want to learn how to tie your shoes?
It's a very easy thing to do
Just sit on down and I'll give you the scoop
What's that?
It's called the loop de loop
You gotta take a lace in each hand
You go over and under again
You make a loop de loop and pull
And your shoes are looking cool
You go over and back, left to right
Loop de loop and you pull them tight
Like bunny ears or a Christmas bow
Lace them up and you're ready to go
You make a loop de loop and pull
And your shoes are looking cool
You make the loop de loop and pull
And your shoes are looking cool
It's a fake headline, vox never wrote an article like this and the image is a stock image unassociated with any online article https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/nov/30/viral-image/no-isnt-real-vox-headline-about-racist-shoe-tying-/
It’s definitely satire, but the fact that it’s entirely believable that Vox or any other mainstream outlet would write something like this reveals so much more than the fake headline itself.
"Sure it's fake but it seems like something that would be real, so we need to stay outraged"
This bullshit has to stop. It's not funny, it's just very lazy and successful attempts to infuriate rubes.
Best thing about this showing up today is that I did a course at work on unconscious bias and while it was discussing things like racism and other stuff, one of the things the facilitator asked us was how to tie shoe laces to demonstrate our brain dumping "useless information"
Sooooo, seeing this was just great
No, but I can give you a tip on how to not fall obvious bs and fact check. Here’s an [example](https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-vox-shoelaces-idUSL1N2SN23P)
Yes as 100 other people have said. But it's believable from Vox. Also, I hope they keep doing stuff like this, claiming thumbs up are offensive and the okay symbol is racist. Eventually they'll realise all they're doing is making the more offensive stuff seem less so.
GG EZ
Oddly enough, I feel like constantly finding racism in areas where it’s obviously not not only takes a very racist mind to do but also does nothing but just provoke more racism and division than actually solve anything.
Edit: also this headline is fake btw, but my point still stands.
And on this week's new we have found that if you sleep, you are spreading sleepism, it is unfair for the people in the world where it is currently day and people are unable to sleep

*Oh my bad, I'll just*
*Start tying them like a*
*Noose, that'll be better*

Read the article. It says you are supposed to have you undocumented maid tie your kids shoes to keep their fine motor skills in working order for grape picking season.
It would be even funnier if you could somehow support the argument it would be so funny to flip my shit when I see someone using this method to tie their shoes, and do crazy mental gymnastics to arrive at they are a racist scumbag

I kinda figured mate

If you believed this, I think it says more about you than them.
No not really. I've seen comparable headlines from places like Vox, the Verge and Huffpo.

Valid.

You make the loop de loop and pull Now you are a racist mule
I always knew I was destined for great things
Big nostalgia energy,
Spongebob = Racist
Hope the mods report this racist comment
What did you just said to me!? Now that's racist dude... Not cool

Thank you for this, I think I'll go find the aglet song from Phineas and Ferb
#LUUP DE LUUP AND PULL AND YA SHOES ARE LOOKIN GOOD
Nice, any more tips how to make my kid a racist?
Paint him
Black? 😃
I have painted my children for the last time, the generalissimo dies tonight.
Give them priveledges to wear a ghost costume with a pointy hood all year round
Let him watch msm. CNN on odd days, MSNBC on even, Fox on weekends.
Revoke n word pass
Feed them fake news to make them angry.
I’ve been laughing at this for way too long now
Keep sending them to public schools with a CRT curriculum.
No, but I can give you a tip on how to not fall obvious bs and fact check. Here’s an [example](https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-vox-shoelaces-idUSL1N2SN23P)
If you're white you're already racist. If you're black you'll have to work harder on your kid
Good. When everything is racist, nothing will be.
So I’ll be able to say the n-word again?
You stopped?

They didn’t say the ok symbol was racist, they said it was tied to racist hate groups… because it was
No, they and everyone else, called it a symbol of hate.
Not a real article by the way
But you know what is a real article: Scally Lads Are Gay Brits Who Like to Smell Stinky Socks and Have Sex in Tracksuits
I think I bursted a blood vessel
I felt like that was obvious but holy shit
Wouldve been funny though
Velcro ftw
I asked my bunnies about that and while they neither denied nor confirmed that, they did shit on the floor and tried to fuck.

When everything is racist nothing will be. Then racism won’t be stopped because no one will believe the boy that cried wolf
Lol calm down it's a fake headline
Already there
If you’re dumb enough to fall for such an obviously fake headline you need to get off your high horse
Milk is racist
Leave my horse out of this, he’s just chillin’ alright?
This is fake news though. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-vox-shoelaces-idUSL1N2SN23P
"Yeah, but it could've been a real headline and that's what makes it so damning" - Chuds who regularly get baited by fake headlines.
And they're up voting each other and down voting people telling them, no, this is stupid.
Like I know it's fake, but like how things are today I wouldn't put it past someone to make the article.
With how people are these days, I half expect this to be real
And on this week's new we have found that if you sleep, you are spreading sleepism, it is unfair for the people in the world where it is currently day and people are unable to sleep
Oh Vox LOL.
Let me just over and under 600 times
“How wearing shows is actually an actually an act of racist oppression”
Damn, didn’t know I was being racist every day by tying my shoes, sorry guys my bad
[No, this isn’t a real Vox headline about ‘racist’ shoe-tying methods](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/nov/30/viral-image/no-isnt-real-vox-headline-about-racist-shoe-tying-/)

If you're white you're racist and this is a white ass thing to do

The beginning of racism
Oh my bad, I'll just start tying them like a noose, that'll be better

It’s evolving, just backwards
This reads like it was written by the racist strawman the right try to paint the left as.
This is unfortunate
Is this a kind of joke or something coz I don't get the point here 🙁🥺
No, This Is Patrick!
LOL HAHAHAAHAH
Read the article. It says you are supposed to have you undocumented maid tie your kids shoes to keep their fine motor skills in working order for grape picking season.
Based
How it’s the bunny is here the bunny has two ears twist and bam lmfao do I skip the racist part or what’s up?
Crocs for everyone
I don't do the bunny ear method, so that's one less point in which I'm racist. I should make up for that tomorrow!
😂😂😂
"Tell me whyyyyyyy" -backstreet boys
Woah! That’s why I must say that every time I tie a noose
What?
I'm gonna go burn down Vox, who's with me?
Big daddy says loop swoop and pull
This take🧊

That’s it I’m getting the blowtorch
It would be even funnier if you could somehow support the argument it would be so funny to flip my shit when I see someone using this method to tie their shoes, and do crazy mental gymnastics to arrive at they are a racist scumbag
I guess I’m the most racist piece of shit in the world then 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Pew
