The Republican party wants to change their public perception. The no longer want to be considered a party of old racist white men who are afraid of anything different. And what better way to go about changing that perception that to have the latest RNC candidate, Chip Saltsman send out a Christmas gretting to fellow Republicans that contains the lyrics from a satirical song, “Barack the Magic Negro”.

And bright and new and “clean.”
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper’s dream!

Don’t vote the Magic Negro in —
‘Cause – ’cause I won’t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won’t get justice. This is about justice. This isn’t about me, it’s about justice.
It’s about buffet. I don’t have no buffet and there won’t be any church contributions,
And there’ll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain’t gonna be no cash money, no walkin’ around money, no phoning money.
