“ Last Tuesday a 25-year-old white student was wandering around Union Square in New York when she was set upon by four black teenage girls who pushed her, pulled out her earphones, and spat in her face. She was wearing a T-shirt proclaiming “Obama is my slave” that she had bought from Apollo Braun’s Lower East Side store in Manhattan. This isn’t the first controversial T-shirt Braun has printed about the Democratic presidential hopeful, Barack Obama. His body of work includes such slogans as “Jews Against Obama”, “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?” - which he told New York’s Metro was his most popular yet.
People see in Obama what they want to see - that’s a blessing and a curse
I probably would have spat in her face, too. Good god.
UPDATE: Marenna pointed out that this was a hoax. All the same, the fact that such t-shirts out there exist is disgusting. I sincerely hope when you do see people in shirts like that, you make your opinions known. Thank you, Marenna!
