Fox News ticker: 'Let's hope the magic negro does a good job'

What was the intent of the person who created it and what was the intent of every other person who has taken it out of context?

A fifth grader can figure this out guys...

You must not remember the 1960's very well. It was during the 1960's the "Black" came into use, replacing "Negro".

My definition of "racist" is someone who views everything in terms of race in the same manner that socialists view everything in terms of society, militarists view everything in military terms, etc.

I personally wonder what would happen if a black man had been elected Prime Minister in Britain. Then again, in a country where "the wogs begin in Calais" is still a popular saying, I think I already know - the fourth millenium would have had begun. :-)

Amazing. Fox News doesn't repeat the spin from DNC headquarters, and they're biased, bought and paid for.

But the BIG networks - the ones who really have to sweat getting their ads pulled by Madison Avenue ad agencies who are in bed with Wall Street law firms and investment banks (Obama's largest campaign contributors outside of the PLO/Saudis) - all, without exception fall in behind the Obama train, even though Blagojevich's co-location with Rezko and Obama in the Daley political slime machine had come out months before the election (during Rezko's trial) and you don't see who's really biased, bought and paid for.

When we're ALL in the 30% tax bracket to pay for Obama's "stimulus," Bush/Democrats in Congress's "bailout," and the American taxpayer's financing of the UN - then the REAL hard core racists out there will still be crowing that their man won in 2008 and the rest of us will be looking back at the Bush administration as "the good old days."

I wonder what the moderators on Fox news didn't let slip through... I imagine there were some intense insults to Obama floating around.

I did not/could not read this entire farcical thread...without laughing my perfectly toned, tight, sculpted ass off!

I think we should look at the "magical negro" reference being made. This is a reference to a Chapelle's Show reference to a black person who is this magical entity that saves the white lead in whatever movie. i.e. John Coffee in the Green Mile, Morgan Freeman in Shawshank,or Gregory Hines in whatever movie it was from the 80's...look it up-take the comedy from it that it was probably meant to relay-and get the # over it!

Now I don't personally think the "Magical Negro" is going to do much for us, but I guess it is possible...now he needs a good, catchy theme song! How about Shaft by Isaac Hayes...a true "Magical Negro". Good looking out kid!

You forgot about Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane!

MMMM MMMM BITCH!

I am the first to agree that we as nation should not tolerate the racist uneducated remarks from anyone. Our President elect is our President whether you voted for him or not and everyone needs to stand behind the system we have and support our elected officials on a united front until such time they do wrong or are voted out of office. The uneducated rmearks I also refer to are those that think that FOX is any different from the vastly predjudiced liberal media called Networks. At least there is one decent news out let that balances the rest of the vitriol and unashamedly biased garbage that comes out of CNN, HLN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and all the rest of the TURNER communist media outlets.

Like everyone stood behind Bush? Rriigghhtt. People spoke out against President Bush from the very beginning. I suppose that just because Barack Hussein Obama is part black that that changes things. He will be no savior. The wool has been pulled over alot of people's eyes over this one. Our president should have been elected based on his own merit, not the color of his skin. I will agree though that McCain was not any better a candidate. America has lost sight and gone overboard with the whole race thing. I was told by Affirmative Action last month that I need another black salesperson on my team and another woman as well but that I could kill two birds by hiring a black woman. I had no qualified black female applicant at all. I still have not hired one because I don't have any who have applied. Now we have a president who was elected based on his skin color. Black people came out in droves to vote for this man. Most of which have never even voted before and therefore should not be allowed to vote. Every single black person I spoke to about the election before it took place declared they were voting for the "Black" candidate. That why would we expect a black person to vote for a white person if a black person was running as well. It's crap.

Not true. I don't think most spoke out against him until the Patriot Act, torture, the failure to attack on time in Afghanistan, the pseudo-war in Iraq, etc.

At least that's when he lost me.
