I'm guessing they don't realize what the term "Magic Negro" means.
I mean if he was Vice president... you'd have a point...
But the magic Negro is usually just a really talented blackman who often has a mystical background who's only use is to help the white protaganist do what they have to do... Even in many cases if the black character is more capable.
Like... Bagger Vance or something.
The press was easy on him during the election mostly because it was ridiculiously hard on him in the primaries.
Really George Stephanopolis being on that debate more then anything else gave Obama what he needed to avoid criticism both right and wrong that most candidates get.
Obama wasn't so much a magic negro as George was a magic leprachaun who got caught and ended up coughing up a bunch of political gold.
