Listen people collect all kind of things So who are we to judge.

update on my review for these sneakers.

not only do they improve my vertical jump, they also make me run faster. I was able to shave 1.3 seconds off my 100 meter sprint time.


10/10 Sneakers, I'm already in the queue to purchase 8 more pairs.

so you're saying black people have no agency?

No u:

"This is connecting with Black America because they love sneakers. This is a big deal - certainly in the inner city. So, when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like, 'wait a minute, this is cool.' He's reaching them at a level that defies and is above politics. The culture always trump's politics. Trump understands culture like no politician I've ever seen." - Raymond Arroyo, Faux News

Republican strategy to connect with black voters: "Show them overpriced shiny shoes!!"

Yes, the common theme is people sponsored by the donor class seeing the working class and minorities as being beneath them, sources of entertainmen, and think that acquiring their support is a matter of trotting out tropes. Glad we could agree.

The sneakers are dumb, Trump is dumb, Trudeau is dumb, Warren is dumb, Clinton is dumb. Only one of those is a wannabe dictator who unapologetically fellates other dictators.

Rarely do people want to discuss trump the politician and leader and his policies. They want to talk about trumps personal and business dealings from 20 years ago.

He just lost a case for business fraud that dates to '21. I believe records that his niece turned over to journalists turned up tax fraud going back to the 70's but well past the Statute of Limitations. Kind of important to consider the business practices of a guy who people are considering voting for to run the country like a business because of how successful he is.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Imagine arguing that the current administration's economy is a disaster while you're desired dictator peddles $400 shoes in that same economy.

He got $9,000 for a signed pair.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

I assume the shoes are to be viewed more as a campaign donation than anything else. Donate a substantial sum, get a pair of shoes you can wear to show you've donated. That sort of thing.

Or an investment for those that are going to resell them for a premium.

Don't front. That did look like some tasty chicken.

$9k for a limited edition novelty item signed by a former President is Chump change. What's interesting about it is the dude who bought them was Russian.

I'm betting most of those were bought with the intention to flip for a profit, if he loses they won't be worth shit , if he wins.....they won't be worth shit..

Got a link to this? I saw two videos so far and I didn’t notice any booing.

Boos edited out, but it doesn't matter. Those crowds boo everyone.

That quote is so cringey I had to look it up for context.

Everyone loves sneakers, lol. Most of the sneaker market is not made up of black America. Shit, the head coach the USMNT in soccer is a known sneakerhead.

But of course leave it to outlets like Fox to demonstrate just how little they understand black America by always framing them as negatively as possible. These people are so ignorant. It's so fucking obvious that they don't know black people on anything but a superficial level.

I once explained this phenomenon to someone by comparing it to how Mormons treat black people. Once they realized they had no legal grounds to keep black people out forever, they started to kind of allow black people to be Mormon, but they can't really be Mormon. Suddenly there were distinct tiers of Mormonism. Faux News always speaks often often represents them in a similar light. Like when David Duke parades around his "black separatist" friends. "Hey look everyone, see I cant be racist because this black guy who agrees we should live apart as races is someone I like!"

Now there are definitely Democrats who also refer to black voters as monolithic and think stereotypical tropes are the way to appeal to them, being as that's how establishments have always interacted with them.
