RUSH: I mentioned this earlier, and I had emails, “You\u2019re just making that up, right? You\u2019re trying to make us laugh. ” No. Here we go. Audio sound bite No. 4. CNN Tonight, Don Lemon is a guest here with Fredo Cuomo and they\u2019re talking about Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

LEMON: Here\u2019s an interesting thing that\u2019s happening, the whole idea of how does she identify? Does she identify as an African-American? Did you see the thing going on on social media?<\/p>\n

\"\"FREDO: Yeah, I saw it.<\/p>\n

LEMON: “Does she identify as a person of color?” Because when asked by Jake if she, you know, “As a black woman…” she goes, “As a person of color.” You remember that whole thing with Obama, “Is he black enough?”<\/p>\n

FREDO: Yes!<\/p>\n

LEMON: That is different than identifying. But it\u2019s just an interesting conversation to me that I hear people talking about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s silly. It is stupid! But it\u2019s precisely identity politics. They\u2019re doing a whole segment here on, “Is Kamala Harris black enough? Is she really African-American? Just like we had to discover about Obama! You know, he wasn\u2019t all that dark,” and then they found out, “Well, he\u2019s half… His mother was white!” “Well, it doesn\u2019t matter, influences are more important than Obama.” Then they start running around and some of the Obama opponents on the Democrat side said, “He\u2019s not down for the struggle. This guy, Obama, does not have any slave blood.”<\/p>\n

They were saying this, folks! If you didn\u2019t remember, don\u2019t doubt me. So Obama had to counter this. He had to counter the idea that he had no “slave blood,” meaning that he was not down for the American civil rights struggle. So he\u2019d go down to Selma. Sel-muh! I\u2019m sorry. To Sel-muh. You have to almost cry when you say, “Sel-muh,” and the Reverend Jackson is there, and the Reverend Sharpton is there, and Obama puts on, just like Hillary Clinton when she goes to Selma (screeching), “I ain\u2019t no ways tired.”<\/p>\n

And the crowd cheers, does her black-inflection impression. And Obama did the same thing. I forget what words he said. But he started speaking in “African-American type dialect,” \u2019cause he knew he wasn\u2019t down for the struggle, didn\u2019t have “slave blood.” They\u2019re talking about this all over again with Kamala Harris. “Is she dark enough? Is she really, really African-American or not?” And it\u2019s an important thing. These guys are acknowledging it. So Don Lemon continued this in-depth and very, very important discussion.<\/p>\n

LEMON: Being African-American is different than being black. You can be black and Cuban. You can be black and Caribbean. You can be black and Dominican. You can be black and, you know, South African. But the experience is different as an African-American, someone whose culture and experiences are born out of the American slave trade and —<\/p>\n

FREDO: Right!<\/p>\n

LEMON: — out of Jim Crow is different than someone whose ancestors weren\u2019t and who didn\u2019t have those experiences, if you were born out of that, if you have roots from that particular struggle.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: See? We\u2019re getting there, folks. We\u2019re getting there. “Kamala Harris? We don\u2019t know yet if she down for the struggle. Obama was not down for the struggle! He did not have slave-trade black anxious,” and he didn\u2019t. He didn\u2019t. So these people are discussing, “Are these black candidates dark enough? Are they too light? Are they really us?” Here\u2019s the… I\u2019m looking here if I can squeeze these things in here in the time I got left. Here\u2019s the next Don Lemon bite. Let\u2019s just see what happens.<\/p>\n

LEMON: I think it does matter! I mean… (pause) It does. I think Barack Obama went through that. I do think that is an important distinction, just like there are people from Italy who come from different parts, and they all identify as Italian. And I\u2019m sure the same thing with Jewish people or with Irish people or, you know, black Irish or what have you. So I think that people, especially African-Americans — people who, you know, their ancestors came over on slave ships and had that particular experience as a person of color in this country, their ancestors and then beyond… I — I think that that is an important distinction, do you identify as a person of color, a black person, or as distinctively and instinctively African-American?<\/p>\n

