Yeah I agree Apple is just hopping on the bandwagon but to understand this situation we need to know how things went to **** like this.
The Media.
The ****ing media does a horrifically amazing job at brainwashing people and getting them to sharpen their pitchforks and light their torches.
See, when that psychotic white kid murdered those 9 people at Charleston, the media first covered that story and then almost immediately pointed the finger at something almost completely irrelevant, in this case the fact that the kid was holding a Confederate flag in one ****ing photograph.
Oh? Like we didn't already know this kid was a racist maniac with a gun and killer intentions?
Nah, "Lets just point the finger at some piece of cloth and forget the murderous psychopath responsible for the crime. As long as the people all band up with us, thing'll be fine."
Now you've got the entire nation riled up against one another because of a stupid flag. Ironically, during his interrogation, Dylann Roof claimed he murdered those 9 people in order to start a race war.
Well whether we ****ing like it or not, his main goal has been nearly achieved by a bunch of ******s with cameras and microphones.
Now total disclaimer; I really don't support Confederate flag, I'd be much happier seeing it gone than still here. To me, its the equivalent of the Swastika and everyone claiming it is important to their heritage can just eat a ****. Heritage my ***, their "heritage" is a bunch of white guys who enslaved humans and then lost an entire war to it. Some heritage.
The fact that the media managed to stir the entire nation into one ****fest of a national debate is just appalling to me.
But of course, this is America and everything we do here somehow manages to contradict something else done before.
So here's Apple caring for all those people against the Confederate flag while secretly asking them to buy their newest iPhone.
Jobs-sama, you will be dearly missed.
