"Barack The Magic Negro" Prompts Jockeying Among RNC Hopefuls"
On Friday, the news broke that former Tennessee GOP leader Chip Saltsman, who ran Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign, had distributed a CD to Republican National Committee members for Christmas featuring a song called "Barack the Magic Negro."
Saltsman hopes to become RNC chairman. The current chair, Robert M. "Mike" Duncan, who is seeking another term, said he was "shocked and appalled (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/12/27/politics/main4687726.shtml)" by the decision to send the CD, which also included songs like "Love Client #9" and "Down on the Farm with Al Gore."
"Barack the Magic Negro" is a parody set to the music of "Puff The Magic Dragon" and sung by an Al Sharpton imitator; it references a Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,?coll=la-opinion-center) column of the same name.
"Yeah the guy from the LA paper said [Obama] made guilty whites feel good," the Sharpton-imitator sings on the track, which aired on Rush Limbaugh's radio show. "They'll vote for him and not for me 'cause he's not from the hood."
You can hear the whole thing here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxYDnYTvmfU&e/).
Saltsman has defended his decision to send the CD, releasing a statement saying that "our party leaders should...refuse to pander to [the media's] desire for scandal."
And former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell – who is black, as well as perhaps the leading contender for the RNC position – has come to Saltsman's defense, knocking "hypersensitivity in the press regarding matters of race."
"When looked at in the proper context, these concerns are minimal," he said (http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1208/Blackell_defends_Saltsman.html?showall). "All of my competitors for this leadership post are fine people."
This morning, however, Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer, who has reportedly been mulling a run for the RNC chair, released a statement supporting candidates for the chairmanship who have taken a "firm position" on Saltsman's decision to distribute the "racially-insulting song":
“As the GOP Chairman in one of our nation’s most ethnically and culturally diverse states, I am especially disappointed by the inappropriate words and actions we’ve seen over the past few days," he said. "I am proud of those party leaders who have stood up in firm opposition to this type of behavior."
"Actions such as the distribution of this CD, regardless of intent, only serves to promote divisiveness and distracts us from our common goal of building our party," added Greer.
Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis, who is also seeking the top GOP post, has criticized Saltsman as well.
"In my opinion, this isn't funny and its in bad taste," he said. "Just as important, anything that paints the GOP as being motivated in our criticism of President-elect Obama by anything other than a difference in philosophy does a disservice to our party."
In related news, RNC members will hold a special candidates' forum to help them make sense of the crowded field of contenders for the top job on January 7th (http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/rnc-members-call-unprecedented-special-meeting-2008-12-28.html).

Saltsman didn't create the song, some guy named Paul Shanklin did for an album HE made. Rush Limbaugh aired it on his showed, starting the initial controversy.
Article dated: March 2007
Obama the 'Magic Negro'
The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.
By David Ehrenstein, L.A.-based DAVID EHRENSTEIN writes about Hollywood and politics.
March 19, 2007
AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.
But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."
The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro .
He's there to assuage white "guilt" (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.
As might be expected, this figure is chiefly cinematic — embodied by such noted performers as Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, Scatman Crothers, Michael Clarke Duncan, Will Smith and, most recently, Don Cheadle. And that's not to mention a certain basketball player whose very nickname is "Magic."

What's in the opinion column and the song are two very different ideas; you can consider both to be legitimate, but to say that the song simply reproduces what's stated in the column is wrong.
The main point of the opinion column is that there's an expectation of racial reconciliation in the figure of Obama, and his character allows many to project many things onto it. The writer views this in a racial context, but most very good politicians, such as Reagan or Clinton, are able to pull this trick as well.
The point about "authenticity" which is the main part of the song, is not considered by the writer to be a legitimate question, and has nothing to do with serious questioning of Obama's record and his policies.
The only mud that momentarily stuck was criticism (white and black alike) concerning Obama's alleged "inauthenticty," as compared to such sterling examples of "genuine" blackness as Al Sharpton and Snoop Dogg. Speaking as an African American whose last name has led to his racial "credentials" being challenged — often several times a day — I know how pesky this sort of thing can be.
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,5335087.story?coll=la-opinion-center
The song, on the other hand, is entirely in the voice of a latter day Kingfish, whose only point is the one that Ehrenstein dismisses. The point of the song is to laugh at two characters, Obama, who is not authentically "black" enough, and also the Kingfish character, a lazy, shiftless character who doesn't consider Obama as "black" as he is.

The republican party is going down the shitter in style. Seriously, WTF happened to you guys? This, Bush, the elections, Palin, the scandals...you guys are fucking up big time.
Seriously, its at a point where I cant help but laugh at how openly low brow the party has fallen.
A good hint that wont be followed for the fiscal conservatives = Get rid of the nutjobs in your party, and DISTANCE yourself from southern repubs at all costs. Your problems started when elements of your party started referring to the religious and social-right wing as your parties 'base', over the fiscal conservative and social moderates. They are single handedly turning your party into a fringe movement...or even worst, a loose coalition of differently minded groups whos only commonality is disliking the other side. Youre becoming another version of the 1970-2004 democratic party.
I'd actually heard about this, but not heard the song.
Yep pretty much. The song isn't so much racist as offensive I think, and its poking fun at the Sharpton's of the US not really the prez elect.

