Because I pointed out a statistical fact, that you are more likely to get murdered by your fellow black man than you are by the cops?
Don't let the news mislead you, there are more pressing issues than people getting clapped by cops. Y'all just love playing the victim card.
I bet y'all gonna call me a self hating black c00n next huh?
:sas2:
No, because you aren't black.

The amount of opposition in this thread :mindblown:


I honestly can't fathom many things worse than being black in America. Not only do you have to deal with overt racism but you can't even take a stand against anything without your own people opposing you.

even at 30 percent off its still way overpriced. Basically a 5 dollar shoe that they been figuring out how to make cheaper and cheaper. And Nike been shytting on nikas for years nothing new, they taught MJ the way.

But I can't help but laugh thinking about when a cop is chasing down some nikka in his newly discounted bikes and the soles fly off those bytches.

Annnnd this been my basic point. What the fukk changes? How did we utilize this opportunity to get $$$$ to our own resources over NIKE?

What is the end goal other than a pat on the back for Nike not changing anything but making a statement?

More smoke, more mirrors, more back to the same shyt.

And this is no shot or argument with you. I'm self employed. Have hard days to provide for my family.....I just get tired of us begging and complaining while I gotta watch Cacs set up their own colonies in this country and run shyt how they want AND they dont even need to because the system already has their backs.

They aint complaining just putting $ together and running shyt how they want.

Land in Detroit is cheap. Instead the Chinese are buying it up. Why we not buying it up and giving our people jobs as Dr's, Police, Mail services, corner stores, manufactureres of clothing paper products, grow our own fruits, veggies, get farmland. etc etc etc.

POOL resources and run OUR OWN shyt. Same energy it takes to protest WE CAN DO and OWN our own shyt here. Is it gonna be inconvenient? Yeah at first but I see the Indians, Koreans, Mexicans etc doing just that. There's parts of Atlanta where you go and it's all Korean businesses. Same way there is a part of town where all you will hear is Spanish. We keep talking bout "the hood" but don't even be owning a fukking corner store or gas station or grocery in our communities.

How about boycott any non black owned business in the hood. Get these other cultures out of there and come up with our own alternatives?

You know why? Because it takes more than protest and typing some shyt on the web. It's gonna take SOME REAL HARD WORK, Discipline, investment and blood, sweat and tears.

Boycotting Nike won't solve everything but it's a very simple and understandable thing to do. Especially if that boycott is a permanent one.

Very surprised by the pushback on people who want to boycott.

I was just about to buy a pair of Nikes this weekend until I saw this blurb on social media. My money will stay in my pocket.

The gall of these companies to market to black masses and KNOW that a large portion of their revenue comes from the black populace. And then to do some blatant funny style sh#t when they know the climate between black people and police.

Like @Digga38 said, when a company shows you disrespect, then you hold your dollar hostage. You punish them for their disrespect. If you allow disrespect with absolutely no repercussion, then you can expect even more disrespect.

Peace

The discount isn't exclusively for police officers, but for ALL first responders. Y'all dudes just love being up in arms about anything.
Y'all really out here looking over your shoulder hoping a cop doesn't shoot you?
:patrice:


You have a better chance getting murked by someone who
looks just like you. :francis:

What about black on black crime :troll:

For me not to be a c00n I have to:

Walk barefoot, stop drinking all consumeable liquids, stop eating food.

:ohhh:


If you'Re trying to boycot Nike now, you could :camby:

Everyone knows all these corps are racist and dont give a fukk about you. All of a sudden you wanna boycot when its popular and trending.

I didn't know Nike was the only shoe company on earth? :ohhh:

And they make food and beverages???!!!! :gladbron:

Damn, I mean damn! :krs:
