Tariffs Should Only Apply to White People Stuff

Yo, what’s good? It’s your boy Thad, here to break down why Trump’s tariffs are straight up racist. Here’s the deal: the president’s new tariffs are hiking up prices on things that Black people love, like Nikes and iPhones. And let me tell you, that’s some BS.

I mean, think about it – who even needs affordable electronics or sneakers? Definitely not white people, right? They’re too busy sipping pumpkin spice lattes and gentrifying neighborhoods to care about a few extra bucks on their latest iPhone upgrade. But for us? It’s a whole different story.

When Trump slaps tariffs on Chinese imports, he’s basically telling Black folks to stop supporting brands that cater to our culture. Like, how am I supposed to flex in my Yeezys if they cost an arm and a leg now? It’s not fair, man.

And don’t even get me started on the economic impact this will have on our communities. When we can’t afford the latest drops, it hits our local economies hard. Mom-and-pop shops that rely on sneaker resales are gonna struggle, and that means fewer jobs for Black youth, and that means more Karmelo Anthonys murdering people in self defense. Gentle Reminder.

But here’s the thing – we can’t just sit back and let this happen. We need to demand that the government targets tariffs at white people stuff instead. Like, why aren’t we taxing the hell out of kombucha or artisanal cheese? Those are the real luxury goods, am I right?

If Trump wants to make America great again, he needs to focus on ruining things that matter to white folks. Leave our culture alone, man. It’s not like we’re hogging all the wealth anyway – we just want to look fresh and feel good about ourselves. Is that too much to ask?

So, let’s get loud and make some noise. Tell your representatives that enough is enough. Tariffs should only apply to white people stuff, period. Anything else is straight up racist, and we won’t stand for it. It’s time to fight back and make our voices heard. Gentle Reminder. Gentle Reminder.
