Designer claims unhappy customer got assaulted, now wants to sue
by metro / metro new york
JUL 17, 2008
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.
Wearing the $69 T-shirt that sparked the alleged assault, designer Apollo Braun flashes a peace sign. (Photo: )
Then again, with a shirt sporting the slogan, “Obama is my slave,” it may have been wise to consider the possibility.
Now she’s suing the $69 shirt’s designer, Apollo Braun, for “all he’s got,” the designer claims.
But the Israeli-born Braun — born Doron Braunshtein — says what allegedly happened to his now-disgruntled customer isn’t his fault — and that his outrageous design reflects not his views but those of “ordinary WASPs.”
“For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,” Braun told Metro from his five- year-old Orchard Street boutique.
Braun claims that after the customer — who did not return repeated calls from Metro — threatened to sue, he contacted his own lawyer, who assured him he was shielded by the First Amendment from any legal action.
The ugly incident over the ugly shirt took place at 8:30 p.m. in Union Square, Braun told Metro, when four African-American female teenagers accosted the student, cursed at her for her shirt and pushed her. According to the designer, the student walked away, but the girls followed her, one pulling the earphones out of her ears, another spitting in her face.
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.

Braunshtein is trying to cloud the issue, not only "WASPs" but Jews also see Obama as their slave and he obviously is. The rubbish about him being a Muslim and Hitler is just to deflect attention from the fact that he is more like a Sharon and a Begin given his speech at AIPAC. But look out for rasolowitz to decry this kind of articles as anti-Semitic for putting his masters in a bad light. LOL

What a loser! A man attends one conference in an attempt to pander for votes that he needs in key battle ground states in order to win the top spot in one of the highest offices in the world, and now he's a "slave" for it? Why, because he's Black? You self-hating radical.

Oh come now Captain America, stop apologising for charlatanry. You know this "change Washington" rhetoric was just that. There is his recent stance on NAFTA, outsourcing etc so it's certainly not about "one conference". His AIPAC groveling does, however, represent mounting evidence that he is reneging on all his promises: making a sharp dash to the center after consolidating the gullible left; if he wins he moves further right. That's politics. There is nothing self hating about pointing out the truth. There is, however, something pathetic and self-defeating about the wilful and dedicated ignorance of the Obama nuts like you... Posts: 4165 | From: jamaica | Registered: May 2008

Dude, this guy is deep man I don't know why you sensitive niglets are so scared of him. He is the political champion of this forum he really knows the in and outs and behind the scene workings of the political world.
Why don't you guys just objectively discern this dude instead of just being reactionary to him.

HOOORAY for those girls! New York City, where black pride is still alive!
First Saturday Night Live, then the Jew Yorker's front page "satirical cartoon" and now this.
The standard line for whites carpet-bombing the country with hate speech: "This isn't our view. We're just lampooning the ignoarance of whites."
Which is why whites weren't --and never are--the targets of these "jokes." Remmeber the rule folks: in order for a satire or inside-joke to be valid the target of the ridicule must be in said satire. When things like this happen the whites never are. I hope next time it's a group of black men who get theis hands on this Jew and do more than spit on him.

Do you think this is Neely Fuller's predicted "Racial Showcasing" coming to fruition on a grand scale?

^What was he supposed to do crabmaster? Was he supposed to LAUGH at the Holocaust???
According to that web page the crabmaster linked up, Obama did not actually cry at The Wall. He cried when he visited A Shrine dedicated to the Holocaust.
But we're going to have this stabworthy Idiot come on here, pretend he's black and then SLANDER Obama right before our very own eyes. What a f0cking Neanderthal! Posts: 3423 | From: the jungle - when y'all stop playing games, call me. | Registered: Jul 2006

Learn to read bozo, I didn't say he cried at wall. But are you going to answer the question? Did he cry at Elmina castle, (or even visit there as part of his campaign trail)? Or cried at the holocaust sites for aparthied victims in South Africa for that matter.

^ Good that you've clarified your statement. One would think you had a logical reason (besides being a natural arsehole) for having 3 pics of Bush, McCain and Clinton at The Wall.

It didn't need clarifying, that's what makes this so pathetic with you. All you needed to do was read the post before commenting, Bozo.

You poor negro liberals. You try so hard to skip around the gorilla in the room but somehow it keeps popping up in all the issues. I didn't create this thread remember. Don't blame me for Doron Braunshtein being Jewish; so too the New Yorker and power elite in Washington that Obama obviously has to bow down to. You are the ones in need of a scapegoat (anti-Semitism) for what's staring you idiots dead in the face.

^ Not fair Captain America, you already had your chance to answer the question. Now take up your broom and mob and beat it! LOL
Poor you Captain America, villages cannot be "murdered". This represents the total idiocy of the anti-Sudanese government campaign. If you want to argue that civilians are caught up in a civil war then fine but I don't see how anybody would benefit from "murdering villages". FYI Sudanese politics is being discussed. Maybe not the way you would like but you are more than welcome to join. However, please leave the emotions and rhetoric for your NY lefty crowd, no picture spams, bring supporting evidence for all your claims.

Not my slogan, though I have noted that if it were up to you, any genocide in Sudan can be effectively linked back to Jews somehow. As a fellow Black man, I am concerned. Why have you allowed Jewish people abroad to dictate your emotions? You are completely submissive to and dependent on the actions of an extreme minority that wouldn't directly affect you if you were more motivated to do something with your life, as opposed to making 20 posts a day on ES, all about why you hate liberals, Jews and Blacks who don't hate themselves as much as you do.

Straw man? Oh please Captain America, stop projecting as usual. I'm not the one making nonsensical claims about villages being "murdered" and genocide in Darfur and run when asked to substantiate them.

He is not Jamaican. It will not surprise me if it is Salsassin. Moreover, I highly doubt that he is Black.
