The “Barack The Magic Negro” Non-Scandal

MichaelW at QandO.net has the run-down on why it’s such a non-scandal (quick summary: The term “Barack the Magic Nego” was used in an LA Times column by a black, homosexual liberal to describe the use of Obama by white liberals to assuage their liberal guilt), and he was on the Scott Hennen Show today with Scott and I to explain further.

For my part, I continue to be amazed at how dishonest the media is.  The lyrics to the song actually mention the LA Times as the originator of the term “Barack the Magic Negro.”

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.

Any reporter or talking head who spent even a minute or two exploring the origin of this parody song, as opposed to just judging it by its title, would have gotten the joke.  But as always, the media has double standards.

Democrats get the benefit of the doubt.  Republicans have to explain themselves.
