Calling Trump’s sneakers a “big deal” in the “inner city,” Raymond Arroyo leaned into racial stereotypes about Black people to suggest they will go MAGA in 2024.
How is this not satire? How do real, breathing people think that, not only is this a real thing that will work, but that blabbing it out on live tv is a good idea?! Fuck.
I hope the Biden campaign is ignoring all of the ridiculous distractions out there and actually focusing on releasing a fly-ass sneaker befitting the office of the President of the United States.
"DEY ALSO LOVE EATING THE WATERMELONS, HAVE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES WITH A SIDE OF SPRITE, WHILE SMOKING MENTHOL CIGARETTES! DEM BLACK PEOPLE WILL SURELY VOTE FOR US IF WE ALL CATER TO THEIR CULTURAL VALUES!"
Massachusetts banned the sale of menthol cigarettes and I always found that as a surprisingly racist move.
Sure, white people smoke menthol…sometimes. But proportionally, far more black people smoke menthol, and far more black smokers choose menthol.
Now, I quit smoking many years ago (thank fuck), but we had Newport Reds as a rather new variety when I was nearing the end of my smoking tenure. They were non-menthol, while Newport is traditionally a menthol brand, and these were in a red pack. Non-menthol. They were hard as fuck. I loved them.
Now, the menthol ban had been in place a while at this point, as I said, non-smoker. I had gone out for some beers and was trying to find a pack of my friends brand, as she had fallen on hard times and I thought it a nice gestur. Her brand was Camel Crush, which starts of regular and has a menthol bead in the filter which can be “crushed” to make it a menthol cigarette). I found it to be completely unavailable after like three shops. Thats how I found out about the ban.
I asked about the green pack of Newports. Turns out they are non-menthol, and that pissed off a lot of unsuspecting people.
Thank you for attending my TEE talk. Souvenir belt onions are available in the lobby.
This guy specifically? He's a racist asshole, who has been surrounded by other racist assholes and gotten support from them, so he has never learned that his behavior is unacceptable in a society that values freedom.
Trump actually does have a lot of- very misplaced, truly unfortunate- support from young black men. It makes about as much sense as one of his speeches, and is as upsetting, but it’s true to some extent.
They must be under serious delusion about what the con movement really is about. That, or they think that under a con world order, they'll be treated like one of "the good ones". And they even might be. For a while. There was a Jews For Hitler group, too.
There always will be individuals that choose to be a contrarian just because and paint themselves as "the misunderstood visionary trapped with the sheeples".
What a great outreach plan. Anyone that votes for Rapey McTinyD over sneakers [1] is a fucking idiot, in any case.
Maybe they can get a stupid t-shirt to go with the sneakers: "I bought Chinese footwear and funneled money to and/or voted for a fascist and all I got was this Chinese t-shirt and the loss of freedom".
[1] The entire "fashion world" is a complete load of nonsense anyway, going back to its roots and used as a mechanism of control from the outset. People that are supposedly "woke" but then fall into this trap seems to be almost a cliche at this point. I'm sure "sneakerheads" honestly think "the street" is what are setting these trends (lol), but....
