I want to congratulate Vor, kyred and Jesobecky, for getting it!

The source of "Barack the Magic Negro" comes directly from the liberal Los Angeles Times.

www.latimes.com...

If a liberal makes a racist statement, and a conservative points it out, does it make the conservative racist?

Everytime I hear something about "Barack the Magic Negro", I hear about Rush Limbaugh, Paul Shanklin, and now FOX News, but NEVER do you hear about the liberal LA Times....Why?

I don't know if someone's mentioned this (they probably have but I didn't want to look through all the pages to find out), but "Barack the magic negro" is a parody by Paul Shanklin (who does many a political spoof), which is a spoof of "Puff, the magic dragon".
I'm sure the author of that message simply took it as a play off from that song.
A sort of inside joke.

Edit: Ok, I see someone HAS already mentioned this .

These people aren't pointing it out, they are pushing it along. Like I said, it's the intent that goes into what is said. It's kind of like the difference between a black comedian making a joke and a white comedian coming along try to say the same thing. The difference between laugh with somebody and at somebody.

As for conservative of liberal, I could care less. The LA times should be taking heat because they gave the others the idea.
