On the other hand, maybe we bet on the wrong horse. Nike is in freefall.

This is one of those where you only see it if you want to see it.

Yes. You only see it IF you crop out every part of the main photo except a small portion of the skirt and the shoes she's holding. Then if you use your imagination extensively, you might see something racist if your goal was to find something racist to begin with.

Other than that, it's a photo of a girl wearing Converse and holding a pair of Converse.

Into your imagination

LOL. The same people who see that, claim pianos are racist because there are more white than black keys.
Also, don't know if you guys have noticed or not..... but the same people no longer make any mention of Dr. Martin Luther King.

His vision of seeing the character in a person instead of the color of skin doesn't jive with their constant, constant, constant race baiting BS.

There is racism practiced by many. But this is what I'd say about that: When and after it's our time to leave this earth, how large our bank account and portfolio is, the color of our skin, our gender, our nationality, our religion, our education, ... none of that will give us even one iota of an advantage. At that time, we will all be equal. Being kind towards everyone and everything, will allow us to leave behind something far greater and valuable than fame and wealth. We will be able to leave behind a good name.

Kind of like treating others the way you want them to treat you.

It's almost as if I've heard that somewhere before... :unsure:

See my post directly above.

If the photo is cropped just right and you have a great imagination, you can see a KKK hood and a pair of shoes dangling, presumably from a tree. So this photo is said to portray a lynching.
I thought shoes dangling on a phone line indicated where to buy drugs.

Are you sure? And, specifically, what drugs?

Asking for a friend.
Just remember that there is no honor in drug dealers and you never know what you are buying, such as fentanyl or LSD, etc.

Yes, I know you were kidding but the latest toxicology report on Hayden Panettiere’s death was due to an overdose that included fentanyl!

How's that go? "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Pretty much sums it up.
