    Adidas JS Roundhouse Mids LOS ANGELES - Only a few days after revealing a bizarre sneaker online, Adidas has decided to squelch the design that some people have labeled as racist and insensitive to slavery. Adidas posted a Facebook photo of the JS Roundhouse Mids, a shoe that comes with a plastic shackle attached to it. The company tried to market the shoe as a trendy design that it’s wearer would not want to remove. “Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?” Adidas asked on its Facebook post. But the only game some online viewers saw was an unnecessary toying with slavery, which led Adidas to cancel the shoe’s August release. The sneaker…

  5. Argentina slaps Britain very carefully, yet hopefully 19.06.2012 Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner at the June 14 meeting of the Special Committee on decolonization of the UN has asked Britain to start a dialogue on joint management of the Falklands. For the government of David Cameron her appeals are not significant because of pro-British position of the islanders and her privileged position in the UN Security Council. What is Kirchner hoping for? If for Argentina June 14 is the day of defeat in the battle for the Falklands (or Malvinas) Islands, and for the British it is the day of victory, for the islanders it is the Falklands Li…

Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.

Fidel Castro is demonized by the US, but let it not be forgotten (or let it be learned) that Cuba played a critical role in the ending of South Afriican apartheid. Cuba fought against apartheid while the US supported apartheid. Cuba's troops were, on more than one occasion, sent to the continent of Africa to help those who were fighting against imperialist forces. Imagine Cuba's support of and America's opposition to the right to self-determination. (I know that's hard to imagine for many...)
