130. AGAIN, Limbaugh is being DISPICABLE. Which is what I said ....if you'd not cherry pick.
He is using a term "Magic Negro" (not negro, but MAGIC NEGRO) to paint Obama as a subordinate magical African SUPPORTING character whose purpose in a film or work of fiction is to come along, and with magic and wisdom, HELP A WHITE MALE PROTAGONIST get out of trouble.

The purpose of Limbaugh's use of the word was to MOCK Obama in THAT context. To suggest that he's NOT IN CHARGE, really.

Where you find a DEFENSE of racism in my argument, I have no fucking idea. That's stupid logic, dear. I don't defend racism.

Spike Lee has EVERYTHING to do with this. It was Spike who REVIVED the discussion of the Magic Negro when he produced BAMBOOZLED.

And again, skin COLOR is not the issue, and that's again, not a DEFENSE of racism.

You're a rather, er, CONCRETE person. The world of ideas is apparently closed to you.

You argue at the grade school level, not the eighth grade level, and you do not understand complex constructs.

You've stuck both feet up to your frigging KNEES in your mouth, dear. I don't appreciate you're calling me, in backhanded, dunce-headed fashion, a racist or a defender of racism simply because you're too thick to follow a discussion.

That's YOUR problem, not mine.
