I personally don't get a kick out of it. |

It seems reasonable that some of the black community would prefer to not see their brothers walking around in these shoes IMO. | |

It's a pair of shoes that represent nothing but bad taste. People being sensitive about petty bs like this & comparing it to oppression they never even experienced is part of what's wrong with the country we live in. Too much sensitivity & political correctness. The line needs to be drawn somewhere. History is history & too often is used to create new problems that should never exist. | |
