American racists to start burning crosses made from Nike trainers

Racists across America are updating the long-held practice of burning crosses made of wood, to burn crosses made of Nike trainers after the sports company used Colin Kaepernick in its latest advertising campaign.

The choice of Kaepernick, a black man famous for taking a knee during the national anthem in protest against police brutality against young unarmed black men, has for some reason angered large sections of the population who don’t particularly like black people.

As such, they have taken to burning the expensive apparel they’ve already paid Nike for, in a protest that demonstrates their lack of understanding of capitalist principles as much as it does their lack of understanding of societal ones.

Political analyst Simon Williams said, “They’re burning their own shoes, right? That’s like scratching your own car because BMW did something you didn’t like.
