Jobs over Gestures

[Marc Spector]

So China making big companies fall back a conspiracy theory now..Nike can criticize America but can’t criticize China. China human rights record is terrible. They openly discriminate against blacks but where is the equality campaign in China. How is that a conspiracy theory. China stockpiled masked and other medical equipment when they knew COVID-19 was coming. They literally hoarded the supplies.

Is China and Nike not aligned tho. We had a 40 page thread about the China situation on the sub forum. Readjusting China’s trade advantage will hurt Nikes bottom line plain and simple.

Lol at chinese boogeyman babble
China ain't saints but lmao at Americans fixing their mouth to say shyt about them especially since 80% of what we hear about them is propaganda

He primarily a sports dude. So he is speaking in the context of sports. If y’all want to talk about smoke. Trump is the one that gave them any type of smoke, he the one who brought the issue to the forefront politically. (fukk trump but I’m just saying).

Most of y’all just saying what about what about..it’s the same thing white people say when y’all say something about cops killing Black people. We ain’t talking about politicians...We talking about the topic at hand. Lebron and what he could do to better affect black people.

Lebron been a megastar since 9th grade...now u being disingenuous.

He is talking about economics over social justice and bashing Lebron over it.


Why would Lebron have greater impact than Wall Street financiers and lobbyists ?

If this is about "jobs over gestures" then direct your energy to these f*ckers who got a trillion dollar tax cut and rewarded for failure via government bailouts while denying black executives leadership roles ...all while trotting out #BLM hashtags


Jobs over Gestures right ?

Whitlock's basically advocating for a Republican strategy and goal that republicans themselves dont uphold nor do they ensure economically jobs at home are protected during recessions especially ones like Nike which involve a lot of mass produce. For the record I think with advancement of tech, I would prefer they try that over sweatshops but the issues are still beyond them and with CEOs who probably lean into shying away from social justice until people had enough.

Bron and Kaep's goals and initiatives are much more focused and in their hands with the schools and programs that allow black folks to have stronger graduation rates and aid and afterschool programs that communties ignore need

Its a bad faith republican argument that they tell impressionable lower and middle class Americans but historically have never followed through to the extent where job structure even for domestic workers was ever done right. He doesnt really go deep enough in his article to address the challenges with that because its a surface level argument

stop posting whitlock garbage
2 days ago kaepernick is mixed thus he can't be a leader in the black community two days later kaepernick should pressure nike to bring jobs to usa

He did go at corporate...he is saying that Lebron and other celebrities are doing corporate America’s bidding under the guise of Social Justice. Malcom X warned y’all about when white folks get involved with a movement.

Keep getting fooled by these fake woke celebrities. This shyt all a facade. So all in all Whitlock just said all these little corporate sponsored shenanigans really dnt mean shyt. It’s not real change and won’t bring about real change.

And who's bidding is Whitlock doing?

His own self interest just like your favorite woke celebs...

Except they aren't. They are doing this out of their own volition. Not some top down conspiracy.

If he wants real change then target Wall Street and the C Suite. The people who offshore the jobs in the first place but he won't do that.

Really compared Bron to a stripper

That China shyt was real. We had a real shortage of medical supplies and other stuff because the production chain was all over there. You see how China made the NBA fall back. China is a threat. Plain and simple.

Your reading comprehension fukked up. He never said the bolded. So that whole paragraph is null and void. He just said that bringing some jobs back would be more beneficial to black people.

we had a shortage early on because our leader agreed to send 17 tons of equipment to China ...

The Coli is a joke and full of brainwashed internet activists. Quick to dismiss anything that the white liberal media didn't serve to them on a platter. Hopeless.

You see it... it's worthless arguing with these dudes, most of them are just liberal shills who hate Trump. Alot of them ain't black either just know the quickest way to enjoy the culture is to get in the democratic platform.

Whitlock is right, we said this years ago... too much symbolic nonsense with nothing tangible given to the people. Trash...

Most these forums are mostly filled up of liberals and non-black liberals who just love the culture in the dark but don't fukk with the black folks in the light.

 

[Scott Larock]

One thing @Deangelo B. Is absolutely right about is that we can't just assume these companies are on our side because they make a bunch of fuss about being woke. There's money in appearing to be down with the cause, and we need to hold them accountable and not let them get free promo.

Google BLM and funding, most of their donations don't even go to black communities, look it up.

 

[philmonroe]

Whitlock has a 20 year history of being a horrible, horrible person.

But he tosses out 1 measly idea (and not an original one at that) and people want to act like he's suddenly coming around.
Fuuck Jason Whitlock and everyone on the coli is tired of his stupid fukking name being even mentioned on this board.

I mean you say he tosses out one horrible idea while also practicing what he preaches. Most of us shyt on him but he's actually done more than most of us as far as given other blacks a hand in putting them on. Some of y'all are moreso controlled by emotions and words folks say than reality.

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

I hate that POS but the general idea is actually right.

Right now the media, US corporations etc are going heavy on the symbolism precisely bc they have little to no intention of doing anything meaningful.
