ROBIN THICKE: VIBE MAGAZINE WON'T PUT ME ON THE COVER BECAUSE I'M WHITE!!!


 







August 30, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com just learned that R&B singer Robin Thicke is making some strong accusations against Vibe Magazine. In a recent interview with Billboard Magazine, Thicke claims that Vibe told him that they wouldn’t put a “White artist” on the cover of their magazine.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
Interviewer: What is it like trying to break the color line from the other side?

Robin Thicke:
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 … You can’t always expect people to be as color-blind or open-minded as you want.

We’re no sure whether Robin is being truthful or whether he’s just talking ish. But if he’s telling the truth, Vibe’s in some pretty big ish…

    No, it's just that alot of people find him lame still. Only the real ones like him, the ones that like soul, r&B and the trendy type of music he plays. He'll get taken more seriously soon, just not today.

    That's a shame. I love Robin Thicke. Vibe did the same thing to Christina Aguilera when they were going to give her the Vibe cover, but later bumped her off for Bobby Brown. In my opinion music should not have a color line.

    Boo hoo. White people crying racism now? But if they put that wack ass eminem on the cover why not him? At least his music is decent.

    @SEXY41 You sound real stupid. If ANYONE is discriminated against they have a right to speak on it! Just because racism towards blacks is more publicized doesn't mean that discrimination towards whites doesn't not go on also. Don't be mad because he's speaking out on it! He has every right and that ish is wrong!!!

    I guess Vibe can argue too that they need someone who can sell covers. But Bobby Brown? Plus Vibe is a hip hop magazine, which may get better sales when they have rappers and hip hop producers on their front cover. But then, is Vibe even relevant now?

    It's not fair either way, but the bottom line is magazine sales. If white magazines like Cosmopolitan think their sales will suffer with a Black model on the cover, they simply won't put one on there. Beverly Johnson, Iman, Naomi Campbell, and Tyra Banks finally got covers, but only once in a blue moon, not nearly the same as their white counterparts. Same thing for Vibe, if they think people won't buy because Robin Thicke is white, or not popular enough, or whatever, hes's out. I think Eminem got there because he was a commodity; he had the #1 album and movie, plus he was contraversial. All of that adds up to $$$.

    Ok well I agree with Robin Thicke, he should be able to bless the cover of a black mag, why shouldn't he be, he's singin to black women!!! Listen to his voice...he's got more soul than Lenny Kravitz and he's been on the cover so why shouldn't Robin?!? F*ck Vibe, no one even reads that sh!t anymore anyway, dream bigger Robin, go for S2S or Blender.

    VIBE celebrates blackness. They don't hide that. True, Robyn's music is more in line with black culture but that does not make him black. It's sort of hurtful that he thinks he should even get the cover since he sings soul. No no

    He is singing to us and making music for us. He grew up with parents that made television theme songs for us-Alan Thicke and Gloria Loring. He chose this type of music because this is what he loves. I won't buy VIBE until I see Robin on the cover.

    music has no color. vibe is wrong for that.
     

    LauriMeansLove
    I mean, straight up.....to be honest with you...Robin Thicke is a good artist and all.

    BUT...

    There are just some things that BLACKS AND BLACK people have created for them/ourselves. I personally don't even think EMINEM DESERVED to be on the cover at any point in time either. but hey, that's vibe.

    Now what I DON'T understand is why VIBE would contradict themselves by throwing the bone to one white man and not the other. And I hope it's not just because EMINEM "RAPPED," cuz...
    well....
    that's just a different story.

    Sure there is alot of color barriers and stuff the people of the world need to work on. But you alson have to look at it like this to.

    When was the last time you saw a black person on the cover of PEOPLE? What about the cover of RED BOOK??
    Or even your everyday random catalouges where they dress up white folks to look good????

    Black people were/are excluded from alot of the better things in life. We can't even be represented sometimes with a "good image." So I say all is right by there JUST BEING something for black people. I mean, call me ignorant and wrong, but I don't care. When do we shine?

    PS....

