Nike pulls ‘Betsy Ross flag ’ sneakers after Colin Kaepernick objects
 

What in the fuck???

These people are enemies of the United States.

PC gone off thier rocker again...:2 cents:

I'm so ashamed of the actions of these retailers. No one has the balls to just tell people to fuck off. The vast majority of people would respect companies who would say we are here to make money--either buy them or don't.

American flag / constitution / founding fathers will be erased in about 50 years.

And you're right, we need to tell these people to fuck off. By bending to them you give them power.

^roll with it or get rolled over

...2040's is coming whether you like it or not. And theres new rules around here... like not celebrating slave era symbols.

Nike is slavery.

So your point is, kap should shut up about celebrating American slavery symbolism in this tard era because china sweat shops?

And Nike using China sweat shops is bad, but trump using them is maga?

What's your point here?

Alt right snowflakes have a problem how a company chooses to do business

They only support freedom of speech if its racist. Anything else scares them.

My point is Nike is a bullshit , fucked up company and has been for a long time. Anyone that buys their shit is a fucking sucker supporting slave labor. Paying an asshole like CK millions of dollars to whine is just icing on their exploitation cake.

What does this have to do with free speech? Nike is free to do whatever they want in regards to their products. I don't think anyone is questioning that.

I agree. However I care about America first. Fuck china.

Kaepernick making them recall that betsy shoe is a win... according to you too, you just dont want to admit it because of his melanin... tho you proved you're against slavery too.

They're going to have their PR dept. working overtime trying to spin this one into a win. This is bad publicity. If the PR team can at least mitigate the damage, they're going to get big bonuses.

His melanin? :1orglaugh He's practically white. He reminds me of 90% of the guys I knew when I did business with NOI, mixed race dudes trying to prove how black they were by pretending to be a lot more angry at whitey than they really were.

I agree about the noi.

That's why X converted to real Islam when he did hajj. He saw all colors together and had an awakening. Then the noi killed him for not being a "black racist" anymore. All cointelpro shit. Russian Facebook ads type shit.

You ever read his autobiography?

10 posts in one hour by 4 alt-right hate fake nics in this thread.

The resident GFY alt-right hate fake nic troll is triggered by free speech and also the person hood of corporations that his conservative justices erroneously ruled to be constitutional.

Blocked alt-right hate fake nic troll reply in 3.. 2.. 1...

Go take your meds.

No, I never read his autobiography. I think I saw the movie way back when. I'm not shit talking NOI, they're upfront and I like that. Most of the members I have interacted with were pretty cool once you got them calmed down. :1orglaugh

one of my all time favorite quotes is from that book:

"I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole"

so good

Humanity is much more complex than that . . .

op you say some stupid shit! opinions and activism. it was in the slavery era. would you be mad if it had sandy hook flag with guns crossed?

i cunt a4d any shoes... :(

fuck white women :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

news flash asshole: you was never a slave :2 cents:

humanity is the greatest natural resource on this planet. we are all exactly the same, made of the sane substance for the same reason. the only difference between us is what we say to and about each other. :2 cents:

That's rich coming from you, the black guy who said Gay people coming out is them "flaunting their sexuality" and you don't want to see it.

Yet a black guy flaunting his blackness is totally fine with you. then again you are a black racist who continually talks about getting revenge on whites in 2040 :321GFY

He never said he was a slave.

Don't post when you're high dude you really embarrass yourself I know you're used to it at this point online and in real life but there's a time in life when even people who love you will give up on a lost cause so get your shit together man :2 cents:

Az pulled funds to nike! :thumbsup:thumbsup the subject is a tender matter. not long ago in jasper texas a man was killed for being black. chained to a truck and destroyed. 2 of the killers have been put to death... one more on the table.

in the context of the book (read it if you haven't, it's amazing) his statement is a wicked foundation for participating in the world

at every turn X used his observations and understanding of people and the systems we create (through both lived experience and books, dude was a compulsive reader) to shape his ideas, rather than try to warp his observations/experiences to fit an ideology

moving to New York profoundly changed him, Islam as in Nation of profoundly changed him and then, as DE wrote above, he changed again after his experience of the Hajj

he never let a pre-existing world view get in the way of his learning, never got stuck in ideologies or 'sides' in his quest for truth. by the time he was murdered he had developed understandings that went far deeper than alliances or slogans. truth, justice and respect for humanity as guiding principles in navigating the world

that's how I interpret his words anyway

but yeah, such a good book. in my little informal living room library it's the second most popular text I lend out. people bring it back and then hang out to talk about it, it's a really powerful read

Kaepernick is a cunt.

And Nike are a bunch of cunts...

well he will never hear you like a tree falling in a forest. :) you sound like a fucking tool man. i know you hate the way he is not the violent ape idea you have in your head. :2 cents::2 cents:

USA going brown = confirmed...

countdown to 2040 :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I actually agree with this

Betsy Ross flag flying high at Obama's inauguration. Nike and Kaepernick OWNED!

we are in 2019... that weed slowed you down.

I'm getting old and behind the times. When exactly did it become a horrible symbol of racism and oppression?
