So let's do some research for context to determine what is really scary

quote:

more recent Reconstruction research identifies nearly 2,000 additional Black people lynched between 1865 and 1876, bringing its documented total to nearly 6,500 Black victims from 1865–1950.


So what about?

quote:

Approximately 225,000 Black Americans were killed by Black offenders in the United States during 1976–2023, based on FBI homicide data and an estimate for incomplete/missing records.

Yeah and it's not like political statements are already shoehorned into EVERYTHING these days.

Honestly who has any fricks left to give about what statements Converse or anyone else want to make. These people need to get a life

Things like this are a big reason why normal people view leftists as being both delusional and quite stupid.

What does it mean now when someone’s sneakers get tossed over an electric line? Really makes you think, time to start a conversation.

Seriously.. This is stupid...

Had Converse clapped back and something to the effect that people taking this as anything other than a normal add are retarded and GFY don't buy our product...

I'd have bought a pair of Converse today
