Bringing jobs back stateside isn't the answer, but free money is?
If trumps plan was to bring the jobs back.. where are they?:unimpressed:

More consumption spurs economic growth and UBI makes the jobs we have livable. Unless you have a way to turn back the clock on robotics and make them less cost effective than the wage of a unionized worker, I don't see what the solution is. A very high robotics tax to disincentivize automation?

Greedy politicians did. Money make the world go around l. I doubt the politicians listened to the experts. How could shrinking out middle class be good for America.

People criticize trump all the time. I’m pretty sure Whitlock did before. But he did criticize Obama.


But he just made out the point that Lebron is a corporate tool. All this empty ass gestures but we really need shyt that black people can feel now a couple shirts and hashtags. Kap selling his protest 1s for $100 ain’t really do shyt at the end of the day..we don’t even know where the money goes that be being donated..


We all forget Donald Sterling won 2 NAACP awards by throwing money at black people.

Lebron built an actual school. Those graduates will have access to jobs over gestures.

He is being disingenuous.

Where is all the smoke for these private equity companies and high finance types who ACTUALLY lobby to bust unions and ship jobs overseas ?

The son of a union member from a pastoral two parent home calling Lebron who was raised by a single mother on welfare pampered ?

GTFOH :laff:

He primarily a sports dude. So he is speaking in the context of sports. If y’all want to talk about smoke. Trump is the one that gave them any type of smoke, he the one who brought the issue to the forefront politically. (fukk trump but I’m just saying).

Most of y’all just saying what about what about..it’s the same thing white people say when y’all say something about cops killing Black people. We ain’t talking about politicians...We talking about the topic at hand. Lebron and what he could do to better affect black people.

Lebron been a megastar since 9th grade...now u being disingenuous.

One thing @Deangelo B. Is absolutely right about is that we can't just assume these companies are on our side because they make a bunch of fuss about being woke. There's money in appearing to be down with the cause, and we need to hold them accountable and not let them get free promo.

nobody forced whitlock to bring up a bunch of political shyt. We can address topics that *he* brought up in the first place. He's the one bringing up conspiracy theories about Nike stoking racial tensions to help china and saying lebron only cares about Ahmad arbery to sell shoes, and you want to hit us with bb but he's only a sports writer:heh:

So China making big companies fall back a conspiracy theory now..Nike can criticize America but can’t criticize China. China human rights record is terrible. They openly discriminate against blacks but where is the equality campaign in China. How is that a conspiracy theory. China stockpiled masked and other medical equipment when they knew COVID-19 was coming. They literally hoarded the supplies.

Is China and Nike not aligned tho. We had a 40 page thread about the China situation on the sub forum. Readjusting China’s trade advantage will hurt Nikes bottom line plain and simple.

The point is Nike is benefitting regardless. It's no different than Kaepernick's issue. Nike beneffited both ways, People boycotted the NFL but not Nike who are in bed together.

With the Whitlock’s of the world, hes left enough evidence over a period of years to let you know how the story ends.

why heads in here are suddenly making him out to he a thought provoking scribe is beyond me. Dont let your I hate liberals machismo turn him into a muse who knows and wants whats best for Black people . :mjlol:

his job is that of someone Who needs to speak on flimsily created Black problems that he, as a black alibi for anti-black racists, can solve.

The point is he is explicitly criticizing Lebron for coming out against Ahmad Arbrery's death because he is employed by nike. He would prefer that lebron and kaepernick just sit back and let the police and white people do whatever in order to not weaken Trump's american first agenda which is insane.

If he wants less racial tension so that we can take on china he should be pushing for police reform, and criticizing the people who keep killing black people.

He literally says it's a mistake for people like lebron to call for police reform.

How do you guys not have a problem with that?
