I think that Ebony (as well as Jet, Essence, etc) have their place. The reader should take them on their face value. However, if a Martian came to earth and all he knew about Black folks was some issues of Ebony, he would receive a greatly distorted view of 'us'.
We are the good, the bad and the ugly. There is no ONE publication or media venue that can communicate the full range of the Black American experience.
