Ikeishi! Ikeishi buadda, japalai!!!
This is in regard to Melania Trump’s choice of yellow Timberland boots on her trip with Pres. Trump to visit the troops during the Christmas holidays. The noise that has been generated over them consists of not just gossip, but blatant lies.
There was something posted on Twitter about racism on her part in this egregious spatter of pejoratives, based on her choosing to wear those boots.
From Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/melania-trump-timberland-boots-visit-troops-iraq-2018-12
That’s on one of those ‘turn off your ad blocker’ deals, so read it if you wish.
The “racist” nonsense comes from a now-defunct site called Naha Daily, which in 2014 claimed falsely that Timberland’s CEO said he didn’t want blacks or Latinos in his boots. They admitted that it was completely made up out of whole cloth – a lie, in plain English, but people are now digging it up and pointing the finger at it and saying ‘Aha!’ and making themselves far worse than they pretend Mrs. Trump is.
According to Snopes, the false remarks originated from a December 2014 article from the now defunct site Naha Daily, which cited the shoe company’s CEO saying he did not want to see “Blacks and Latinos” in the boots.
Snopes reported that a disclaimer on the Naha Daily’s site said that its content was “based off current events [in 2014] in urban culture and entertainment” and was “completely fictional.”
Got that? Completely fictional.
It is something that some moron cooked up in 2014, posted on his website, and then added a disclaimer that it was all made up out of dust bunnies and hot air and is completely fictional. Naha Daily is out of business, but this trash still shows up.
Because there are enough imbeciles on the internet to populate a small planet like Mars, this disclaimer is disregarded by them as an inconvenient fact. They ignore it and subsequently carry the lie forward, using it against someone who had nothing to do with the source of the lie.
They do this out of pure hatred toward someone who has done nothing to them but exist.
Because they are addicted to trash, they got all excited when Mrs. Obama was recently seen in a yellow split-front drapey dress that would not look good on a bone-thin runway model, wearing thigh-high streetwalker glitter boots with it. If you dare, take a look. And don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Melania Trump, on the other hand, wore sensible boots on her Christmas trip to visit troops overseas, but people still won’t lay off her.
Yes, she’s made some faux pas. We all do that, but this obnoxious trash is grasping at straws, acting out their roles as schoolyard bullies because they think it’s okay. They have the maturity of freshly-laid eggs. And even if the hen sat on them, they’d still turn out to be rotten.
I have never seen such hatred manifested toward someone simply because she exists and has done nothing to deserve it.
This poisonous, festering slop has consequences for the people who generate it and perpetuate it. Employers expect their hirees to behave like adults in an adult world. Everything is investigated now. People who do these things are telling potential employers that they are not reliable, won’t be good workers, and won’t focus on doing their jobs.
Would you like fries with that?
Oh, yeah, the title – The first word starts with “F”, and the last word starts with “A”. And it means the same thing in another language that it means in English.

Ok, Wasn’t there a Rapper called Timberland? I see A LOT of younger guys, black, white, latino and asian wearing those boots. If they were so racist, why are they wearing them?
This is like the Tommy Hilfiger Curfuffle 20 years ago. A complete lie being touted as the truth.
The lie is easier to spout than the truth.
I have a pair of Timberland boots- they’re comfortable, good arch support, relatively water resistant, and a lot lighter than the steel-toe flight boots I wore. All well and good, but we can agree that Melania Trump would make Crocs look great.
Just more noise from the chattering class, so f’em if they can’t take a joke.
I want the Danner boots that have some fake fur around the top.
They are camo. They are cute. They are waterproof and insulated, and if I get them grungy in the wetlands, they will only require a brush-off and back to business.
I can also wear them when I’m fighting space aliens.
You can have my Skechers when you pry them from my cold, dead feet 😀
Melania Has more class in the tip of her pinkie fingernail than her predecessor will have in a hundred lifetimes, she dresses very classy as well while her predecessor usually looked more fucked up than a spotted Zebra, looking at the two at once is like looking at a Ferrari next to a beat up old dump truck! And yeah, Michelle had a ’70s pimp look in that gown and boots, the only thing missing was a feather boa, but I’m sure that’s the one that Jimmy Janos stole!
How come you aren’t yelling ‘My eyes! My eyes!!”, API ?
I almost choked laughing when I saw that godawful dress, and then the photo of those boots next to it – over the edge and all downhill from there.
Don’t look at me. I usually wear a good pair of Ariats on my days off. At work it’s steel-toe Warrington zip-ups in the winter and lace-up Danners during fire season. The Danners are a new thing for me, having switched from Nicks this past summer.
Besides, Nike and Adidas use 3rd-world child sweatshop labor for their products, and I don’t see the lefties swooning and clutching their pearls over that shit.
WTF is all that glitter shit on MO? That dress is FUGLY. Just like her.
Those are the thigh-high streetwalker glitter boots mentioned in my article.
That broad has the worst taste in clothing, ever.
But since she’s married to B. Hussein 0bama the mess media will never cease to swoon, fawn, slobber and drool over her every action, those boots looked about as classy as a cRap video!
It’s all aboot going after the POTUS and his family. The Pres shouldn’t give a boot about what these asshole peeps have to say. How aboot booting these shitbird peeps to canada, the ones who threatened to move to canada if Pres. Trump was elected, and bugle boots and saddles as they leave.
I agree it’s pretty stupid for anyone to care or get upset about what FLOTUS wears…
Oh.
Ah, now I understand.
Michelle Obama had some rather mean-spirited gaffes under her belt, like opining that she wasn’t proud of her country until her husband became its president. By the same token, you can’t deny that the media absolutely fawned over her.
