Hypocrisy of the Nike ad and all schools coerced to endorse their message

There are wrong decisions made by police, sometimes driven by racism , other times by just being bullies with a badge. They are not justified and should be prosecuted to the extent of the law.
The same police officers are killed by perpetrators while in the line of duty at a far greater rate than blacks unjustifiably killed by police. . Often those police officers are killed in the same neighborhoods which those virtue signalling football programs heavily recruit in. The level of violence in those areas which does not involve a single white person is over 99% higher than the very rare times that an officer kills a black man for unjustified reasons.
The simple truth is any person of any color is far more likely to be victimized in those areas. Who would be more likely to be victimized, white people walking through the neighborhood of north Baton Rouge or black people walking though White Oak or Country Club of Louisiana or most neighborhoods in south Baton Rouge?
So, lets talk about the racism of today,not 50 and 75 years ago. A good place to start would be with Nike and their sanctimonious blind eye.

Nike is about making money. This is making them money. Kaepernick makes them money.

Nike hasn't evolved past the slavery issues of the 1800's. They think it is fine as long as it is Chinese slave labor.

Way to deflect from the issue here

Nike makes a video promoting unity and bashing racism, and people still find a problem with it.

While I whole heartedly wish more US companies would come home, I'm curious to know do you hold all companies to this standard?

Its easy to buy American made products if you’re not lazy.

He just stated some of the factual issues, you just don’t want to hear them. You can’t have this so called conversation with including the facts. Something the left doesn’t want to hear because it does not support their intent to divide and create hatred between the races, classes, etc. keep eating there bull shite right up till the end. And yes there will be an end, don’t know what it looks like but it’s coming

You did not answer the question.

Why do you deliberately think anyone really wants to create hate? On the left or right. I'm left as frick and literally dont know anyone on either side who wants to "divide the races and create hate."

Never bring logic to a racism debate

Some of you guys ignored the entire message and put all of your focus on the Nike emblem that popped up at the end. Privileged...You guys don't understand because you dont want/refuse to understand.

Dividing by race and inciting hate is the core strategy of democratic politics. You really can’t believe what you wrote.

Exactly!!! So who are those people? Racists defend racists and racism. Racists hate those who spotlight racists and racism. Anyone in America who denies racism against African Americans exists is either a blind ignorant fool or racist themselves. Responses in this discussion will clearly spotlight who they are. Unfortunately, far too many populate LSU's fanbase.