Exactly. The song itself is just in bad taste for someone that high up in politics to be dealing with, but it's ultimately really making more fun of Sharpton.

The point of the song is to laugh at two characters, Obama, who is not authentically "black" enough, and also the Kingfish character, a lazy, shiftless character who doesn't consider Obama as "black" as he is.
Great points that cut to the heart of the issue. There's no doubt Obama and his team worked hard to preserve his persona as a cool headed politician in order not to be pinned as that "angry black candidate". Obama is neither angry nor magical. He maximized his blackness and his political shrewdness for a "junior Senator" out trumped the Clinton political machine and the RNC. How he governs won't be a fairyland filled with wishes without sacrifice (Bush NEVER asked for REAL sacrifice...). At the end of the day, he is just a man.
The song is another bitter and pathetic attempt at baiting Obama. The Republican establishment has been keen on pointing out double standards but the lack of intellectual nuance and the blunt edged tool of evoking primal passions has grown tiring and infantile in the light of the real challenges facing us.
It's twistedly sad and depressing that even after one of their most devastating defeats in Congress (Al Fucking Franken to top it off), they're still living in the battlefield on the case of electing Obama.
America needs strong leadership from all ideological persuasions. Not fucking crybabies who weren't allowed to play the race card and lost seats along the way because they couldn't sell their plan for our future with their work of the last seven years as evidence for all to see. Mark my words, Republican revisionists will claim that McCain not using Jeremiah Wright card will be a debacle on par with pulling out of Vietnam on the cusp of victory...
Just satire?? Really? I guess blackface is satirical art.

Its so funny to see how over sensitive people are becoming to race. Exactly the opposite of what you'd expect when the country just hired a bi-racial man to lead them. And lets just look at the lyrics of that song, just for posterity.
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 makes guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him, and not for me
‘Cause he’s not from the hood.
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!
[refrain] Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Some say Barack’s “articulate”
And bright and new and “clean.”
The media sure loves 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 — ’cause I won’t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won’t get justice. This is about justice. This isn’t about me, it’s about justice.
It’s about buffet. I don’t have no buffet and there won’t be any church contributions,
And there’ll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain’t gonna be no cash money, no walkin’ around money, no phoning money.
Now, Barack going to come in here and –

It's one thing for Rush Limbaugh to play this on the air. It's another thing for the RNC to directly distribute it. Someday, far from now, people will realize that if they want people to stop being so sensitive about racism and racial issues, they should probably just stop being racist. That would totally work.

Oh yes, all black republicans have just been suckered by the man to use for show. Wait, how many members of Clintons cabinet were black? So lets see, like 10% or so of blacks vote republican, and Bush put atleast 3 black people into cabinet positions. Wow, thats a pretty well represented minority.

No no no, I was agreeing with you! Black republicans, by mere fact that they are so numerous, and racially educated and observant individuals like yourself support them means they OBVIOUSLY must be the proper representatives of black people...or at least what those silly negros SHOULD be!

Couldnt agree more. As your sig notes, if you look at the big issues, the parties fight over shit they both know will come to no resolve (abortion, affirmative action, religion, education etc) to win public votes again and again every other year, or they agree with each other wholeheartedly (the bailout for example).

221 killed in Iraq.
State pension fund - $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax - 10.25% highest in country.
(Look it up).
Chicago school system - rated one of the worst in the country.
Of course, they're all blaming each other. They can't blame

Racist, probably not. Insensitive, yes. Retarded, totally.

I already refuted that first one (further refuted over in the 'black boys kill' thread that Im guessing you havent and wont read).
Im done sourcing for today (see above), but Ill get to the Condi breakdowns source. Maybe Ill post it later, maybe not. These back and forths waste too much of my time. Until then, I will say if you look, youll find it. Hell, it was even a topic in one of Rices Primetime interview last year or the year before that. Im surprised others havent brought it up here already, or when it first was announced (I believe I was gone at that time).

Okay, now I heard another version of this song, same name, but far more offensive because it played on every stereotype there was. I had been forwarded it as my name on someone's list, and told him in reply to please not send me anymore racist shit. He sent back a email apologizing, which I accepted.
But now I am fucked because the version here wasn't the version I heard, and want to show the difference, but I don't save shit like that so have nothing to show now.
This I found tacky and tasteless, but the other song I found truly offensive.

This is pure racism. How often did we hear about John McCain's Irishness? And all this stuff about Obama not being born in the US-- well guess what?? John McCain wasn't born in the US-- he was born in Panama. I think there's a much greater likelihood he'd be born off base than Obama's mom visiting in Africa while pregnant and then sneaking the baby back in, all without this showing up on her passport and her great precognitive awareness to fake his stateside birth...?
These little racisms are problematic and are just plain ugly.
