    So the country did that? And as I recall, wasn't the cop in that shooting Hispanic? Can I now claim that the country oppresses white people? https://youtube.com/watch?v=7Ooa7wOKHhg

    How is that obtuse? I asked for a concrete example of how the country oppresses black people and you provide me with a story about a Hispanic cop who shoots a black guy. Okay, I provided you with a video that shows a white cop shooting a white guy. So using your standard of evidence, can I now say that white people are oppressed? I agree that there are issues with policing in this country but it's not national policy and I fail to see how it equals oppression of black people.

    I still can't get over Nike's hypocrisy

    We stand with Kaepernick, but yet our merchandise is still made off the backs of minority children in third world country sweatshops. You can't have it both ways.

    First of all, I'm not sure about Nike using child labor but if those jobs weren't available to the people living in those countries would they be better or worse off? Are there better, high paying jobs available in those countries?

    Christ, I remember that fool. Pretty sure he's the one who told me before the 2004 season that, because Cal hadn't had three straight winning seasons since 1950, it couldn't have a winning season in 2004.

    They aren't minorities in their country.

    You don't really see the pictures of the sweatshops unless you google yourself. But standing with Kaepernick will be spread all over Facebook and Twitter for some serious internet points.

    Nike just needs to dump a bucket of ice water over it's head to put the cherry on top.
    I don't see any Nike sweat shops using child labor. Can you provide a link?

    A Harvard professor has already disproved the narrative that blacks are shot more often than other races.

    Now, they are incarcerated at a greater rate and that’s something we could discuss but, after discussing the poverty levels, we would have to discuss personal accountability and that never seems to be something people want to talk about.

    Are the Chinese in China that make Nike shoes minorities? JFC. Criticial thinking failure.

    edit: just noticed Hondo made this valid point already and some mouthbreather WTF'd his post. Tug's gonna Tug I guess.
