Just heard reference to Russian trolls spreading the meme that Kamala Harris is not really ‘black’.
Limbaugh is helping them. Or maybe the Russians are helping him and a few hundred other Republican racists on 1000 radio stations again.
On Wed 1/30/19 Limbaugh dusted off “Barrack the Magic Negro”, a song Paul Shanklin sings in a vocal ‘black face’ Al Sharpton imitation to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon (lyrics below).
He explained why it’s ‘okay’ to play the song:
This is white comedian Paul Shanklin with the vocal portrayal here. Al Sharpton was upset and didn't like Obama at the time.
and
That's the Reverend Al Sharpton and Barack the Magic Negro and. It all comes from an L.A. Times column. Every claim in that lyric was written in the LA (Times) and I nevertheless was blamed for calling Obama a Magic Negro. And even the guy that wrote the column in The L.A. Times started criticizing me for calling Obama the Magic Negro. Now the reason we bring this all up because the exact same thing now is playing out with Kamala Harris and just heard it on CNN. Is she authentic and authentic means are you down for the struggle. Meaning do you have slave trade ancestors and or blood and Kamala Harris does not. Her mother was a Tamil Indian her father is from Jamaica Kamala Harris is not quote unquote black. She calls herself a woman and person of color. And this is what they would do this is a controversial thing on the Democrat side. As you heard Don Lemon attempting to explain it all to Fredo Cuomo
Here’s what Tad Barker wrote in The Hill 12/30/08
This song is racist. Just because you are pretending to be Al Sharpton doesn't turn your bigotry into witty satire. It's basically saying that there are "real" and "fake" black people, that the real ones are inner-city and poor, are radicals or rappers. That black leaders only care about ripping off their flock. Come on — the term "white interloper" is in there.

On the conservative blogs, I read that people really think Obama was elected because white people voted for him so they would no longer feel guilty about historical racism. Really? It's weird that I have never heard that from a white person who voted for Obama, only from racist whites who voted for McCain.
Here are the lyrics:
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.
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk,
Not come in late and won!
[refrain] Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's black, but not authentically.
Some say Barack's "articulate"
And bright and new and "clean."
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper's dream!
But when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don't be fooled!
Don't vote the Magic Negro in —
'Cause —
[spoken word] 'Cause I won't have nothing after all these years of sacrifice, and I won't get justice. This is about justice. This isn't about me, it's about justice.
It's about buffet. I don't have no buffet and there won't be any church contributions, and there'll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain't gonna be no cash money, no walkin'-around money, no phoning money.
Now, Barack going to come in here and —
These universities are good places to protest until they stop supporting racist Trump radio.
Artificial intelligence will force ad industry to kill RW radio. Dems can accelerate the inevitable.
