Jordan Savagery

As most of you know this past weekend the re-release the Jordan 11's Concord sneakers  came out and so did the savages.  It was not only a frenzy but it looked like Black Friday all over again minus the cheap deals.  Oh and some reported stabbings. Today Footlocker on 34th st apparently had more in stock. I mean this line looked like a dope fiend movement in 89 straight out of New Jack City.   If you waited on line for the 11's you are either in High school or you really need to re-evaluate your life.

For me It was another embarrassing moment for any person of color.  Why do I have to criticize people who are just a fan and enjoying a collectors item or a hobby you ask?  Because it's not a hobby, collectors edition, souvenir or even concert tickets.  Most of the consumers are minority morons who make up the majority just to floss for a month and then ruin the sneaker.  People are dying for a pair of $185.00 sneakers (no really) modeled after a man who has done nothing but enjoy profits from mostly teenagers.  Alot of you who are waking up 1am to arrive at the nearest footlocker  but don't really have that kind of money.  I do and I wouldn't be caught dead on that line even if I was a zombie.  Think about it you are waiting on line for a pair of shoes that 300 people in front of you will have also. How fresher will you be than the next person?  Don't get it twisted Jordans are a very cool sneakers but does it appreciate in value?  Didn't this same model come out before?  How do you know 5yrs from now it won't drop again?  How many places can you go where you can command legitimate respect with sneakers on?

 What really makes me want to dig up Dr. King's grave is when they show the ignorant youth
 down south or in the midwest  because they will pawn their grandma's earn for some J's.  You see them showing out on news cameras talking all country and ghetto.  People may think that Jordan consumers are all types of races.  This is true but what they don't understand is that as black people we can not afford to have anymore coonery and ignorance in our community. White folks can stand on that line but the stigma will not stick like it will for a stupid minority who has real problems.  Here's a list of people who need to sit there ass down instead of waiting in the freezing cold for Jordans

1)  Your a single baby mama.

2)  You made a deal with your baby mama to cop the 11's so your off the hook with child support in the 1st quarter of 2012.

3) You use a benefit card to feed your family.

4)  You have less than $100 in the bank.

5) Your a millennium baby and you think Michael Jordan is the CEO of Nike.
