"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."

When will people just take responsibility for their own stupid actions instead of blaming others?

I know of several posters on this site who're contacting their local KKK chapters for a little organized retribution.

Dead-enders just like that woman.

Were the 4 girls members of the "new black panthers"?
I imagine there's a few posters here that will be contacting them too.

It should not happen but if you wear a shirt with a logo like that what do you think is going to happen. It's like spilling coffee in your lap and you sue for 6M like you didn't know the coffee was hot.

Give us a break.

If I wore a shirt that said "I hate black folk" down a predominately black neighborhood at night, do I bear any responsibility if I get my butt kicked?
