The left needs to divorce itself from PC bullshit

The Betsy Ross Flag hoopla is a perfect example of PC Gone Wild.

Why can’t I fly my 13 States Flag and/or wear some sweet Nike’s with the flag on them?

ugh, why would you want to?

Don't be dumb, RL- some people just want to celebrate the flag and what it represented at the time. Just not the slavery part. It represents American history. not the slavery part. and should be respected as a representation of it, apart from slavery.

When Betsy Ross put that flag together, she was expressing her desire for freedom (well, not for everyone,). I can't think of any reason that an African American would object to the flag of a slave state.

Let's hope they don't have a branch in Germany looking at historical flags.

Let's just remember how many shoes Nike makes outside the USA.

This has nothing to do with patriotism, but profit.

Yeah, so John and Betsy Ross were Quakers and Quakers were abolitionists.

But, in any case, I'm not complaining. This is the reason we're winning now, will win next year, and will keep winning for the next 1,000 years. We can go into the election with no plan and all our nutcase Evangelist baggage on full display and we'll still win. It's not about who is a better candidate, it's about who appears less insane. Not sane, just less insane.

And nothing seems crazier to a public with a fleeting attention span than when you make-up shit so fast that you can't keep track of it yourself.

Does the British flag represent slavery also? You take a swipe at America and Germany but the country you come from. You also sidestepped NP's questions about reparations in this thread. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=230696&p=5106980&hilit=reparations#p5106980

I'm guessing that you can.'

You're just annoyed about some version of a flag that you think is yours on a shoe.

Buy some markers, kid,

I’m annoyed that some former professional athlete has been still has enough clout to get Nike to back down.

Didn't he get a couple of million to be their spokesperson? I don't think it is clout. I think if they didn't listen to him it would send the message that they made a mistake hiring him. They made their bed now they have to sleep in it.

What's your next excuse?

I never said the had to listen to him and it isn't an excuse. A very poor business decision is what I think.

I wonder how many pairs of trainers Nike sold to racist small town Southerners before this fuss though?

Fake Chinese knock offs are already being made in sweat shops all across China. Soon we will see these patriotic shoes on the streets of America!

God bless China!

This is dated but Forbes did a marketing study on sports apparel purchases by ethic group. If I remember correctly African Americans were the dominate group by a wide margin. Outspending Caucasians by 19 dollars to every 1 dollar. So Nike will always listen to their biggest market.

I'm a Westerner and I wear Reebok for jogging (I switched from New Balance after Reebok introduced the Zig), Columbia for hiking, and Dockers for walking (Parkways after Labor Day and Boat Shoes during summer).

For smart dress I wear chukka boots but I'm not sure the brand off the top of my head and for business dress shoes I also don't recall the brand, but they're not $500 bespoke shoes from a thousand year-old Northampton cobbler like fancy mrswdk. With Western Wear I wear Tecova boots but I've had them forever because I only wear Western Wear like maybe once a year if that. I also don't know what brand the shoes I wear with dinner dress are, to tell you the truth, as I only wear them once or twice a year, too.

I don't own sandals because I'm not gross.

Please enlighten us on the brand of your dinner dress.

[mrswdk]

Does Evil Semp think 'dinner dress' is a dress that women wear? I wonder what he thinks a morning suit is.

See, racist southerners don't wear Nike.

EXCUSE ME

[saxitoxin]

The shoes I wear with a suit, I can't for the life of me remember the brand name. It's some weird name like Azure or Xero or something. They're nice though because they have rubber soles -

Yeah, whatever. I saw the documentary the BBC did one you, ZACK (doxed).
