To rebel* against ~~their cushy, suburban lifestyles~~ imperialism.

Because he's dead and a rebel. Obama is alive and a conformist.

They're hoping for a signalling effect, communicating non-verbally that they're part of a certain group, probably in the hopes of getting laid.

I see lots of young (single digit) black kids wear the shirt. I think the significance is pretty clear, regardless of what he ever manages to do in office.

He makes that, 'What's going on here?' face which is difficult to capture.
