How can you say “white people are dumb as shite” when most of the top of that list is prototypical white European countries? That list you posted is hardly indicative of anything other then white people on the whole are very intelligent. I don’t know if you just don’t know how to interpret data even if it’s organized into an elementary to read ranking list. There are hundreds of countries. I think you’ll notice various entirety of continents not being present in that “top 30” list. Really nibbles the neurons doesn’t it.

..... America is hardly “white” anymore

Anyway. I bought a pair of Jordan’s online I needed a plain white sneaker. Still waiting for them to ship god damn it.

I fully support people's right to blow money as they see fit, but if you're on gubment assistanc and you're blowing money on Jnew Jordan's, you'll always struggle.

Nike usually short ships the shoes, so shite goes down, and some one ends up being shot. It happens every time a big shoe is coming out.

And Nike does the short ship on purpose.


What a f'i9n scummy company Nike is.

When they pull up the wikipedia page for the word "irony," if wiki wanted to tell the whole truth, then it'd be a simple hotlink to the OT lounge with the text, "Say no more."

I would not care enough if Nike did not play the woke and conscientious SJW with their partners like Kaepernick and Lebron. It is the f-ing hypocrisy I loathe.

Damn riight, blowing money on status shite to be the early adopter is an age rather than racial thing. Of course it falls along socio economic lines for the most part.

most of the people on this thread taking umbrage with the article are doing so because of the race of the people involved


No most people take umbrage with people living off govt assistance (which is funded by us) not having enough money to buy groceries but somehow have enough to buy shoes. That goes for those people both white and black. Just slightly above them are the people who stand in line for a phone as they eat their avocado bagel and then complain they can't get by on their salary. You mentioned how white people (but I see just as many blacks doing the same in my area) waste money on sperry, northface, etc. While I admit that it's dumb, they are paying their on bills with their own paycheck before buying such dumb stuff. That's the difference. What you do with your own money doesn't concern me. Set the shite on fire and burn it as far as I care. And before you start with the "how do you know they're on assistance", I don't. That is based off the number of people living in section 8, projects, and in line at the grocery counter using food stamps yet wearing Jordans. As I said this doesn't just go for the black people. White people are just as guilty. But if you're trying to sit here and defend these same people for standing in line and buying shoes while being on assistance YOU are part of the problem as well. Personal accountability is all but lost in this country and people like you are the just as much to blame as the people doing it.

Nah, I take just as much umbrage with 20 year old plant baws buying $70k pickups. It’s simply a waste of money. Difference is, they earned theirs.


Serious fricking question because this dumb shite pisses me off.

If a 16 year old kid, who works at McDonalds and decides to spend his hard earned money on some Jordans, because he is black he didnt earn it? Is that what you are saying? You have no idea what anybody in this damn line does for a living but you want to sit behind a laptop and spew this bullshite.

Depends on the price.
I would raise my son with better values than to spend $300 on faddish footwear.
