I understand the intention.
Just the execution and direction is a tad bit misguided here.

Nike has everything to do with racism. You don't support or acknowledge the value of your core base= part of the problem.i am just as confused
black people buy nike shoes so he wants Nike to listen and help out the community?
Nike has nothing to do with racism or w/e you are speaking of
It's one less child on the street to be racially profiled.
Though I grasp your argument, I'm asking you to dumb down your thought process.
I'm not expecting for whites and minorities to frolic on the beach Oct. 1... We just want awareness that racism is alive and well. We want our dollars to be valued the same way a white persons dollar is.
Money is money, yes. But, why are we not part of their reinvestments?you realize money is money to businesses right?
And if your argument was for blacks to support black businesses for a month instead of others, you'd have something
Thats why I made the thread...I'm asking everyone for help in starting a movement.

Instead of spending the money on sneakers, support a local business instead.
I admit, I'm all over the place...I suggested sneakers, NOT Nike, just because of the forum.The child still has a million chances to be racially profiled.
I totally get and understand that you want to raise awareness that racism still exists. Im just not sure if this accomplishes that goal. Nike isnt the one being racist so their involvement is puzzling.
#nosneakerseptember can be #nobigbusinessseptember, etc. I'm trying to think of ways to bring awareness. This is a sneaker forum so organically it popped up first.So there are a bunch of sneaker shops owned by African Americans in Philly; so your idea is to not buy Nikes from them for September?
Support them.What if the black owned business is a sneaker shop ?
They have black and latino employee networks, and other minority networks.Are we also making an assumption that Nike doesnt already support black communities?
I mentioned that in the other thread.and.....drumroll please.....*cymbals*
the reason why it could fail is cuz of hypebeasts/resellers buying up any **** they try to resell....they probably outnumber us
Ok. I can honestly respect that. I think my only thing with it is dragging in/capitalizing off of the Michael Brown tragedy. Especially with it not being resolved yet. I think trying to tie in that incident with this movement is what threw people off. This can be a stand alone movement without having to piggy back off of that.
Money is money, yes. But, why are we not part of their reinvestments?
And I agree...Let's support minority owned business...I asked for suggestions and help...this is just a start.

Nike's core base is minorities.Nike's core base is African American?
