Rush Limbaugh has been airing a parody entitled Barack the Magic Negro on his nationally syndicated radio program. Focusing on Senator and Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama (Limbaugh refers to Obama as a "halfafrican-american"), the parody includes the following lyrics by an Al Sharpton imitator: "vote for him and not for me 'cause he's not from da hood."
Recent news accounts report that Obama has been receiving hate e-mail and letters, that CBSNews.com decided not to enable comments on Obama stories after some commentators posted racist remarks, and that members of the United States Congress have recommended that Obama be provided with Secret Service protection.
A colorblind society indeed.
