Dear Reader, I do not care about shoe companies. I don't care about professional athletes, current or former, who work for shoe companies. They can sell what they want to sell, or not sell what they don't want to sell, and it's all the same to me. I don't understand why anybody would care. If you don't like it, don't spend your money on it. What's the problem?
But no, it has to become a whole big thing. Now this dumb Nike non-story has escalated. It's no longer about a shoe company. It's about America itself. Now, feminist icon Betsy Ross is considered racist. Betsy. Ross.
David Rutz, Washington Free Beacon:
MSNBC guest Michael Eric Dyson compared the Betsy Ross American flag to the Nazi swastika and a burning Ku Klux Klan cross during an appearance Wednesday... "Words matter. Symbols matter, too," Dyson said. "Why don't we wear a swastika for July 4th? Because, I don't know, it makes a difference. The cross burning on somebody's lawn. Why don't we just have a Nike celebration of the cross—those symbols are symbols of hate. So we can take PC culture back."

2020 will be 1964 in reverse. Dems are clueless
Was she white? Was she a patriot? Then yes, she was a white supremacist. Got it?
I heard she was a lesbian.
By creatig the flag, she became a supreme. She was a founder. She was in fact supreme
Lol! The ultimate symbol of love is now a symbol of "hate." Wow. This guy must have skipped Sunday school.
This is so out of control it’s not even funny.
Are the whites ever going to counter any of this, or just take it?
Is anyone in government with a microphone going speak up to this nonsense and put the BS to rest?
So was Dolly Madison. Think about it, she only made vanilla ice cream!
Should “Flag Day” be changed to “KKK Day”?
Her maiden name was Griscom. Married 3 times. When she did the flag she was married to hubby #2, John Ross. He was killed during the war, they had 2 daughters. No lesbian. I presume you were joking.
Given that Flag Day is also Donald Trump’s birthday, I wouldn’t be surprised in the least....
Wasn’t Betsy Ross an early abolitionist?
I’m offended. I see akid country that evolved. ButI I also see primitive minds stuck in the past unable to step into the present and move to the future. If they think do bad if our country they should just leave!
Socialists goals are to turn american citizens against their founders.
Dont fall for the commie shiite tactics.
Watch for: On the Fourth of July, native Californian Kawhi Leonard chooses Toronto, Canada over the US for his NBA basketball team.
Nike makes a new Kawhi shoe with the Canadian Maple Leaf flag on each heel just to stick it in the eye of Americans.
Justin Trudeau, Kaepernick, Leonard and Nike representatives tour China on an America-bashing brand promotion tour also sponsored by Huawei.
I don’t care what MSNBC has to say. They are just another Communist Party organ.
“Wasn’t Betsy Ross an early abolitionist?”
Yes, she was a Quaker. They were actively abolitionist.
“Wasn’t Betsy Ross an early abolitionist?”
She came from a family of Quakers, so I would imagine yes.
