Republican Elected Official Defends Obama “Magic Negro” Song

December 27th, 2008

Chip Saltsman 

A candidate for the Republican National Committee’s chair spot says a song he placed on a CD was meant as humor, not racism against President-elect Barack Obama. Tennessee’s Chip Saltsman claims that he borrowed “Barack the Magic Negro” – based on the children’s song “Puff the Magic Dragon” – from a segment of the Rush Limbaugh show. “I think most people recognize political satire when they see it,” Saltsman tells CNN. He sent the CD to fellow Republicans; it included other songs poking fun at Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards. Obama hasn’t commented about news of the CD.

it would be better for black americans to hit the sensitivity button and switch it off for the next four yrs. obama will be made fun off, he will be pilloried and he will be mocked… its part of the job, his skin colour will be used against him, he african roots have already been used against him , afterall who called him an “african spear chucker”?. clue..it was not a white american.it was a black one..! what is important is that the americans have finally rejected the bush way and followed a new way….roll on jan.2009 lets get serious!!lol

What a silly cracka for making such a song!

How in the heck did he think that was funny? Are you serious? I just shows how racist people really are. That is just plain stupid! The rest of them are just as guilty for going on with it!

Here is a guy who was obviously raised with a sense that his ‘whiteness’ was equivalent to ‘rightness!’ As an Asian-American immigrant I want to remind such people that some of us who are equally (if not more) well-educated as such Bozos as he, and as well-off, will not stand for such foul-mouthed (regardless of their stated intentions?!!) vile rhetoric.
We should not stand idly by and let these things happen, regardless of the fact that Pres-Elect Obama will be the target of vile attacks. Did not see Bush being villified because of his color (even though that may have been a contributor to his thinking that he could not be wrong).

Ok, grow up guys. Not everything making fun of a black person is racist. It is a song based on a quote from a BLACK journalist and many comments made by Al Sharpton. The black journalist mentioned is the one that coined the phrase Barack the Magic Negro. If you actually listened to it, it is much harder on Sharpton than it is on Barack. It is almost mocking that someone would come up with the term in the first place.

Thank you so much, you know we some time as Americans take for granted
where we live and who we are. You make me realize how much we are admire by other country and worship by other countries. I now realize it’s a privilege for you to have us response back to you, because we are the great America, it make you feel important and that you are somebody..
You seems to spend alot of time on the american website, you know all
the domestic and local news that goes on in each american cities. You
even talk on our entertainers, like Jenifer hudson, Usher, Micheal J, etc.. Thank you for being so comsume by our culture, it’s good to know that you
think of us on a daily basic. “Oh yeah” by the way, you mention on one of your posts that you had kids, I was just curious how long did it take before your eggs hatch and how many eggs were they….

flulia said on December 27th, 2008

This is in response to a commenter who stated that we did not see Bush being vilified for his whiteness. I beg to differ, although I am not a fan of Bush and voted for Barack in this previous election; I was a witness for the duration of Bush’s presidency to countless ribbing on television and over radio that was directly race related. Comedians and sketch comedy shows routinely denigrated him with racially based humor, referring to him often as a “hillbilly” and “good ole’ boy”, cracking fun at everything from his southern roots to his parentally given wealth. Nothing was sacred. I’m not saying it is alright to do so, but if i had a nickel for every time that a black comedian made a comment about the former president’s skin color I would be rich. The point I am trying to make is that racially based humor is weak, based on poor material, and due to a lack of anything more creative to make a joke about. The song isn’t even funny, and you would think that a political mind would be able to come up with something more productive than a tired joke that’s been played out a million times.

You see, there they go again, always saying at the end of the ridicule “I didn’t mean it to be racist or harmful”, yeah right, he knew this was going to cause a stir. Why else would he do it. That’s O.K. though, I think Barack has a bigger chin than Jay Leno(if you know what I mean).

Me said on December 27th, 2008

Unfortunately, due to the fact that racism is alive and kickin’ in this country, jokes like this will permeate politics for the next four years. Yes we did come a LONG way with electing a black president, but I hope Black Americans did not forget what country they live in. Barack will be under scrutiny and will be made fun of continuously. Any mistake he may make, no matter how slight, will be blown out of proportion, instead of people recognizing he his new. He will also be blamed for all past politicians (Bush’s) mistakes and the state of the country. That’s just how white America is. I agree, we need to toughen up our skin and move past silliness, like this song; remembering we’ve dealt with racisim and will continue to have to deal with it, but let’s focus on how far we’ve come, show pride in ourselves, and see watch how much further we will go!

