Apparently "stepping on jordans in the hood" is a great prank idea

I don't think I understand what a prank is anymore. That being said, these are incredibly racist and fuck anyone who makes them or approves of them.

I think a lot of people are confused as to what a prank is. It doesn't have to amuse you to be a prank. "joy" buzzers shocked the shit out of thepperson shaking your hand. Throwing eggs at a car ruins the clear coat. Toilet papering the neighbors yard means they just have to wait until the rain disintegrates the tp. You have good pranks you can appreciate then you have brain dead idiots like Favre from Super Troopers that say "license and registration chicken fucker."
 
I apologize for jdouglas on behalf of all white people with "j___" usernames. He doesn't represent us. Honestly, I would choose JDalai Lama if I had to pick a representative.
 
Of course it is. Users can say anything they want about whites or americans on here and nothing happens.

I've noticed that especially with the recent activity in Ferguson. I'll give the mods the benefit of the doubt here and hope that not a one of them has entered this thread.
 
No one on GAF stands up for the real Americans.
That's because "lol white Americans have it so easy compared to everyone else". Whether or not one agrees with that statement, it doesn't matter. Racism is racism. If mods are going to crack down on it, they should do it for everyone, not everyone excluding whites
 
What's with this it's just shoes commentary. You step on my foot intentionally and there's gonna be problems, regardless of shoes.

This really sounds like something you should be PMing support about.

That's just your black half talking.

I'm tempted to make a post exactly like one of the several I have seen the past few weeks about a minority, LGBT, or woman and then set a stop watch to see how quickly I get banned.

I'm pretty sure mods wouldn't approve of that post. You're acting paranoid.
 
Yo, can you not say "I apologize on behalf of all white people" because, frankly, as a white person, I do not want you as my spokesperson. Quite frankly it's insulting to think that you could even say something like that. I'd choose the Dalai Lama if there was ever an option anyway.
Sorry

I apologize for all white people except jdouglas of neogaf
 
The people making these videos are idiots.

The people using these videos to confirm their own biases and laugh at people beneath themselves on the social ladder are idiots.

The people dismissing or excusing violent assault because the victims are douchebags are idiots.
 
Can't wait until the inevitable "Spitting on black people in the hood prank" then when they get knocked out; "omg what savages, this is why I don't trust black people"

then you'll have people in the thread like "Dude, its just spit. You can easily wipe it off and move on with your day. I'm never going to see them again anyway"

There's already been a "selling koolaid in the hood" prank video so you probably aren't far off.
 
still remember that "prank" when these white dudes at night went up and scared people in the hood and one pulled out a gun on them.

somebody gonna get killed like that got damn.
 
Had to stop at the "Where'd you get those?"

The thinly veiled aggressive awkwardness was so thick I almost chocked.
 
I don't think that dude meant a prank that makes white people actually explode. I thought he meant it as in an aggressive outburst or whatever.

Don't remember the name, just the avatar and the opinions

Brobuzz, right? I recognize the avatar, know nothing about the opinions.

I was just thinking that. It's fucking inevitable, the natural evolution of this bullshit. This is about as offensive as spitting in my opinion.
 
Is there a prank where all white people just suddenly explode?

That'd be cool.

Can someone explain why Jordan's are so revered? They not great looking shoes or the most expensive so I'm not sure what they have going for them
 
Sorry

I apologize for all white people except jdouglas of neogaf

I propose, as spokesperson for all white people, barring myself, you should formally discharge those "pranksters" from the white race, and demote them to "black" status, thereby clearing our good name and further soiling theirs.

Here's a good article -- Air Jordans are more than a sneaker to some blacks

“Jordans came out as a rebel sneaker,” said Jason Johnson, a shoe expert and owner of Bob’s Classic Kicks in downtown Detroit. “They were banned from the NBA because of the color. It came in as a rebel. Over the years, (Jordan) changed the whole game.”
 
Uncivilized animals will usually react with violence even if the situation doesn't require violence.

It doesn't matter if you are Black, White, Hispanic, or Asian. If you react with violence against someone that stepped on your shoes, you are an uncivilized animal

People don't even give a fuck what they say, where they say it anymore.

