What Bryant Gumbel said rings very true, but I think rather, I know the reason I did not like the statement was because it was coming from him. I feel that Mr. Gumbel is very out of touch with the black community as it seem he always try to be demeaning or has an air about like he is better than you. I feel that if someone was going to criticize Ebony, let it be someone who really identifies with the black community and IMHO he does not. I think that Ebony and Jet is just filler right now but I do read them regularly because it has been a constant in my life. I think if they somehow got fresh reporters and revamped both magazines, they may achieve again what they once had.
