Racism is stupid. I mean, really? Come on, man. Unfortunately, we live in a world where it does exist. During these times, we need people with a voice to make it clear that there’s no room for that mess in this world. Enter Karl-Anthony Towns .
Above you will see the custom Nike Hyperdunk sneakers Karl-Anthony Towns decided to wear for this year’s Kentucky Basketball’s Alumni Game. The customs sneakers came with loud and clear messages that read “Love Trumps Hate,” as will as with an anti-racism logo noted on the toe. President Trump’s response to the recent events in Charlottesville, VA and the overall state of the country is probably the main reason why Karl-Anthony Towns opted to go with these sneakers for the event. Much respect to Karl-Anthony Towns for using his platform to deliver his message. In addition to the shoe, he also published an article on The Players’ Tribune to comment on the recent events in Charlottesville and Donald Trump’s response.
“And here?s how I try to look at what happened in Charlottesville: First, there are more of us than there are of them. There are more Americans who want to understand other people ? people who look past pigmentation ? people who talk with love that can shiver a person?s mind and soul ? and people who live to improve not only their families? lives, but the lives of every family in this beautiful country. There are more of those people than there are people who want to divide, degrade and corrupt us.”
