  • Chorus

    • Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
    • The L.A. Times, they called him that
    • Cause he’s not authentic like me.
    • Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
    • Said he makes guilty whites feel good
    • They’ll vote for him, and not for me
    • Cause he’s not from the hood.Conservative Culture: Drive By Media Matters - “Magic Negro” and Secret Service (May 8, 2007)

    • Some say Barack’s “articulate”
    • And bright and new and “clean.”

    • A white interloper’s dream!
    • But, when you vote for president,
    • Watch out, and don’t be fooled!
    • Don’t vote the Magic Negro in –Conservative Culture: Drive By Media Matters - “Magic Negro” and Secret Service (May 8, 2007)
