"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 
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...

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 
Well, she's from the Midwest, so there's no telling how far off base she is
ETA: Not to offend people from the Midwest, of course..man, I'm digging myself 6 feet under over here

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.
