It’s a fine line between crazy and stupid.

Yeah. It’s disgusting. They pulled it but it shows how clueless Adidas is. Jesse Jackson gets it right:

One of Adidas’ most high-profile condemnations came from the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

“The attempt to commercialize and make popular more than 200 years of human degradation, where blacks were considered three-fifths human by our Constitution is offensive, appalling and insensitive,” Jackson said in a statement Monday, prior to Adidas’s decision to withdraw them from the marketplace.

My first thought was incarceration and the US prison industry, etc. Given that we are imprisoning more people per capita than any other country in the world.
