Adidas Shackle Shoes - Twitchin Kitten - 06-19-2012
Why is it always a matter of racism/slavery? Don't prisoners wear shackles too? And they wear them to this day.
Either way, these are one stupid pair of shoes IMO.
Here's a link to the story.

I freely admit I'm pretty ignorant about the treatment of slaves 150 years ago but I question these people claiming that shackles bring up visions of slavery. You're right, it's more of a convict thing... a very dangerous convict. "They" also seem to claim hanging is a racist thing as well even though it was the preferred means of legal execution for quite a while... for every race.
Getting pretty tired of people screaming how offended they are about shit like this.

People have completely forgotten that slavery dates back to before Jesus. Many civilizations enslaved their own people. It's not a black and white issue and it never was. It's also not solely an American issue. It only appears to be because you have people like Jackson and Sharpton race baiting everything they can put that twist on. They enjoy keeping the hate going and they will continue as long as there are the ignorant that fall prey to it.

Oh trust me, it ain't just an american thing. I think each country keeps it inside though. I mean, when last did you care about the atrocities in Zimbabwe? I only kinda care cause I live near there. Heck, I don't even care about the stuff going down here because it's been shoved down my throat so much.
RE: Adidas Shackle Shoes - Twitchin Kitten - 06-20-2012
I hear ya, PIG. Over here though, assholes like Sharpton and Jackson have it set up so that anyone of color has something owed to them by white America. Sorry, I am not responsible for the people who lived and ran this country before my time on this earth. My family are immigrants as well and each of our native lands held their own people as slaves too.

Pardon me for getting a bit vociferous, but WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT JESSIE JACKSON HAS TO SAY,......ABOUT ANYTHING!! I mean, give me a bleedin' break here.
Someone tell that Race Hustling Son-of-A-Bitch to put one thumb in his mouth and one up his ass, and rotate them every ten seconds. Now that would really be worth seeing.
RE: Adidas Shackle Shoes - Gunnen4u - 06-20-2012
I dunno, a lot of people? Black people? Guilty white people? People Jackson makes money on?

Let's use Aljess Jackarpton's (They are the same after all) reasoning here.........I guess I should then be offended by every Celtic knot tattoo (from my Irish heritage) as it could be argued that only REAL Irish should have one, and any restaurant depicting someone wearing lederhosen and enjoying sauerkraut (making Germans look like buffoons) and any THOUGHTS of Polish jokes.
Yeah....I'm an O'Krautski.
Friggin' hate baiters is what those two are.
Besides that, those are really stupid assed looking shoes.

At least they aren't in positions of political power.
RE: Adidas Shackle Shoes - Twitchin Kitten - 06-21-2012
Yes they are - indirectly but they have massive influence over our politicians. That's the sad part.
