Lotties is on some racist shit. All mad Babylon moved in up the street. Lotties dude told Lee (owner Babylon) that he’s pissed he moved in and how lee will bring “ghetto kids” around. Lotties is trash y’all don’t know wtf you’re talm about.
Fucked up if true.
you're just going to blindly believe a brand new poster with this being their only post?
...
Edit: I have never been to lotties, never met Mike, and only know what I know through interviews I've watched or read. He seems like the kind of guy to share whatever crosses his mind, but definitely doesn't seem like a bigot. That being said, I also am still so confused as to why Nagel Nickel and Kevin Bradley would be so upset about Lotties seemingly out of nowhere after a few successful years in operation. Why all of the hate all the sudden? I think something must have happened or been said that was interpreted as racist, regardless of intention.
Two black dudes are upset at the same time, so surely something racist must have occurred. That’s really your line of thought? I’ll let you sort out the irony in making that statement, but jesus.
The reason they’re pissed is because Lotties won’t stock the Nakel’s garbage clothing company. That’s all there is to it.
Ok, aside from the fact that you didn't just show up outta nowhere for this thread, why do I have any more reason to believe that statement than the other dude's? How is what you're saying anything more than guesswork, as well? Like genuinely curious and would love for you to explain, maybe I missed something in the thread. I definitely didn't watch Nakel's rants, so maybe I missed something there, too.
However, there is no irony to be found in understanding that a skater who is not afraid to speak out against racism in skateboarding might be going live on Instagram to trash a skateshop
if the owner has said or done something that was or could be interpreted as racist.
Also important to remember that I'm not here to say this is what happened (again the key word here is
if), and I'm also not saying Mike did or said anything racist. I have no idea what happened. Please keep that in mind before replying with big emotions.
Edit: watched the live rant and if that's your evidence for thinking he's upset about not getting his brand stocked, then you're the one who needs to think about the irony of your words. If you think a black man would get upset enough to take time to talk about the struggle of the black community and to raise concerns about how black people were being actively put down in this situation, over not carrying some t shirts he made... then you should look inward, friend. Because what you're saying is "black man cries racism because his t-shirts aren't cool enough to be stocked at Lotties."
