Is Angela Rye reaching with this one

[the cac mamba]

Depends on where you're at and if you're into soccer. Y'all cats keep projecting yourselves as everybody. Why doesn't anybody that knows or watch soccer seem to have a problem? Every person in this thread bytching doesn't watch soccer so of course you wouldn't know. They aren't marketing to you but those who know know what it is and that's who they are marketing to.

which is exactly my point. you have thousands and thousands of people walking by that ad every day, making no connection to soccer, just a subliminal message that that kid is a "predator". i cant help but think of how this racist fukkin country reacted to trayvon martin, and see some shyt like that and not see a connection

just my two cents

 

[Big Blue]

and this is even a completely different image. dude is clearly wearing a soccer uniform, plus its worded differently

What's so clear about the uniform??? All you see are 3 stripes. Idiots (not saying you) who don't used deductive reasoning and logic may be offended by it while other able thinking people will keep it pushing.
I bet you if Alli and Pogba were removed from the campaign, people will start crying about the lack of diversity

hey breh :jayhub: if you think shes reaching, you think shes reaching

 

[Beck.er.]

If you're not familiar with soccer or the naming convention of cleats, i could see how this would be

Which is where most Americans stand though.
If this is in a European city then the issue is her unfamiliarity with context and that's on her. If it is in the US her reaction isn't that out of line.
US ad/marketing business throws so much sht our way second guessing what they produce becomes second nature.

Even knowing what I was looking at my mind still wanted to see it as a movie/show ad (even got the itch to search Netflix)

There were three stages of this campaign on billboards and newspapers.

1st stage

2nd stage

Big Reveal!

If Tariq Nasheed made the same statement that Angela Rye made alot of yall would agree...
Now it's she needs to sit down, shes reaching...

 

[Gold]

I guess this is where I gotta defer to people born and raised here.

If I saw that add and had no idea who Pogba was or didn't watch soccer, then yes, I agree with you guys.

Outside of America tho, diff story

 

[The Villain]

She can have all of the seats on this one.

Stick to shyt you know about.

Breh, I wouldn't even argue. There's a lot of projection going on. These dudes see the giant Adidas logo on an advertising haording and automatically jump to the conclusion of "Oh, well, this must be some racist shyt"

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

The shoe is called the predator

Besides Angela being bad I don't see what people see in her. She constantly contradicts herself and race baits. She gives wypipo ammo imo

 

[Hey_zeus]

Angela be having me sometimes

If you're looking to be offended I can see how you came to that conclusion but otherwise nah. I'd at least look up the shyt to see whats what before acting all emo on some its just gotta be racist flow. Just my two cents.

 

[The Bookie]

This emotional banshee has a lot of you fooled.

She didn't do her research, and like most modern black women when confronted with facts, she will double down on her ignorance.

Cry about the word predator being used in the same vicinity as black men, like you didn't campaign for Hillary. Cognitive dissonance on a 100 thousand trillion.

How can you do bold when its split with those people too lol? Just say you don't want no smoke lol

 

[Elle Driver]

Please quote where HRC called black men super-predators

I'm waiting

My bad she actually said boys. It’s coded language nonetheless and she praised her husbands 1994 Crime Bill that has had irreparable damage on the black community and referred to young “gangs” of boys in the community (she specifically praised “community policing” from stopping them from committing bigger crimes although the war on drugs and three strikes law contradicts that) super predators that need to be brought to heel.

Here’s the video



I suggest reading Mass Incarceration: The New Jim Crow to understand why these words are so damaging to black men.
