    In the essay “Some Don’t Like Their Blues at All”, Karyn Lewis gives a powerful, somewhat argumentative, view on her reaction to a clothing advertisement for Fila Jeans. She opens the article with a precise description of a young, black, muscular male purposely posed in front of a dominating scene from a football game, sprawled across a full page in a magazine.
