Nike reportedly pulls "Betsy Ross flag" shoes over concerns from Colin Kaepernick

Does that really make any significant difference between them in your opinion?

I do not think the analogy fits. However to keep it simple I do not think normal skull types indict anything about intelligence. Abnormal types could such a deformities craniosynostosis as it can hinder brain developed due to creating a smaller space for the brain. However this has nothing to do with "race"

Agreed; regardless of skin tone, skull shapes have of major groups of people have nothing to do with IQ. So why did you bring it up?

Pretty girls are always appreciated, but this is about Nike wimping out on being called racist for displaying the American flag.

Yeah its all Identitarian nonsense.

I'm racist if I acknowledge a person's ethnicity. But it's also racist to not acknowledge it. This is the double think that leads to dystopia.

Agreed in part; there are racists on both sides. Some hate, some exploit, but they all love playing a card which, IMO, doesn't even exist.

As skull type is used in identification such as forensics. I was providing more information to that topic.

This says everything you need to know about Nike and Kaepernick.

Faux outrage by faux "liberals". Just like the majority of the far left they don't actually care about the issues they preach about. They just use it to further their own selfish goals.

Oh, look! The Betsy Ross flag has had a history of being deliberately appropriated by far-right hate groups and white supremacists:

Why Is Everyone So Upset About the Betsy Ross Flag?

No room for nuance in any political discourse, though. We'd all much rather have access to obviously incredibly ugly shoes.

Nuance..... Do not make me laugh. All this article does is give power to the supremacist. If they use the rainbow flag is everyone else going to stop using it? After all now they know if they use a symbol leftists will flip out.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
IMO, it’s proof Kapernick is anti-American and that Nike are a bunch of wimps.

It’s a sad day when the PC warriors have convinced a major company that the American flag is racist.
The company will have focus grouped the **** out of this, and decided on the action that they think is the most profitable. It isn't because of one guy, and if it's because of anyone being PC, they think it's a LOT of people.

In some cultures, associating anything with the foot or shoe is incredibly disrespectful. Putting the flag on items of clothing is explicitly contrary to the US flag code, too, soo this whole thing is kind of bonkers. Both sides shrieking at each other over perceived disrespect, when the whole idea of putting flags on shoes is pretty disrespectful to begin with.,

It's one thing to describe the shape of a car for identification, but it's another thing to be so frickin' stupid as to believe that shape of a car indicates the IQ, character and personality of the driver.

I have repeatedly told you that is not what I am talking about. Why are you ranting about something I never supported? Tone down your outrage and read what I post.
