Did they at least have black soles? Or laces? Of course the laces would probably trigger some folks and remind them of being held in bondage. Or something. Did YOU use a black pen today? Racis’!

For atonement, I demand when they celebrate White History Month they use an all black shoe to even it out.

I don't see any common sense in this article, just some angry, race-baiting malcontents.
