Banyak orang negro yang terkenal dan menjadi 'legend', seperti Michael Jordan, James Brown, Walter Payton, Sydney Poitier, dan masih banyak lagi negro yang berprestasi melebihi bule di Amerika. Cuman, baru kali ini ada omongan "Magic Negro" dan istilah "Halfrican American" untuk Barrack Obama.
Makanya, konvensi demokrat nggak bisa di prediksi karena kandidat terkuatnya dari Dems adalah negro dan perempuan. Amerika, negara rasis, mana mungkin pilih negro atau perempuan? Pilihannya rakyat Amerika untuk presiden mendatang adalah negro pinter, perempuan pinter atau redneck dungu (republikan)? Saya sih berharap, Clinton yang menjadi presiden. Cuman bagaimanapun juga, magic negro pasti lebih baik daripada redneck republikan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKS5bnxer0s =================== Shock jock unrepentant over derogatory Obama song. Ewen MacAskill in Wasington The leading US shock jock Rush Limbaugh is taunting the liberal media by repeatedly airing a derogatory and racially charged song about the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Limbaugh, whose rightwing talk show is one of the most listened to in the US, has been running a song called Barack the Magic Negro, to the tune Puff the Magic Dragon. On his show Limbaugh says he is an entertainer and the song is a parody. He justifies it by saying the first linkage of the term "magic negro" to Mr Obama was by a black commentator, David Ehrenstein, in the liberal Los Angeles Times. Limbaugh says liberals upset about the term should be aware that "magic negro" is a historical cultural term, a reference to benevolent African-Americans portrayed in old films. Another of the shock jocks, Don Imus, was sacked last month after racially and sexually demeaning remarks about a university women's basketball team. Mr Obama's campaign team described the song as dumb. Mr Obama, who could become the first black president, said he had not heard the song but had heard about it. He played down the row, saying that he did not take himself so seriously that he became offended by every comment made about him. Karl Frisch, a spokesman for Media Matters, a US monitoring group, said yesterday he did not see a difference between Limbaugh and Imus, and accused Limbaugh of inflaming his audience. He described the song as being consistent with previous comments by Limbaugh, such as referring to Mr Obama as "Halfrican American". Mr Frisch said the song was first aired in March and there had been a lot of internet traffic. The mainstream US media had been slow to respond but papers such as the Chicago Tribune were now beginning to take notice. He said the slow response was partly because the media saw Limbaugh as being on the fringes. "I take him seriously because he has a large audience," Mr Frisch said, adding that figures such as the vice-president, Dick Cheney, had been guests on the show. Mr Obama was last week given secret service protection after threats appeared on white supremacist websites. The CBS News website this week took the unusual step of blocking all readers' comments on its stories about Mr Obama. Mike Sims, the director of the website, said CBS could not collectively delete the ugly remarks because of their "volume and persistence". A CBS spokeswoman said yesterday the block is intended to be temporary. ============================ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
