I’ve never worn Levi’s or Wranglers or Nike or any name/famous brand.

And, I’ve never needed to, not in my youth and not now.

I feel safe not supporting the name brands.

(But, I just bought a Lexus, so...)

You built this world and now that the mob has come for you suddenly I am suppose to feel sympathy?

No.

In in the 80’s it was a crime to sell a pair of jeans in the USSR. Lots of anxiety for American students who chose to finance their trips that way...

I have a friend who works at Wrangler. If you don’t check diversity boxes you don’t get hired. Qualifications don’t matter.

I can. Larry Elder was called a white supremacist.

“I’m a Wranglers man myself”

I own a pair of Wranglers and they’re pretty good but I still prefer my canvas Carhartts.

Funny thing is I do own an almost-new pair of Levi 501’s that I found on the beach in Morro Bay this last October. They were washed up on the beach and in my size so I took them home, cleaned them, and I wear them. They’re soft and comfy but nothing I’d use for work or hiking. I doubt they’d stand up to the abuse.

A lifetime Lefty Loon broad, Cancelled by the Marxist Tyranny she supported since she was a teenager.

The Irony is fabulous.

No sympathy here, Wokester.

And I haven't purchased Levi's anything since they went Gun Grabbing.

“Seriously, I can’t think of anything more anti-racist than an interracial relationship.”

My wife is Vietnamese. Are we both racists?

True. But they were much more useful as gifts (bribes) than for mere trade.

I am now retired, but when I was in the (already woke) workplace I had to heavily self-censor.

Congrats on getting out. I have about ten years to go and don't know if I can, or will, make it.

I know some folks who's interracial relationship ended with the white person saying they were made over and over to feel guilty for being white and couldn't escape it even when home.

Some of that was from family members and old friends of the spouse. Some of that was from the spouse being immersed in the blame-the-whitey talking points that's popular with his/her "culture".

The few I know of that still stay together are like the ones where both spouses are the same color: it works better if both of them identify first and foremost as Christians / children of God.

Heck, they were basically unavailable in most of Europe. We hosted an exchange student from Germany for an entire year in the early 1980s. He sent, and took, so many pairs of 501s back to Germany he could have retired at 16.

People can have their eyes opened and their minds changed.
As others have noted here, it’s often not a rapid process. (I wonder how many Freepers are former, deluded ‘liberals’ to some extent or other.)

Attitudes like yours aren’t very encouraging to that metamorphosis.

I’ve never bought anything but Dickies brand. I thought it was crazy when kids in high school were paying $50 for a pair of Levi’s I was getting slightly blemished Dickies for $5. The blemish was usually a stitch slightly out of line, only an inspector would have noticed.
I never have been a clothes horse.
I buy it cheap and rugged and wear’em until they fall apart.

“My wardrobe thirty years ago consisted of Levis and Nikes.”

50+ years ago, that was my not working garb.

I turned 40 and a lot of changes happened. A good friend told me to save the Levis for yard or upkeep work at home or the church. I still have a couple of pair of Levis that fit me now at age 83, and I use them for crud work.

One of ours Sons had an apartment in Nike’s home American City, Beaverton, Or. At that time he said Nike was a ChiCom company and the people working for them here were commies.

So I went to New Balance tennis shoes and work tennis/boots. The only problem, is they seldom if ever wear out.

But it’s not the ultimate virtue signal on race when a pasty chubby white girl shows off her Mandingo stud

The ultimate virtue signal is when hipsters and works folks get a black baby or two for adoption

Mic drop racial virtue signaling

I think Madonna started that.

Angelina ran with it and so on

I realize some get adoptees they can easiest which is often non white babies or kids....fair nuff

But I know folks who only wanted African kids cause they were hardest to place after fetal alcohol syndrome Slavic kids

Naw....jungle fever is a piker next to that level of commitment

People marry for horniness, shared goals, and the sad fact of what you can get depending on who you are or how pretty or handsome you aren’t your $$$

Folks pick a different race or ethnicity under those and a few other parameters....or they should

Choosing a partner to show off racial idealism is failure

They are exclusively based on racism. 100% entirely. Every one. The lie they tell themselves is so strong it must be displayed and codified.
