Is the Song "Barack the Magic Negroe" Racist?
Your fist inclination may be to say yes, just from first reading the title of the song. You may even be more inclined to say so once you hear that it comes fromt he Rush Limbaugh Show. The title of the song originates from an LA Times article calling Barack the term "Magic Negro" because he makes white people feel good about them selves, and because Obama is not an 'authentic' (whatever that means) black man. The person singing it is supposed to be Al Sharpton. Here is a link to Youtube if you would like to hear the song played. Youtube
Here is a link to the LA Times article. LA Times Here are the song lyrics: 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 --

A racist believes their race is superior to others. The appropriate word would be prejudice or discriminatory.

Maybe you should explain exactly what you see as racist about the lyrics, Buddy.
I don't see anything offensive with the words....but I'd be curious if an African American would be offended.

Why do people make such a big deal about this?
First amendment. I have the right to insult anything and everything as much as I please. I have the right to be prejudiced and be outspoken about it if I choose to.
