"Obama Mama" question--hope I don't offend anyone...

I was about to buy an "Obama Mama" maternity t-shirt, and a friend of mine said, "You're only supposed to wear that if you're black". I was like Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Am I missing something? Is it a slang term? As I said, I don't want to offend anyone, but I also don't want to walk around wearing something that people would look at me strangely for... Chat Icon

I would have NEVER taken it that way. I think whoever told you that is off base.

I can't imagine that would be true.

I see it as a mom supporting Obama. How could it only be for black people?

She said she had seen only black women wearing them--she likened it to me wearing FUBU Chat Icon

Well, she's from the Midwest, so there's no telling how far off base she is Chat Icon

Well, since Obama's Mama was white I can't imagine that he'd be offended by it.

While I don't in any way shape or form support Obama, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to support your candidate the way you want. I'm positive that shirt is meant to be worn - by ANYONE.

I am REALLY surprised someone would say that. That person is a bit close minded.