    I know alot of people on here will try and say random things aboout my post. If you do, good for you. If you don't, good for you too. I'm not here to combat with anyone. I'm just simply stating my opinion and what I feel are some liable rights for black people.

    Finally, a white man gets an idea of what it's like to be black. Blacks have been barred from mag covers for decades, and for many pubs still are...How long did it take for a black swimsuit model to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated?

    Besides, that's a copout. If I remember correctly Eminem was on the cover of VIBE when he was hot. Gimme a break!

    vibe magazine is racist. imagine if teen magazine or whatever, refused a black artist on their cover what the reaction would be.

    if vogue italia can devote a one month issue to blacks, why cant vibe have a white person on the cover?

    it is racism. because if it was the other way around, people would be screaming racism.

    his wife is black? i thought she was latina or something. always learn something new on this site.

    i don't think Robin Thicke is big enough to be on the Vibe cover yet. He only had one smash single. Although all his CDs were AWESOME. Maybe he needs a few more hits, or be big as Eminem in order to get a cover. Hell, black folk gotta make big and make the white folk happy to be on the cover of any of the "mainstream" *cough* white a$$ *cough* magazines!

    Work harder, Robin! You'll get it.
      ---------------
    Hello, It‘s me.

    Dreayonn
    How do we know if Robin is the only artists that's been denied?! Just because he's white doesn't mean that's the reason why he didn't make the cover. Until we hear why Vibe denied him, then we can't say race is the reason behind this. I could see EM makin' the cover since he's sold millions of records, has hits and been fully embraced by the black community!!!
     

    Dreayonn
    Exactly TooUgly4TV! A black person has to appeal to both black and white to be featured on their magazines. White magazines will deny both black and white if their not an 'A' list entertainer. What's the difference here!!!
     

    JeanGrey
    Not a fan of Paulas mom jeans in that picture

    And.....I was disappointed to see Eminem on the cover...I would think Robin Thicke would be more qualified than that clown! at least he shows some dedication to black culture.

    Should white people be on th cover of essence? You have to look at the intent and "mission" of the magazine.

    people still buy vibe? hmmmm
      ---------------
    The Day of the Geechie is Over

    linlin27
    it's probably true, just like all other magazines you try to appeal to a certain audience. I don't think they'd put Robin Thicke on the cover like they wouldn't put someone like Raheem Devaughn on the cover. Sure they make great soulful music but no one listens to that anymore, that's not the music that gets the top spot on Bill Board Hot 100. And plus him being white could be very true...we know who Emenim is easy but not everyone knows who Robin Thicke is.
     

    Corrina
    There is racism everywhere...blacks hatin whites..whites hatin blacks, hispanics hatin blacks, blacks hatin hispanics, whites hatin hispanics etc...the list goes on, but to say you are a black person "hating" racism but yet don't think another race should be part of a certain "group" mag or whatever it may be.... just signifies your hypocracy...because that makes YOU racist yourself!
     

    sierra714
    WELL JOIN THE CLUB!!! LOL. there were and still are plenty of people who havent made covers b/c of skin color,or ethnic background. some people are saying that people should be colorblind, and thats all good and all, but in the REAL WORLD RACISM is still alive and kickin and i think that alot of people turn a blind eye to that, so when they do get discriminated against they all surprised and wondering why. its because in alot of cases, racism still lives some folks gotta step outside there little fantasy.

    To say they dont put YT folks on the cover was unprofessional and racist. I would like proof that they actually said that.

    What they should have said was we dont want YOU (Robin Thicke) on our cover. They do have the right to select who they feature on their magazine cover.

    in some way i kinda believe him, but in some way i think is kinda of more about the green.considering everything, can robin thicke sell there magazines.no one buys magazines no more and vibe is loosing money,trust me, can't tell you how i know but its pretty cheap company.i gotta say though they got alot of cute woman writer there though.

    black racist? it true. but not vibe. i guess they thought that was the nice answer. the real answer is they didnt think he'd sell.id actually would like to see a white man stay in it for the long run.

