This story just goes to show how ignorant some people are... According to LiveSteez.com :
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 cant stand Obama, Braun says, but claims that it's not because the candidate is black. Thats 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?
