Reading that article makes me think of Belushi in "Animal House":
"What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Of course, Bluto was right to convince his fellow reprobates that it was not time to give up. This guy writing the article is just stupid from the first word.

Yes, I said handcuffs
shackles
.the stuff that our ancestors wore for 400 years while experiencing the most horrific atrocities imaginable, most of which were never documented in the history books and kept away from you in the educational system, all so you would be willing to put shackles on your ankles today and not be so sensitive about it.(emphasis mine)
Check the math. I guess that the atrocities weren't the only secret the educational system kept from them. (1607+400=2007, slavery went out in 1865)
Prison garb is optional and behaviourally controlled in most instances, much as for anyone else, and even while slavery existed, there were free blacks (some of whom owned slaves).
This revisionist tripe gets more tedious by the lie.

I am not surprised at all. Black Studies? He should have gone into Womyn’s Studies instead.

These things would have been and still may be if they don't yank them HUGE sellers

Kids are just looking for the next thing to shock their parents. Tattoos, body piercings, purple hair, pants below the butt with underwear showing, music that repeats the 'n' word have all been done to death.
BTW, if my child bought a pair of those, (as if I would let him), I would cut those yellow bracelets right off.

Adidas is not exactly some fly-by-night company. They must have conducted some market research that indicated these ugly things would sell.

We’re all going to need a pair during Punk Act II. Bob

Maybe they’re trying to take over the market in bondage-wear.

You wont see me or my kids wearing any of this stuff, and I hope your kids wont either. Chains on our ankles are bad enough; but we must also get rid of the chain on our brains. Yeah, ok, right.
How fast did they sell out?

I’m trying to visualize the market research Trayvon focus groups that Adidas assembled to test this design.

If these shoes do sale lets hope Levi’s makes some chain pants so they can keep their pants up.

The first 30 black slaves in North America arrived in 1619. That won't hit its 400th year for 7 more years.His African ancestors were slaves to their own African cousins long before the American trade. Where does he think mean whitey shopped?

I literally froze up when I saw a new design from Adidas set to hit stores in August. JS Roundhouse Mids, are purple and gray, with HANDCUFFS that wrap around the ankles. No you didn't. And they are leg irons. (Does noöne appreciate grammar and history anymore?)

Slavery in Africa doesn’t count; that’s cultural, so there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s only slavery in North America that’s racist, so that’s what matters to professional racists like the writer.

“The black family has ripped itself apart because so man of our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons are locked away in prison, leading their children vulnerable to all the horrible things that happen when the man of the house is not away.”
MMMM, MMMM, MMMMM
‘’It’s deconstruction time.
;-)
“The black family has ripped itself apart, ...” Call the Waaambulance!
Reality is those black families are disfunctional and churned out criminals. Said criminals were dumb enough to be jailed.
Gotta love this line: “so man of our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons are locked away in prison”.
The writer probably meant “so many” rather than “so man”, but whatever.
It gets better, as in: “leading their children vulnerable”.
Call Captain ObviousMan. First, fat too many of those Urban Feral offspring are correctly known as bastards. The word has meaning, meaning and predictive value developed over centuries.
However, the rest of the sentence also bears examination. “leading their children vulnerable to all the horrible things that happen when the man of the house is not away.”
RacissWriter can’t write, as he probably meant to write “..when the man of the house is away.” rather than “when the man of the house is not away.”.
PS “Away” is a deliberate deceptive phrase for substituting for “imprisoned”.
