Mishka's Obama Black Bart : A Bad Look.

Mishka is a great brand - from their tees, to their collaborations, to their cut and sew stuff: it's all solid; That's why this tee upset me quite a bit: The first and most prominent being that, who I consider to be, Mishka's rival brand, IRAK new york, has been doing the colored bart thing for a while: originally it started out with a black bart painting their logoand it more recently evolved to a middle eastern bart doing the promo thing:For those who don't know - the beef between these two brands runs pretty deep. The second reason for the Halfway Crooks thumbs down on this tee is because although I understand where Mishka, a brand who definitely supports president-elect Obama's upcoming inauguration, was coming from with the Jeezy reference, my president is black, my lambo is blue, and I'll be god dammed if my rims aint too, the off flag colors and the 'making it rain' cliche come off a bit racist: a Russian named brand, run by white dudes in ultra-hip Williamsburg, BK, release this tee? I don't know man, I don't know.
