They probably didn't realize the significance of this date when they made the decision.

And now they'll be afraid to change the date because.. Muh racism

You’re most likely right. Meanwhile, Trump changes the date of his rally (which he should’ve just said as a New York born Republican, that It was R’s who freed the slaves in the south) but it was classy and transparent yet he still got shit on for it.

would have been amazing if he'd just twisted the knife in further by inviting, like, half a dozen black conservatives to join him onstage and talk about how rejecting the victim narrative and thinking independently has made their lives better

Democrat heads would explode

They’d just say it’s virtue signaling like always, meanwhile literally virtue signaling over everything. But, who knows maybe he will. I love the video of the round table he did with black leaders of all sectors a year or so ago, and he leads off with “I wanna start by going around to introduce ourselves for the media, I’ll start, My name is Donald John Trump and I’m the President of the United States.” Everyone there busted out laughing. I’ll try to find the link in case you haven’t seen it.

Edit: here ya go for anyone who hasn’t watched: https://youtu.be/Aas3YQKIFeY My reference starts at about 1:05 and runs about 15 seconds. Sorry on mobile and it’s a pita to share a time stamped YouTube video.

Nah. He just picks his battles. Not worth fighting the black Trump supporters who urged him to change the date. If you want to complain, complain about them.

Democrats have run LA since forever. Yet we find LAPD is the MOST RACIST THING EVER. LA is so racist that it is be good idea if black people nullify a clear verdict of guity for a violent, premeditated double murder in order to make a political statement

And yet - this is the white people's fault?

Well yeah it is the fault of libtards, but the rest of us have nothing to do with all of these cities' racist dysfunctions.

From TFA:

We're going to reveal Bronco just like we said we would on July 9," Mike Levine, Ford North America product communications manager, told the Free Press.

He said Simpson's birthdate is "purely coincidental.

Maybe there's a conservative 'Judas goat' inside Ford that set this up just for the lulz.

Thrasymachus 2 points ago +2 / -0

I seriously doubt it's a coincidence. There are a lot of days you can launch a new Ford Bronco, and picking the one that happens to share the date with the most famous incident ever involving a Ford Bronco is just not going to happen at random. It's not race-sensitive enough (he got off!) to get them in trouble, but it's it'll get them awareness you can't even pay for. While it seems like a pretty savvy marketing move on paper, doing anything race-adjacent is frankly asking for trouble these days, especially with the media willing to amplify the (otherwise hyper-minority) Twitteratti loonies if they see an advantage in doing so.

New Bronco is going to blow the FJ cruiser out of the water

1
Thedeadliestmau5 1 point ago +1 / -0

Not really a good comparison since the FJ is discontinued and ~10 years old and the Wrangler being the only remaining competition with the Bronco. I would say doubtfully better than the FJ in terms of long term value and reliability (although Ford Raptors tend to hold their value). An older FJ cruiser 4x4 can be had ~$20,000, which is a pretty good deal for a unique, reliable toyota 4x4

IMO:

for off road performance: Bronco>FJ>Wrangler

for value: Used FJ>Jeep>Bronco

for Aftermarket: Jeep>Bronco(probably)=FJ

For open top cruising: Bronco=Jeep(newest gen)>FJ

The oj edition is painted white and comes with blood stained carpets and a pair of gloves that don’t fit.

The best part about the gloves is they actually fit like they're your own

YouKnowWhatItIs87 7 points ago +7 / -0

If there’s anything good to say about that horrible situation, it was a rare instance of the National media covering a black person killing white people. That’s probably more rare than the golden Pepe I just saw at the top of this site.

Ford should embrace it.

Because black lives matter were honoring the Bronco's most famous driver with the release of the new model.

I dont give a fuck about race, but why would anyone support a criminal only because its his race? OJ, Brown, this dude that fought the police in Atlanta. If l fought 2 policemen, got the upper hand and aimed their tazer at them, i'd expect to get shot.

Sumarongi 1 point ago +1 / -0

Toyota introduced the FJ as a reaction to the explosion of the market for restorations (I.e. ICON) of the old FJ Series land cruisers. The FJ Cruiser while a great little truck, did fall short of some irreconcilable design flaws.

Ford is sort of doing the same of squeezing value of an old iconic brand, now that old broncos are climbing to the stratosphere

All the aftermarket stuff comes after being in the market for a few years. As far as value, that has to do with a fully depreciated vehicle and supply/demand and the fact they aren’t making them any more.

In terms of value, I suspect the Bronco will hold it value like a Raptor just in terms of its desirability.

Anyway we’ll see

Going to get down voted to hell over this, but I work with data for a living since before some of you were born. Coincidences like this happen all the time due to the sheer volume of significant events that occur daily. New and updated car models are typically launched in the summer. I sure wasn't aware and doubt many were of the exact anniversary of the OJ case. This being upvoted and slamming Ford just makes us look lstupid and like cucks. Of course they aren't going to change the date after they found out because anybody with half a brain knows OJ was guilty as hell and nobody cares about him.

I don't think this is worth getting outraged over. Most people have no idea about OJs arrest anniversary and seriously doubt that Ford did this deliberately with executive approval. Maybe this was pushed by some cuck at the company to make it that date without disclosing the significance. We've got bigger fish to fry. At least Ford has made an effort to manufacture in the US. Not worth throwing them under the bus for this.