"Animals"...I wish I could act like this was shocking but after Ferguson (and the comments it created online) nothing shocks me anymore...

SMH

You should make a youtube video, "Ask a black guy in the hood" to find out your answer. Anything GAF tells you won't be as authentic.

They have high sneakerhead status and are released in Limited runs. Artificial supply and demand. Their value shoots up because they can be flipped for twice ther price in areas that have sneakerheads but no sneaker spots.
Also, the popularity surrounding Mike Jordan hasn't and will not die out. He's a living legend.

I don't agree with the premise of that article. Sneakerheads are beyond race. It's an obsessive and collectionist mentality to own pairs upon pairs of those sneakers, and AF1's and Air Max's and limited release kicks.
 
The people calling this video fake don't know what they're talking about. Those are genuine reactions, not WWE actors. Those fools deserved the ass kickings though, this is thinly veiled racism disguised as a prank. And not even a good one at that.
 
I did not know this was a thing and that they have been at this for a while now. It makes me really sad since I recognize a lot of the locations they do this in. Since apparently it's all fake, that makes it worse to me. I can only imagine what the seemingly thousands of people who've see this shit and even subscribe to it think of NYC. People are friendly here, 85% of the time :(. Am I crazy for thinking youtube should actively remove and block such a racist channel?

"theGrio | African American Breaking News and Opinion"

I think that's why the article is written that way.

I've never heard the "Rebel" concept though that was quoted. Seems like one persons perspective that others might share... but I'm pretty sure Jordans are popular because... Jordan. lol Both his amazing skill and the incredible marketing machine that he and others built around his name and image.
 
DennisCeeTV and OckTV are guys from NY who often work together on "prank" videos.

All of their "hood prank" videos are fake and they're all fucking racist.

They have exploited people in NY's lower-income areas and the Youtube demographic that is eager to see black people in "the hood" explode in anger and -- like the savages they are! -- violently attack people who did something harmless like ask a provocative question or step on someone's shoes.

These guys have gotten negative press from local media and congressmen for their staged scenarios that always target black people and make them look so awful to hundreds of thousands. These assholes could easily go one neighborhood over to Bensonhurst or go right across the water to Staten Island and harass Irish and Italian guys and watch them react violently... but they know that's not what their Youtube audience wants to see. They literally admitted this on a radio interview.

Fuck these guys. These videos should be banned/boycotted.

That's awful.

Was obvious just from the title of the video to me that was the likely intention and pattern to these guys.

I hope it's just naive ignorance for anyone who didn't spot the obvious racism in this thread and not intellectual dishonesty. So many obvious stereotypes in play, just from the concept itself before the video even starts.
 
Thread is ridiculous. Both 'sides' can be right at the same time:
It's fucking silly that people are willing to kill other people over shoes.
It's fucking preposterous to call it a prank when you're actually just being a jackass and ruining people's things.

It's not racist that it's in the 'hood' it's in the hood because that's where this sort of status symbol matters. Some rich kid might get pissed off and even act up but the reality is they can just go buy more, or already have more. For someone who wears them as a true status symbol it's going to be a lot more fucked up. If you think that's racist, the problem is that the hood is so vastly different in this regard than elsewhere, not that they went there to elicit the most fucked up responses.

All around? Shows how dumb everyone is, the 'pranker' (definition or not I refuse to call that a prank as it is in the common vernacular, that's just being a massive asshole) and the people that do more than just a reactionary shove.

Edit: I will say, it's racist if the only things you ever do are in the hood because it doesn't apply to you - there are just as many things that would seem ridiculous the other way. But to acknowledge that this particular 'prank' is a bigger deal in the hood than not is simply acknowledging the racial separation within our society.
 
People who think "it was a joke" is an automatic free pass to do or say whatever they want are idiots of the highest order. There's nothing funny about this. It's just people being assholes and then saying "it was a prank!" I feel bad for giving these idiots a view.

Yep.

Pretty much because Jordan was the shit and Popular an his sneakers were supposed to make you feel like you were playing as him. It irks me the whole sneakerhead culture, but I was in that culture when I was younger.
