Im not for the exploitation of any ppl, especially ppl who work in sweatshops.
As a matter of fact, I started making my own shoes out of used tires, cardboard paper towel rolls, socks, cotton balls, and dental floss

3 years ago when this thread would have been made the Camel approval rating would have been at about 50%.. He always had "haters and "stans" Now his support base has dwindled to Congressional approval ratings in hip hop...He has about 7 solid Stans left on this forum that are holding on like those rare tea party supporters that still feel like Sarah Palin is a credible political force...
I salute yall n1ggas for throwing your own blackness under the bus to support a rapper that wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire..
Yall warriors are the last of a dying breed

If you think any rapper would piss on you if you were on fire, then you are very naive.
I salute Hov for actually providing scholarships through this for the less fortunate. The recipients will have a greater chance to better themselves, instead of complaining about what others should and shouldn't be doing to help our people all the time while doing nothing themselves.

Smart move... The image of a bunch of old money and trust fund Madison Ave cacs drinking champagne served by working class Puerto Ricans would be a bad look at this point...Even if they were gonna throw a few crumbs at the "coloreds" in the name of reperations...
#1) How is that a terrible argument when Jay Z updates are a hot topic in the barbershop but sweatshops aren't? Sweatshops are the bigger evil and were around before JayZ/Barneys and will be around after. Thats a perfect comparison when pointing out why the JayZ/Barneys thing is phony outrage.
#2 Which further proves my point of phony outrage. The people are nagging at one thing while overlooking a greater evil.
#3 LOL @ u reaching and losing focus.......The poster u are cheerleading for mentioned The Source because it involves the Hip Hop community.....which was the topic at hand.....U then went left and posted a NY Times article as if The Hip Hop community and the NY Times are connected. Thats hilarious. Most people I know in the hood fuk with the Daily News or the Post and you over here reaching with the NY Times. Are we talking about "large readership" as you mentioned which involves the world because thats NY Times reach....or are we talking about the Hip Hop community? NY Times articles aren't a big topic at the barbershops either.

it doesn't prove your point. 15 acts of evil happened as i typed this sentence. we pick and choose every day and it's usually the stuff that we're interested in or relates to us. is michael j fox phony for not being active in support of finding a cure for HIV? Nah, we devote our energy into certain things and hope others devote theirs how they see fit. hopefully it covers the spectrum of fukked up stuff that goes down daily
It does prove my point because I've never seen prolonged outrage in the hip hop community over sweatshops like I have with this Jayz/Barneys nonsense. You expect me to take this Jay Z/Barneys outrage serious when sweatshops are a greater evil that gets looked over by the Hip Hop community?? I cant do it. I have seen the Hip Hop community go goo goo ga ga over the most expensive Jordans tho. Those expensive Jordans that some malnourished underpaid korean put together in a dirty sweatshop. I dont take it serious when something worse has been overlooked and thats why I will point out such outrage as phony.

If you so worried about the lack of talk about sweatshops, bring it up next time you are at the barbershop. Next time they discussing the new nikes, tell em about how you feel about the sweatshops. You know you can talk about anything you want at the barbershop and you might be suprised by some of the answers you get.
LOL....But its not about me.....I'm addressing the phony outrage and calling it for what it is.....People can talk about JayZ/Barneys all they please that wont stop me from calling it what it is. I'm not concerned with sweatshops or Jay Z's deal. I look at sweatshops and Jay Z's deal as part of capitalism and consumerism.
