Me and Le Reyna have talked about the People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive covers for years. 

We started to notice a pattern. Every year, the magazine nominated a white actor, athlete or

person in the news as the Sexiest Man Alive. Even some white actors were nominated twice.

Since 1985, People Magazine would do these honorary covers to spotlight that person’s

accomplishments.

The first person to grace The Sexiest Man Alive cover was Mel Gibson. And since then it’s

been nonstop white actors. The first Black actor to be called the Most Sexiest Man Alive

was Denzel Washington back in 1996.

It took a long ass time before people started to notice something was wrong here.

When Black Lives Matter started picking up steam, a woman of color started to see something 

wrong. She started a campaign to denounce People Magazine. Shamika Sanders said that it

would be nice to see change at that magazine.

The magazine heard the concerns and feared a Black boycott.

In 2016, the first time ever Dwayne “The Rock “ Johnson became the first person of color

in over 20 years to grace the cover. The former WWE wrestler, actor and media mogul broke

ground after 20 years of mostly white entertainers and athletes gracing that damn cover as

the Most Sexiest Man Alive.

Since 2017 the magazine had placed three other men on the cover.

People Magazine nominated Michael B. Jordan as their Most Sexiest Man Alive.

So it was Idris Elba, John Legend and now the latest Black actor to grace the cover.

People Magazine is starting to do something good for once. The magazine names

the Sexiest Man Alive to Michael B. Jordan.

On Jimmy Kimmel LIve the actor dressed up in a yellow hazmat suit and was being

quizzed by random viewers about who would be under the suit.

“It’s a cool feeling,” Jordan said to People Magazine. “You know, everybody always

made that joke, like, ‘Mike, this is the one thing you’re probably not going to get.’ But it’s a

good club to be a part of.”

The entertainer’s production company Outlier Society Productions was the first to adopt

an inclusion rider, which mandates that filmmakers enlist a diverse cast and crew. Jordan also

made it clear he’s supportive of the plight of African Americans.

Is PEOPLE Magazine getting it right or getting wrong when it comes to the Most Sexiest Man Alive covers?

Yes. They are finally acknowledging that men of color can be the Sexiest Male Alive too. People Magazine is finally moving in the right direction.

No. It's still not enough. Until they add more men of color (i.e. Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indigenous, transgender and disabled) to the cover, People Magazine will continue to be scorned for its Sexiest Man Alive covers.

I don't read People Magazine. I don't care about tabloid stories and it's their right to pick whomever they want to grace the cover.

He has been a vocal voice in the Black Lives Matter movement and encouraging Americans to vote this election year.
