Sooooooo, the Betsy Ross Flag is racist

[PaulS]

Wait until SD calls you 2 snowflakes.


That flag is not racist but when racists use that flag for a symbol of their racism, there are other flags that can go on the sneaker. Just as the swastika was used for centuries before the Nazi started using it, people no longer use the swastika bc of the Nazis.

Seems the complaint should be against the racists who started using this flag to represent their hate rather than Nike who apparently doesn't want the racists to associate Nike's products with their racism.

So based on your reasoning, we need to abandon the American Flag because some jackovs appropriated this?
