Now if I did a run of ‘Kill White Tee’ shirts using this graphic wouldn’t I be guilty of the same supremacy sensationalism as the New Yorker magazine? Actually, I’d like to think that the conversations my shirts would start would be more productive, but I would still be putting graphics into the public realm for people to misinterpret.
The latest flare up concerning OBAAMA indirectly has to do with the hipster designer who created a t-shirt proclaiming that ‘Obama Is My Slave’. I kind of find that funny too. The designer says that he created that shirt because that is the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant view of the Democratic party’s candidate for president.
Right there, the t-shirt designer became a shitbag. Who the fuck knows what anyone has kicking around in their head? He may be right after all, but the declaration that someone else is the supremacist and not himself is cowardly. No one should buy the designs of a coward.
I don’t feel too bad for the chick who was duffed out in Union Square NYC whiler wearing that ‘Obama Is My Slave’ t-shirt. She should have vetted her apparel designer more thoroughly instead of just buying some provactive schmatte. Now some young girls have been arrested for doing the right thing (no Spike Lee) and kicking her ass.
Let this be a lesson to anyone who has the noble intention of sparking a conversation through the use of irony. Get your shirts from a reputable source, and not some skinny jeans faggot trying to score a buck. I don’t call the designer a faggot because I think he is a homo. His sexuality isn’t even part of the debate. I call him a faggot because he is setting people up to get their asses kicked and then using a lawyer to defend his right to print bullshit on a t-shirt.
Plus, he ain’t got the irony down right.
