Forum Overview :: Rants :: The Magic Negro

[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="bastage"][quote name="Fussbett."]Now that I've shot my mouth off about getting the references, I'm sad to admit that I don't know what you're talking about here.[/quote] Jeez, that means there are at least two 'magic negro' references then. (And a quick search turns up quite a few more.) Glaring spelling error aside (I meant a single penis and its heart) the first episode of the 'new' Man Show had a segment where a guy couldn't decide whether he wanted a happy ending at a massage parlor and his 'magic negro' appeared to help him make a choice. Funnier than described, it was on about a week ago but I guess you were probably busy conserving power or something and missed it.[/quote] ...and busy never watching the Man Show. If they're throwing around Magic Negro jokes, I guess I should start. The Magic Negro is a term used from way way back in film to describe the black supporting character who is usually the moral compass and helps the white protagonist(s) figure out what to do. Basically every character Morgan Freeman or Whoopi Goldberg ever plays. <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/0612stereotype12.html" target="negro">http://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/0612stereotype12.html</a>[/quote]
