Republican Elected Official Defends Obama “Magic Negro” Song
December 27th, 2008
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.

ME!!!..ME!!!!..ME!!!!..POST FOR TODAY!!
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!!
CHIP NOT SHIP…WOW ME!!
“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.
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.
IF IT WASN’T FOR HE WHITE AMERICANS OBAMA NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED PLAIN AND SIMPLE. BLACKS ARE 13% OF THE POPULATION. MINUS CHILDREN,CONVICTS, AND HOODRATS ON PAROLE, THAT LEAVES 105. AS USUAL WE BAILED YOU OUT AND ALL YOU PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IS YOUR BLACK PRESIDENT. HEY LOSERS HAVE YOU SEEN HIS MOM,GRANDMA,ETC. WHITE FOLKS BUILT THE MOST CIVILIZED SOCIETY IN THE WORLD.CHECK OUT THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO.
I wonder how good old Chip is at other satire- like the “fat ignorant illiterate southern hick” sung to the music Jingle Bells?
IT’S ASK NOT AXE. YOU HEARD OBAMA AT THE CONVENTION. BLACK MEN NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR KIDS. WHITE FOLKS BE TIRED OF FEEDING THEM FUTURE STREET TERRORISTS

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!
Hello all I usually never comment on these boards, but I read a few commemts then I could not stop. Why? Well I am amazed at how many non-African American’s are on this site reading and how many are responding. WOW! 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! (SO LOW).
STEPHANIE..I AGREE WITH YOU..” lynn “..IS ONE OF THOSE WHITE PEOPLE THAT GOT TOOK BY..” MR MADE-OFF”..HEY WHY DID WE NOT HERE ANY NEWS FROM..” B.E.T”..ABOUT THIS MAN THAT MADE OFF WITH BILLIONS OF PEOPLES MONEY??..B.E.T.. DID HE GET YOU GUYS ALSO??
YOU WANT TO TALK CIVILIZED STEPHANIE. HAVE YOU HEARD OF DARFUR OR EASTERN CONGO,WHERE COMBINED MORE THAN 3 MILLION MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN RAPED AND MURDERED. I’LL LET YOU GUESS WHO’S DOING THE SLAUGHTERING
IT REALLY DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY JOKES THEY MAY HAVE THE BOTTOM LINE IS:
YES WE CAN AND WE DID IT, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT.
SO LET THE IGNORANT BE IGNORANT.
Fed Up you really Paying us a lot of attention thanks! By the way I did not use the word AXE. You are pretty stupid. Like I said SPOTLIGHT! You people saw us with our own and had to have it too. You really wish yall could be more like us! WOW!! Bet you fed up with this comment too! Go read a black history book! You will see how much african americans help build this country but whites take the credit. Again SPOTLIGHT! Grow up! Get over it!
