Here’s the thing about having to be on the right side of every issue.You’re going to want to get some decent footwear. If you need to spend a little, it’ll pay off when you amortize the cost across numerous public protest marches.

Black people have had a second class ride in America. It’s gotten better, but young black men in particular still get shitty treatment from the police. Some cops greatly abuse their authority and then it’s probably not so bad that white people get outraged on Facebook or take to the streets in the seasons new scarves to hold up some pretty well made placards to protest police beatings and shootings. But it’s important to pick your battles. When you’re sitting at your indie coffee house texting your friends about what you’re going to wear to the protest, somebody ought say, wait, what if this was actually a just grand jury finding? What if I, who have no strict evidence of the case whatsoever, am not in a position to cry foul over a group of men and women who did carefully review evidence and sworn testimony? What if Michael Brown was not going to college to study environmental sciences to rid the planet of greenhouse gases after all? But, fuck, these boots do look nice. #FightThePower #SkinnyJeansinWinter
