It happened all over the country.  People arrested, trampled, pepper sprayed, stabbed, in sum, general mayhem at malls all across America all because black people have an irrational addiction to Jordan sneakers.  Of course none of the articles specifically reference the race of the Jordan seekers, but it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.  Why doesn't this happen at Apple stores?

Why don't ghetto black people understand that they are the victims of an elaborate value-transference scheme created by Nike that sucks wealth out of the black community?

All this senseless violence for the privilege of paying $180 for a pair of sneakers.  I just don't get it.