That jughead republican Tennessee’s Chip Saltsman has enough on his plate with being a candidate for the Republican National Committee’s chair spot without attempting satire as well. Just his picture slone is satire enough for me.

Oh well …things will be said..surely we all have sid something outta the way before. Ship is just out the closet with his…and he’s making cash to boot. Lets not be stone casters every time something of this sort happens. Stuff like this upset me very much…but Ship has to pay for his own mistakes or hatred …which ever one it is. I’m sure Ship sits on a church pew from Sunday to Sunday faithfully…but has no clue what it means to “do unto others as he would have them do unto him.” Oh but SHIP!!!…keep reading your Bible and sitting on them church pews singing …”TIS THE OLD SHIP OF ZIONNNNNN for naught…time gone wind up on you…just as it will for all of us!!

lola said on December 27th, 2008

“Humor” of this nature is completely unacceptable from someone in his position. It is attitudes like this that ruined John McCains chances (along with choosing Sarah) at the presidency. While I understand that not even the president is safe from jokes, as a public figure Chip should use better judgment and tact when trying to be funny.

Duchess said on December 27th, 2008

First and foremost, as a politician he should have shown respect for the president - elect. Change can only come about when people are willing to change and I am of the mind that we are all Americans. As a Republican was he spreading Christian preaching, moral and God’s love. Humor is great for the soul, but not disparaging humor. Obama is only a Negro because of slavery and the “one drop” rule. Whites need to get over the fact that their illogical theories concerning Americans of African descent is eroding and educated people recognize their inferiority complexes derived from insecurities. Read Dr. Weisling, Dr. Diop, Dr. Karenga, Dr. Carruthers etc…Then let’s have an intelligent conversation. This coming from a Black Republican who supported Obama because the man is intellectual on point and if given a chance will highlight the importance of education, self-reliance and pride.

Lynn, since you seem to really like statistics, why is it that you just can’t get them right? Whites did not build the civilized world. They were ( and some continue to be) the most uncivilized folks in the world. You probably could look in your own family… In regards to the “song,” I would totally ignore it. They are a bunch of words that mean absolutely nothing. We need to choose our battles wisely and this is not worth anything!

It is so funny how they are so interested in what we have to say and even took the time to respond (ignorantly or not) It is just so pleasing to see yall so interested in african americans. For yall to dislike us so much you sure are very interested and courious about us and our customs. We all understand that this guy did this for attention because they don’t want african americans in their spot light, so they got to do stupid and degrading things to get the spotlight back!

P.J. said on December 27th, 2008

I think that everyone is making mountains out of molehills. Seriously, who uses the term “Negro,” “Colored” or any outdated racial names? This is about political differences. Personally I don’t care for songs with changed lyrics. Sure the song “Barack the Magic Negro” does and will offend some, especially those who are too sensative. Is President-elect Obama expressing any outrage? Obviously, he doesn’t care. We shouldn’t care either.

fedup, I am sorry for you, but I would have a “thing” against my own race if I thought as simply as you appear to. People’s feelings are hurt by all. Use wisdom and common sense and judge people individually. For those of you who offer feed back and are gramatically behind, you should work on this. No one listens when you cannot effectively communicate. I am quite sure that you can find sources to check both you grammar and your spelling online and for free.
It is much to easy to get off topic, but for those of you who want to get back on it, look at the first reply to this topic. I believe (he/she) had it down. People will say stupid things and do stupid things and there is nothing we can do to stop it. However, you can educate yourself. Try that. It might work for you.

It’s rediculous to assert that Sarah Palin was rediculed, was satirized because of either race or gender. My aunt, who said, I love Sarah Palin because she’s a working mother as so she can sympathize with my situation and with other working moms. You don’t like her just because she’s a woman.” Yes, she’s a woman– so is my mother– but I do not feel my mother should be second in command of the nation just because she understands working mothers. Sarah Palin is prejudiced, manipulative, and corrupt. She’s also clearly ignorant of geography, key issues such as foreign policy– ” I can see Russia from my window!”, the complexity of our diverse nation– “Wasilla is a microcom of the nation.” –if that’s not an oversimplistic comparison– I don’t know what is. If she had opportunity she would have sang the “Obama the Magic Negro” song to her frenzied reacial epithet shouting supporters– Sarah Palin the all American gril– all she needs is a white sheet and hood– and a cross to burn.

