The last time People magazine picked a person of color as their Sexiest Man Alive, Bill Clinton was still president. “ER” was the biggest show on television. The music of Jewel was making mothers everywhere cry in their cars. Jaden and Willow Smith weren’t even born yet.
That was 1996, when People chose Denzel Washington to headline its yearly list of the hottest celebrities. Mel Gibson was People’s first honoree back in 1985, and in the years following, a lot of other white faces graced the cover of People—Tom Cruise, Harry Hamlin, Patrick Swayze, Sean Connery, and Brad Pitt (who has been picked twice). Choosing Washington was groundbreaking but somewhat expected: The symmetrically-gifted actor had just come off a breakout year in 1995, starring in “Virtuosity,” “Crimson Tide” and “Devil in a Blue Dress,” with starring roles in “The Preacher’s Wife” and “Courage Under Fire” the following year.
David Beckham is the latest in a nearly-unbroken 30 year streak of ignoring a significant portion of sexy celebs
MORRIS CHESTNUT - just sayin’.
Morris is a God. I love Beckham as much as the next person but there are so many good looking minority actors and athletes worthy of the honor that were probably overlooked.

Please continue. For science.
Would someone please do a photoshoot with Idris Elba and Morris Chestnut? Because that would be fantastic.
wtf is this shit… y'all gonna ruin me
Idris.
Y’all just had to bring up Morris Chestnut…
…who is having a Renaissance with Rosewood. I swear, he looks 15 years younger on that show!
Also, all of the above.
But choosing Idris cause he has that “"hurts soooo good!” look about him. Mmmmmph!!
I have unclean thoughts about idris. That is all.
Idris and Morris need to duke it out. In front of me. Topless. :)
Morris is gorgeous in Rosewood, I agree.
Sendhil Ramamurthy anyone?
Sendhil Ramamurthy is the only reason I ever watched “Covert Affairs”.
can I add in Billy Brown, he is sexy as hell on How to get away with murder, and loved him on Sons of Anarchy, plus his voice just makes me melt
I’m adding Jason Momoa
Ooh, good, I was going to mention Jason. And yes, Sendhil just takes my breath away.
How about Oded Fehr?
are we living in some alternate universe where shemar moore doesn’t exist?
are just not supposed to find dwayne johnson sexy?
GODFREY GAO THO????????
Reblogging because the point of the post is important, and because the men are so beautiful. You’re welcome. :)
Sung Kang because well…look at him. You understand.
Aldis Hodge…you know why
Lance Gross…
I’ve had unclean thoughts about Morris since H.S., that man stands the test of time for sure.
They keep picking these white dudes, that to be honest are actually pretty basic, over men much sexier than they are. It’s ridiculous.
Adding for science!
Trai Byers anyone?
Elliott Knight?
Broderick Hunter?
Sinqua Walls? I mean…come one. Also ZAYN!
Men of colour just defy the laws of being fine 😩😩😩😩 god damn I want everyone of them
This post almost killed me. @ctron164 @simplyjazzie21 @trininadz
Yummy selection of POC men. Facts being ignored, 95% of peoples audience is white of which 78% is Caucasian female, hence the choices made each year. Until people is more reflective of diversity in their subscriptions, this will continue.

Also, I am very happy to see a variety of moc pics included in this post.
Nice!!!
