So just edit the title
The expression Hussein the Magic Negro has been used on National TV and Radio. What is racist about it? Please elaborate why this is racist.
Thank you... Like I said, nothing racist was intended... I was using the MSM’s phrase, just added the Muslim part
Watson’s in Singapore, so he may have missed the constant alluding to that phrase here in the MSM
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and write that I don’t think you are a racist, and I’ll even give you further benefit of the doubt- that you mean to use the term in a highly ironic way- but I doubt very much if you would use that term at work, or amongst mixed company etc.....
So you shouldn’t use it here- especially when it can be used by lurkers to attack free republic for being racist.
If you honestly can’t see that, then the Admins should probably pull your postings.
If I had used the other word, which I NEVER would (as that clearly is racist), he had a point...
Oh. I thought it was a play on Voldemort’s “He that Must Not Be Named”, and couldn’t figure out what the 4th M was.
The women will search for consensus by looking among their peer groups for which way the wind is blowing. As time goes on, the women will abandon Hussein enmasse. The word will be out over coffee and on cellphones.....better go with Sarah and McCain.
At work, and usually around mixed company, I need to abide by the PC atmosphere that's so awfully prevalent... I didn't realize this was a PC environment here.... If that was the case, what's the point? Frankly, I've called the left sKum on a few occasions... Would I use that phrase, or jacka$$e$, or the like? Probably not....
Again, it was meant more tongue-in-cheek than anything else... and I'm not gonna censor myself even beyond what the MSM uses themselves....
That being said, I AM a guest in JRob's living room... and he or the Mods can edit or ban my postings, or my account, at their will
Please don't go down the road of making this a PC site, it's as slippery slope.
Strickland has governed like a conservative on every issue except the charter schools and one of the homosexual ordinances (a minor one). He signed the concealed carry law. He actually signed lower business taxes (though not income taxes) in the state. He KNOWS that this state is going down the tubes if we don’t get business in, and that the “sick leave” law would have just about finished us off. He’s a Hillary guy who has aspirations for still higher office, too.
Thanks. Will he actively campaign for Zero?
Folks, never mind the polls just look in how the candidates are campaigning that is the true factor..
I’ve used that too, for “H”... Gorgeous day in CT today, after all that rain
You do realize that ‘the magic negro’ is a term the LA Times used to describe Barack, don’t you?
It’s actually better for McCain than Ras is reporting. Rasmussen uses a 3 month ‘intensity factor’ when weighting the results - Intensity for McCain just went up about a week ago, so his numbers are dragged down by voter intensity BP (Before Palin). I’d say he’s lookin good !!!
The polls usually dictate where they campaign... Where-they-campaing is somewhat of a lagging indicator
I agree that the phrase “Magic Negro” is derogatory. I don’t like it when Rush uses it; I don’t like it when it is used on this forum. I am not PC, but it can be too easily construed to imply a racist meaning.
Common sense needs to be used on this forum. I think that if someone on this forum called Lieberman the “Magic Jew” there would be a good chance that their post would be pulled. Just because it is said by Rush, doesn’t make it acceptable or smart.
My guess is he will go through the motions, but I don’t know the man well.
You’re kidding. Right?
It stands for NEGRO. You consider that racist? Tell the LA Times who tagged obama as teh Magic Negro.
