Nike released a pair of sneakers to celebrate the 4th, featuring the original American flag design by Betsy Ross

handicaps did as handicaps do, sperged out and got it pulled. handicap Supreme was Colin Kaepernick, famous for kneeling for the pledge of allegiance and causing many a butthurt among troglodytes who watch a sport where men run into each other for money

Afro handicap expressed concern that Nike was releasing a design featuring a symbol that many people consider white supremacy, forgetting that handicaps are, in fact, not people, and only count for 3/5 of an actual human being, making their opinion worth less than a dogs

Discuss the future of cancel culture fueled by handicaps who get offended over historical symbols and the like

The reaction against it seems a bit over the top considering it's just the first american flag. Then again, if it really does have some sort of association with white supremacists then Nike should have stayed the forget away from it and they should've seen this coming a mile away.

Banning everything that's arbitrarily given a "tribal" sticker is beyond stupid.

tbh they shouldn't, because it's just handing power to fringe groups. Like making the OK sign a national socialist symbol was entirely on the media. If they hadn't run with that story, no one would have thought of it that way except for the jokers on 4chan that thought it up, but they don't care cause it baits for clicks and no one else cares cause they're loving idiots

Nike isnt getting the Betsy Ross flag banned you loving spoon. I would say the exact same thing if Nike had the bright idea of putting a pepe on one of their shoes. It's a loving meme, but it was used heavily by alt-right types and so unless you enjoy PR hell, you don't put that on your products when you're a billion dollar company. The status quo is that national socialists=bad right now, and so unless you want to destroy your massive business, you stick to putting stripes and ticks on your shoes. This is capitalism 101, surely you should know this?

You're describing it like the whole thing was just a stuffpost on /pol/, and that nothing else ever came of it. The reason the media called it a national socialist dog-whistle, get this, was because it was being used as a national socialist dog-whistle. I bet Tarrant was just owning the media like the absolute mad man he is when he used the ok symbol in court. He really trolled those libtards by using a completely harmless symbol and associating it with white supremacy -- even though the symbol isn't supposed to be white supremacist at all!! loving journalists am I right? So gullible.