Sharesse said on December 28th, 2008

This is what I think, this racisim needs to stop! Now you voted for Bush and you see what he got you in. Now you regret you ever voted for him. Now give this man a chance and stop acting ignorant. It doesn’t matter what color you are. The only difference in you and him is the color of your skin, that’s all. Put yourself in his shoes. Would you like someone being mean to you because of the color of your skin, something that you have no control over? How would you feel if that was your son or family member, that people made fun of in a mean way because of the color of his or her skin. Being racist only shows how ignorant a person really is. Color does not matter. If you don’t know that by now, then guess what? You have issues that you need to work on. That black man or whatever race you want to call him, just might be the one who makes a difference in you and your family’s life. He could even increase the chances of you affording to pay for your child or children’s college. He could even be the one who saves that elderly family member by allowing him or her to recieve the coverage he or she needs, whether it’s medication or facility assistance. When the man of your same color made it hard for you because he was a racist and only wanted to help the wealthy. Now we all know that majority of the US is no where near wealthy. All the families who are struggling are not all black. So now you see color doesn’t matter. We have a good portion of US families who are struggling now to make ends meet. You may be apart of one of those families who is trying to make ends meet. So now you see the one who was racist, turned on you and you are the same color. So now you see the color of your skin doesn’t matter it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Let’s tell the truth, it time to let this racist stuff go. Let’s get a new way of thinking and a peace of mind. We are in this together. The color of someone’s skin doesn’t matter. Think about this. What if you were that person you were dawging out just because of the color of their skin. Or, better yet what if that was your child being dawged out because of the color of their skin how would you feel? You would feel terrible, because it’s something you can’t control. So you think about that the next time you are mean to someone because of the color of their skin. How would you feel if that person was you.

Sharesse, well said. Although I knew that if Obama was elected President of the US, racism would come out of the woodwork like roaches scattering once a light comes on, it still makes me sad and angry to read these hateful posts. I realize that some people are scared of losing the power that they once had, but coming here on B.E.T slamming a race and culture you obviously don’t understand make you look stupid and ignorant, which is the true definition of a N*gg*! Your true colors are coming out “you racist idiots.” America sees that you are not as smart as you make yourself out to be. Change is coming in all shapes and colors. It will be a rainbow coalition. Be angry and stupid about Barack being elected in office if you want, but one day real soon, you are going to wake up and You will be the minority.

OK… FIRST OFF THIS WHITE MAN WOULD NOT WANT TO BE CALLED “CHIP THE MAGIC CRAKER”… HE WOULD ALONG WITH OTHER WHITE AMERICANS FIND IT OFFENSIVE AND OUT OF LINE IF OBAMA SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT… SO HOW COULD HE THINK THAT THERE WAS NOT AN INSULT BEHIND CALLING OUR PRESIDENT ” BARACK THE MAGIC NEGRO”. BLACK AMERICANS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TURN A SENSITIVITY BUTTON OFF, BECAUSE CERTAIN THINGS SHOULD NOT BE SAID. AND IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING SENSITIVE, ITS ABOUT GETTING THE SAME RESPECT THAT YOU GIVE… MR OBAMA HAS IGNORED COUNTLESS COMMENTS MADE ABOUT HIS COLOR AND NATIONALITY… WE EXPECT RADIO PERSONALITIES, CERTAIN TALK SHOE HOST, COMEDIANS AND PEOPLE OF THAT NATURE TO MAYBE MAKE SOME TASTELESS COMMENTS, BUT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ENDURE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR COMING FROM PEOPLE ELECTED TO HELP RUN THIS COUNTRY…. THEY SHOULD TREAT POLITICS LIKE SPORTS AND THESE OFFICIALS SHOULD BE FINED FOR UNETHICAL MEAN CRUEL COMMENTS….. AND IF WE START DIGGING IN THEIR POCKETS WE MIGHT CAN HELP OUR ECONOMY, AND PEOPLE MIGHT THINK BEFORE ACTING UPON CERTAIN THINGS…

Do blacks ever stop whining ? Seems they always have someone out to get them . Collect your welfare and stamps the whites pay for you to have and keep your uneducated ungrateful mouths shut. What else do you want ???

