During Barack Obama’s 2008 run for the White House, a fawning media embraced him with a bear hug for the ages. In an article titled Obama the ‘Magic Negro,’ The Los Angeles Times described him thusly:
“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 was real, white America couldn’t project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him.”
In his brilliant keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Obama electrified the nation when he declared, “There is not a black America, a white America, a Latino America, an Asian America. There’s the United States of America!”
Obama’s keynote address and a cheerleading media propelled him to a landslide victory by leading a solid majority of the electorate to believe he would be the nation’s first post-racial president. He turned out to be anything but.
