in New York.. a woman wearing an Obama is My Slave T-Shirt.. (278 hits)
..almost got the beat down of her life. The T-shirts are being manufactured by a very sick , but business savvy entrepreneur. He sold 1,200 T-Shirts in a week. There are two paradigms at work here: One is the First Ammendment Right to free speech, and the other a Capitalist tool, supply and demand.
What would Obama do? As a Constitutional lawyer defend him..as a business person..he would defend him..as far as the personal message..Barack Obama would brush his shoulders off!!
We are all busy, but his election would benefit all of us in so many ways. Please let's get busier..professional women know that really busy people somehow always find time for one more project..because they are instinctively good at prioritizing and managing time. 5 hours only -within the 4 months is all that is being asked of us.
I think that the messaging on the shirt, not only proves that as a society we are still immature and haven’t really advanced from the early Civil Rights days. The movement and inclusive campaign continues, and I think this election will truly be the test to see if we, as a people, an African American community have formed some since of unity, despite the ridiculous sabotage, and ill-will of a select group of folk.

Love on A Two Way Street
You got that right!!and to the youngblood that said" get over it?" yes, we will be happy to if white folks who actually are awed by our superiority will take a "chill" pill and Get over it!!!
Even my son who thought I was paranoid..at 20- years- of age..got the shock of his life when he got called out of his name and not by his homies either!!!Stop trying to bury racism and deal with it, through intelligence, self-actualizaiton and political empowerment..like running for President, for instance!!!
Go in your pocket and be part of the American political system and donate to his campaign, so I don't have to hear dumb stuff like " he doesn't need my money" really? but you need his passage of laws to protect you!! in business, in housing, in education loan interest, crime, DISCRIMINATION/restitution/unfair felony laws targeted to our Black men and women!! to stop the influx of drugs, and deal with other social ills..well, he is Our President to be and it is our Responsibility to support, not the white man, of which right now is who will put him in power..so take your rightful claim to being part of it..if you want to be "equal to a white man..of course if one doesn't they can just keep shucking and jiving!! immature little children, with professional titles, civil service careers,just waiting for "massah" to tell them what to do.Don't let me get started, I am trying real hard to be "cool with it..just like he is...and my closest friends and family are getting a real dose of reality..they have said some stupid things..like I don't have time for Obama!! ok. stated by my sister/girlfriend Special Ed. Teacher..ok..don't you need funding ???Duh! Turn the eye inward...we are a great people..and thank God I have way more super intelligent, beautiful, "with it" friends that do understand the game!!
