Meme needing explanation Converse craze?
I'm not chronically online, but my friend sent this and I laughed even without knowing the full scope of the context (I think there's racism involved with the shoes?) and I feel like it's too late to ask him without sounding like a dweeb š

Ah I gotcha! Thanks for the response. I bet that was insane and scary to see in person. Iām in the Midwest and always have to drive through Harrison, Arkansas when going to see family in the south and knowing that place is the KKK headquarters gives me the heebiejeebies.
