no one asked you for a history lesson about shit we already know about black people because you have white guilt, and this is coming from a black guy.
deathwish will float antwuan longer in the name of selling product than antihero ever could with andy roy. why? because most people that buy product give a fuck about antwuan and not andy roy. antwuan doesnt have to do shit to do numbers, andy roy doesnt have that luxury.
I'd put good money down you don't know shit about stokely carmichael or the movement past a couple pbs specials. probably think bobby seales is just a man that makes really good ribs.
**quick! to the bat-wiki!**
hilarious that you mention numbers as your bottom line argument. have you ever seen twuans numbers? i mean really seen them on a spreadsheet? cause if you haven't your whole stance is speculation and you should probably chill on the absolutes.
also, you ever actually talked to julien or andy? cause if not, you really cant say what anti-hero or andy have or will do. I don't mind speculation, just chill with trying to force your opinion into the fact zone. it'll never fit kid. it's an opinion.

the companies that he rode for said all of his professionally endorsed items from decks to shoes were best sellers when they were released, did you ever see the checks antwuan was getting from royalties? a lot of people dont hit 5 figures a month in this day and age, but he did. and who made them best sellers? little kids with parents money, the same kids that dont care about andy roy. so, with your sarcastic ass 'K,' try explaining to me that andy roy has better exposure with the part of the skateboard market that actually spends money on shit compared to antwuan.
Go ahead, ill wait.
unless you really think that a kid will recognize and buy an andy roy deck before an antwuan dixon board, which that only means that youre out of touch with what the kids that actually pay for shit actually buy, then youre just out of touch with the consumers and i hope to hell you dont own a skate shop.
as a side note, you shouldnt try to be a history teacher. stick to being wrong about skateboarding.
