Nike, Nike, Nike!

Well, one of the usual racist suspects did! She's never missed a chance to bash one of her betters.

Rage against it as they will, the tide of progress rolls on unabated. Nike took a stand and it's paying off. Other corporations will take note. The (R)s think they've got it made because they have the corporations in their back pockets. However, the companies have a higher boss -- we consumers call the shots.

There will be a couple .. but for the most part, we've already beaten them down.

They have no argument left, and are getting totally embarrassed by what is happening. :0)

I wouldn't matter if you were looking. There is nothing you can do about it.

You and your party have already lost this battle .. big time.

... and to your confusion about Parks and King .. the evolution of that movement has forced corporations to take a stand and has advanced the cause beyond sit-ins and marches.

In fact, are you aware of the Montgomery Bus Boycott? What are the OBVIOUS lessons compared to Nike?

It's you doing the boycotting .. badly.

King and Parks were much more successful at it.

Kind of silly to pretend that he didn't make sacrifices.

And you sound pretty anti-capitalism, btw.

Just remarking that his sacrifice/benefit ratio is a little better than mine—and almost certainly your own as well lol.

My hat is off to Kap, that was slick. And I’m glad I live in a country where people of color have such a wealth of opportunities to become multimillionaires—even if it’s at the expense of gullible consumers.

Socialism provides no such opportunities.

You're winning because a multi-billion dollar corporation is making more money from a carefully crafted marketing scheme aimed at turning issues of racial injustice into a reason to buy their tennis shoes? :thinking:

:0) A losers perspective.

We are winning because of the growing rejection of hate-filled right-wing thought and symbols.

We are winning because of the complete collapse of Trumpism and the morons who follow him.

We are winning because the American population is evolving away from republican ignorance and failure. Millennials aren't buying that bullshit.

We are winning because republicans have their heads down waiting for the midterm storm to pass, hoping they still have a political life left. Don't look now but even the South is turning away from the hapless, hopeless Right. :0)

We are winning because our political future looks far better than yours.

If whining about it helps ...be my guest.

so when does all of this "winning" :rofl2: translate into something we can measure?
November?
and when it doesn't do you go back to whining like the little Aunt Jemima you are?

tell us in November after the election if you'd like
 
to borrow a Reagan quote, which I'm highly qualified to do, 'they're (Nike customers) voting with their feet"

sorry red necks, no one really cares about your various mental illnesses

What is explicitly being done about the issue of racial injustice in our law enforcement and criminal justice system as the result of this Nike advertisement? I am not a Republican, I do not hate Colin Kaepernick for refusing to stand for the national anthem, I am not on the "other" side of this issue. I am merely questioning the fact that you are identifying with the victory of corporate megalomaniacs who are pulling record profits because they can manipulate you into buying their product by putting your deeply held views on the television pretending they give half a shit, while doing literally nothing about the issue at all. Nobody but Nike is winning. You are being played.

Wrong, I'm not identifying the rejection of the Right solely by what Nike is doing. It is just one factor as I clearly identified in my post.

Start here ..

National Black Police Association Comes Out in Support of Colin Kaepernick
https://www.ebony.com/news-views/national-black-police-association-colin-kaepernick

Whether you know it or not, the needle just moved.

If Nike stood against Kaepernick, you'd have nothing to say .. but because they've taken a stand, you've got issues with it.

Hard to see how you aren't on the other side.
