If you go in, some people are saying white people are stealing black culture....
Then some people are trying to equate this to gentrification..... Idk.

To me it sounds like some people want exclusiveness. No! Black women try to fight for inclusiveness and some just want stay separate.

What if this lady created one of the biggest product ever, would you want it just limited to 1 group or to everyone?

There was literally never a time only black people wore Jordans so her premise isn't even correct. MJ himself famously said 'republicans buy sneakers too', he wants everyone to use his product and doesn't consider it black culture.

I was t aware there was a time when only black people wore Jordans, I kinda remember fubu...

Hot take but I don't think black entrepreneurs would have a fraction of the money they have if it wasn't for white people being so infatuated with their culture.

I think what she was trying to say was that all the stuff that mostly black people wore should stay that way. And white people are just culture vulture.

At the same time, why would you want to limit your product to 1 group?

I agree. Most of raps biggest demographic is white people.

Yeah obviously that girl has no knowledge of sneaker history. Shit like this isn't new, guys eating ice cream out of their Ben & Jerry's Dunks, filling up Jordan IVs with milk and dunking Oreos into them.

She doesn't like Jake Paul, me neither. I'm not gonna turn this into a debate about race though.

Well the concept i am trying to express is that she wants things to be exclusive while they want inclusion in areas that benefits them.

Was he being paid by Reese's Puffs? That logo is extremely visible in what sense like an unnatural way lol.
