If "The Goldwater" is really a racist site... You'd think they could have come up with a better name than naming it after a Jewish guy.

Yes, that is your hint.


I agree, I certainly am not oblivious to this but the fact the only source for that particular information is a race-baiting website known for fake news sends up red flags for me. The only sources The Goldwater cites is the Channel 4 (NBC) article so I think it is fair to question the reporting. If you are comfortable with the veracity of the site, no problem, I tend to be more skeptical.

First, did you read the article?

Second, The Goldwater tries to piggyback on the Goldwater Institute name which although certainly a right-leaning organization it is far from the type of fake news trash site The Goldwater is.

Everyone should be required to work at a shoe retailer for a Jordan launch. I can't explain it to you. I've seen countless fights over a pair of shoes. I've seen store windows smashed and doors ripped off the store just to get inside first. I've seen a "parent" buy a pair of Jordans two sizes too small for a child just because they were the only pair left.

Because it's reality. Race issues will never go away.

I was 14 when jumped by 4 black kids, held up against the lockers in Hall 3, and had my Reebok high-tops taken right off my feet. This was at Lee High in 1988. My bad for just having laces tucked instead of tied, but how else could I keep my Girbaud's with the 'tucked in unintentionally' look?

Too bad they were like, 6.5s.
Dumbasses.

They were found in boys bathroom later that day.

lol...wut???

If you want to be a sheep, fine. There is just zero corroboration anywhere for this version of the story. Every day I understand more and more how fake news can be so persuasive.
