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.

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 Seriously, who uses the term “Negro,” “Colored” or any outdated racial names?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.
Small companies couldn’t slap auto industies any harder, points besically to African American who stood for change, thats the song, before the solutions to the back of the bus, and don’t ask for any jobs, not from any new Government with big Chuckie Honkies, and family having all the jobs, quite a recession, but whos complaining about raceism.
I think that black people are smarter than us whites!!. I wish I were a black person but Iam stuck in a white persons body.
I call my self fedup because I tried to date a blackman and he broke my heart!!.So from now on I have a thing against black people!! someone help me please!!
YOU BLACK PEOPLE MAKE ME SO SCARED!!.THE MEN ARE SO STRONG AND BIG IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!.THE WOMEN ARE SO BOLD WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THIS WHY..WAH..WAH..WAH..IAM WHITE DUMB AND STUPID!!
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.
Well said Jalyahs
You people will make everything into a racist issue if you people think you can gain from it .

This mentality has been around for a long time, and now they always say it is a joke, but deep down it is a manifestation of how people like him really see the world, and how he would like things to remain in that period when those words accompanied physical violence.

Why respond to ignorance? Sheesh!
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.

YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SPEND 1 HOUR A DAY LEARNING TO SPELL, READ AND WRITE. GOOD LUCK !
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.
