Slave Shoes?

Via the Jeremy Scott X Adidas collaboration the now cancelled release of the “JS Roundhouse Mid” has started a whirlwind of controversy amongst people who don’t have shit else better to do than find something racist about everything. In the last 48 hours I’ve heard them dubbed everything from the “Air Niggas” to the “Coon Shackles Pro” (y’all fools on Twitter crazy), but I really don’t understand what the fuss is all about.
 
Black people weren’t the only slaves
I know this might catch some of you off guard but slavery wasn’t exclusive to people of color. Up until 1981 you could still legally have own people in Mauritania (a Northern African country), so LEGAL slavery existed in my life time and some of yours. Almost every ancient civilization had slaves those; Pyramids ain’t build themselves son. All those shows like Spartacus, and the random Greek mythology flick that drops every year have slaves and they are mostly all white. But of course since we are black in America everything that might be racist is a direct shot at us. Why they always picking on us? We all know Mary J singing about chicken is super racist because chicken is exclusively marketed for blacks, like Newport’s and malt liquor. (Well Newport’s and malt liquor probably are though; I’ve never in life seen anybody not of color purchase either maybe y’all should start a dot.com revolution about that.)
 
The creator of Adidas was a member of the Nazi party
Adolf “Adi” Dassler and his brother Rudolf (the guy that started Puma) were motherfucking Nazi’s son. Adolf also gave Jesse Owen the shoes he won the gold medals in so maybe he was playing both sides. He was racist and helping niggers at the same damn time. I’m pretty sure if the company wanted to drop some racist kicks and alienate the largest sneaker consumers on the planet now wouldn’t be the time. Especially since the good people at Adidas found it fit to give Derrick Rose 250 million in February of this year. Even a toddler can see that’s just bad business.
 
Jeremy Scott makes crazy looking shit
If you haven’t seen any of his Adidas designs prior to the cancelation of the “JS Roundhouse Mid” you might need to Google him… I’ll wait. He puts wings on shoes, tails on leopard print shoes, furry shoes with gorilla tongues, teddy bear shoes that look like bedroom slippers and a vast array of other crazy looking shit. Putting a plastic shackle on a shoe is a bit tame for this guy.
 
Nike is getting niggas hurt
Every Nike major release borderline causes a riot and results in some sort of black on black crime. Walking down the street in a pair of Air Yeezy 2, Galaxy Foams or South Beach LeBron’s might get you robbed, murdered or both. That’s just niggas being niggas though. Who are we to request Nike to make more shoes or boycott a release to stop the violence? Yeah, fuck that let’s just fuck with Adidas because real niggas wear Jordans and shit.
 
I don’t fuck with the shoes because they ugly not racist
