Creator Of The, "Obama Is My Slave," Shirt Gets Kicked In The Balls
A man selling controversial t-shirts that refer to Senator Barack Obama as a slave was attacked in his New York City boutique. The man, known as “Apollo Braun,” claims that two African-American men entered his store Wednesday afternoon and shouted “Who do you call a slave, you f***ing Jew?!” before assaulting him. According to an account from his publicist, the two men worked together – one grabbed Braun’s hands while the other kicked him in the testicles.
“This is very disturbing to me that I am living in New York City and that I own a boutique for more than five and a half years [in] neighborhoods which are suppose to be the most open-minded and tolerant to any kind of art, but instead, people don’t understand me, hate me and don’t let me express myself the way everyone should be able to in New York.”

After one his consumer got a beat down for wearing one of the shirts he should of known better than to keep selling them. These shirts are very hateful and will cause a reaction, like repeated kicks to the balls(Damn that’s got to hurt).

I usually don’t condone violence but I think he got exactly what he deserved.
Someone of Jewish decent should understand racism and be sensitive to it, not celebrate it.
He chose to make the shirts in hopes of creating a media frenzy but I don’t know what he was thinking especially talking down to the future presidente like that!!

goes to show you might have freedom of speech, but sometimes dont use it or else you get a kick in the knackers.
i have the freedom to say all types of stupid things. but sometimes there are consequences. several by the sounds of it.

Man it blows my mind that he thinks freedom of speach is putting “Obama Is My Slave,” on a t-shirt.
That is some real disturbing S…
Also makes me think about all the hating that goes on every blog, youtube etc, that is really disturbing too.
I mean no wonder some people think war and that kind of freedom of speach is ok, when their mind is not correct.
Lets get it toghether people, show some love and unity.
Peace.

Nah. I can’t c/s this. Would Obama want them to respond like this? On the flipside, he should know that his “kicked in balls” probability is gonna go up 90.4525% if he’s gonna promote some offensive sh1t.

ok, a FEW of u guys commenting really ARE ignorant. OK, ok, he’s jewish…SO THE FUCK WHAT? he’s not justifying this racial shit because he’s Jewish. He considers it art as ignorant as it is, but him bein jewish has nothing to do with it. Me, i’m puerto rican, yet im not viewed as one. everybody, and i mean EVERYBODY i chill with is black, so, by NO means am i taking this fuckheds side, its just that all of u guys talkin shit about him being a jew is irrelevant, and only brings you guys down to HIS level of blanketed or just plain blatant rascism, which is the OPPOSITE of the main objective here. This is an opportunity to expose modern day hatred and do something about it, not bring it back….idk, some of you commenters need to get up on they shit and stop dropping down to that level of ignorance and start EMPOWERING people to rid the nation of this waaaaay overdone issue.

The story about a girl assaulting him was all a sham. The reporter for Metro was a friend of his and was fired, when they both came up with that story for publicity. Because in the end, there is no such thing as bad publicity, especially when you’re trying to sell a product. He’s doing it again, no one buys his shit, so he stirs shit up to get people to defend him and buy his shirts. I pass by his spot every day, and NO ONE….I mean…NO ONE, goes into his shop…he sits there in his little desk looking out the window. If you really wanna know where the shop is, it’s on Orchard Street, right off of Houston Street in the Lower East Side…next to the American Apparel where all the hipsters chill on the benches and shit…lol.
Don’t buy his stories. There are false. He’s a racist, and an awful designer looking for attention.

Here we go again. Another stupid spanish cat. Why are my people so slow when it comes to this? Hispanic/Latino is not a RACE. Its a “category” lol. Which means u can be a white hispanic, black hispanic, etc…
And Obama is HALF WHITE which means he probably has more white blood in him than MANY hispanics. Chea! For all you smart dumb cats out there!

And by the way, Realtalk, you use WAYYYY too many unnecessary COMMAS lay off that shit! Neither of the commas need to be in the blog title

@ lol….im aware of that you ignorant fuck, and for the record, youre a fucking idiot. we puerto ricans are a mixture of AFRICAN, SPANIARD & TAINO INDIAN…PUERTO RICO WAS A SLAVE COLONY, ORIGINALLY CALLED BORINQUEN, WHERE THE SPANIARDS RAPED AND PILLAGED THE LOCAL TAINO INDIANS, WHILE TRADING SLAVES THAT WERE BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE U.S. FOR SUGAR CANE. BORINQUEN STARTED AS A CUTOFF POINT FOR THE SHIPS COMING FROM AFRICA TO DROP OFF PENDING SPACE IN THIS GOD-FORSAKEN COUNTRY, SO, NO MY FRIEND, YOU HERE ARE THE IGNORANT ONE. ALSO, FYI, JEWISH ISN’T A RACE EITHER, BUT FOR THE 85% THAT ARE DUMB, DEAF & BLIND TO UNDERSTAND, I WRITE SIMPLISTICALLY. SO, YOU WANT IGNORANCE TAKE A GOOD LOOK IN THAT MIRROR, AND STOP TRYING TO HATE….ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA…JUST CAUSE YOU THINK YOU DO, JUST MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT.
