While writing that last post about the Apollo Braun / Obama “Slave” shirt controversy, I had a Rodney King moment where I couldn’t help asking myself “Why can’t we all just get along?” Hence, allow me to present the Jewlicious Obama Slave shirt – one that’s meant to be fun, a little provocative and not too offensive. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States works out every morning and, it has been noted, is kinda buff for a politician. This shirt, presented in the same spirit as the “I Got a Crush on Obama” video, represents the lust, both figurative and literal, that many have for the man who is well on his way to being the next President of the United States. The design is available on a wide variety of shirts and proceeds will go to the UCLA chapter of Challah For Hunger for baking equipment! The UCLA members will then bake Challah, sell it and use the proceeds for Darfurian refugee relief.
We are allowed to have some fun here once in a while aren’t we? Click here or on the shirt to place your order today.
Note to the Irony impaired: This post is satire. We do not support racism of any kind and neither Hazon nor Challah For Hunger have approved this content. Duh.

As a Graduate student at George Washington University’s Elliott School for International Affairs, and as a Jew, I am appalled by this shirt. It is so offensive I am stunned speechless. I have to agree with “melody”, would Jews like to see a shirt making fun of the Holocaust? Slavery isn’t funny, and to think you can make a joke off of it without offending others is utterly naive. This shirt will only harm our image.
You ask, “We are allowed to have fun here right?”
So let’s see if a Black guy in NYC was selling shirts that said:
“My bling comes from Holocaust victims”
Is that fun?
ck is a big guy.
Och, a lot of women use such stuff – there are creams, little capsules with essences in them (most expensive, but not necessarily most effective), roll-ons, roll-ons with massage heads, …
ck has already given me his number in case I get into trouble. Isn’t that cute?
Trust me, you kind of did after the breast firming cream discussion. 😉
Middle, I’ve got one more reason now to travel to NYC incognito. 🙂
I can see this shirt improving black-Jewish community relations in the US.
Boy, am I glad I’m anonymous.
