"OBAMA IS MY SLAVE"

Alas, freedom of speech but er DAMMMN! So we all have our beliefs, and moral standings blah, blah blah. I just can't fathom why one would want to start a smear campaign of sorts without the proper evidence. So the photo preceding this post is of a man named Apollo Braun. He's a unique designer with a boutique in the L.E.S and i've had the pleasure of working with him. He actually brought 20 pieces of my custom T-shirts. Anyway, this is how I know the guy and before I continue let me say he's a wonderful person.

My issue is with this T-shirt of his (shown above). Its just very courageous for a white man to wear a shirt saying anyone is his slave, but when said person is the democratic candidate for the presidency in our dear ole US of A its startling. Im more for freedom of speech and expression than most people I encounter, but whats the basis for this one? Apollo claims that his beef with Obama doesnt come from his being black, that seems to be his favorite thing. His claims are that Obama is a muslim (false, false). He has even made it his business to compare Obama to Hitler! It's unfortunate that this man has not even made into office and all everyone can do is criticize him for what he has yet to do.

Alot of folks do seem to believe that Obama is going to be a slave of sorts. Saying he is likely to just be a puppet or mouthpeice for congress. Why arent we dealing with one issue at a time? I dont like to get into politics to much because frankly they dont benefit me any! im just sure we all know who ever steps foot into this presidency is being dealt a bum hand anyway. Its going to take terms to clean this country up. So shouldnt we just let the praises resound for those who are up to the challenge? UGH, im over this topic but Apollo I do love your work! And as an artist I respect that you do what you're suppose to do by invoking anger and critiques and making people react. one thing you do have to understand is that your whole anti-Barack mission was born on a foundation of fiction!

*Sigh*
