Also, you know that if some old white man got up at a McCain rally and referred to Obama as "the magic negro" we would all be freaking out.

The term was popularized by Rush Limbaugh, and I've used it consistently as a means to mocking him and those who think like him.

And I don't disagree with what you wrote.  I've noted elements of it in the past.  But -- and you've done this many times -- you're taking something I've said and warping it into something it most certainly is not.  It's not meant to be informative.  Funny?  Yes.  You don't think it's funny.  Fair enough.  Even if you find it offensive, you could simply say so, and, as I responded to Fran, I would've responded in the same way to you.

You think it's destructive.  Fair enough.  Say so in the original response instead of blowing what I thought was pretty clearly meant as a harmless joke (as in every. other. case.) so out of proportion.  Not everything has to have some great meaning, poemless.  At least not as I see things.  You apparently disagree, and that's your problem, not mine.
