? I mean geesh. Robin is married to a black woman. But I guess that's still no consolation huh?
