• Al Sharpton's going on The O'Reilly Factor tonight, presumably to discuss this. It's sure to be a productive show. [BV]
• It makes sense for Nike to make a shoe just for Native Americans, since they make Air Force Ones just for blacks. [MSNBC]
• An Egyptian antiquities expert says he doesn't know why some African Americans are all up in arms about King Tut's race, because, he says, Ancient Egyptians weren't black or Arab. [AFP]
• I think we've all seen this before. [Gawker]
• Clearly, Michael Vick is not interested in holding onto the few supporters he has left. [FOX]
Are American Indians fatter than the general populace? I find that difficult to believe. There may be more drugs and alcohol on reservations, but there are far fewer fast food joints.
Nike is messing around with a very, very slippery slope. I don't think making shoes targeted to specific races will do anything to combat obesity. Only education and better living standards will.
If King Tut wasn't black or Arab then he was what? Persian? I've never heard that theory. I think this may be a case of a modern day expert trying to re-write history.
Why is it always Al?? He is just going to make us look even worse. M'fer, I want better representation!
Speaking of a surburban italian restaurants. I was watching one of those Chef Ramsay shows - probably a rerun - where he makes over ppls kitchens and he was at an italian restaurant. The owner of the place was such a meathead guido. He kept cussing and wanting to fight. It was soooo stereotypical. I just kept saying to myself thank god they aren't at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. LOL.
So if Al acts like he's there - well then maybe it'll be a good show afterall b/c Bill will end up getting shot in the head after one of the commerical breaks.
"Um, Bill, you don't mind if I run to the bathroom during the break do you?"
Ah, "ethnic people."
Speaking of Chef Ramsay, he recently talked about how his mother used to get regular beat downs from his short-fused (pot calling kettle black), alcoholic father. I wish news outlets would cover domestic violence in the people of color. Figures don't lie. If you're any sort of "ethnic," you are far less likely to report this mess and thus, unlikely to ever escape that situation. It is after all Domestic Violence awareness month, but I guess Bill O'Reilly's racism is more important.
BMD,
I watched that episode of 'Kitchen Nightmares' last week. They were running that place like a bunch of animals. If I was dining there when that fight broke out, I would have left and never come back. People come to restaurants to eat not to be afraid.
"the Air Native N7 is designed with a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians"
Please, Nike, stop. Of the 6 pair of Nike's that I have purchased in my life, only 1 pair is actually comfortable & cushioned properly. The skateboard shoes I bought a few years back are more comfortable than the Shoxx & Air Force One's that I have. How does that happen?
Indian people,
If you want comfort get a pair of New Balance shoes. Now that's comfort!!
