IS 'BARACK THE MAGIC NEGRO' RACIST?
Just imagine a satiric song “George the White Decider” or “George the White Christian” where George marches off to war, always follows his gut-instinct, blah, blah. Aren’t there are some great satiric possibilities here? But, whaa? Why “White”? Doesn’t that make the imaginary satire way, way weird, racist, and childishly ugly?

Commentaries on this site about the song “Barack the Magic Negro” have been appallingly sad. We already know voters like magnetic personalities. Many, many magnetic personalities have gone on to be President. And I know it’s possible to find a certain percentage of silly people who subconsciously respond to a comic-book Obama, the “Magic Negro” who operates on white “fantasies of curative black benevolence,” and who is “here to help”. It’s still appalling that others have bent that sad artifact into a song of racist glee. Obama’s election was a sweep. Get over it.
