Ken Blackwell Defends Barack the Magic Negro CD
While the current chairman of the RNC criticizes Chip Saltsman’s song about Barack Obama, Ken Blackwell, former Ohio Secretary of State and one of two Black men vying for the seat agrees with Saltsman and says it’s the media that’s creating all the stir.
“Unfortunately, there is hypersensitivity in the press regarding matters of race. This is in large measure due to President-Elect Obama being the first African-American elected president,” said Blackwell, who would be the first black RNC chairman, in a statement forwarded to Politico by an aide. “I don’t think any of the concerns that have been expressed in the media about any of the other candidates for RNC chairman should disqualify them. When looked at in the proper context, these concerns are minimal. All of my competitors for this leadership post are fine people.”

If I have my information right, there is also songs about white men in polotics on the CD. I dont here you knocking them. The first thing Barack needs to do in office is change the name United States to Double Standard USA. America is so Double Standard. If I black person kills a white person, its just murder, but if a white person kills a black person, its always racially motivated. A man can loose his job for calling a teams of black people Nappie headed hoes, but if a black person calls a white person a nappie headed ho, thats allright. Americans are the cause of all this. A black or hispanic can file a lawsuit on racial descrimination, but can a white person.NO. If Obama is as good as all of you that voted for him think, then maybe he can fix all the double standard issues in america
