23. Wow, you can mince and spin the definition down to a T |

But I still stand by my first assessment that Magic Negro is apt. Let's not pretend the White protagonist is not the Mass of whites who voted for him, without whom Obama would not be in office. The bottom-line is the Magic Negro delivers in times of trouble. And all I'm hearing from Flynt and the pony crowd is quaking F-E-A-R. Many of us have lived this kind of fear for our very existence on a daily basis, and the last 8years just ramped it up for ALL of us. And that's probably one of the differences in the two camps and I'm sure neither camp is all black or all white. While there are some things I don't agree with or fully understand, I seek out posts and info looking to explain why he can't shut GITMO down right now, why he can't remove troops right now, why can't Gays marry right now, why with a majority health care can't be passed this instant, et cetera. But I also balance that with the many good things Obama has done and the hard work yet to finish.
Pony lovers to me want the POTUS to change right now because he's had his chance (Alone) to know exactly what to do at all times. Again, at this point I think Flynt's tactic is too premature, to me based in fear leading to unreasonable expectations grounded in the Messiah syndrome the GOP so firmly nailed among many of us during the campaign trail.
