The song is a grotesque parod...No, it's really not. <BR/><BR/>The song is a grotesque parody of a "ghetto dude" who's pissed because Obama isn't "black enough" to represent him. The initial jab at Stanley Crouch and other cultural critics - which <I>might</I> have been funny if handled well - is lost in a cascade of ethnic stereotypes and pseudo-Ebonics. That Rush Limbaugh, the Jabba the Hutt of Caucasian pigginess, found it funny says all you really need to know.Satyrbladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015786983800102480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-3871992417512919012008-12-27T23:50:00.000-05:002008-12-27T23:50:00.000-05:00Seems to me that only someone with some black in '...Seems to me that only someone with some black in 'em is qualified to determine if someone fits the bill of "magic negro."<BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Then, again, my black wife thinks "Hancock" is a magic negro movie (sight unseen as yet, mind you)...however, she isn't a geek like me so she doesn't understand that a black superhero and a magic negro are two entirely different things. She must still be stinging over "Baggar Vance." (Not to mention "The Green Mile")<BR/><BR/>Not having heard the songs, I couldn't possibly comment on whether they're funny, but I do recall that Mike Huckabee's campaign commercial with Chuck Norris in it was hilarious, so if this guy had anything to do with THAT, then THIS little album might actually be some worthy satire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
