Nike shares are falling Tuesday morning after the company revealed a new ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick.
The news of Kaepernick, who in 2016 decided not to stand for the national anthem to protest racial injustice, becoming the face of Nike marketing sparked some backlash from consumers on social media.
#NikeBoycott was trending on Twitter, with some people saying they were going to burn their Nike sneakers.
Burn, Baby Burn. It’s A Nike Inferno.
Burn, Baby Burn. It’s a Nike Inferno

The National Review writes about Democratic-Socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “Boston University’s Fake-o-Nomics Darling.” They put it bluntly, “It costs a pretty penny to earn a diploma in stupid.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez majored in economics, but she doesn’t seem to have learned much.
The annual list price to attend Boston University — including tuition, fees, room, and board — currently rounds out to $70,000. To acquire a degree in economics from this tony institution of higher learning, an undergrad must complete courses in calculus, microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis, empirical economics, statistics, and assorted electives.
Four years, 52 credits and nearly $300,000 later, the school promises that BU economics majors will depart “with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory” and the “empirical skills that are essential to applying economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world.”
Looks like for we “white people,” there is no hope, no chance, no place for us in the new world order as imagined by the young and the restless Socialist Democrats.
Hmmm?? What has America’s “Newspaper of Record”, the arbiter of “All the news that’s fit to print” and purveyor of “The truth [which] is more important now than ever” come to?
[Sarah Jeong] was hired, they say, for her expertise on law, technology, internet culture — and white people.
That’s her job description.
Well, okay, I added the “white people” part, though the more you read about Sarah Jeong, the recent editorial hire at The New York Times, the more you realize that she is mostly about defining people by race.