If you want to debate the merits of Michelle Obama or Melania Trump, that’s one thing.
If you want to criticize either’s fashion choices, that’s stupid.
If you want to mock people for criticizing one’s fashion choices while criticizing the other’s fashion choices, that’s some next-level kind of stupid, not to mention hypocritical.
You show again you are the resident stupid proglodyte here, since you completely missed the whole point of PH-2’s article. She was criticizing the media, not Mooche’s fashion choices.
No, it’s not stupid. If you dress like a slob, people think you’re a slob.
If you dress like overpriced trash, well….
Somebody here points out the obvious – that the current First Lady looks and acts like a lady while the previous First Lady often did/does not, as the media criticizes the former constantly and continues to fawn over the latter, and WE are the hypocrites? No.
I, for one, did not and still don’t want to criticize the former First Lady for her fashion decisions because I just don’t care about them. What I DO care about is the hypocrisy of the media. And the left in general. The gushing they did and do over every goofy looking outfit MO puts on is just silly.
Remember her infamous “All THIS for a flag?”
MO is “Full of sound and fury signifying nothing.”
I wish the boots covered her loud mouth!
LC, you have to be as thick as a plank sometimes.
The purpose of this was to track down the origin of the BS spread all over the internet that Tinberland boots are racist, when the idiot who wrote that IN 2014 said that it was fiction.
Sometimes, you do get stuff, but this time, not so much.
This has nothing to do with fashion, you mope. If you don’t like my tossing in the link to the article about Mrs. Trump’s choices vs. Mrs. Obama’s choices, it has nothing to do with what they wore and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that the media will drool over Mrs. Obama, no matter what godawful thing she says or does, and yet they’ll slam Mrs. Trump for NOTHING.
Try to get that into your head.
This isn’t about fashion.
It’s about the media’s prejudice.
“As thick as two short planks” is the way I heard it in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne … donkey’s years ago (1978).
Best work boots I’ve owned in the last two decades have been Timberland boots.
I don’t give a shit who wears them.
Ex, good job tracking down the original source of the racist Timberland stuff. I started down that path but ran out of patience early what with all the Twitter craziness. Most news sources seemed to be reporting on the racist tweet more because they wanted it to be true instead of confirming it actually was true.
Also, for what it’s worth, Business Insider can take a flying leap with their ad-block policy. Those who pay attention to such things might remember that BI was started by Henry Blodget, a disgraced former stock analyst who was caught lying to investors. The company is now owned by the giant German conglomerate Axel Springer.
And it’s not as if German journalism has a reputation for integrity. One recent German press scandal involves the magazine Der Spiegel, and how one of its star writers, Claas Relotius, did a completely bogus piece about Trump supporters in the small town of Fergus Falls, Minnesota. As it happens, Relotius’ latest story was not an isolated incident. Over a period of years he had written a long series of fake or partially-fake stories which seemed to all share an anti-American theme. It might also be mentioned that Relotius was named CNN’s “Journalist of the Year” in 2014:

Sorry if I wandered off topic…
I’m tired of this stuff. When does it end? OK, the Donald is rude and crude on occasion. He also loves this country and his actions demonstrate this.
Melania is truly a class act but gets endless criticism from the left.
The previous occupants to My House? A community hustler and whatever it is he married.
I despise the Republican Party for their almost criminal behavior in the selection of a candidate. The election was open for the taking once but the Republicans had constructed a circular firing squad and couldn’t stop knocking each other over. Poor candidate selection and poor execution and we ended up with chuckle boy and his wife who seemingly hated this country.
I’m tired
Garble?
Yup. I think it was Jimmy Kimmel who was making fun of Melania’s accent.
Dear Jimmy, et al: she speaks FIVE languages. Fluently. You clowns are barely coherent in one.
You should have stayed on KROQ, dipshit.
Not only is she fluent in five languages, she grew up under communism and knows the consequences of what the commie left is trying to pimp on the USA!
-that- is why they hate her, as an Apostate.
It’s nice to see someone wearing Tenderthugs that isn’t involved in selling drugs or committing an assault with a deadly weapon.
Melania is a very beautiful woman that seems to have a very keen eye for fashion, and dressed for the occasion (Hell, it was the Middle East).
The MSM probably expected her to show up dressed up in an evening gown and 6″ stiletto heels… and got all butt hurt over here appearance.
stiletto heels?? Hell, Mooch would need telephone poles to keep her ass up…
The MSM would have bitched about her choice of footwear no matter what she chose to wear.
Great article Ex-PH2. I could care less what the First Lady wears as long as she pays for it.
Mr. Obama’s husband, Michelle has always looked strangely “mannish” and just plain ugly. She needs to dress like a woman and leave off with the big yellow shower curtains. Especially one that would almost, almost mind you, cover Oprah.
Thank you.
The media like to go after bullies, but they seem to me to be the biggest bullies on the planet. I figure they have what used to be called a comeuppance coming at them, one of these days.
FLOTUS would look hot in a burlap sack and hospital slippers…. Mooch is Sasquatch’s ugly “sister” and would like like crap by comparison, no matter what she wore.. anytime I see a pic of her (and hell no, I’m not looking at that link… it’s probably her normal attire anyway), I can’t help but think about Eddie Murphy’s skit about “Aunt Bunnie falling down the steps”… that describes the Mooch to a “T”…
walk into the House and say “bitch”. I’ll wait!
Did they subpoena you? Good! You said it right!
– Mr Robinson goes to Washington.
A Classy Lady. The FLOTUS. Wife of President Donald Trump. Eats you up, don’t it news media types?
I’ll say it again: President Donald Trump.
Just think, if the bitch of Benghazi had of won, blow job willie would be flotus.
