[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Barack the Magic Negro

[Brad Haslett]

Ben,

Hypocrisy?

So, it's OK for a homosexual, African-American, liberal to write an
article about a Magic Negro in a major newspaper, but should a white
man write a parody using his material he's being racist?

Hypocrisy indeed!

Brad
