On March 19, 2007, Los Angeles Times columnist David Ehrenstein wrote:

"But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important
unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination—the 'Magic
Negro.' ... The senator's famously stem-winding stump speeches have been
drawing huge crowds to hear him talk of uniting rather than dividing. A
praiseworthy goal. Consequently, even the mild criticisms thrown his way
have been waved away, "magically." He used to smoke, but now he doesn't; he
racked up a bunch of delinquent parking tickets, but he paid them all back
with an apology. And hey, is looking good in a bathing suit a bad thing? ...
Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer
goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic
Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were
real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black
benevolence on him."[14]

The column received world-wide attention and discussion, especially in the
news media and in talk radio. Rush Limbaugh aired a song parody called
"Barack, the Magic Negro", sung by Paul Shanklin impersonating Al Sharpton
and based on the Peter, Paul, and Mary song "Puff, the Magic Dragon".
Limbaugh also referred to the 2008 presidential candidate as the "magic
negro" several times during his radio broadcast, each time prefacing the
reference by explaining that the title came from Ehrenstein and/or the LA
Times.
