A 25-year-old New York City graduate student is threatening to sue a T-Shirt designer after being assaulted for wearing one of his designs.
The woman bought a $69 shirt from Apollo Braun's Manhattan boutique that bore the words, "Obama is my slave." When she wore the shirt on Tuesday, four teenage girls accosted her - shoving her, pulling out her earphones, and spitting in her face, according to the New York edition of Metro News.
"The unnamed woman is reportedly seeking solace by suing Braun - born Doron Braunshtein - for "all he's got," the designer claims. He, of course, is shirking any responsibility for the incident and says that the shirt reflects the views of "ordinary WASPs."
“For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,” the Israeli-born designer said.
“I can’t stand Obama,” Braun says, but claims that it's not because the candidate is black. “That’s the only thing I like about him. He opens the door for other minorities.”
“He reminds me of Adolf Hitler,” Braun explained, adding he does not like the Illinois senator because “he is a Muslim” — a myth that Obama apparently cannot escape.
The designer has sold several other anti-Obama styles from his boutique, including shirts with slogans such as “Jews Against Obama,” “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?”

What's the reality?....the Media is real and creates false perceptions.

This is extremely upsetting and clearly reflective of a trend rampant in America. Everyone thinks that politics is not real, but it is. People are so swayed by what they see and hear. Why does this woman object Obama? ...exactly. She does not have a valid reason. While I do not advocate violence, what did she really expect? Professing that Obama is a slave is both racist and opprobrious. We cannot let people just drag Obama through the mud for their own person gain. We have to demonstrate our support in November and get this amazing candidate elected. We will then deal with ignorance there after, i.e. the idiot that made the shirts. (Revision)
