Trina Celebrates Black History Month
Yes, I am dead serious. Ordinarily I would never post something like this, but even I laughed when I saw this cover with Trina on it. The Miami rapper graces the February cover of Smooth Magazine, which just so happens to also be their “Black History” issue. Now I know this is Smooth- a men’s magazine, but couldn’t they have done better than this? Yes Trina is beautiful, but since this is their “Black History” issue, couldn’t they have say, put Barack Obama on the cover? I mean he is featured inside the magazine anyway- so why not get brothas minds off the booty and put it on the ballot instead. Black men now more than ever need to be politically savvy and believe it or not, magazines like Smooth and KING can help bring political awareness to brothas who may ordinarily not pay attention to such things. Booty and bling. Booty and bling. It seems that is all the owners of magazines aimed at Black men want them to think about. I wonder why that is?
