This past December, Republican National Committee chair candidate John "Chip" Saltsman distributed a CD to fellow party officials entitled "We Hate the USA." One of the songs on the CD is entitled "Barack the Magic Negro." It was written by conservative satirist Paul Shanklin and aired on Rush Limbaugh's radio program.
The title of the song is based on a March 19, 2007, Los Angeles Times article entitled Obama the "Magic Negro," written by David Ehrenstein. In the article, Ehrenstein makes the argument that then-Senator Obama lends himself to white America's idealized standards of a less-than-real black man.
