"Racism, artistic brilliance, or coincidence?"
None of the above three. It's just a cover of Vogue, intended to sell copies of the magazine, with an edgy surface so that the readers can feel comfortably and smugly hip. Leibovitz's recent work has been desperately pedestrian, and this is no exception.

PS I've seen the next frame she took. It's much funnier. Gisele's heel has made contact with LeBron's crotch, and he has knocked the ball off its stand.
Helen, what do you think happened to Annie? Is it age? Is it that she has become settled in to her status position in life? Or has she become an icon that is now seemingly easy to ridicule?
You posted photos that are not only forty years old but also out of context. Why?Remember, photography has done wonders for awakening all of us to the sadness and unjust nature of racism.

she also has to serve what the market demands ... and in many cases demand is declining for interesting artsy stuff. Just give them easy images, ... many of the people running the magazines do not understand fine nuances anymore.
(ok, I know I am not Helen, but still I wanted to comment )
I don't think they were out of context with the comment you quoted. "Done" would denote already or partly accomplished as opposed to "doing" as in a work in progress.
Yes, the photographs are 40ish years old but that in no way diminishes the story being told in the images themselves. Images like the two I posted helped tremendously to raise public awareness. Nothing, including racism, is as ugly when you don't have to see it.
Photographs can be timeless in the story they tell or in how they affect us. Take Joe Rosenthal's image of five marines raising the U.S. flag over Iwo Jima. It's over sixty years old yet still griping in it's ability to tell a story in a single image.
Just my opinion but the more of the 5 Ws (who, what, when, where & why) a photograph can answer the more interesting the photo becomes.
We all have our own take on things.
