In a recent MSNBC interview with Tamron Hall, political pundit Kate Obenshain "defends Rush Limbaugh's right to play the song Barack, the Magic Negro on his radio show". Not really the note I would end on (defending Limbaugh), but I'm also pretty sure that there is nothing funny about calling someone a "Magic Negro." In fact I'm sure of it, especially given the historic background of it (thanks Wiki). Tamron gets props for keepin it real, yet not losing her cool. Because in real life, one cannot act like their job is a Dave Chapelle skit. Apparently the song, which surfaced early last year, is still circling around the RNC like a f*cking Christmas gift in a stocking or something.
And after some research (google) it goes something like this....
(sung by an Al Sharpton impersonator, to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon)
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times they called him that
cause he's not authentic like me.
Yeah the guy from the L.A. paper
said he made guilty whites feel good
they'll vote for him and not for me
cause hes not from da hood.
See, real black men like snoop dogg
or me or Farrakhan
have talked the talk and walked the walk
not come and laid and won (not sure about this line).
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times they called him that
cause he's not authentic like me
cause hes black but not authentically.

Some say Barack's articulate
and bright and new and clean
the media sure love this guy
a white interloper's dream.
But when you vote for president
watch out and don't be fooled
don't vote the magic negro in
cause...
(then it repeats)
It's also reported that there are multiple tracks on the cd meant to be funny. One is called the Star Spanglish Banner.
My brief opinion...just flip the script for a minute. Would it be funny if the song were about you and being played and distributed to the American Public? And I'm not talking that "you", like your policies or your personal life....I'm talking about that "you", like your skin color, race and being. Would it still be just a parody?

Let them keep talking that racist stuff. Hopefully it will just increase the margins of victory for the democrats come 2012.
Me I am going to keep singing along to Young jeezy's song "My President"
Wow! I listened to the song and wow is all I can say. This is only the tip of the iceberg. It's going to get worse.
