“The Magic Negro ditty is a satire on Al Sharpton and Joe Biden. That’s reality, people. It just quotes things Al Sharpton, the L.A.Times and Joe Biden said about Obama.

Of course, this reminds me of the dynamic we saw illustrated during the election: You’re accused of a smear when you accurately quote a democrat.”

Exactly. Anyone who thinks the song is racist should be after those guys, not the people who simply pointed out what they’d said.

I thought it was a pretty good spoof on the concept of being “authentically black”.
