Being old, I'm unfamiliar with hipsters (which, from what I've heard, is good). nojojojo at Angry Black Woman pointed up the following example.
When a 25-year-old Manhattan graduate student who was assaulted Tuesday night got dressed that morning, she probably didn’t anticipate that her T-shirt would provoke four teens into shoving her, pulling out her earphones and spitting in her face.
Then again, with a shirt sporting the slogan, “Obama is my slave,” it may have been wise to consider the possibility.
That's not even the stupidest thing about the situation.
Now she’s suing the $69 shirt’s designer, Apollo Braun, for “all he’s got,” the designer claims.
Suing the boy for her choice is typical victim mentality. And that she paid $70 for it means she seriously meant to offend.
The "designer", of course, is a dipshit too.
This isn’t Braun’s first sartorial criticism of the Democratic presidential presumptive nominee. He has also sold shirts with slogans such as “Jews Against Obama,” “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?” — which he claims was so popular, he moved 1,200 pieces.
“I can’t stand Obama,” Braun says, adding that it’s not because the Illinois senator is black. “That’s the only thing I like about him. He opens the door for other minorities.”
“He reminds me of Adolf Hitler,” Braun explained, adding he does not like Obama because “he is a Muslim” — a thoroughly debunked myth.
Still, he's smart enough to figure out who is stupid enough to pay $70 for a t-shirt...

Back in the day when there
Back in the day when I was quite young and real hipsters walked the land, none of them would have sported a tee-shirt with a phrase like that one. That was one of the rules for being considered hip. Overt racism was a no-no.
High-grade
That's some weapons-grade stoopid, there. Both of 'em.
Am I wrong for laughing at
Am I wrong for laughing at Ms. Stoopid?
No, you are not wrong, no1skate
I LMAO too, and feel nothing. Be dumb like that, don't be surprised what you get.
Well, the girl was stupid
Well, the girl was stupid but my daddy always told me that you don't kick, spit or slap people.
Your daddy is a better man
Your daddy is a better man than I'm even interested in being.
Years back there was a Klan march where a bunch of white folks decided to show and beat the sheetout of them. One of them anyway, who got separated from his crew. A Black woman threw herself over him to protect him...no thought, she said.
I was asked if I'd have helped beat him up because I thought the situation was fine as it turned out. My answer: no, but I'd have watched until the end, and if he started to squirt out the side of the pile I probably kick him back into play.
"...and if he started to
"...and if he started to squirt out the side of the pile I probably kick him back into play."
I had a good laugh when I read this line. I think my dad would have laughed, too.
On closer review...
After reading the story, I wonder if the "graduate student" actually exists. Could be the dumbass designer is just hyping a story.
Bless her!
A Black woman threw herself over him to protect him...no thought, she said.
Well, bless her! That probly taught the Klansman more than the beating did.
Yes, bless her for her
Yes, bless her for her courage and charity but I seriously doubt that the Klansman learned anything at all.
Coals!
I think it falls under this category:
I don't think it's taking unwarranted liberties to extend this admonition to "If he be getting his ass whupped, no matter how well deserved..."
