Mr. Alex -

The American process for selecting a president is frequently a bitter, vicious, what we call "mud slinging", event. And of course a form of "historical battle." It has been said that America does not have major revolutions because we have little ones every four years.

Parodies for hundreds of years have come into play.

In today's world, of course "You Tube" and the "DYI - Do It Yourself" opportunities have given voice to many rapidly evolving forms. The 4 minute video is available through hundreds of on-line sources.

In the current presidential contest there is a "no holds barred" attitude. For example, a current song and music video is a pointed racist attack on one of the Democratic Party contenders for the US Presidency - Barrack Obama. It uses a type of racial dialect associate with poor, blacks from our southern states.

Barack the Magic Negro

(To The Tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon")

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 made guilty whites feel good
they'll vote for him and not for me cause hes not from da hood

See real black men like Snoop Dogg
or me or Farrakhan
have talked the talk and walked the walk
not come and laid and won (not sure about this line)

Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times they called him that
cause he's not authentic like me
cause hes black but not authentically

Some say barack's articulate and bright and new and clean the media sure love this guy a white interloper's dream

But when you vote for president watch out and dont be fooled dont vote the magic negro in cause...
