You are quite right, in that Jim can ban me if that is his wish. Although I would hope that he would not given that I am expressing my opinion, in a civil manner (even though I am being called a tool by one of your apparent supporters). Jim can feel free to review my past history of postings and know that I am not a hack, tool, etc.
I just don’t think it helps the conservative cause by using the phrase “Magic Negro” and I bet that a good number of folks who come to this site on a regular basis agree.

The word negro, now considered by many as archaic and offensive, is used intentionally to suggest that the archetype is a racist throwback, an update of the "Sambo" and "savage other" stereotypes. Spike Lee popularized the term, deriding the archetype of the "super-duper magical negro" in 2001 while discussing films with students at Washington State University and at Yale University.