RUSH: And there you have it. So these are the struggles that the left is going through now as potential Democrat nominees who are people of color begin to tell each other how they identify. Because, you know, a “person of color” is different than “black,” is different than being African-American, different being Cuban-American, Jamaican-American, \u2019cause being down for the struggle. Well, this all led… Have you got “Barack the ‘Magic Negro'” handy by there? You know what? I forgot the answer. I know we\u2019re not gonna get it. Take the break first, because I\u2019m not sure the time of “Barack the ‘Magic Negro'” and I\u2019m up against it on time. So let\u2019s take the break. We\u2019ll be back and continue right after this. Don\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, all of this came up during the 2008 campaign of Barack Hussein O, and a guy wrote a column in the Los Angeles Times claiming if Obama was the “Magic Negro.”<\/a> He was not an Obama fan. He said that what Obama really was… (summarized) “The ‘Magic Negro\u2019 is a Negro that white people can embrace and support and prove that they\u2019re not racist.” So we took what was said in that column — it was written by an African-American columnist — and we put it to tunes. We got Puff the Magic Dragon, and we rewrote it to “Barack the ‘Magic Negro'” and we explained how it all came to be in the actual lyric lines of the tune. This is “white comedian Paul Shanklin” with the vocal portrayal here. Al Sharpton was upset and didn\u2019t like Obama at the time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

WHITE COMEDIAN PAUL SHANKLIN: (via bullhorn) Barack “the Magic Negro” lives in D.C. The LA Times, they called him that \u2019cause he\u2019s not authentic like me. Yeah, the guy from the LA paper said he makes guilty whites feel good. They\u2019ll vote for him and not for me, \u2019cause he\u2019s not from the \u2018hood. See, real black men like Snoop Dogg or me or Farrakhan, have talked the talk, and walked the walk. Not come in late and won!<\/p>\n

(refrain with background singers) Oh, Barack “the Magic Negro\u2019 lives in D.C. The LA Times, they called him that \u2019cause he\u2019s black but not authentically. Barack “the Magic Negro\u2019 lives in D.C. The LA Times, they called him that \u2019cause he\u2019s black, but not authentically.<\/p>\n

Some say Barack\u2019s “articulate,” and bright and new and “clean.” The media sure love this guy — a white interloper\u2019s dream! But, when you vote for president, watch out, and don\u2019t be fooled! Don\u2019t vote “the Magic Negro” in \u2019cause… (music stops) \u2019Cause I won\u2019t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice! Uh, I won\u2019t get justice! This is about justice! This ain\u2019t about me, it\u2019s about justice. It\u2019s about, ummm\u2026 (background singers singing chorus)<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: The Reverend Sharpton is unable to stick to the lyric line breaks down in anger. The chorus…<\/p>\n

WHITE COMEDIAN PAUL SHANKLIN: There won\u2019t be any church contributions! No cash in the collection plate. There ain\u2019t gonna be no cash money, no walkin\u2019 around money. Barack is gonna come in here and say that he\u2019s authentic, that he\u2019s gonna be in the street in the struggle with the rest of us, down here where all of us struggle! (music fades out) This is crazy! I\u2019m not gonna have nothing!<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the Reverend Al Sharpton and “Barack the ‘Magic Negro\u2019,” and it all comes from an LA Times column<\/a>. Every claim in that lyric was written in the LA Times — and I, nevertheless, was blamed for calling Obama the “Magic Negro.” Even the guy that wrote the column in the LA Times started criticizing me for calling Obama the “Magic Negro.” The reason we bring this all up is because the exact same thing now is playing out with Kamala Harris. You just heard it on CNN. “Is she authentic?”<\/p>\n

