Barack Obama The Magic Negro
Need I say more? This song was played on "Rush Limbaugh," who by the way is one of the most public-sanctioned racists of all time. Folks in the TEA Party and even just the Republican Party love this guy.
Here is a list of some of the things that Rush has said on his radio show:
1. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?
2. “Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”
3. “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
4. “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
5. “They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”
6. [To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”
7. ”I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.”
8. Limbaugh’s many attacks on Obama.
Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not Black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for Black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush.
9. “We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.”
10. “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”
THIS GUY IS ON THE RADIO FOR HOURS EVERY SINGLE DAY! Need I say more about how the mass media perpetuates racism?
Im very offended moreso cause the person, singing it is suppose to be a black man. The voice of the singer as he sings the lyrics is very sarcastic. He sounds like a inferior unintelligant black. And People like the person who made the song are the ones who lend Rush Limbaug a hand in insulting black people. smh
