“Who cares, it was in bad taste”

Nonsense. Talking about Barack Obama as something of a “magic negro” merely acknowledges a legitimate phenomenon in the United States. We should definitely be discussing this sort of thing. There are indeed numerous politically correct individuals who perceive Obama in somewhat magical terms. This is what helped him get elected! Let us never forget that the president-elect with his very thin resume would have been ignored if he were white. If we can’t discuss this matter now, when can we? Sometime in the 23rd century?
