So I was walking on campus today, coming from the gym…when I noticed a vendor near the crosswalk selling T-Shirts.

I glanced at the shirt but had to do a double take. I know I saw the word OBAMA but I didn’t know what the rest said.

Upon further inspection, I noticed the shirt (pictured below) and asked him….

“I’m sorry but….does that say Obama is Gangsta…while he’s holding a gun?”

Vendor: LOL Yea….funny huh?

Me: No…it’s actually not.

Vendor: Well…I’m an Obama supporter and my friend designed them. I think it’s pretty funny.

Me: Well, I guess you have to be black to understand why it’s not funny.

And I walked away.

I did manage to see a business card…the shirt is being sold a site called iMagic Wear.

I’m sorry but with all the stereotypes placed on black men, I thought that this shirt was tasteless…supporter or not, it was in bad taste.
