Three Strikes on the Three Stripes

From Yahoo News:

“Homage to the Harlem Renaissance”

The company pulled the launch of the sneaker, but many were left wondering what on earth Adidas was thinking in the first place. In a statement provided to Yahoo Finance, the company said that it intended the collection, which is made up of several different sneakers and sports attire, to reflect the creativity and grandeur of the Harlem Renaissance of the early 1900s, including “footwear silhouettes which echo the colors of the jazz ballrooms so important to the era. Each detail is meant to be an homage to the art, poetry, sounds and sport of the Renaissance.”

All the shit that could be better in this world, and people get offended by the color of a fucking sneaker and rise en masse about that.

Just proves again that the stupid is strong with this species .

For clarity , it sounxed better than race as in human race . As if an alien were giving commentary at the lack of perceived intelligence in humans . And I explainex that now before my friend Veer asks me of my intent . ? All good in da Philly hood .

Doesn't matter what color they pick, would have gotten slammed with any choice.

"Can't believe Adidas chose a black shoe to honor black history month. Do they think black people are only good for stepping on?"

"Can't believe Adidas chose a red shoe to honor black history month. Did they forget that slaves used to get whipped until they were bleeding? How dare they step on the tragedy that once took place."

"Can't believe Adidas chose a blue shoe to honor black history month. They should have chosen black."

We need to abolish Twitter.

Oh so we cant do anything but racist things on race history month now?

 

[Sean the Nailer]

I wonder if there are any "Wingtips" or "Loafers" companies bringing out an actual leather, quality show to commemmorate "Black Month"?

Probably not much sales expected, eh?

[hlee]

Fuckin' clouds be racist as shit. They either white, or "dark and menacing." WTF wit dat?

 

[AIAW]

Best self-therapy I have found is that I can't be racist if I simply hate everyone equally!

But no, I'm not that misanthropic - yet.

Whats Twitter? ?

I know what it is. A platform for a solid President to troll all the fools are arent in touch with reality.

 

[Cheyenne Bodie]

You do realise that "Twitter" and "Reality" are mutually exclusive, right?

 

[powdahound76]

Ha!!!

Not really. I pay zero attention to any of that stuff. I just know from reading the news that Trump uses it to aggravate the leftists. So in part I kind of like Twitter.

Adidas thought people actually think "history" can be other things like the Harlem Renneciance. Black history month is a time to remember when high unemployment first began. It is a time to forget that for a long time now the highest cause of death for young black men is black-on-black homicide. And it will happen. Some poor suburban black is going to get on the L and a group of snowflakes are going to stomp his ass. Thus, saving the inner city brothers the time and effort.

Also, this would be perfect timing for Sears to come out with the Chiffarobe for Black History month. The limited edition Mayella Ewell and Tom Robinson line.
