[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Barack the Magic Negro

[Herb Parsons]

Brad,

I think it's also noteworthy that most of the press have presented this 
episode as if this one song were chosen and sent, or as if it was the 
highlight of the CD that was sent. Neither is the truth.

The CD that was sent was a collection of 41 political parody songs. It's 
also important to note that Paul Shanklin (the writer of the parodies) 
is from TN, and is a close friend of Shanlin's.  I'm including the list 
of the songs and skits below, to show that this is NOT a racial issue, 
it's purely political.

This is another example of those that don't like something labeling it 
in the most pejorative manner possible. The problem is every time one of 
the malcontents falsely cries "racist", it dilutes the meaning of the 
word, and minimizes the real instances of racism and injustice of the past.
