Nike recalls shoe after Colin Kaepernick raises racial concerns

You need to buy some clues.

Slavery existed in the Union allied States until after the Civil War because those slave States remained in the Union. Read American history.

 

Did you word your comment properly? "When slaves looked up the flag poll they saw the stars and bars so should the flag be benned totally and a new one adopted because Colin says so?"

Strictly speaking, the Stars and Stripes flag is far more racist than the Stars and Bars flag.

 

Sorry, you are wrong according to the Anti defamation League who has weighed in with their opinion. They say that this flag is NOT in their data base of hate symbols. Furthermore, they say that it is NOT associated with white supremacy. So there you have it. Nike listened to an one idiot and removed the shoes based on that idiot's erroneous opinion. Then the other idiot Democrats followed suit and agreed because Colin said so. Now Nike and Democrats have egg splattered all over their PC faces. They are ALWAYS wrong...

 

Speaking of racist shoes.

How did Hitler tie his shoelaces?

Spoiler

In little knotzis.

I'll see myself out.

 

Betsy Ross was a Quaker and Quakers were adamantly against slavery. If she thought it meant pro slavery, she probably would have declined the job.

 

You left out Santa

 

If it's racist why was the same flag flown at Obama's inauguration 2012?

 

Nike lost a lot of sales. When are companies going to understand "woke capitalism" is poison?

 

i'm not entirely sure of that.. afterall, only "urban teens" kill each other over a pair of tennis shoes

 

I'm 57 and as white as a picket fence. I buy Nike shoes. And I would have bought a pair of those.

 

Here's more:

 

Kaepernick speaks and his words are accompanied by a video meant to inspire hatred towards white people.

There is no doubt he hates this country.

 

So should it be barred since that is the flag that slaves looked up and saw for almost 100 years including after the Civil War?

 

A typo on my part..........

 

Well even inanimate objects can have racist messaging on them can't they?

 

Shoes with blackface printed on them, or just text that said that black people aren't humans. Those shoes could reasonably be considered racist as could any other object.

 

So why didn't Nike just do what they should've done in the first place? Make the shoes with the ACTUAL US flag? Although I'm not convinced that Kapernick would've been okay with even this!

 

Shoes with black face? What about plain old black shoes? Did you see the shoes with white face?

 

Yeah, as in images of blackface masks. Not the ones that you posted in this thread, as I don't think they are depicting blackface. They are just black shoes with eyes.

 

It just seems Colin Kap is kind of a ******. I'm a liberal, and I think he started this thing with good intentions. I think police brutality is a very real problem for all races in America. The law makes up the rules as they go.

I'm going to post a video and MODs please just take it down if you consider it against the rules. The video shows clear police misconduct and it makes me cry every damned time.

 

Looks justified, to me. Yes, it's sad.

 

All they had to do what ask him to lay on the floor with arms out and cuff him. You are the first person to watch that video and not think it was a horrible judgement by the officer. This even goes for LEOs I know.

 

Apparently, the jury agreed with me.

 

That cop killed a terrified unarmed kid. Jury decision or not, it was a tragedy.
