the word is
parody
just sayin'
and since you get nothing right ever... Paul Shanklin, who wrote the song is a CONSERVATIVE (not a "leftist" by any definition) who has been appearing on Limbaugh's show since 1993.

don't you ever get facts straight?
Actually Jillian, You are half right. Paul Shanklin, the extremely talented musician(makes Bruce look like the joke he is) and satirist was inspired by a column that Rush pointed out to him. Those are the actual
facts.
This is the actual opinion piece written by a
very liberal,homosexual, black columnist. This would be a perfect example where Rush has found something written in a national newspaper by a liberal columnist, brings it to the attention of the public and is then blamed by imbeciles for saying it and being a racist.

Obama the 'Magic Negro'
The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.

AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.
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 Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia Magical negro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .
He's there to assuage white "guilt" (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.
As might be expected, this figure is chiefly cinematic — embodied by such noted performers as Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, Scatman Crothers, Michael Clarke Duncan, Will Smith and, most recently, Don Cheadle. And that's not to mention a certain basketball player whose very nickname is "Magic."
