Barack The Magic Negro?!

Okay so I heard this song a little bit ago as it was making it’s way around youtube and emails and I have to say it’s pretty offensive on many levels to many people. I understand that this is a satirical piece (similar to the cover of  The New Yorker, with Barack dressed like Osama Bin Laden and Michelle as Angela Davis, months ago). I get that it’s supposed to be offensive and cause a stir, but when is offensive too offensive? when do we realize that even though controversy sells, it lowers our image and integrity. Come on people, we have to wisen up a bit. It’s a new day.

Now on to this guy

Larry Elder.
I have seen this guy around quite a bit on these news channels and it’s always the same. He’s an ass. Bottom line, no way around it. He’s written a few books (which I won’t plug by name or supply a website for to support) that I guess makes him feel he’s an expert on things. He’s a black republican, which I have no problem with. Heck, I’m a black libertarian/independent. But I mention that he is a black republican because it seems to me that in his eyes the republican party can do no wrong. At least that’s how it seems to be to me. He calls himself the “Sage from South Central” but seems more like the “Coon from California”.  Dude seems, and his bio shows, highly educated but  like Nana Sincere says ‘you can pay for school, but you can’t buy class”. Honestly, he’s real hit and miss with me though. it’s like he panders to the audience or host as opposed to be real and true to how he really feels about something.

Now back to the video. I understand we live in a politically correct world and that we are way too oversensitive when it comes to any and everything but did that somehow desensitize us? Has oversensitivity actually desensitized us? Hmmm… What I mean by that is, are we the little boy on the mountain? Have we been crying wolf for so long that when something offensive actually comes along that we can’t recognize it for what it really is?
