It's part of a bigger story you have clearly missed and you have missed the clue in the picture.

This is why you shouldn't make opinions based on headlines.
> "This a big deal, certainly in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, [blacks]'re like, 'wait a minute, this is cool.' He's reaching them on a level that defies and is above politics. The culture always trumps politics. And Trump understands culture like no politician I've ever seen."

They think that Trump releasing sneakers will make black people think he's cool, because they've only experienced black people through outraged clips on Fox News

The context of the discussion around sneakers was because they sold out almost immediately.

The Trump sneakers were a commercial success. Sneakerheads have been successfully reached out to sneakerheads. Many sneakerheads are black. By connecting with them through sneakers, he is connecting with them in a way beyond the way politicians usually connect. When they look at or wear the Trump sneakers, Trump is (metaphorically) physically with them.

Dont you think it's very likely that his white, conservative base purchased them, as they purchase many things connected to Trump?
Especially since most Black people vote Republican and those shoes are very ugly?

I think that there are white people who have bought the shoes, yes. However, the fox news guys point was about reaching out and connecting to inner city blacks, and one of the ways that Trump is doing this is by releasing products that appeal to that demographic.

Yes, but implying that sneakers can make black people ignore politics seems racist to me
If he had released high heels and said the same thing about women,that would seem sexist to me

It's actually the opposite, the claim was that the sneakers were helping black people engage with politics (specfically Trumps politics) on a whole different level than that delivered by other politicians.
I think if he released trump brand high heels and they sold out fast and he said that releasing high heels helped trump to connect with women on a different level than the traditional "voter/politician" level then I would consider it

"On a level above politics"
That sneakers would help Black people relate to him on a level above politics. It's racist
If he said high heels would help women relate to Trump on a level above politics, that would be sexist as well

How is it racist? Sneaker culture is huge with inner city black people.
Also I didn't say "relate to Trump on a level above politics" and I'm unsure what that even means.

I think that the subculture must organically rise before the miniature replica resin wet market can be commercially successful.
Anyway if I wanted to actually reach the Chinese I'd make trump brand waving cats.

@previous (J)They look like this
They are toys sold in Walmart and Target where you mix resin to make little replica food and items
But the resin wouldn't set and when you're exposed to unset resin, you can develop a very serious allergy that affects your ability to recieve medical care and dental care
It was a hug scandal
