Well, "Barack the Magic Negro" started an uproar about Rush Limbaugh being racist for playing the song repeatedly on his radio program...

I have to say, though, "The Star Spanglish Banner" was pretty funny... =)

Here's my top 5, in order:
1) Barack the Magic Negro
2) We Hate the USA
3) Ball of Fire
4) Bomb Iran
5) The Star Spanglish Banner

It's just supposed to make people laugh at something that really sucks...

Well a lot of people have bad taste and in turn like to make songs and short movies showcasing their bad taste to share with people who also have bad taste. Using the word negro in 2008 is not only in bad taste but racist as well. Even if used in a parody like manner.

He would be racist if he was not just REPEATING the words of an LA Times editorial writer who was actually the first person to call Obama "Barack the Magic Negro". Paul mentions it in his song.

So by your logic it's okay to use the big N word since black rappers use it and it wouldn't be deed racist? Using the "hey the black guy said it so it's fine to say!" excuse is an extremely justification for racism.