And “authentic” means, “Are you down for the struggle?” meaning, “Do you have slave trade ancestors and\/or blood?” And Kamala Harris does not. Her mother was a Tamil Indian. Her father is from Jamaica. Kamala Harris is not, quote-unquote, “black.” She calls herself a woman and person of color, and this is what they were doing. This is a controversial thing on the Democrat side, as you heard Don Lemon attempting to explain it all to Fredo Cuomo before they both got in the boat and went out into Lake Tahoe for the afternoon.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: To Wickenburg, Arizona. This is Courtney. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I really appreciate this. It\u2019s an honor to speak with you, sir. I\u2019ve been listening since I was a little boy, and I\u2019m 38.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir. I have to tell you, I\u2019m at a point in my life that I\u2019m really tired of this, “Am I black?” or, “Is this person black enough?” You know, this half-and-half thing where, you know, your mother\u2019s white, your father\u2019s black. I don\u2019t see why in the United States this day and age, it isn\u2019t even an issue anymore outside of the leftists really playing on people\u2019s emotions with this thing. I read an article recently on ESPN —<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let me help you understand it. It\u2019s not complicated at all. The reason why all of this is kept alive as a supposedly crucially important issue to leftists is because this is how they maintain the United States was unjust and immoral from our founding because of slavery, the slave trade. It\u2019s an ongoing effort of theirs to delegitimize the United States as founded. As racist and bigoted, as a nation founded exclusively by and for rich white men. So the discussions of, “Is somebody black enough? Is somebody dark enough? Does somebody have slave trade?” That\u2019s all about promoting the legitimacy of that person\u2019s attack on America.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush; so why is it that, you know, England as a superpower, during the slave trade when they were taking people from Africa and putting \u2019em all over the world…? I mean, I would venture to say most people who are black in color, you know, originated from the African slave trade for the most part. Why isn\u2019t England seen as a problem in beginning this thing? It\u2019s not like this was our original struggle. This is after we became a nation, this is where we were at. I don\u2019t understand why we continue to beat the United States down when this was an England problem that we inherited it as a nation once we became the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Nobody ever talks about that. I mean, you have people in Africa. You have people in Jamaica… I mean, all over the world. I remember Bob Costas referring to Usain Bolt during the Olympics as an “African-American.” I thought, “What an ignorant person.” This man is a Jamaican representing his country, and yet Bob Costas is stupid enough to call the man an African-American. I\u2019m like, “When are we… The United States is the ones… You know, we\u2019re the ones that are still talking about this. The world doesn\u2019t talk about this. That man\u2019s a Jamaican. If you\u2019re from France and you happen to be black, you\u2019re French.” We really have to stop this hyphenated-American culture that we have.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I agree.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s destroying us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But the left will not succeed in advancing their agenda. They purposely want us divided, Courtney. The left is not about unity and coming together. The left is about snuffing out opposition, delegitimizing their opposition. Not defeating us, not in debate. They are seriously focused on eliminating opposition — and, as such, discrediting the opposition, delegitimizing it is one of the many ways they go about this. And despite the fact that when you talk about the United States, we actually went to war, and 500,000 Americans died in the quest to end slavery.<\/p>\n

You think that counts for eh? Not a whit. Not a whit. They have made movies about William Wilburforce. William Wilburforce is credited for being the prime mover ending slavery and related treatment in Great Britain. Who is credited…? Where are the great movies and books written about the ending of slavery and discrimination in the United States? There aren\u2019t any because as far as the left is concerned we\u2019re still a slave state, Courtney. That\u2019s what you have to realize. We\u2019re still a slave state. Blacks are essentially still enslaved.<\/p>\n

\"\"They are still the recipients of bigotry and racism. That\u2019s why all the focus on crime against blacks gets linked to this inherent injustice that is the United States. It\u2019s the left keeping this alive and now the Democrat Party keeping it alive, for the express purpose of dividing us — and the ultimate objective is to transform America out of and away from what it was founded. It really is no more complicated than that. It may sound like, “Rush, that can\u2019t be true,” or “They\u2019ll never succeed.”<\/p>\n

They may not, but that\u2019s what the effort is. That\u2019s pure and simple what the objective. Here\u2019s Roger Goodell. We have one bite from his press conference today. Remember, now, the sports Drive-Bys to want hear whatever Goodell\u2019s gonna say about how the NFL botched that call. Here\u2019s how Goodell… I don\u2019t know if this was the opening of the press conference, but it was pretty much near the beginning of his statement.<\/p>\n

GOODELL: It is only fitting that we are here in Atlanta, a city of milestones, a city of progress. Atlanta is a pillar of the civil rights movement, the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In the helm of civil rights icons like Congressman John Lewis and Ambassador Andrew Young. We are proud to devote much of this week to honoring that legacy, the men and women who fought it and contributed so much to our country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you see, Courtney, this is the National Football League, and it is their biggest week of the year, the Super Bowl, and it\u2019s all about race. That\u2019s what the commissioner of the NFL wants people to know is on the minds of the powers that be at the NFL. It\u2019s not as though Dr. King and Andrew Young and John Lewis and the others have not been honored. They are honored repeatedly and over and over and over again. There can never be too much honoring out there. There can never be too much time spent remembering all of the pain and suffering.<\/p>\n

So, you see, we\u2019re not allowed to get past it out there, Courtney, much less acknowledge that we ended it, much less that the Constitution was written with the mechanisms contained to end it. No. It must be maintained that nothing has changed in the United States since the founding, and that\u2019s why identity politics now as identified the real enemy. It goes back and forth right now. It\u2019s primarily white males, and then add “Christian” to the end of it and you\u2019ve pretty much encompassed the target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