Tiffany said on December 29th, 2008

This world has a lot of different people in it and their are some that are good
and some that are not so good and if we as people continue to subject ourselves to the ignorance in the world we will always be a divided country. Racism will always exist because we still have ignorant people instilling ignorate things into their children and generations to come. I say RISE ABOVE… Obama is the president of the United States of America yours and mine WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!!!

Luscious29 said on December 29th, 2008

I think the song is very racist and sad. It’s a shame that racism still exists in the year of 2008. I really don’t see how this is funny at all and there is good and bad in all races so I don’t understand why racism exists. Maybe one day just one day this will end and everyone will be treated equal.

Listen up! This is nothing but jealousy. Relax, and sing “we have over come”. Be proud, and thankful. When God does it, no one can stop it.

Lo said on December 29th, 2008

Red Neck Hunter; Lynn, Fedup, David, Lakers24 ,Shiann, Grady and House Negro Hunter. Stop the racial comments. Theres no need for this. And the fact the lakers 24 wants to talk about he and David’s sexual adventures, is total disrespectful. There are gay sites that you can post on. How are you all are going to answer to God Almighty when you die, for these awful comments. Think before you speak. If you guys and ladys do not like blacks why do you post any comments. It doesn’t matter who own this site now, you all know that this is mostly a black comment site. And for the blacks on this site, you know that ignorants is bliss, stop responding to these guys. Stay with whatever the topic is. I send love and guidance to all. Be safe for the New Year. God Bless.

No one in the land of the living is perfect or better because of their skin color, how much money, reglion, education level, or gender. We are only here in the land of living temporary. If people want to live a life of sin, hatred, depress, stress, or unhappy. Let it be. That’s their business. Why, feed into the negative comments? Obama knew when he was elected that he would face negative results. That’s between him and his higher power to overcome. No weapon formed against him or anyone shall prosper. Sometimes its best to turn the other cheek. Save ur energy on positive comments and let others waste theirs on the negative. Just remember those that was once rich will be poor and those that are poor will one day be rich. This is not our battle!!!

Joi said on December 29th, 2008

President Obama is going to face many hardships while in office including ignorant racist comments from ignorant uneducated people. Remember, it doesn’t matter what they say our President is black!!! These stupid people on this website & all over the country are just MAD & they don’t know what to do but dish out racial comments. They so angry a black man will be leading this nation its gutwreching to them, I mean these people are so pathetic when they see President Obama on TV they probably have a tantrum. AND ITS TOO FUNNY, they feel this way, but sad at the same time. So just ignore these stupids comments because at the end of the day our President is black & ain’t jack they can do about it but keep CRYING & trying to hurt us with their comments. They ain’t bout to do it in person or to someone’s face so it’s whatever!!

this is an example of why blacks distrust whites . i have lots of white freinds and not one of them found this funny. as long as we have charaters like this representing this countries we will never be free from our racist past.

vikizz said on December 30th, 2008

Lynn, Fedup and the Republicans, THANK YOU for showing us how stupid and ignorant you all are. It’s really amazing how well you do it. You know my grandmother would say, “Now there are three reasons why some animals eat their young”. People, Lynn and Fedup should be accepted for what they are (IDIOTS), prayed for, and ignored on this board. They have nothing positive to contribute, so ignore them and maybe they will go away. The Republican politician and the others in agreement with him has done nothing but embarassed America. While they are finding ways to make jokes about our new President-Elect, the terrorist and working on ways to get us. Wake up and build not destroy.

