All three were heroes.

What’s often missed is that Peter Norman, the white guy on podium, encouraged Carlos and Smith to take a stand, and he was the one who had the idea to wear a glove each, since they only had one pair.

Norman’s role in the protest led to him never being selected to represent Australia again, even though he was at the peak of a brilliant career in running. He qualified for the 1972 Olympics, yet was mysteriously not picked to go.

The three men remained close friends, Carlos and Smith were pallbearers at Norman’s funeral in 2006.

(I hate to be the one making the Black rights protest about the white guy. He paid dearly for his role, and I also hate to think he’s remembered as the third wheel on that podium.)

Fuck shit I'm fucking sorry, motherfucking what now goddammit... bitch

Not really they are both far right countries that committed genocide based on their beliefs in their version of white supremacy. Zionists believe in their genetic superiority it is a supremacy movement and very much follows the same type of settler colonialist pseudoscience that fueled the justification of the genocide committed during ww2. This is worse because the world is sitting on their hands watching an entire people who were captive in an illegal occupation be systematically slaughtered while all humanitarian aid is being withheld

They released shirts of every Olympics...

The fact that the one drawing controversy sold out isn't shocking, it's not just edgelords and fascists buying it, "collectors"/scalpers are gonna be buying them up to flip as well.

It's a feedback loop, the more the media makes a big deal and ignores all the context, the more demand there would be for it.
