Thank You Hypocrisy

"It's about reminding people that whether it's racism, sexism, inequality or simply just ignorance to all of the above, that the conversation has been started, it's been elevated and let's keep it moving forward. Let's not forget."

Thank You Nike

Thank you for reminding us to think before we speak.

Thank you Nike for reminding us that racism, sexism, inequality and ignorance have no territorial limits.

Thank you Nike for reminding us of the poverty and fear that continues to dominate the lives of your Indonesian factory workers who are forced to work up to 60 hours a week for less than US3 dollars a day.

Thank you Nike for reminding us of the verbal, physical and sexual abuse of your workers that still continues to this day in Indonesia.

Thank you Nike for the corporate leadership and global responsibilty that you continue to demonstrate.

Thank you Nike for reminding us of the millions of dollars you spend yearly in sponsorship to black rappers who spout the same vulgar and racist epitaths that Don Imus repeated.

Thank you Nike for reminding all of us that hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    No proof that Nike uses sweatshops anymore. Urban myth if you ask me. Big thumbs up to the antiracism ad.

  2. "No proof that Nike uses sweatshops anymore. Urban myth if you ask me."

    Nobody asked you, pinhead libtard.

    Yeah, those sneakers just drop out of Nike's execs rear end like magic votes.

    "Big thumbs up to the antiracism ad."

    More like "props for my fellow honky hoes who kiss the PC ass! Wazzup interlopers!"

    Crush liberals/jihadis in one stroke - burn your nike sneakers, mix ashes with bacon grease and send it Saudi Arabia with Pelousy's return address.

    Wow editor, at least nike allows a dialogue, but you throw sand when someone comments on your blog, which is a device for dialogue.

  4. Editor has his own blog ~ and this is not it.

    And we do allow a dialogue here.

    Editor, your response to my point that Nike no longer practices "sweatshop" labor was uncalled for and inaccurate.

    Again, a big thumbs up to the advertisement.

    Let's stop the hate and support diversity and love in Jesus' name.
