Social Nike plan to puts "Betsy Ross" flag on its shoes Canceled *UPDATE* Az Governor Flips on Nike Factory

[Liquid Smoke]

Should the Right be happy? Cause isn't it insulting to the flag to be put on a shoe.

I'd prefer it not be on a Nike. They being a corporation that panders to elements in our society that hate America. This just confirms it.

He's thankful to his white adoptive parents for giving him the opportunity to be a successful man; and because of his privileged position, extend awareness for those who are not as fortunate. What a stellar son and role model.

It's hard to take him seriously when he's lived a more privileged life than most of the country, regardless of race.

He's pretty much like a Tupac or Ice Cube rapping about thug life in the hood when in reality they were middle class drama club kids

Way to completely miss the point. It's precisely because of his privilege that he can do this.

 

[surrealworlds]

Why do you call it "black" market?

Google it.

 

[surrealworlds]

But why is he doing a white supremist hand signal.

What? When did that become a white supremacist thing?

It's really too bad this failed quarterback gets so much support for his racist BS.

This the "Betsy Ross" flag:

This flag is often said to be the first version of our current "stars and stripes" flag, and its design is commonly attributed to some lady named Betsy Ross. The thirteen stars represent the thirteen original colonies, much like the 50 stars on our current flag represent our 50 states.

So Nike wanted to celebrate Independence Day 2019 by putting this outdated flag on some of its shoes. The shoes look like this:

But Colin Kaeprenuk had other ideas because he thinks the flag is racist.
Here's the story:

^^^ This is Colin Kaepernick, if you didn't know. He's the guy who kneels at the National Anthem. The NFL player.

So it looks like Kurrpenik has thoroughly cucked Nike. Since they apparently already made and shipped the shoes, Nike probably lost a metric shit ton of money. But its okay because they appeased some guy who is 1/8 black, tops. Good job, Nike.

The real question is how can I get some of these? Srsly those look dope AF. I wonder how much a pair goes for. Lemme know if you see any.

Anyway, happy early Fourth of July.

Discuss.

That was my first thought also. I'm far from a right winger. The shoes are dope, and I want a pair.

Good for Colin Kaepernick. Turned a failed football career (in terms of what his potential ceiling was) and turned himself into a mascot for the perpetually outraged and racist non-whites.

He could have tweaked a few things along the way and seriously included a lot more people into the fold of his cause but instead decided to Insight with images of pig cop socks and they generally shit attitude.

Outraged and offended often? You might be a bitch. It's at least something to consider.

The shoes cost a buck to make and for the price of a few thousand they are in the news cycle. It's not really a loss.

Buying commercial space equal to the column inches they'll get out of this would cost WAY more than the shoes. Ironically it's the people most bitter about it that will hype it most.

Isn't Kaepernick half white? Probably shouldn't be flashing a white power symbol like that...

 

[jamesmiller14]

And they got small hands in case the machines get stuck. Only lost a few last month.

@panamaican assured me a few months ago when Kaepernick was announced as an endorser of Nike that this issue had all been cleared up.

You're telling me there are still kids working sweatshops in Asia making these shoes for $0.25 an hour while Nike pushes itself as an activist in America?

Here's my surprised face



Well, like most activist of the current day... I suppose it's all for attention. Attention in a sense of belonging to a cause and a group.

Now, if anyone cops a pair of these let me know where you got them.

 

[jamesmiller14]

What is there to discuss here? A publicly traded company took the advice of its well compensated spokesman under advisement. It will probably follow his wishes and cancel the shoe- not because of their loyalty to Kaepernick, nor because they give a shit about black history, but because it is ultimately what is best for shareholders.

This is your capitalism.

The shareholders would also be fine if the shoes had dropped as planned.

Now if only they could find a way to somehow invest in Outrage itself... be it the natural sort or the manufactured kind like we're reading about here, we would be talking about printing money.

At least now a lot of people that would have otherwise maybe purchase the shoe now know that they're supposed to be offended by the Betsy Ross version of the American flag.

Imagine their embarrassment had this not happened and they had purchased the shoe before their outrage mascot have been able to provide them with this up-to-date information? Would probably have to string up the shareholders from the closest oak, no?

He's got Nikes panties in a bunch, for sure.

Bingo.
Poor shareholders.
It’s too bad they don’t have an exchange to cash in all this Outragecoin Nike is generating for them.

But why is he doing a white supremist hand signal.

He's taking it back.

The American Flag is racist? How the fuck did that ever happen?

Read the Declaration of Independence. "All men are created equal." The country was created to fight oppression and designed to free the slaves and make their decedents full citizens with all the rights bestowed by the U.S. Constitution. It all worked. We now have the environment for all Americans to thrive and Leftists want to look back, to create division, and claim that anyone living here (legally) can live the American Dream. This is done in the attempt to keep the Black population in check by the Democrats and to continue to stay empowered by their vote.

President Lyndon Johnson (D) put power over Americans and the American Dream and the rest of the Democrats embraced his tactics. He said it, "I’ll have those n-words voting Democratic for 200 years”. (Cited Book: Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream - Doris Kearns Goodwin 1991)

He reportedly referred to the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as the “n-word bill” in more than one private phone conversation with Senate colleagues. And he reportedly said upon appointing African-American judge Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court, “Son, when I appoint a "n-word" to the court, I want everyone to know he’s a "n-word".”

You can listen to a video of him dropping the N Word with no discomfort on Youtube here. (Mods: Spoilered for protection - delete if it's out of line. I'm no fan of the usage of the word, but facts are facts.)

Spoiler

Suddenly, the party of Slavery, Sam Crow, Segregation, and that fought against Civil Rights by a larger percentage has seized the black vote through "Social Welfare Programs" designed to take incentive away and place Black Americans under Big Government Democratic Party's thumb. Get a few race hustlers like Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton who enrich themselves to market the bullshit and it works even better.

As the examples mount up of The American Dream where blacks succeed, less and less will buy the Socialist bullshit holding them down. Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Michael Jordon, Magic Johnson, Tiger Woods, Will Smith, Samuel L. Jackson, Thurgood Marshall, Clarence Thomas, Kenneth Frazier, Ursula Burns, Russell Simmons, and Ben Carson are all examples exposing the lie Democrats are pushing day in and day out.

we should dig up her bones and deport her.

 

[carlos cadona]

They should put a Vietnamese flag on them as a tribute to where their sweatshops are located.

God, you're naive. Or willfully ignorant and intentionally lying. Jefferson penned those words despite the utter hypocrisy of the phrase in a nation that condoned slavery. He was a self professed abolitionist too, but lacked the courage and conviction to live by his principles. He expected someone else to come along and free them because their right to live as free men should be self evident.
But it wouldnt happen until nearly a century later- in the bloodiest war on American soil. And people today are still bickering about it, trying to celebrate and memorialize the slaver regime. lol@acting like it was a foregone conclusion that slavery ended. And lol@at pointing out Lyndon Johnson's racist outbursts, as if most other presidents werent just as racist. lol@"Democrats are the real racists"\

lol@you

^^^^^ Leftists wouldn't know what to do without the Politics of Division. I offered straight up facts and quotes and you subjected everyone to your revisionist bullshit.

So you wanna show me how it's revisionist that slavery continued for a CENTURY after Jefferson penned that phrase?
