@AppyJoel@hshLauraJ Valid. However that street goes both ways. My point is that the world isn’t seen through one lens, and those in power to influence are responsible for all reactions. For your point of view to be the vanguard, taints all other vantage points. My way or the highway, ain’t it.
@NowTeenEighty4@Krob_LBC@FOS@Realrclark25@grok So initially you use “woke” as a derogatory term to describe others, then berate someone for not using the term in its historical sense. Ryan Clark has always addressed issues concerning blacks, so yes, he is woke.
@AppyJoel@hshLauraJ This is a part of a global campaign, not a regional one. The fact that she happens to be Korean does not bar her reaching a wider audience. Karena appeals to Gen-Z, K-pop fans worldwide. No one had to search, this is the intended rollout. Don’t gaslight.
@AppyJoel@hshLauraJ Never said the ad was racist. The point is provocation. You are missing the forest for the trees. Converse is not explicitly promoting racism, it simply gives the viewer something to see and talk about. The ambiguity is on purpose. Masterclass marketing.
@AppyJoel@hshLauraJ I understand the indifference Joel. However, if “Billy” on Twitter can see it, then surely the execs in Converse marketing saw it. Think about it, when was the last time you thought about Converse? Excellent marketing. Got all the anti-woke mob riled up. lol
@HowdyDowser@ProfWBCarter@drboycewatkins1 Its interesting that your original take was about accountability. I agreed that blacks as a race need to take ownership. And still, there is no acknowledging the factors that have impeded our progress. We have only had one generation of civil rights, and wealth creation.
@HowdyDowser@ProfWBCarter@drboycewatkins1 Redlining and segregation have had profound effects on the black community. The underlining monster is not the low hanging fruit(race), the monster is wealth. By prohibiting where, and who a people can associate with kneecaps wealth generation. Communities are built over time.
@mlkxdman@curuso@attackdogX Same way the niggers allow the Chinese to import that mess in our communities. Niggers control the ports, waterways and law enforcement. Once niggers are involved my people always suffer.
@manateerodeo@OGChilly87 Nigga, it’s your own rich niggas that’s taking the most from you by not paying taxes, raising prices for everyone and got you rambling incoherently on Twitter