    That's hella stupid. If you don't put white artist on the cover you wouldn't have put Eminem. He's white. Both of these music cater to the same audience, the black audience. Vibe ain't making so sense on this one....that's why i don't subscribe.

    sorry robin. but being black is deeper than just singing our music. it's a genetic connection to the egyptians and the ethiopians. it's in the genetics.

    WHAT? NOW THAT AINT FAIR!
    HE DESERVES TO BE ON THAT COVER, HE'S A GOOD ARTIST. NOW WE ALWAYS COMPLIN HOW WE GUTTA BREAK ICE WITH THE WHITE FOLKS, I DON'T WANT US TO BE LIKE THEM...WE SHOULD BE FAIR...CAUSE THATS WHAT SERPERATES US FROM THEM.

    You dont deserve the cover Robin Thicke thats why. I dont know why they had Eminems racist ass on the cover either. He made a song bashing Black women. I dont give a sh!t if it was 10 years ago, his ass is still a racist.

    Here we go trying to cease racism and you have a Black Person still conceiving it what is the problem but we get upset when a White Magazine doesn't allow us to be on the cover. This doesn't make any sense at all. It takes One to make a change and then all will follow after. Be a Leader not a follower.

    You guys are saying his wife is this drop dead beautiful chick....where at? I mean, she isn't bad looking, but she isn't all that you guys are making her out to be. PLZ!!

    As far as Robin talking about he lives in a house with a black woman, damn if he didn't find the lightest one he would find. You can barely tell that she's black. Get the fugg out of here with that mess.

    Love your music though, Robin.

    I don't believe that is true. I think VIBE just doesn't want him on the cover because he isn't super big yet. Why does everything gotta be about race people?

    what no one realizes is

    there are more minorities in the world then whites...

    so in reality there the minorities...

    white people get discriminated against more....

    because we assume their discriminatory...

    so racism goes equally around evenly...

    claiming the reason he couldn't get on the cover b/c he's white is lame(does he know who owns Vibe Quincy Jones & all his kids have white in them) & then for him to say he is a big fan of magazine is a lie-if he was such a big fan he would know that there has been more than just Eminem on the cover:JT,Gwen Stefani ,Robert Deniro have all been on there.When you have more than one hit then maybe they'll put you on dumbass

    That's really unfortunate because I really like Robin Thicke since his first CD in 2002.
    But the reality is-Vibe IS a black magazine geared towards the urban/rap audience moreso than urban r&b/pop (hence why Eminem made the cover).
    Furthermore, though Eminem is white, he is a rapper and a force to be reckoned with-and Vibe couldn't deny him that-but r&b-I guess they can (and did).

    Yeah that‘s right... AND WHAT???

    The only thing I can say to Robin is why was it not so important for you to use a Black Woman in your "Lost without You" video. If you are married to a Black Women then your video should reflect that, just like you want your picture on Vibe magazine cover to reflect your love of your artform; Black music.

    I just thought that was very ignorant. And if that was a black person asking to be on the cover of Vogue, Rolling Stones, or any other white magazine and was turned down because of their skin color, there would be a boycott right now. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the entire P.U.S.H coalition would be calling them out. I just don't think that was right. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VIBE MAGAZINE AGAIN!!!
     

    vness_12
    wow, i hope that isn't true for real. It's one thing for magazines to practice stupid things like tat and it's another to just flat out say " wll we don't give the cover to white/black people". I always understood VIBE to be a magazine about urban and hip hop culture...not BLACK PEOPLE LoL. Last time I checked lots of people are involved and appreciate hip hop and the urban vibe so no reason to hate on Robin. He's doing his thing...very talented and do not see him as a one hit wonder. everyone needs to open their eyes....LET'S SHARE CHILDREN!!!
     

    Brew62
    He did not make the cover because he's mediocre. Yeah he had a couple of joints but he's not that dude that he thinks he is. VIBE had Eminem, Robert Downey and my favorite half breed Mr.Obma.
    He's talented but he's slowly turning into another Kanye, tooting there own horn bitching and whining. Welcome to the life of a black person bitch ass. I can't stand spoiled white folks..Go tell Dad.
