PEOPLE, a publication that caters to a majority white audience, occasionally showcases Black men as “Sexiest Man Alive.” But one Black publication still isn’t happy.
Actor Michael B. Jordan was named PEOPLE magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2020. In fact, PEOPLE‘s ‘Sexiest Man’ was a Black man for three years in a row.
But Hello Beautiful and others are disappointed that PEOPLE didn’t name another Black star as Sexiest Man Alive for the fourth year in a row.
That honor went to Paul Rudd, a white actor.
Urban blogs like Sandrarose.com regularly feature hawt Black men in Morning Wood or “Hot or Not” posts every week.
But Black Americans prefer to receive approval from other races.
