Yes, you are. Here, in the United States, Nike stands with Black Lives Matter. Nike stands with Stop Asian Hate. Nike stands with the Latino community.

You are scared to speak up.\u201dKanter ended the video by calling out Nike\u2019s co-founder, along with LeBron James and Michael Jordan.\u00a0\u201cNike likes to say \u2018Just Do It.\u2019 Well, what are you doing about the slave labor that makes your shoes? That slave labor that makes you rich,\u201d Kanter said. \u201cTo the owner of Nike \u2014 Phil Knight \u2014 I have a message for you. How about I book plane tickets for us, let\u2019s fly to China together. We can try to visit these slave labor camps and you can see with your own eyes. LeBron James and Michael Jordan, you guys are welcome to come too. Nike must be a participant in this. Stop the hypocrisy. Stop the modern-day slavery now.\u201d\u00a0In an interview with journalist Christiane Amanpour, Kanter claimed that he asked to remove his \u201cFree Tibet\u201d sneakers before the Knicks game, though NBA commissioner Adam Silver has been supportive of his freedom of speech.
