That would surely stir things... haha

That face and the way he has that little girl by the back of the head dose not make a good pic.

It seems you can put down Bush, but not Obama.

I dunno, i've been called a "White Cunt" (excuse the c word as i'm trying to prove my point) by a black person before and i'm sure he meant it in a racist way.

As for your T Shirt the only way to test if it passes as non racist is to wear it on a run through central park NY at about 10pm on a Saturday night.

If running isn't your thing you could always walk through Harlem with it on and see how it goes.

My guess is that they will find it racist and we'll find you in the paper the next day.

I gave a yes because its amusing/controversial and a funny thing to see online (and I showed it to my obama hating friends & family and they laughed)

However, I would never want to be seen with anyone wearing that lol. I get the jokes, but I'm neither a hater or lover of obama, not democratic or republican, I don't care much.
But yea the shirt would be awkward. There's some shirts out there I think are awesome (someone mentioned pedo bear, I know a place that sells just a shirt with a huge pedo bear graphic, and think its hilariously awesome) but i would never want anyone I knew to have that shirt lol, same with yours.. just too awkward of a change to offend people. But I admit I'm a huge chicken & pacifist when it comes to people. Although I love seeing controversial things, weird eh?

lol nice.


I after looking over revelations and the four horseman .. the white horseman of the apocalypse is actually the anti christ .. the black horseman represents famine.. i was shooting for the white horseman ..


So the new text will say

Obama:
The White...err...Half White Horseman of the Apocalypse.

what do you guys think of that?

people can only take it half racists that way ..lol which i never had any racist intentions anyways ..

I like it :) makes it more intelligent that way since its more accurate to the bible story.

Even if you don't like Obama, only the extreme crazies are the ones who think he's the antichrist (and ive read about the real people who think that haha) so its obviously a joke. I mean, I hope no one here actually thinks that..

Its more funny with the half white thing instead of the word 'black' that might offend, too.

I find your statement that black people will move to murder over a t-shirt the most racist thing I've read in this thread.. Would you be more offended by a shirt or someone insinuating your race is a bunch of overreacting murderers?
