The Magic Negro

"Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him."

- LA Times

Once again, the double standard. If a conservative said this, the conservative would be vilified as a racist.

(Thanks to Rush Limbaugh for calling this to my attention.)
