The fabulous David E says that Obama is a 'Magic Negro' -- a non-threatening black man upon whom white Americans can rely.
Rush felt that this reference entitlee him to sing (to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon) "Barack, the Magic Negro, doo doo do doo."
I really don't know anything about the fabulous David E, but I took note of this paragraph:
Poitier really poured on the "magic" in "Lilies of the Field" (for which he won a best actor Oscar) and "To Sir, With Love" (which, along with "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," made him a No. 1 box-office attraction). In these films, Poitier triumphs through yeoman service to his white benefactors. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is particularly striking in this regard, as it posits miscegenation without evoking sex. (Talk about magic!)I just saw "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". While there was much less on-screen fucking than in "Boogie Nights" -- very much less -- the topic of sex was broached, in an oblique 1960's PG sort of way. Specifically, the two fathers were chided for being dried up old farts who had forgotten the power of hot monkey love. But I guess the oblique reference wasn't fabulous enough.
By the way, this whitie supports Obama because he was against the Iraq war when 90% of the country was stupid on Bush.
