Nike recalls shoe after Colin Kaepernick raises racial concerns

So all companies should pull the American flag off their products and we should never display it again? We need an entirely new flag because Colin Kaepernick says so?

 

Says who? Since when? What about the 13 stripes?

 

We are discussing this flag:

 

so you think the "ok" symbol is a racist symbol? well I disagree.....

 

Do you know how to read or are you just trolling.

I specifically said that the OK symbol isn't racist and isn't being subverted by racist.
I also said that a lefty, just like you, started the hoax because she didn't know that it was the OK symbol. She thought it was the white power symbol.

 

You do know that those who kaspernick represent believe every american flag is a symbol of white supremacy...

 

So adding 37 more stars helps this issue? If we ban everything that reminds us of slavery, what is left?

Good question. Because, unlike the swastika, it represents much more than the negative. The same way we shouldn't allow the KKK to hijack symbols, we should not allow the super sensitive to do it either. I don't think that creating a generation of easily offended people is good for the country. Maybe our next flag will be an image of a therapy dog and a bottle of Xanax.

 

So Betsy Ross is now racist. Stars are racist. I suppose there isn't a thing left in this world that isn't racist somehow. Perhaps I should include out of the world since Stars are now racist. Maybe we should shut down the Sun since its a star for being racist.

 

Go back to the 1780's, two thirds of the world practiced slavery. It was the norm back then. Even Indians had slaves, blacks own slaves. Actually it was blacks selling blacks to the slave traders to start this chain.

 

I’m going to get a 13 star Betsy Ross flag because if this.

 

It’s a beautiful flag. People who react negatively to it need to get themselves checked out. Sit on a couch for a few sessions with a shrink.

 

The circle of stars on the flag looks handsome to me also. Nike may be expressing a different point of view. It's a business decision. California boycotts products and even states by pulling back $.

 

seems you do not know how to read and must just be trolling, either you agree with me or not... seems we agree to me

and a lefty like me did not start the hoax, if you read my comments now and in the past on this, you would also know that

this is why the left and right have a hard time agreeing on anything, even when they agree one side doesn't want to admit they agree

 

Why is that one different, he complained that it had 13 stars that represent those colonies he reprehenses. Well so do the stripe, why can there be 13 stripes but not 13 stars? What makes one racist and not the other?

And why was that flag allowed to fly behind President Obama's inauguration?

 

Colin Kaepernick said so, so that settles it!

 

Why didn't they add 37 more stripes!!! Are stars worse than stripes or something? I'd love to see someone ask Kaepernick asked that but he hides behind his phone and text messages. The report I read was he didn't even talk to anyone at Nike he just texted them and they bowed down.

 

Well, maybe they will come out with this.

 

White supremacists are known to have adopted the Betsy Ross flag.

 

Obama has some questions to answer.

 

After pictures of Nike’s Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July edition were released online, Kaepernick, who “sacrificed everything” by making tens of millions of dollars as a corporate-sponsored activist, complained to company officials that the Betsy Ross flag on the back of a proposed sneaker was an offensive symbol because of its “connection to an era of slavery.”

That’s true, but not in the way that Kaepernick thinks:

 

They'd make em faster, but the workers keep jumping off the roof.

 

So this America hating nutjob is running NIKE now?

 

I would have bought a pair, if they had size 14.

 

And once again the left walks right into it. I posted a pic and asked why was it not racist then. No responses.

And look Obama had TWO of the racist flags up there imagine how inspired all the racist in American must have been knowing he was giving them special attention!!

 

Why did Obama honor a flag of slavery?