Happy New Year! said on December 30th, 2008

Chip Saltsman. I could make lots of jokes about that name. What kind of chip? Munchos - the chip no one eats; the one that’s always left in the bag. Saltsman? He does look a little salt. And what about the way he looks? His face looks like a butt - an ugly butt at that.

nakia 4m La. said on December 30th, 2008

this goes out the….. GRADY….. i know that i dont know you but that waz wrong for what you said about black people. not every black person live off of welfare.there is white people that live of of welfare to. so how dare you go and say such a thing, when you know that it dont matter what color your skin may be you still can get welfare.And for your info whites dont pay for black folk welfare the government do.so i think that you need to think before you express whats on your mind.you know what i am not done ok idk what color you are an it realy dont matter but is seems that you are not BLACK.so i will say what if you was black are you saying that you would be on welfare.no matter what you say i bet there is some on in your family that is on welfare and are tring to make ends meet.boy know matter what color someone is they are still to be treated equaly,and they are still GODS child.we may not be the same color on have the same mom or dad but in GODS EYE we are brothers and sisters.before i go i would like to say this there is not a black HEAVEN OR HELL or a white HEAVEN OR HELL there is not even a seperate HEAVEN OR HELL for people on welfare you i think you need to just read the bible and think about things. BYE.

Jazmine said on December 30th, 2008

White males are so fearful of Black males that they have to find some type of way to degrade and dehumanize of us. White males are so envious of the fact that they don’t have the Black man’s strength. It’s ridiculous. Come on, did he really make the song out of humor or fear. White males still don’t understand the strength of our Black males and they never will. Wake up white people, we’re here and we’re not going anywhere. Especially BARACK OBAMA!!

T BEAR said on December 30th, 2008

WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYIN OBAMA IS HERE TO STAY.OF COURSE HE’S HERE FOR A FEW YEARS,AND WERE COOL WITH THAT OR WE WOULD NOT HAVE PUT HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I KEEP TELLING THE UNEDUCATED ON THIS SITE THAT THERE ARE NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH BLACKS IN THIS COUNTRY TO ELECT A PRESIDENT. YOU MAKE UP 13.4% OF THE POPULATION AND NOT ALL OF YOU CAN VOTE. CHILDREN,CONVICTS,PEOPLE ON PAROLE.SO DO THE MATH FOOLIOS.AS YOU CAL ALREADY SEE HE’S SRAYIN FROM LEFT TO CENTER. HE’S ARE (BOY) YOU REMEMBER THAT.

Kenyatta Thompson said on December 30th, 2008

I for one found the whole article offensive. The song itself isn’t the point. The fact is people keep pointing fingers at Obama but doesn’t everyone deserve a break! I’m so tired of everyone coming down on him. We should all be rejoicing right now! I’m an African American young woman, 15, and i do believe it is time for a change!!!

RED NECK HUNTER said on December 31st, 2008

THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE USA. IT’S HAPPENED TO EVERY PRESIDENT IN OUR CONTRIES HISTORY,SO STOP WITH ALL THIS SUDDEN BEHAVIOR ABOUT HOW WE NEED TO BE NICER TO THE PRESIDENT. MAN UP. BUSH TOOK IT FOR EIGHT YEARS FROM YOU PEOPLE, HIS DAD TOOK IT FOR FOUR YEARS,CLINTON TOOK IT FOR EIGHT YEARS. OBAMA IS HALF WHITE SO I KNOW HE CAN TAKE IT. IT’S THE HALF BLACK CRY BABY IN HIS BLOOD WERE WORRIED ABOUT. HE DESERVES NO BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT WE’VE HAD SO STOP WITH THE WAH WAH WAH.

Republicans wonder why they get less than 4% of the black vote. It is idiots like Chip Saltzman that prove the southern republicans are the GOP’s worst enemies.

Cheri said on January 3rd, 2009

First, there is no problem with political satire or making fun of anyone. However, as much as I didn’t like the politics or personalities of McCain or Palin, I would be offended if anyone released a song about “honkeys or crackers”. That is going too far! This song about Obama is going too far!

As a country, we have to know the limits of joking. This starts in schools when children joke around but some go too far. They bully or harass. This is the same .those bullies are now adults and don’t seem to know the difference between humor and the offensive.

We all know calling Obama a Magic”negro” is a very negative and highly offensive. Can’t we find higher, more intelligent ways of satire. This is just the most ignorant thing ever!!

nikki said on January 8th, 2009

personally yes its a darn shame but we as black people need to stop getting offended…cause we offend white,hispanics,chinese and it goes on…We do it and expect it to be ok but once someone comes wth a black joke we back on that slavery shiii…….Yes that man was wrong but its done and it cannot be changed…move on
