A woman who served as a national spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and worked for Barack Obama in both the White House and on his re-election campaign ripped Esquire magazine for titling a story about a white male heterosexual high school student, “An American Boy.”
Zara Rahim, currently overseeing communications for “The Wing” and former communications director for Vogue magazine before she was laid off, took issue with Esquire for the piece, which was subtitled, “Ryan Morgan, a high school senior in Wisconsin, at home: ‘I know what I can’t do, I just don’t know what I can do.'” Rahim railed, “Imagine this same ‘American Boy’ headline with someone who looked like Trayvon talking about what it’s like to have your mother sit you down to tell you how to stay alive in your own city during Black History Month. Just imagine. Shame on you, @esquire.”
